Surpasses My Expectations

I've always had my eye on a small H&K practice amp. I'm VERY impressed by the quality and tone of this little beast. It's not intended to be a high gain amp, but there's more than enough overdrive built in for most rockers. It really shines on the clean channel. The EQ is relative, but well voiced and musical. I like that it can be bright without harshness--that's a rarity in small solid-state combos, in my experience. With low-to-mid gain settings on the lead channel, I was actually able to get great dynamics by my pick attack and manipulation of the guitar's volume knob--another rarity in small solid state amps. That must be from the "Current Feedback" design of the power amp. Great job H&K!

I'm really surprised by the volume the little Celestion puts out there. The cabinet is 80 percent closed, so the bass response is better than expected for a 15W 1X8 combo. I highly recommend this amp. If H&K put this kind of effort into the meakest of their amps, I'm exited to think of what their high-end amps are like to play!

Better Than A Frontman 25...

I purchased this amp as a replacement for my Fender Frontman 25. It suited me just fine, until the amp jack came loose and I lost all sound. I cut my losses and this thing caught my eye. After a week of playing with my AX5G processor through the clean channel I am in total awe. I say for a 15 watt amp this thing is wicked. The amp has such a crisp clean setting. I haven't messed with the distortion channel too much, but it didn't disapoint me at all. It sounds great, I just use the processor instead. I would say that the Blu 15 beats the Frontman in EVERY department but loudness. But that is fine by me, I am still very much a novice and don't plan on playing packed stadiums any time soon....

SMALL BOX, BIG TONE!

I bought this amp for my son as a starter amp, and was thoroughly impressed once I plugged in my Telecaster.I tried my Strat through this little monster, and found the clean channel rich and sparkly while the Lead channel had plenty of wallop with a sound of amps costing much more money. The 3 band EQ allows you to shape the tone to your liking, and the Celestion speaker really does this 15 watt beast justice. Worth every penny.

I dig it

I bought this for some recording, and just simple practicing and couldn't be happier. Even for it's size it certainly is loud enough, but I don't need to push the master past more than 1/2 way.

I even was using it before I started throwing effects on it and I was able to get great sounds out of it.

It doesn't have a foot switch to go between channels, but at least it has reverb (if you are into reverb).

Solid built piece of equipment that sounds fantastic, great practice amp.

Killer amp!

This is one sweet little amp, especially for the money, and LOUD! The distortion is great, and the clean channel is like butta... The way the control panel lights up blue is completely cool. The Celestian speaker really puts out great bass, especially for it's size, and the fact that the back is closed seems to help the bass response. I compared it to similarly priced amps from Peavey, Fender, Ibanez, and Roland, and nothing even came close. Buy this amp, you will NOT regret it!
