……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.Jürgen Neudeck
Blue Note Combo
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!

- 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
