Another cool feature of the TubeMeister 18 Combo is the TSC (Tube Safety Control). This amp-saving device constantly monitors your power tubes and adjusts the bias so you get the best sound possible. It also takes failing power tubes out of the circuit to protect your your amp and lets you see the status of your tubes at a glance.

Killer DI tone right from your amp

The Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister 18 Combo amp features the Red Box DI, making it ideal for silent recording or sending to a live mixer.
