Guitar Recording In A New Dimension

Several years ago the original Hughes & Kettner TUBEMAN set a new standard for studio preamps, and that standard holds to this day. TUBEMAN combined a high-quality tube preamp with speaker simulation in a remarkably compact format. So compact, in fact, that it could very conveniently be used for both home recording and pro studio sessions with very professional results.

Straight into the Console with Rich Amp Sound

This same concept has been taken to an even higher level in the new TUBEMAN. The R&D team that created the Hughes & Kettner TriAmp revamped TUBEMAN’s tube circuitry to give it even greater expressiveness and responsiveness. The speaker simulation has been upgraded to match that of the new RED BOX PRO for added realism. The feature list now incorporates improvements suggested by TUBEMAN users from all over the world, for increased convenience and flexibility. The result is the TUBEMAN Guitar Recording Station, and it will change the way even the most demanding users think about recording guitar - without microphones, without a recording booth, and without hassles. Guitar recording in a new dimension.

Direct Access to Three Tube Channels

The new TUBEMAN offers three tube channels, each accessible directly via footswitch, and each with separately adjustable controls. In the studio this gives you a very live feeling, where you can switch in real time from clean to crunch or lead and back. On stage this lets you use the TUBEMAN as a smart live amp. Simply connect from the TO MIXER-output to the live mixing console, and suddenly a three-channel guitar amp is standing before you on stage.

Innovative Sound Control

In addition to its highly effective 3-band EQ, the new TUBEMAN offers a special VOICING control on Channel 3 (the ‘lead’ channel) very similar to the one that was highly praised in the TUBE FACTOR. This one simple control makes it easy for you to dial up a broad range of amp characters and find your own sound fast.

The compact metal housing of the new TUBE MAN is built rugged to handle abuse as a pedal, and is equally at home sitting next to the mixing console, taking up less space than a notebook.
