Hughes & Kettner Spirit AmpMan Modern

I initially took it for quick guitar tracking in my DAW, so I don't have to power up my tube amp and run cables just for the sake of recording a swift idea. The form factor of the Spirit AmpMan Modern allows it to sit next to me, it is very easy to use and provides a great variety of sounds, especially via its cab sims.
I still haven't gone through all its possibilities, but my quickly recorded guitar ideas sound so much better via the AmpMan.
I will probably dare one day to gig with it, although I got it for a completely different purpose.
The high gain channel sounds great, however only via certain cab simulations. It could however be a matter of personal taste.
Overall great amp I would gladly use in the future.

I have to question the quality, as I had to return it for repairs after it broke down after only a few months. Not an experience I usually have with Hughes & Kettner, their amps are usually very reliable

Apart from that, based on you get what you pay for, you get a decent sounding amp, quite versatile, and very practical. You can use this live, it easily drives a 4x12 cab and gets loud if you need it. It also makes for a very practical back up amp

A hint though, use it with a booster pedal with an EQ or parametric tone control, or an EQ pedal in the effects loop. It will give you a lot more control over the sound, and clean it up a lot
