PEDAL POWER

Pedalboard-based amps are big news, and Hughes & Kettner’s latest offers a fully-analogue, 50-watt solution at your feet. The Stompman aims to recreate the feel and response of a full amp head in a compact pedal solution by using the brand’s Spirit technology with Tone, Gain, Master, Presence and Resonance controls, as well as a Sagging control which changes the amount of power amp saturation. As well as this, there’s a footswitchable boost circuit labelled ‘Solo’ which can provide up to

6db of additional volume.

The Stompman also includes a switchable FX loop/ line out and speaker output. It’s available now with a full price of €199.
