Re: Info on Hughes & Kettner Replex


     Jeff,

     When I purchased the Line 6 DL-4, I found myself not satisfied with 
the sounds.  As I was
reading up on Harmony Central about the DL-4, I found several mentions of 
the Replex.  People
seemed very enthusiastic about it so I continued my research.  Eventually 
I bought one (and sold
the DL-4).  I too am now very enthusiastic about it.

     Basically, it's a digital reverb and delay device with a tube in the 
circuitry to warm up the
sound.  Mono in, mono out.  The reverb sounds great at all but the maximum 
setting where it starts
to get a bit digital sounding.  Then there is a single tap delay and a 
double tap delay.  Several
people on H-C complained about the complexity of the front panel knobs 
when trying to mess with
the double tap delay.  Really there's nothing to it, just a lot of options 
for control.  You can
also slightly overdrive the tube to get a soft distortion sound though 
that's not what it's there
for.

     Ever since I got this little box, I can't play my acoustic unplugged 
anymore.  It warms up
the sound of the guitar so much that I always keep it on.  Even without 
any reverb or delay it
still makes the guitar sound better.

     They go for $450 new, I picked mine up for $325.  Money very well 
spent.

Anyone have any experience with the Hughes & Kettner Replex they would like
to share?
