HLH 100 Series
100 Watt Tube Amplification

Professional Guitar Amplification

A breakthrough in guitar amp technology, the HLH100 System from 3RD POWER sets the standard for medium to high-gain guitar applications. Made in the USA, the all-tube HD100 amp features select components, PTP construction and foot-switchable rhythm and lead volume. Incredible tone boldly flows from each HLH312 speaker cabinet by way of (3) Celestion® Vintage 30 speakers eliminates the "beaming" and comb-filtering associated with typical rectangular speaker cabinets. The system is designed to deliver "finished" guitar tone for live performance and studio recording applications.

Innovations in Tone
The HLH HD100 head features our proprietary DirecDRIV™ tube preamp section that will bring a smile to the face of even the most discerning guitar professional. Every nuance of your style, tone and attitude will come through unlike anything you've heard. An innovative mid voicing switch provides you with your choice: SMOOTH (the classic tone stack of a certain '68 era amplifier and BOLD (a new design enhancement that gives your guitar a more lyrical quality - a must for today's innovative guitarists).

Innovations in Design
By eliminating the "beaming" and comb-filtering of a typical cabinet, the HLH 312 cabinet provides an addictive point-source quality. When stacking three (3) 312 cabinets together, you can attain a high-quality *WET/DRY/WET sound in the same space as two conventional cabinets. Walk around the entire performance area and experience your sound like you've never heard before: Gone are the comb-filtering lobes that muddy your sound. Gone is the harsh "beam" of sound associated with typical rectangular cabinets - a constant source of complaint often resulting in the infamous request to "turn down."

Sounds like hype? You owe it to yourself to experience the HLH 100 Series first hand and see what all the fuss is about.

NOTE: All audio clips and soundtracks on this site were performed and recorded by Jamie Scott using the HLH HD100. The system was miked with an SM57 plugged straight into a basic Pro Tools M-BOX system without any high-end mic pre's. No plug-in EQ's or compressors were added. What you are hearing is "fader up" guitar tone. Special thanks go out to TSI Distributing for the G-LAB "Wowee-Wah" pedal used on the solo.

* WET/DRY/WET operation requires an outboard effects device and a stereo power amp driving the outside cabinets. Please refer to setup diagram.
