Description

A compact 2 channel tube guitar amplifier with IR speaker simulation and internal speaker load for standalone use. The wizard is a fully programmable tube guitar amp with motor knobs. It has 32 memory locations in which you can save your favorite sounds and switch between the presets with the rotary encoder or via midi. The speaker simulator comes with my favorite 16 cabs. In addition, it’s possible to upload your own favorite speaker impuls responses with the matching computer app (Mac and Windows). This amp gives you the sound and ease of use of a classic tube guitar amp, but with the compactness and multi-functionality of a modeling amp.

Features and functionality

  • The Hook Wizard offers MIDI programming, but lacks the ability to save specific knob positions, a feature more common in digital amps.

    Source
  • The Egnator Rebel 30's tube mix feature is reported as having minimal impact on tone, despite its inclusion as a selling point.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Hook Wizard is considered a higher-end option compared to the Hughes and Kettner Grandmeister Deluxe for those looking for programmable tube amps.

    Source
  • The Hughes and Kettner Access preamp is noted for use with vintage plexi poweramps, highlighting a preference due to perceived lack of dynamics and bottom end in the original poweramp.

Use cases and applications

  • Owners suggest focusing on desired tones and footswitch flexibility when choosing a programmable tube amp, rather than solely on programmability.

    Source
