Deluxe Tone Technology

At the heart of the GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is Hughes & Kettner's Deluxe Tone Technology, which provides a stunning range of iconic tube tones inspired by the brand's flagship TriAmp Mark 3 amplifier. From bold cleans to snarling high gain leads, Deluxe Tone Technology makes it easy to dial in the sounds of your dreams. Save your favorite settings to the amp's 128 user presets for instant recall whenever inspiration strikes.

Built-in Effects and Adjustable Wattage

Onboard modulation effects—including chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo—and digital reverb let you sculpt your tone with lush ambiance and movement. And with five selectable wattages, from 40 watts down to 0 watts, you can achieve cranked amp tones at lower volumes that won't upset the neighbors or damage your hearing. The adjustable wattage is perfect for recording, practicing and gigging in smaller venues.

Red Box AE Speaker Emulation

The GrandMeister Deluxe 40 features Hughes & Kettner's renowned Red Box AE speaker emulation, which provides the sonic experience of a miked 4x12 guitar cabinet. Red Box AE lets you plug directly into mixing consoles, audio interfaces and PA systems without the need for an external speaker cabinet, making it ideal for recording, live playing and quiet practice.

Intuitive Control

Despite its formidable features, the GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is designed to be intuitive and player friendly. Familiar front panel controls make it easy to dial in your desired tones, while the optional FSM 432 MK III MIDI foot controller provides hands free switching between 128 user presets. The free GM40 Remote app for iPad also lets you control the amp wirelessly for an unparalleled level of tonal command and convenience.
