H&K Warp X?

[ZephMan13]

Anyone have one of these? they look like sex, and from what I've heard it sounds great. ANd I've been totally getting into the whole instrumental/shred guitar thing, and I was told Hughes and Kettner were the way to go.

I played one once in a store in Germany a long time ago. It did a lot of chugga-chugga and had nice cleans. Definitely a metal sound to it, kinda "American sound", not "British".
Other than that I can't really help you since it's been quite a while. I just remember I wondered why this amp isn't used more widely.

Cool, thx man. Anyone Else?

Pretty one dimensional, GREAT amp for low tuned balls out stuff, with the right cabinet. If that's all you did then you really couldn't go wrong. If you started to get more into cleans and higher tuned stuff wouldn't be the amp for you.

I always tune in D. I just want an amps that'll do a great heavy thrashing sound, but I want to be able to get that natural organic screaming sound that, lets say Mike tyyska uses. I know he uses an HK I dont know which one though.

I am also very curious as to what this amp can do.

How does this stack up compared to the Switchblade?

i had a warp 7 2x12 loud but MUDDY i havent played the tube version in the warp series, but i had my warp for about 4 years before i sold it and got a cube 30 cuz i stoped playing in a band and had no use for a 100 watt amp in my room anymore

The Warp 7 cannot be compared to the Warp X. They're completely different designs and the Warp X is totally in another league tonewise. They just share the same name "Warp" as that is H&K's name for "metal stuff".

Sex Machineguns use triamps <3 I want a warp x too

They're pretty deep and dark, Switchblade is a COMPLETELY different amp. It's kind of like the Warp valve amps sold any "caring soul" to the devil in favour of a dirty, DIRTY thumping downtuned tone, doesn't do the other stuff as well as it does the heavy shit. I don't know how they'd go for standard tuned stuff, they're probably not anything to write home about in that sort of vibe, all the guys I've sold them too use them in Drop C as the absolute highest tuning.

they're not bass amps that do guitar like the ashdown fallen angels though, right?

I've been looking at this head for a little while now.
I didn't even know this thread was started about it though.
Does anybody have any clips of this amp?
Maybe a clip with some low and high tunings to hear the tonal differences of the amp.
