Black Spirit 200 Head : Great sounding Amp!

6 years ago

I bought this amp for a few reasons:

1- Duel Voltage (100-220) this is great if you live in the Americas /Japan and moving or traveling to Europe or visa versa. This was a major reason for me as I’m scheduled to move the the U.S. in a year or so.

2- This amp is multi wattage (2/20/200 selectable) so no matter what size room I’m playing in a have a wattage to match and get a great sound... Speaking of...

3- This amp sounds great! Like clean? You got it! Light break-up on a clean channel? Yep speak of if you a little gain to the clean it sounds AMAZING and warm - and very responsive- best I’ve heard.

Crunch and Lead is where I spend most of my time and well? What can I say, I really like what I can do and the sounds I can get with these channels.

The Ultra channel has a little to much Gain for me so I don’t spend to much time playing here but I’ll tell it does "chug".

I do have two cons:

1- The foot pedal is not included (which is okay) but the cost of the pedal is pretty expensive in my opinion. With that said though it is well made.

2-The buttons and knobs feel a little cheap. The buttons in particular seem real cheap which I find disappointing considering the price point and the quality of other H&K amps.

Overall I’m very happy with the amp and would recommend to anyone looking for this type of amp.
