Used And Vintage Amps
We just took in an amazing rig that is unlike anything else we have here - we're all very intrigued and excited.  The Hook Wizard head & cab is touted as a revolutionary guitar amp, with features all to its own.  For those that may not know, Hook is a company in the Netherlands that makes super high quality, modern amps that utilize technology to its fullest while still retaining a classic vibe.  
 
This one is in excellent condition, as the previous owner barely used it, and only in a home studio - it has never been gigged with.  It's super clean.  For anyone that likes having a variety of tones, and enjoys creating their own, it's quite the score!  And, these are hard to find here in the U.S. - we found that this is the only one for sale here (when we took it in).  Get the full scoop and specs below.
 
A compact 2 channel tube guitar amplifier with IR speaker simulation and internal speaker load for standalone use, the Wizard is a fully programmable tube guitar amp with motor knobs. It has 32 memory locations in which you can save your favorite sounds and switch between the presets with the rotary encoder or via midi. The speaker simulator comes with 16 cabs. In addition, it’s possible to upload your own favorite speaker impulse responses with the matching computer app (Mac and Windows). This amp gives you the sound and ease of use of a classic tube guitar amp, but with the compactness and multi-functionality of a modeling amp.

The matching speaker cabinet is loaded with WGS speakers, and meets the challenge of being able to handle a variety of sounds.  These are hand made quality cabinets made with the best material and designs for maximum tone quality.  The 1x12” cabinet is loaded with tone; chunky bass response, rich, fat and woody.They have been developed to respond to your nuances as a player, we make cabinets that are alive with resonance, 3D tone  projection and that dance with every note played.

FAQ:
  • Is it possible to use the wizard “stand -alone” without any other equipment?  -  No, there is no internal speaker in this amp.
  • Stand alone in this context means that you could use the amp without a traditional guitar speaker and go directly to a PA or recording system , skipping the guitar cab and microphones.  -  So to hear this amp you need at least some sort of speaker (traditional guitar speaker or Full range Hifi, PA or recording system)  If you have a hifi system at home , you could connect the DI to that system by a XLR to cinch cable.
  • Is there a footswitch for the wizard?  -  There is no special wizard footswitch. You can use any midi footswitch that you like.  It depends on your needs. If you want to switch pedals there are some nice options from Boss. ( EC8 )
  • Can I use the Di out together with a speaker cab?  -   Yes , the DI out is a mirror of the speaker out.
  • What is the impedance of the matching speaker cab?  -  The Matching speaker cab is 8 Ohm.
