We take a detailed look at both of these flagship Hughes & Kettner Custom Tube Series amps plus show you some serious eye candy!

Hughes & Kettner Triamp Mk II
Triamp Mk II
The Triamp® MKII is a grade-A, all-round amp. With its six precision-tuned channels and arsenal of features, it puts the perfect sound for every conceivable style at players’ finger- and toe-tips. Catering to guitarists seeking uncompromising all-tube performance and total flexibility, Hughes & Kettner® formulated an unprecedented concept that culminated in the TriAmp®. Now the days of carting an armada of amps and elaborate switching systems for the sake of stylistic versatility are over. The TriAmps’s three dedicated all-tube amp sections and a built-in MIDI loop system deliver the definitive sound for every musical occasion. And because all this soundshaping might comes in a package the size of a conventional amp head, the TriAmp® is also the totability stakes winner. Amp 1 is the first choice in crystalline Californian clean and spanking ‘60s British sparkle. Aficionados in search of classic ‘70s and ‘80s rock tones will revel in Amp 2. Amp 3 is the go-to gain monster for metal masters. Amp 3’s channel 1 serves up creamy, ‘90s-style lead tone. Channel 2, in turn, offers the carnivorous response “nu” rockers need to roar, particularly with dropped tunings. All six TriAmp® channels may be activated conveniently via the included Stageboard. The optional MSM-1 module brings MIDI capability to the TriAmp®, making it the nexus of a sophisticated sound system. Alongside remote channel switching capability, it adds programm-ability to the equation, for instance, to select FX loop mode (serial or parallel)!

Hughes & Kettner Alex Lifeson Signature Triamp
Alex Lifeson Triamp
500 amps worldwide ship complete with exclusive Rush tour book, a special release Rush CD, an Alex Lifeson pick and a certificate signed by Alex.

Bringing to the stage breathtaking virtuosity and a sheer inexhaustible wellspring of creativity, the Canadian progressive rock band Rush has for more than thirty years enthused fans of sophisticated rock music all over the whole world. And although every member of Rush is able to accomplish inimitable feats on his instrument, guitarist Alex Lifeson figures prominently in the sonic equation, imprinting the power trio's every performance with his unique sounds. For years his reliable partner in tone has been our all-tube all-rounder numero uno - TriAmp MK II. As a gesture of gratitude for Alex's trust in Hughes & Kettner’s work, as well as to offer all aficionados of advanced tube amps a very special treat, H & K turned up a new version of the six-channel TriAmp. Working closely with the maestro himself, their engineers managed to forge a cream machine that delivers the goods in terms of both tone and taste. Take, for example, its getup: In keeping with Alex's wishes, the head's venerable plexiglas front panel is backlit in a stylish shade of purple (blue is the color on the standard TriAmp). Alex's signature is inscribed on the left lower corner of the front panel, making each amp an exclusive collector's item. The amp's exterior covering also boasts a very special look: The hip black crocodile-style covering is not only extremely hard-wearing, it's a head-turning visual treat. Like the captain said, one look and you'll be hooked. And this sound-generating monster's inner values certainly live up to the exterior's bold promise. Courtesy of a unique concept featuring three discrete, individually variable amp sections sporting two channels each, this tube-powered all-rounder offers a sonic spectrum that sets a high-water mark for quality and versatility. And with that, it is able to satisfy the demands of extremely discerning players of Alex Lifeson's caliber. It dishes out the full menu, from tangy vintage California clean and savory '60s British Clean (Amp1) to crisp-and-crunchy classic rock grit (Amp 2). And if your taste runs to creamy, '90s era lead and ultramodern nu-metal thunder, Amp3 is sure to delight your sonic palate. Serving up all sounds ASAP, the smart head ships with a Stageboard tweaked for utmost handling convenience. Forget the pedal board tap dance - even radical transitions from soft, chiming clean to feral nu-rock mean are accomplished at the touch of a button. What more could you want in an amp?
