There's no ground-lift switch, which would have been the hundreds and thousands on top of an already well-iced cake, but it's not a major inconvenience. The Red Box speaker emulator offers a balanced output for easy connection to PA or recording equipment. The significance of that is immense because you can seamlessly go from a fat clean sound using all 36 watts for maximum headroom, through a slightly compressed crunch tone on 18 watts, to a fully saturated lead sound with the master cranked up on five watts, or any combination. All of the TubeMeister 36's switched functions can be operated via MIDI, including the power soak. However, the most significant upgrade over the TM18 is the MIDI-in socket. In addition, a single speaker outlet and a pair of footswitch jacks operate channel-switching, reverb and loop functions. There's also a switchable series effects loop, digital reverb, and Hughes & Kettner's clever TSC (Tube Safety Control), which constantly monitors and micro-adjusts bias to ensure the amp is running at peak efficiency. This disconnects the speaker but leaves the head's built-in Red Box speaker emulator on for silent recording. There are two three-band EQs - one for the clean channel, the other shared by crunch and lead.Īround the back, you'll find a series of pushbutton switches for the TubeMeister's built-in attenuator that progressively reduce output power from 36 watts down to 18, five, or one watt, with a mute switch. Further building upon the TubeMeister 18's features, the 36-watt version offers three channels for clean, crunch and lead, each with separate gain and master volume controls.
