Nicolas Hassel, Hughes & Kettner Product Manager, said: “With era 1, we wanted to create an amplifier that takes you closer to the acoustic instrument than ever before – and it looks like we’ve done exactly that! We’re thrilled that era 1 has been recognized by the industry as being the best acoustic amplifier there is to offer, and we know from the all feedback we’ve had from players around the world too that they agree. The era project with Michael Eisenmann has been a huge success so far, and trust me when I say there’s far more to get excited about coming in the not-too-distant future!”
This is the second Hughes & Kettner MIPA success in the past three years by the way! The mammoth TriAmp Mark 3 electric guitar amp was named Best Guitar Amplifier at the 2015 ceremony.
