Since purchasing the Black Spirit 200 in 2019, I’ve relied on it for teaching thanks to its Spirit Tone Generator and integrated Red Box, while also expanding my H&K setup with the GrandMeister Deluxe 40 and TM212 for live shows, the Black Spirit 200 Floor for versatile cruise ship performances, and the Triamp MKIII with pedalboard switching in the studio. This hybrid rig blends cutting-edge technology with vintage tube tone, giving me compact reliability on stage and endless possibilities for sound research.
