There's loads more. You get an array of digital effects on-board, including reverb, delay, chorus, and numerous others. So it's like having a multi effects unit as well as an amp.

Effortless performance

The Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit makes performing everything it should be: fun, hassle-free, and simple enough to allow you to concentrate entirely on your music. With a device mounted to a mic stand, you can quickly use the app to adjust your settings when stood playing. Or, even better, there's also 'Direct 7' mode.

This lets you assign a preset to one of each of the seven on-board buttons on the Black Spirit 200's built-in MIDI board. Which means you can then quickly access them on-stage by simply pressing your foot on any one of the buttons. You can integrate your own MIDI equipment with MIDI 'In' and 'Thru'. And there are also two inputs for expression pedals, should you want even more options at your feet. No bending down. No awkward knob fiddling in the middle of a song. Just everything you need, ready for you whenever.

Not just for the stage

While everything about the Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit seems to scream "live performance", it's also an amazing tool to use for practice, rehearsal, and even the studio. With a phones out, you can plug in and play silently while still enjoying all of the unit's incredible features. And for low-key rehearsals, switchable output power lets you choose between 2W, 20W, and 200W. Its Bluetooth compatibility and also it's stereo mini jack will let you play your own tracks through the Black Spirit, too. Ideal for jamming. To be honest, we're struggling to find something that this sensational little unit doesn't do.
