What is the difference between the Hellhound and the Kingsnake?
The Kingsnake is based on the Hellhound, but with significant improvements in construction and tone. The Kingsnake improvements are: – Jensen Neo 100 speaker, instead of the All-Tone 1250. The Neo 100 is higher power, louder and lighter weight The result is more clean headroom, tighter low end and smoother overdrive at medium to high volume. – Reduced weight cabinet with larger interior. The new cabinet is 5/8″ taller, uses a battenless (no wood strips) speaker baffle mount, and no removable front speaker grill. The cabinet is not only lighter, but has a larger interior space which produces a deeper and fuller tone. – Modified pre-amp gain structure. The Kingsnake has less pre-amp gain in the low frequencies. This means the low notes distort less. This contributes to more clean headroom, tighter low end and smoother overdrive at medium to high volume. – 20-60 watt switch, instead of 40-60. The 20 watt setting produces a more noticeable volume drop, allowing power amp overdrive at lower
