A highly advanced classic amp.
The Hughes & Kettner Statesman Series STM Dual 6L6 tube guitar amp carries the Californian 6L6 gene
in a classic 2 x 12" chassis, and adds a generous helping of Clean channel headroom. You get bigger, bolder funk, blues, and
country tones on your plate. And if you want even more than this 2 x 12" rig serves up, simply super-size the Dual 6L6 with
an added STM 212 speaker cabinet.
Beauty and the Beast
Sinfully sweet American clean with a touch of hillbilly twang and rough-and-ready British rock in one amp? They said it
couldn't be done; the sonic divide was simply too wide. They said if you want both worlds of tone and are unwilling to settle
for less, you would have to take 2 amps to the stage. They said the warm airy tone of an open back combo and the fat, focused
power of a 4 x 12 rock rig were incompatible—beauty and the beast, never to be caged together. And they said this wish,
long harbored by players seeking a more versatile rig, would forever remain unfulfilled.
German Attention To Detail
What makes the various breeds of vintage amps shine is the trademark tone produced by a particular design. Hughes & Kettner
set out to conjure the sonic magic of gratifying tone, albeit in versatile amps. For 25 years, their engineers have made it
their mission to decode the DNA of the most diverse guitar sounds, analyzing everything from input jacks to the architecture
of housings. Armed with this insight, inspired by tradition, and driven by the desire to create something fresh and exciting
for forward-looking players, they turned up a string of celebrated sound-sculpting implements, including the TubeTools line
and the TriAmp. Now all the knowledge gathered along the way birthed an unprecedented amp design. At its heart is circuitry
that stretches the boundaries of tube technology: Switching from Clean to Drive restructures the preamp circuits completely.
What's more, current feedback is also switched, tailoring the power amp's characteristics to suit the given preamp channel.
The Statesman's housing translates this revolutionary tube technology into sound pressure. It's a classic case of applied
physics culminating in art: This housing, in combination with the Eminence speaker custom-designed for the Statesman, delivers
both authentic combo and stack tone.
By employing cutting-edge engineering and wedding it to classic tube craft to
create today's most advanced classic amp design, Statesman stands as a testament to Hughes & Kettner's Technology of Tone.

Tonal Freedom!
The elegant Statesman's many custom features make it a boutique instrument. Dedicated Reverb Balance knobs match the built-in
Accutronics reverb to each channel. A push of the Clean channel Twang button takes you from the sound that sparked the British
Invasion to star-spangled California clean. The Drive channel's Boost button sweeps from the throaty rasp of the early rock
'n' roll years to the raging rock of the high-octane‚ '80s and beyond. The EL34 head and 6L6 combo's Drive channel even
offers a second, separately adjustable Master. A simple twist of the wrist is all it takes to push your leads up front and
center. Classic sound paired with modern-day versatility—this symbiosis is what makes the Statesman such a class act.
