Koch Amps

Im just wondering if any of you have heard of these amps? Particularly the "Power Tone" ???

Insomnium uses these amps as well as 5150's and I really like their tone. Any info would be awesome.

Thanks!

ofcourse I have

good amps, great tone, but I wouldn't recommend them for metal...

don't get me wrong, they can get mean, but it's not a metal oriented amp, it suits any style well, but for metal there's better stuff for the money. (they must be priceless over there...) I've played several because the guy that sells Koch is in a bigger town near to me, it's good stuff. Would perfectly for a tone freak rock-guitarist.

Do they have as good as a clean tone as i hear?

Insomnium has a pretty heavy sound and they use the Powertone and Multitone.

they've got amazing clean tone, yeah, that's true. kinda like a H&K Triamp or Engl Savage, nice and warm, though the Koch is more 'transparent'

they can get heavy, though for brutallness I'de pick another amp, for cleans, I'de like to get a Koch, but hey I'm no rich man.

I agree with you.

A friend had one and it was a very good amp except for "good" metal. It sounded very clean and the details were very good too. The one i lyed with was something similar to the TSL 1oo in chjannels and other parametres. The sounding was cleaner but it wasn´t as beast as i wanted to.
