History [ edit ]
The company was founded in Neunkirchen in 1984 by two brothers, Hans and Lothar Stamer, and moved to St. Wendel three years later.[1]
It is cited as a "long and good standing reputation as a maker of solidly performing tube amplifiers".[2]
In 1989, Hughes & Kettner offered the first realistic speaker emulation device, the Red Box, providing the sound of a speaker without needing a microphone.[3] [4] Jon Lord .[5] Music Radar [6]
The company is actively producing new models, both tube and solid-state amplifiers. In 2020, the company released the 50W Spirit Nano amplifier head, which combines a transistor amplifier with a Red Box Leslie simulator.[7] [8] acoustic guitars and microphones.[9]
