Tommy's New Signature Edition AmplifierFrom: KISSOnline Posted: March 19, 2008 Hughes & Kettner proudly announces the launch of the "TOMMY THAYER Signature Edition" DuoTone Head. Hughes & Kettner has collaborated closely with TOMMY THAYER (guitarist with the rock giants KISS), to bring out a signature version of its classic tube amp the DuoTone Head. The release of the TOMMY THAYER Signature Edition DuoTone coincides with the launch of the highly anticipated KISS Alive 35 world tour that kicks off in Melbourne, Australia on March 16th, and extends to sold-out concerts in Europe and the UK throughout May and June this year. This signature version - the "TOMMY THAYER Signature Edition DuoTone" - replaces the current amp and includes very specifically a customized illuminated front plate bearing both Tommy's signature and also his own mask emblem. Also included with the amp is a certificate of authenticity personally signed and numbered by Tommy, and a TOMMY THAYER Signature Duotone poster. In addition, the amp covering is a very special Hughes & Kettner "signature edition tolex" giving it a very unique look, and with an optional 412 cabinet to match! Last but not least, the amp is set up and biased exactly how Tommy likes it – and you will never find out what that is until you play one! Needless to say, the gut-wrenching tone you would expect is all there, and much, much more! There is one more thing. Tommy has very kindly decided to donate all his royalties earned from sales of the amp to The Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. This is a wonderful gesture from Tommy, which we are very proud and happy to carry out on his behalf. (Children's Hospital Los Angeles was founded in 1901 and has been treating the most seriously ill and injured children in the Greater Los Angeles area for more than a century. It is acknowledged throughout the United States and around the world for its leadership in pediatric and adolescent health care). The TOMMY THAYER Signature Edition Duotone is launched on the Hughes & Kettner booth in Halle 4.2 during the Frankfurt Messe, and will then be available from selected stores around the world from May 2008 onwards. For further details of this and all our products, please visit our booth during the Frankfurt Messe, or go on line to www.hughes-and-kettner.com for further information. |
