Hughes & Kettner Triamp - Crunch preset

Verified · 85/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Hughes & Kettner TriAmp is one of the most complex production tube heads ever made, offering three fully independent amplifier channels — clean, crunch, and lead — each with its own voicing, gain stack, and EQ. Its innovative switching matrix allows any channel to use either the EL34 or 6L6 power section, effectively giving six distinct tonal flavors. The TriAmp became a studio and touring standard for players who needed versatility without rack systems.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
