The infernal glow of its eight red-hot tubes says it all: Hughes and Kettner Warp X is the undisputed heavyweight champion in the Nu Metal arena. Look no further than this for rude riffing power. The amp boasts a Clean channel with big, bold and crisp tones and a Warp channel to put a grin on the face of any metal riff-meister.
Warp X is shorthand for the staggering sound pressure of a 120-watt, 6L6 tube-driven power amp prepped to pump out pure dark energy. Featuring a top-notch Clean channel tweaked specifically for heavily effected sounds and a Warp channel that brings new meaning to the term "warped," Warp X offers a ferocious feature set you won’t find on any other amp. Check out the Lube button, a sonic lubricant for fluid riffs and leads. Press it to alter the amp’s distortion dynamics and smooth out the sound for ultimate response to your touch.
But there’s more: Warp X sports Effects Loop Assign, a great FX-management tool for allocating external devices to one or both channels. Simply stomp on a single switch to go from a righteous clean sound enhanced with chorus, delay and the like to stupendous Warp sounds without effects getting in the way of your sonic onslaught!! With the optional MSM-1 MIDI Module, you can sync up your amp and external effect devices and switch them simultaneously via a separate MIDI pedal. Gear up for the 21st Century – Get Warped!
