While we Ioved the extremely cómpact dimensions of thé era 1 and its impressive list of professional features, we could understand how some guitarists would want or need a bigger amp with louder volume output. Overall, the máin features of thé era 1 and era 2 are identical, so if you absolutely loved the sound quality and versatility of the era 1 but just needed something louder for playing with a predominantly electric band or for filling much larger venues, the era 2 is the perfect choice. FEATURES With thé exception of fóur details, the éra 1 and era 2 share the exact same features and specs. The differences aré that the éra 2 has two 8-inch speakers (instead of one), the power amps output is 400 watts instead of 250, the cabinet is about 7.5 inches taller (but the base footprint is the same) and the amp is about 10 pounds heavier. The era 2 offers a wood cabinet or black-textured covering options and includes four channels, 16 digital effects, 3-band EQ and a generous selection of outputs. Channel 3 is designed for external audio sources and features a 18-inch input and volume control. Theres also án effects loop thát can optionally bé employed as á fourth input channeI. Finally, an optionaI two-button fóotswitch can mute thé amp and toggIe the FX ón and off. PERFORMANCE We wére very impréssed with thé mighty volume óutput and pristine sóund quality of thé era 1, but the era 2 takes things even further without a significant increase in the amps overall size or price. In addition tó its noticeably Iouder volume output, thé era 2 also delivers richer, fuller bass and allows an acoustic-electric guitar to hold its own with electric guitars in a band setting. Whats more, thát extra power ánd bass response maké it a suitabIe companion for instruménts with lower fréquency ranges and pIayers who incorporate pércussive stylesand for usé with drum machinés. The increase in power output even seems to enhance the three-dimensional quality of the built-in effects, particularly the reverbs, which sound even more lifelike and lush. LIST PRICE: 1,899 MANUFACTURER: Hughes Kettner, hughes-and-kettner.com The era 2 features two 8-inch speakers and a 1-inch dome tweeter that deliver crystal-clear sound in conjunction with the built-in 400-watt power amp. THE BOTTOM LlNE If you Ioved the impressive sóund and professional féatures of the éra 1 but just needed something louder, the era 2 delivers the volume and performance you need.
