I picked up the combo vetta II in 2020 for. $300 and it’s in literal perfect condition now my longboard is well used and that was $100 and works great just wish there was more vetta II users out there to learn some info on updating sounds etc

can someone please help me troubleshoot my switchblade amplifier why it's not powering up

the pre amp is analog it has 2x12ax7 tubes but the switching is digital/midi controlled

+Dean Green I would'nt buy a H&K amp. They have no soul in sound, a lot of gimmicks, switches, modes. I have tried some, but they are not for me.

This is thee most amazing AMO ever - I just bought the 100W Head and I am blown away!

you got this same model? what styles are you playing? any pros vs cons? theres one for 300 on my local craigslist im debating getting, but never heard or seen anyone with this amp

Really? I've played through every amp imaginable .. what I've witnessed in my life is that it's not necessarily the amp or the guitar, but the magic emanating from the fingers of the player .. Peace

No it wasn't. Up is on, on these.

2 12ax7's for the preamp

This amp sucks Digi Balls

You my friend really need to try an ENGL. Now I am just assuming you havent played one and are playing metal and talking about dual rectifiers. I personally HATE these amps. I find them to be sooo muddy and loose when it comes to low end and gain staging. Now if I am completely wrong about the amps you have tried and style you play in my assumptions I apologise. But if I am correct I HIGHLY recommend trying ANY engl amp, but my personal favs are the Powerball and Savage. I just bought this head two days ago (HUGHS&KETTNER SWITCHBLADE 100 HEAD) and I haven't had a lot of time on it yet but I absolutely LOVE this thing. It has EVERYTHING I have personally been looking for in an amp ; TIGHT AF LOW END AND GAIN, very sensitive eq's, easy to dial it in with another guitarist and bassist and have it still cut through and not get lost in the mix, and all the effects that I personally will ever use (not a huge effects guy). The only outboard gear needed for this bad boy in my opinion is a noise gate and a tuner, no external EQ necessary. I highly recommend this amp. I used to own a 5150 og block letter as well and I wasn't very impressed with it all, I bought it just on the fact of how many bands use them live and the whole thing of it just kind of being a go to amp for metal. But I am assuming all these bands and dudes playing these heads must have tons of pedals/rack gear and or mods done to them to make them sound good. I found it loose and grating.

No. The Bass knob might look like it's cranked, but it's probably not saved into the pedal as such. All adjustments only take effect if that specific setting is changed. It doesn't reset all when you start moving things around. Been using a switchblade 100 with 4x12 cab for 10 years now. The Bass can never be at 100% - WAY too much bass for my liking. It's good at around 70%.

If you listen to the new Black Spirit 200 they just brought out, I still think this sounds better. Of course, that is solid state and I think they used a preamp similar to the Coreblade, but that is just a guess.
