Hughes & Kettner is known as one of the earliest creators of digitally controlled analog tube amps, an idea I still think is underutilized in the modern amp game. The ability to have preset control of your analog amp is something every amp should have, in my opinion, and the GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is evidence of that. It’s not the only standout feature on this little monster of an amp – DSP effects, a killer noise gate, Redbox cab sim out and a compact size make this amp a steal at around $1k.
