30th Anniversary Tube Meister 36 Head
 This product is no longer available.
The year 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of the quest for the perfect guitar amplifier tone, and Mr. Hughes and Herr Kettner have celebrated this landmark by creating a limited edition TubeMeister series - with a difference: each amp features a complement of Soviet "New Old Stock" EL84 power tubes that were built long before Hughes & Kettner was even born. A dream of a tone-generating machine, this 30th Anniversary Edition still goes from clean to mean and from a roar to a whisper, shaking the planks on stage, tingling spines in the studio, and raising goose bumps in the still of night - but now with an extra dose of punch and attitude!

I've had this amp for a year now and it's an awesome amp. It sounds great and has so many features that I don't think you can get another amp that sounds this great with this many features for the price this amp sells for. 3 channels from shimmering clean to crunch to full blown distortion. The optional H&K 2 button footswitch with LED's (sells for $55) allows you to switch between them effortlessly. Another optional 2 button footswitch lets you turn the effects loop and global digital reverb on and off. The power soak - which is also midi footswitchable (36, 18, 5 and 1 watt) lets you play mid size venues at full 36 watts or your bedroom at 1 watt if you like.

Just bought this head tday. Have a Tubemeiser 18 Head and a Tubemeister 18 Combo 10" speaker. I'm blown away by the difference and improvement over the 18. The EQ's on both channels and volume and gain on all three channels makes it really more versatile then the 18. It's like I just got all new guitars the tone differences. Very Impressed no regrets, it's expensive but still a good step up from the 18. try it and see.

I recently purchased this amp along with a Traynor vertical 212 slant cabinet and I am very happy with it so far. The clean channel stays clean to max gain with a little bit of compression and crunch as the master volume gets closer to max. It's very loud in full power mode, and about twice as loud as my blackstar ht1 with the power soak in 1w mode.. The crunch channel starts to get compressed with gain around 9:00 and really gets a nice crunch around the 12:00 moving farther into overdrive from there. Lower gain settings on the lead channel are similar to high gain on the crunch channel, but with a little bit more grit moving up to super touch sensitive overdrive at the top end. The reverb sound pretty good on all 3 channels, but like it best with it on the crunch an clean channels. The soft case that came with it has good padding and quality zippers. I have a fsm432 mk3 midi controller for it as well which seems pretty easy to use, although I have only used it a couple time so far. Overall I am very happy with this amp and would definitely replace it with another h&k if anything was to happen to it. Probably the same model if it's still available. The NOS tube make it scream more than the original. (Which a friend of mine owns)

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
