CHOPTONES HK STSM - TH-U EXPANSION
HK STSM is the TH-U expansion library, created by Choptones, seeking to recreate the sound of an authentic Hughes & Kettner Statesman Dual EL34* head.
The original amp features two channels, each with a selectable mode to change the texture: clean channel has a "twang" switch for a brighter tone and the overdrive channel has an onboard gain/midrange boost for more punch. All these textures are available in the library.
The HK STSM library contains 80 rigs, captured using the following gear*:
