HOT GEAR Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit 200 Amplifier Hughes & Kettner has introduced the Black Spirit 200 amplifier, which features a wide range of sounds and functions in an 8-lb. package. The Black Spirit 200 is the first amplifier to feature Hughes & Kettner’s “bionic” Spirit technology. Made in Germany and housed on a sealed PCB, the Spirit Tone Generator faithfully recreates the interactions of traditional tube amp circuits in a strictly analog way. The amp features four channels – Clean, Crunch, Lead, and Ultra – which cover the most well-known guitar sounds of the last 60 years, plus a comprehensive range of built-in reverb, delay, and modulation effects. The Black Spirit 200 is also the first analog amp to feature a power amp sagging control, letting players adjust the amount of power amp sag regardless of the volume level.
