The new guitar amp released by Mackie is one of the very interesting products released lately. The Mackie Hotwire VT12 Guitar Amp is fully customizable from the preamp circuit, the mode selector allows us to switch between 12 modes that cover American, British, blues, jazz and many more amps, to the output power, that can convert the amp into a Class A or a Class AB selecting the 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, 60 or 120-watts output, and you can even store your configurations in any of the user presets slots.
The features of the Mackie Hotwire VT12 Guitar Amp are 120 power output, 4 channels (clean, crunch, overdrive and lead), 12 different wiring circuit modes, built-in effects in 3 categories (modulation: chorus, flanger, tremolo, …; delays and reverbs) with independent controls, 96 user presets, 12″ custom-voiced neodymium speaker (that reduces considerably the weight), USA and UK speaker voices and output power selector, 3-band EQ, drive, presence, volume and master volume controls and USB connection. This output allows you to record directly from the amp with a cabinet simulated signal or to manage your own presets.
This Mackie amp can be controlled with PB1 pedal board or PB4 4-way switch. The Mackie Hotwire VT12 Guitar Amp will be available on April and its price will be $1,500.
