Description
"Spirit of Rock" is just as dynamic as "Spirit of Vintage," but with added attitude and aggression.
A soft strum produces a gentle sound, a strong strum results in a growl, and a hard strike of the strings produces a roaring roar. Its touch sensitivity and responsiveness are extremely high, allowing you to control the entire range of tones, from crunch to lead, with your fingertips using the guitar's volume knob.

The "Sagging" knob functions like a variable turbocharger, inviting you into the world of "brown sound."
It's incredibly clear, with each note of the chord ringing out distinctly. And we're not just talking about power chords here.
With the "Sagging" knob turned all the way up, the amp behaves like a fully driven tube amp without a master control, allowing you to unleash your emotions from your fingertips. And just a slight increase in the "Gain" knob makes the amp greedily suck up the sound from the pickups even with minimal string touch.
Tapping will suddenly feel easy.

Furthermore, it has more gain than you'd expect from a rock amp, and beyond the 12 o'clock position, it behaves like an amp with an upstream booster.
Do you prefer Californian lead tones or British lead tones? You don't have to compromise on one or the other.
Simply turn the "Tone" knob to smoothly navigate from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and all the points in between, and enjoy both tones.


[Spirit Nano series: Ultra-compact amplifier head inheriting the traditional Kettner sound]
It features the "Spirit Tone Generator," which reproduces the superb sound of vacuum tubes, and "Sagging Control," which adjusts the saturation state of the power amplifier to reproduce the sound of vacuum tubes under load.
The simple controls, consisting of four knobs, allow for intuitive sound shaping, and the analog-focused circuitry provides exceptional responsiveness.
Despite its small size, it boasts an impressive output of up to 50W (4Ω), making it suitable for small-scale live performances. Furthermore, it's ideal for home recording, featuring a headphone output with cabinet emulation for direct connection to PA systems and recording equipment. A reliable little companion for any situation, whether at home, in a live music venue, or in a rehearsal studio.

Condition: No problems with use. Accessories: Box, instruction manual, power adapter. Warranty: 3 months for initial defects only.
