The Hughes & Kettner DuoTone 100W head is an incredible rock and heavy metal amp that's loaded with character, tone, and balls. Jaw-dropping cleans and massive headroom are at your fingertips as well. While more stripped-down than a Triamp MKII, the DuoTone has a wonderfully addictive tone and response of its own. Absolutely one of the very best amps made today.

"A tight booster for the lead channel, a sweeter sounding clean channel, and a second switchable master that lets the player put lead lines front and center - those are the mods owners of classic rock amps most frequently request when they consult an amp hot-rodder. We, on the other hand, sought to build a rock amp that would satisfy all the demands of discerning guitarists right out of the box. So we teamed up with the German amp tweaking guru Dirk Baldringer to build an amp tuned to taste right here in our factory. Our plan worked - Duotone ladles out huge helpings of typically assertive British rock roar, with tons of presence and a Boost switch to turbocharge tone that's already thick enough to slice. And for dessert, Duotone serves up the sweetest clean sounds even at very loud levels. If amps could weep, this one would certainly drive its lesser competitors to tears.

If you want the no-frills-all-thrills tone of a classic tube-driven rock machine, Duotone is your ticket to instant tonal gratification. German engineering meets British rock - what a fortuitous fusion."
