KISS Guitarist TOMMY THAYER Talks Gear

March 3, 2010

Vintage Rock correspondent Rachael Cadden conducted an interview with KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer at the Hughes & Kettner booth at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 14-17, 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Watch the chat below.

Thayer found his amp of choice in the Hughes & Kettner Duotone. In fact, he was so enthused to chance upon an amp so good that he put his name on a Duotone signature series model. It now adorns the amp's shining blue Plexiglas front panel, alongside his official KISS logo. Adding a stylish cosmetic touch, the amp and the matching signature edition cabinet (CC 412 A30 SE) are decked out in a highest-quality faux croc leather covering.

Duotone delivers to-die-for tone, but takes the one-sound-wonder of vintage amps a significant step further.

When Hughes & Kettner set out to design this modern classic, it collaborated with an amp-tuning specialist to embrace the pros' most frequently asked for modifications. The top four demands are more tone, more attack, a tube-driven effects loop and a clean channel that merits its name!
