Blue Note Combo

I received the amplifier on Friday and am absolutely thrilled. Even without any external units, I can generate all the sounds I need—and with incredible quality!

Such a natural sound—(almost) free of digital bells and whistles—is exactly what I was looking for.

Many thanks!!!!!

I felt compelled to let you know just how satisfied I am with my “König Blue Note Combo.”I have been playing guitar for about 45 years now and have played through all kinds of combo amps during that time (e.g., Mesa Boogie, Roland, Engl).

For the past six months, I have been playing my Gibson ES-335 primarily through the “König Blue Note Combo” in a wide variety of playing situations. I am thrilled and completely satisfied across the board. Even at low volumes, any style of rhythm guitar sounds incredibly transparent, warm, crisp, and clearly defined. For any type of blues or rock solo, the tone is beautifully creamy, and you can achieve virtually any level of overdrive. To my ears, the Blue Note sounds more “American” than any US-made combo. Best of all are the low weight and the built-in tilt-back mechanism—making it a dream to handle. Top-notch quality—Made in Germany.

Now that the amplifier has arrived safely and I’ve had a chance to try it out over the weekend, I would like to sincerely thank you for the ultimately trouble-free transaction. So far, I haven’t found anything to complain about, and I am thrilled with the amp.

I’ve really taken to it already! For me, it’s the best thing in a long time. A very well-thought-out concept!

I love the amp; the clean settings perfectly bring out the natural characteristics of the guitars. My Gretsch sounds like a Gretsch, the Rickenbacker sounds like a Rickenbacker—and the same goes for my vintage Gibson ES-175, my Telecaster, and so on. I put it to the test last Wednesday at our gig in Siegsdorf, and it passed with flying colors!

I’ve had the Blue Note Top for about three weeks now, and I simply felt compelled to send you some feedback. The amp is a dream! As a jazz/fusion guitarist, I couldn’t wish for anything better right now! The flexibility of the two channels leaves nothing to be desired, either. Thanks for that!

I’ve played five live gigs with the amp so far and am more than happy with its handling and sound.

I really appreciate the low weight—especially considering the Super Jensen Alnico speaker, which delivers a lovely, smooth overdrive tone—and the fact that I can tilt the amp back without needing an extra stand. Channel 1 produces a beautiful clean tone with both my Les Paul and my Strat. Since my Strat doesn’t have particularly high-output pickups, the switchable booster is a really handy feature.

……Small, light… fantastic. The combo combines superior tone development with a strong, individual character with optimal transportability. Sonic variability stands at the forefront. This lightweight also achieves a respectable sonic presence. The finishing also scores major points. Only the footswitch (relatively short cable) casts a small shadow in the overall impression. Price and performance maintain an entirely good balance. This also applies to the head unit, which weighs in at a sensational 5.7 kilograms

The König Blue Note Top first grabs attention with its light weight – only 5.7 KG. The amp offers a wide range from Classic Clean Sound up to Blues-rock and hard rock sounds. However, it’s not quite as at home with screaming metal sounds. That’s at least my personal impression. The Clean channel, coupled with a Telecaster for a classic Country-Twang sound, made a particularly strong impression. Even with light distortion, through the Clean channel, rhythm guitar chords stay clear, and don’t get mushy.

The König Blue Note is a small, super-lightweight and extremely flexible all-tube combo, Made in Germany, which can be had for a truly fair price. This combo offers an enormous breadth of sounds which can satisfy more than just jazzers and blues musicians. Rockers and fusion guitarists also find what they’re looking for, making this featherweight, robust dwarf an attractive sparring partner for rehearsal and stage. Even at indoor volume levels, the amp sounds amazingly robust, which also makes it a first-class practice amplifier.

The amp arrived today, and I have to admit that it’s the best I’ve ever laid hands on.
Hearty congratulations –
I’ll be recommending it.

Thank you again.
I’m blown away.

I’ve been playing the combo for more than a year and am impressed time and again with its incomparable tone. The clean channel has enough headroom to play mid-sized open-air stages. I’m consistently fascinated by its versatility. It’s your own fault if you don’t test it yourself! It delivers what others can only promise.

I’ve already tested it extensively. Addiction is a genuine risk!
A few first impressions, in direct comparison to a Fender Blues Deluxe:
PLUS

• Two fully independent channels with very effective tone controls
• Beautiful, precise, warm and open sound
• Harmonious overdrive behaviour
• Sensitive response
• Weight
• Finishing
• Fold-out amp stand

MINUS

• Digital reverb sounds a bit artificial
