As per title, H&K Switchblade and footswitch for sale or trade.
Recently serviced, full working order, great condition, upgraded footswitch to 7pin midi.

Incredibly versatile and great giggin amp - hugely diverse sounds from spanking cleans to saturated gain monster and all in between. Thomas Blug has done some cracking demos.

Dimensions750 x 286 x 258 mm
Weight17,6 kg/40 lbs

Reverb and delay in particular are very good, easily programmable and varied - the delay has also got tap tempo from the footswitch.
The effects loop can run in series/parallel/floor level/line level and can be programmed as such.

I bought because I could go from playing very clean Fender cleans with a touch of reverb, kick one button and change to a Marshall crunch with some delay (then tap-tempo controlled), kick another button to add some chorus for rhythm sounds and maybe a little more gain, kick another button engage the effects loop in parallel with a tuner in and get a crystal clear 10db volume boost for lead sounds with a different delay preset and no tone change whatsoever. There are no Michael Flatley Riverdance impressions from jumping on a load of different pedals and they're very good, usable tones.

Just surplus to requirements now.
Interested in anything potentially but cash is king - open to fretboard members for bargain price of £350 collected.

I won't ship it but I could travel reasonable distance from S. Wales. Any questions then ask.

    That's the one. Thanks for that. Great amp, I'm just going back to clean amp and fuzz pedal setup.

    It's a massive amount of amp for the money. Don't be put off by the MIDI either, it's very simple - you just select which bank you want on the footswitch (stomp on it), set the amp up like you would a normal amp - tweak the eq, volume, set your effects loop if required, add onboard effects to taste then push and hold the store button - thats it.

    This is silly cheap for a German built amp of this quality. Offers? Could trade up or down.

    If your buyer wants the official matching footswitch let me know as I just picked one up but it doesn't do what I want.

    Sorry to hijack,but if there's no takers, I'd be interested in it as a spare.
