BLACK SPIRIT 200 COMBO

ANALOG TONE FOR A DIGITAL WORLD

Black Spirit 200 Combo combines the exhilarating range of sounds and the 200 watts power amp of the Black Spirit 200 Head, with a closed-back front-ported birch plywood construction and the powerful speaker of the TS 112 Pro cabinet.  The result is the punchiest yet most balanced frequency response ever in a combo of this size!

THE ULTIMATE HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMBO

• Four strictly analog channels that deliver a thrilling ride through musical history
• Studio quality reverb, delay and modulation effects built-in
• Serial FX loop  
• Built-in 200-watt power amp
• Fully programmable controls, direct access to 128 presets
• Powerful Celestion G12H-75 Creamback speaker
• Compact birch-ply housing with perfectly tuned Thiele/Small ports.
• Red Box AE+ DI-out with 8 cabinet simulations that delivers studio quality tone straight to desk
• Full Bluetooth remote control and preset management with the free App for iPad and Android devices 

To achieve the punchiest yet most-balanced frequency response ever in a combo of this size, we literally built the Black Spirit 200 Head’s electronics into the TS 112 Pro’s sophisticated Thiele/Small enclosure, including the same speaker: the Celestion G12H-75 Creamback.

SPIRIT TONE GENERATOR – THE TUBELESS STANDARD

For almost 40 years, we’ve been exploring the origin of the tonal magic of tube amplifiers more and more deeply. And what became obvious is this: it’s about way more than just the tube. The true tonal magic emerges from all the ‘weird’ dynamic interactions between the single circuit sections and the amp stages, the transformers and the speakers.

Together, these highly complex and dynamic physical phenomena create that rich, organic and tactile sound experience guitar players are looking for.

The Spirit Tone Generator technology faithfully recreates the natural yet wildly complex interactions of traditional tube amp circuits in a ‘bionic’ way.  This miniature masterpiece distills the essence of tube amp physics, with all of the intensity and responsive tonal behaviour,  into a compact, strictly analog circuit that promises unbridled playing pleasure.

Much of the fascinating tone of the great clean, crunch and lead guitar sounds is down to a drop in power supply voltage when spiking transient signals hit the output stage hard. Now, for the first time in an analog amp, Black Spirit 200 lets you adjust the amount of power amp sag and dial in creaminess and growl regardless of the volume level.

CHANNELS AND FX

Black Spirit 200 Combo features four channels that take you on a trip through all the trademark tones of the last 60 years. And like four external stomp boosts, the channel-tailored boost will give you an even more assertive, creamier, or punchier tone! Four inspirational, strictly analog channels plus a complete range of built-in digital reverb, delay and modulation effects make it a perfect all-in-one solution, while a sophisticated FX Loop lets you connect external FX units. And it’s all accessible directly and with the trusted handling you expect from a real guitar amplifier.

SAVE YOUR FAVORITE TONES WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON

All parameters apart from the Master Volume can be stored in up to 128 presets and recalled any time you want! Black Spirit 200 combo is the perfect solution on stage and for your sound library in the studio or at home. Recalling all your favorite Black Spirit 200 tones couldn’t be simpler: just use the optional Hughes & Kettner FSM-432 MK III MIDI board, where every one of your presets is the tap of a toe away!

RECORD AMAZING TONES WITHOUT MICS

Hughes & Kettner’s award-winning Red Box has been the music industry’s go-to device for recording guitars without microphones for decades. Black Spirit 200 combo features the most highly evolved Red Box ever: Red Box AE+. It’s the simplest, easiest and flat-out the best sounding way of sending your tone to a mixer, a PA or a recording device. But what truly sets Red Box AE+ apart is its versatility: choose from eight different cabinet types – from monstrous 4×12 stacks to compact 1×12 cabs, and anything in-between – to truly personalize your tone. This option is not only more convenient than miking up a cab. In most cases, it sounds a whole lot better!
