About Hughes & Kettner Red Box 5

Under the umbrella of top-tier guitar equipment, the Red Box 5 Guitar Cabinet Simulator stands as the latest iteration of the acclaimed speaker simulation technology. This advanced device offers an array of new filtering options, allowing for customization between small and large housings, modern and vintage speakers, as well as loose and tight cabinet responses.

The Red Box 5 transcends the typical sound of a mic'ed cabinet, instead, it emulates the authentic sound of the cabinet itself. This unique feature delivers a clear, direct sound that has won the hearts of seasoned PA techs and professional studio engineers alike.

The secret to the exceptional sound quality of many of today's leading guitar tracks lies in the Red Box 5. Often, these tracks are double-tracked with a microphone and a Red Box, or the pure Red Box signal is processed through microphone- and room-emulating software plugins. This technique creates a harmonious blend of ambient sound and ultra-direct attack, making the Red Box 5 Guitar Cabinet Simulator an indispensable tool in the realm of professional audio equipment.

Hughes & Kettner Red Box 5 Features

  • Latest version of the award-winning Red Box Guitar Cabinet Simulator
  • Offers new filtering options for customized sound profiles
  • Emulates the authentic sound of a guitar cabinet, not a mic'ed version
  • Preferred by seasoned PA techs and professional studio engineers
  • Used in double-tracking for superior sound quality in top guitar tracks
  • Compatible with microphone- and room-emulating software plugins for enhanced sound mixing
