    Tommy Thayer New Signature Edition Amplifier

    Gut wrenching tone? He may be a nice guy and all, but who is the demographic for this thing? KISS fans don't want it. It has his same on it, and Ace's makeup icon. Cool. not.





    TOMMY'S NEW SIGNATURE EDITION AMPLIFIER!

    Hughes & Kettner proudly announces the launch of the "Tommy Thayer Signature Edition" DuoTone Head.

    Hughes & Kettner has collaborated closely with Tommy Thayer (guitarist with the rock giants KISS), to bring out a signature version of its classic tube amp the DuoTone Head.

    The release of the Tommy Thayer Signature Edition DuoTone coincides with the launch of the highly anticipated KISS Alive 35 world tour that kicks off in Melbourne, Australia on March 16th, and extends to sold-out concerts in Europe and the UK throughout May and June this year.

    This signature version - the "Tommy Thayer Signature Edition DuoTone" - replaces the current amp and includes very specifically a customized illuminated front plate bearing both Tommy's signature and also his own mask emblem.

    Also included with the amp is a certificate of authenticity personally signed and numbered by Tommy, and a Tommy Thayer Signature Duotone poster.

    In addition, the amp covering is a very special Hughes & Kettner "signature edition tolex" giving it a very unique look, and with an optional 412 cabinet to match!

    Last but not least, the amp is set up and biased exactly how Tommy likes it – and you will never find out what that is until you play one! Needless to say, the gut-wrenching tone you would expect is all there, and much, much more!

    There is one more thing.

    Tommy has very kindly decided to donate all his royalties earned from sales of the amp to The Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. This is a wonderful gesture from Tommy, which we are very proud and happy to carry out on his behalf.

    (Children's Hospital Los Angeles was founded in 1901 and has been treating the most seriously ill and injured children in the Greater Los Angeles area for more than a century. It is acknowledged throughout the United States and around the world for its leadership in pediatric and adolescent health care).

    The Tommy Thayer Signature Edition Duotone is launched on the Hughes & Kettner booth in Halle 4.2 during the Frankfurt Messe, and will then be available from selected stores around the world from May 2008 onwards.

    For further details of this and all our products, please visit our booth during the Frankfurt Messe, or go on line to www.hughes-and-kettner.com for further information.

    Well okay the guy is an Ace scab, but to donate all the royalties to a childrens hospital is a real nice thing to do. Thumbs up tp Tommy, but I still prefer Ace in the line up.

          I agree, Mr. VP....classy move indeed...like Franksters said, probably won't be a HUGE donation,
          but it's the thought that counts, right?

          Let's recall, Tommy's the guy who was hired to help Ace RELEARN all his solos for the first reunion tour...
          How could Ace NOT give that guy his blessing?

            KISS has shot their wad with overmerchandizing. I bet Ace is just laughing at this shit.

            I prefer non sell out bands who just play regular Marshalls.

            No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

              The guy looks ridiculous in Ace's makeup.
              The same can be said with Eric Singer.

              Gene & Paul have lost the plot decades ago, between the 35 farewells & replacing of key members (not to mention ripping off said key members, because they would not have raked in the money they did without reuniting with Ace & Peter Criss).

              Ace is an icon, and his vibrato pretty much defined 70's hard rock.
              You can't throw makeup on the guy from 80's nobodies, Black 'n blue, and call him anything but a pale imitation.

              Fuck Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley for exhuming Kiss over & over.
              How much money does one band need?

                  I dont know why I mention this,
                  but Kiss Symphony.

                  Kiss with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra,
                  one of the finest in the world.

                  One Set of Raw Guitars, one with orchestra.
                  Original lineup except for Tommy in place of
                  ACE.

                  Its reallly good except I get pissed off watching
                  knowing its not ACE....

                  But if you are a TT fan, great DVD....
                  The orchestra are brilliant, even got kiss makeup on..
                  Full stage show with a flying Gene and pyro's..
                  All the hits...
                  A great concert DVD if you can handle TT instead of ACE.
                  BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
                  Love ya Mary Frances!

                    That's what's hard for me. Great dvd, but fuck, I don't want to look at Tommy with 3/4 of the original band.

                      Hughes and Kettner....I'd rather play a Peavey, and I fuckin' hate Peaveys.

                      Who the fuck is this guy to get a signature amp? Last time I looked at the Holy Grail of tone list his name wasn't on it. The whole "signature" thing is a bunch of bullshit anyway. I mean really, unless someone has some major tricked out shit, then why buy a signature anything? 99% of the time the "tone gurus" used standard issue shit.

                        Wjole biz just seems odd...mostly because Thayer is basically known for playing someone else's licks...does Thayer have such a great sound that it warrants a signature amp?

                          This amp is as relevant as a Steve Savicki signature "Light Sabre".......

                            What is wrong is he is in Ace Frehley makup selling a Tommy Thayer amp. I don't have a problem with the guy representing the spaceman character on stage if it's cool with Ace but don't be promoting your shit in Ace's makeup and using his tradmark face makeup design on a signature amp that is not his! Pure bullshit!

                            Tommy. Invent your own makeup if you are going to be doing this sort of thing.
