Affordable guitar amps as low as £44 available in Thomann's extensive Hughes & Kettner sale, making upgrading your setup more budget-friendly
Thomann, the popular online music retailer, is offering up to 40% off on Hughes & Kettner guitar amps, pedal amps, stompboxes, and DI boxes for recording. This significant discount is primarily due to Thomann's recent acquisition of the German amp brand, Hughes & Kettner [1][3].
The promotion covers a wide range of products, including various tube amps, pedal amps, guitar cabinets, and mini amp heads. Notable deals include the Hughes & Kettner Spirit of Vintage mini amp, now at a 43% discount, and the TubeMeister Deluxe 20 amp head, which is around 16% off [1][2][3].
Thomann's aim seems to be to make Hughes & Kettner gear more accessible to a wider audience, leveraging deep discounts during this promotional period, which lasts at least through the end of August 2025 [3]. This strategy likely helps Thomann gain market share for Hughes & Kettner products as they integrate the brand, positioning the amps as modern, versatile, and appealing to both practice and performance contexts [1][3].
One standout product in the sale is the Hughes & Kettner Redbox 5, a speaker simulator currently available for £43, with a 37% discount. The Redbox 5 is designed to sit between an amp and speaker, but does not have a dummy load built in. However, it's a great choice for those who prefer not to deal with the hassle of miking up their amp each time they want to record [4].
The Redbox 5 has a lineage that traces back to one of the first speaker simulators ever created. It provides great-sounding speaker emulation that's easy to fit into a mix, with well-thought-out options for tweaking your sound [4].
Another product worth mentioning is the Hughes & Kettner AmpMan Classic, a two-channel amplifier in pedal form, now on sale for £129. The AmpMan Classic includes an FX loop for running time-based and modulation effects, and a DI out with 8 different cab settings [2]. With individual controls for its two channels and a variety of connectivity options, it's an excellent choice for musicians seeking a compact, versatile amplifier solution.
In summary, the reasoning behind the massive discounts is to promote Hughes & Kettner products following Thomann’s acquisition of the brand, attract new customers, and boost sales during the transition period [1][3][5]. Whether you're in the market for a new amplifier, a speaker simulator, or other guitar gear, Thomann's current sale offers an excellent opportunity to explore the Hughes & Kettner range at unbeatable prices.
With Thomann's extensive sale, music enthusiasts can now dive into the world of Hughes & Kettner technology, finding discounts on gadgets like the Spirit of Vintage mini amp and the AmpMan Classic, all while enjoying the entertainment value of high-quality music. The promotion, running through August 2025, signifies Thomann's effort to make Hughes & Kettner's modern and versatile offerings more accessible in practice and performance scenarios, blurring the lines between music and technology.
