Product Description

The Spirit Tone Generator, an award-winning technology from Hughes & Kettner, is now available in a powerful & compact version. Introducing the Spirit Nano Head! The Spirit Nano Head is one of three models. The single-channel "Spirit of Vintage" clean, blues and crunch sounds deliver that authentic Hughes & Kettner tone. The Spirit of Vintage is your go-to sidekick for your living room, home studio, rehearsal space and, as a backup, on stage.

This amp’s astonishing power output belies its miniature format. Pumping out up to 50 watts at 4 ohms, it delivers plenty of juice to drive even a 4×12″ cab. Alongside Gain, Tone and Master knobs, the Nano Head offers a unique Sagging control that dials in delectable power amp saturation.

Turning the dials ever so slightly is all it takes to experience the authentic feel and responsiveness of a power amp pushed to its sweet spot – with zero latency and no compromises. Featuring a Headphones Out, a RedBox and an Aux-In for jamming along with tracks.

Powerful Sound in an Ultra-Compact Format

A newly designed circuit layout centered on the unique German-made Spirit Tone Generator delivers the most sought-after metal sounds of every era. Anything goes, from classic to modern, from slicing lead sounds to bruising rhythm tone for bludgeoning riffs. And this little shredder’s delight is all analog, authentic, latency-free and supernaturally responsive to your touch.

Shoehorned into a handy ultra-compact format, every Spirit Nano is a pocket-sized amp that sounds huge. Delivering up to 50 watts at 4 ohms, it packs a punch powerful enough for a 4×12″ cab!

Easy Handling, Multiple Benefits

The Gain, Tone, Master and Sagging controls provide all the tools you need to quickly and easily dial in sounds to delight novices and professionals alike.

With a RedBox integrated into the Headphones Out circuit, it’s perfect for practicing without a speaker and, with the proper interface, also a great recording tool. And your favorite software speaker simulations are going to love the pure signal provided by its Line Out.

Sagging Control

The sagging control gives players total control over power amp sagging – that is, the way the output stage behaves when pushed hard. This knob puts touch-sensitive, musical response and the tone-shaping possibilities of vintage tube amps at players’ fingertips.

A nudge of the Sagging knob dials in the legendary tones of cranked tube amps – anything goes from hair-trigger response and bone-dry tone to powerful compression and juicy, beefy sound.

Chris Lewis16th Dec 2021

As mentioned in the seller review, the first one I received was faulty, however the second is a great little piece of kit worthy of the name Hughes and Kettner. It is very simple and doesn't boast many features, however the ability to adjust the sag resistance is an interesting idea and does contribute to the sound palette. The sound is certainly vintage and makes this a good little backup amp for anyone playing late 60's early 70's rock. Don't be fooled by the size, the volume only needs to be tweaked up a tiny amount to ensure you won't be on your neighbour's Christmas card list! I love it.

This little amp is plugged into a Marshall 2X12 and has more than enough volume to annoy the neighbours. But I got it for low volume practice and use it as a clean pedal platform - sounds great with a Marshall Drive Master and some verb, delay and vibe in the front.
