Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit 200
Guitarists seeking a compact, self-contained amp/effects setup that can fit in an airplane overhead and handle arena-sized gigs will find the 200-watt Black Spirit very enticing. Weighing under eight pounds, the programmable, 4-channel, solid-state amp offers a host of built-in effects and includes the company’s Red Box AE+ DI/speaker simulator. Offering deep clean-to-high-gain tone-shaping capabilities, the Black Spirit excels at heavy styles from thrash to modern, detuned metal.
