WHEN IT COMES to advancements in guitar technology, the majority of the industry’s most exciting developments over the last few decades have taken place in the amplifier market. One of the more fascinating trends is how small amplifiers have decreased in size while also expanding their tonal versatility and performance. Unlike most early mini amps, which provided adequate volume output and decent but limited and sometimes generic tones, today’s diminutive microamps can deliver sounds and volume levels comparable to the big boys.
The Hughes & Kettner Spirit Nano Series amps are a great example of just how far micro amp technology has come in recent times. Hughes & Kettner offers three different flavors of Spirit Nano amps — Vintage, Rock, and Metal — each sharing similar designs and features but delivering entirely different sonic personalities. The Spirit Nano Series amps are small and light enough to stash in a guitar case accessory pocket or airliner carry-on bag, but they are truly gig-worthy amps that can also be used for practice (with headphones) and direct recording.
FEATURES The secret behind the micro dimensions of Hughes & Kettner Spirit Nano Series is the company’s Spirit Tone Generator, described as “a novel bionic design (that) replicate(s) the analog processes of a tube circuit.” This technology is not solid-state or digital, but genuinely analog. Somehow the engineers at Hughes & Kettner figured out how to rebuild analog technology and make it better, smaller, cheaper. Each model delivers 25-watts of output at 8 ohms or up to 50 watts with a 4-ohm speaker cabinet.

Kittie - Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara Mcleod discuss the canadian metal powerhouse's unexpected rebirth â by fire!
Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara McLeod explain that making new music was ânot on their bingo cardâ when the band regrouped in 2022 for a few festival appearances, preferring to think of the sets as more of a âfinal lapâ than a new beginning. But drilling into old favorites â whether the nu-flavored teenage slams of 1999âs Spit or the more venomously groove-thrashed tunes of their late-â00s period â revealed that despite not having raged together in years, there was something undeniably special about Kittieâs musical connection. âPlaying with these girls is like putting on an old pair of pants,â Lander says. âItâs very comfortable â and it looks good too.â
McKinley James - Why all you really need is a guitar, a drummer and some serious low-end six-string skills
Nashville-based blues rocker McKinley James came flying out of the gate in 2022 with his Dan Auerbachproduced EP, Still Standing By. His momentum screeched to a halt, however, when his keyboardist split, leaving only him and his drummer, Jason Smay (who also happens to be his father). âFor a moment, I was like, âWhat are we going to do?â James says. âBut then I thought, âWell, other bands have succeeded as a duo. Maybe we can, too.â
