Hughes & Kettner

The Spirit StompMan Single Channel 50-Watt Pedal Amp from Hughes & Kettner is a powerful and flexible, fully analog amplifier in a compact stompbox form factor. Serving up tubelike warmth via its analog Spirit Tone Generator and capable of potent sound pressure levels, the StompMan is designed to be the center of your pedalboard, with a plethora of I/O, control, and up to 50W of high-powered amplification it can even be used to let your digital modeler drive a speaker.The StompMan features two footswitches, one of which is programmable to provide either bypass or serial FX loop selection, and six control knobs for nearly every desired amp function, including gain, resonance, tone, saturation, and more. The single-channel amplifier contains a Solo function that lets you boost your output power by up to 6 dB with the push of a button. It can drive speaker cabinets up to 4x12 in size up to full stacks. With multiple routing abilities the StompMan can handle nearly any signal chain or pedalboard layout desired, while making it easy to achieve everything from clean tones to heavily overdriven, modern grit. For those seeking a unique all-in-one analog amplifier that can be taken anywhere, the Spirit StompMan is a truly standout option. Spiritual Analog ToneDistilling the Essence of Tube Physics At the heart of the StompMan is Hughes & Kettner's award-winning Spirit Tone Generator technology, a fully analog circuit that captures the tone and feel of traditional tube amps. With this nifty tech in its engine room, StompMan delivers a wide range of sought-after clean and overdriven tones. When paired with outboard effects, it can also serve up every flavor of contemporary heavy sound. The all-analog tone generator is made in Germany and sealed in a protective housing to ensure long life.Amp Sagging-Control Drive a power amp hard enough and it will buckle like a weightlifter under a heavy load. This effect is called sagging and the dip in power supply voltage has a significant impact on tone and feel. As the amp has to work harder, more harmonics and compression are added to the signal. The Spirit Tone Generator lets you dial in power amp saturation in a manageable way. This allows the sagging knob to be a creative sound-shaping tool to rival any gain knob, and it works properly at any volume level.
