User manual HUGHES & KETTNER ATTAX

[. . . ] The HUGHES & KETTNER "SOFT CLICK" circuitry delivers the soft clip of a vintage tube amp at high volumes, except that you don't have to alienate your neighbors to get that warm tone. It "feels" like a vintage amp; the preamp's dynamics and response are true to classic tube performance criteria. ATTAX CRUNCH - THE VINTAGE TUBE CHANNEL The ATTAX CRUNCH tube channel covers the tonal spectrum from clean to overdrive. The emphasis on attack response in this channel enables you to control overdrive levels with your guitar's volume pot. At higher gain settings, your tone is carried by lengthy sustain ideal for a singing blues tone with superior dynamic punch. AT-TAX LEAD - HOT-RODDED HEAVY TUBE OVERDRIVE The LEAD channel's extreme gain reserves deliver the distinct performance characteristics of modified tube amps: fat, searing tube overdrive at any volume, ideal for modern lead playing and heavy-duty power chord chunk. v SELECTING THE THREE CHANNELS: CLEAN / CRUNCH / LEAD Channel switching is executed via the switch on the FRONT PANEL or the included STAGEBOARD. [. . . ] The voicing section follows the tube section in the amp's circuitry. v SETTING VOICING PARAMETERS Dial in the standard setting (BASS, MID, TREBLE in the 12 o'clock position), and then modify the settings to suit your requirements. In addition to the tree channel's respective VOLUME and/or GAIN controls, the CRUNCH and LEAD channels each incorporate a MASTER control (CRUNCH MASTER / LEADMASTER). The overall output of the ATTAX is defined via the STEREO MASTER VOLUME knob (15). These features allow for an optimum volume balance between the three channels, an essential feature for gigs. CRUNCHMASTER Regulates the CRUNCH channel's volume in relation to the CLEAN and LEAD channel's respective volumes. CRUNCH / LEAD SELECTOR SWITCH Activates either the ATTAX's CRUNCH or LEAD channel. page 5 13. LEADMASTER Regulates the LEAD channel's volume in relation to CLEAN and CRUNCH channels' respective volumes. FX-MIX The FX MIX pot regulates the original signal's volume and its relationship to that of the processed signal, i. the one sent from the effects device connected to the STEREO EFFECTS LOOP. NOTE: If no signal procession is connected to the STEREO LOOP, then the FX-MIX pot can be used as a master volume. The FX-MIX has no influence on overall ATTAX output when it is set to DRY (refer to the "Activating a Second MASTER VOLUME" paragraph on the following page ). 15. MASTER VOL The ATTAX's overall output is defined via the MASTER VOLUME knob. The PHONES output jack delivers a speaker-simulated signal, so the ATTAX sounds similar to your stage setup at headphone volumes. MAINS The included Euro-norm mains cable is connected to this socket. Ensure the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage (refer to the safety guidelines). 19. Ensure replacement fuses' specifications are identical to the original. RECORDING OUT JACKS The RECORDING OUT jacks deliver a frequency-corrected STEREO SIGNAL, comparable to a that of a miked 4 x 12" cabinet, ideal for home recording, studio, and DI-to-mixer applications. 21. Connect the ATTAX'S LOOP RETURN to the device's OUTPUT jack. STEREO FX LOOP The parallel STEREO EFFECTS LOOP's dry/wet mix is regulated via the FX MIX pot (14). The effects signal can be activated via the STAGEBOARD or MIDI messages. Connect the ATTAX's LOOP SEND jack to the device's INPUT, and the ATTAX's LOOP LEFT/RIGHT RETURN jacks to the device's LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUT jacks. Use the ATTAX STEREO LOOP'S RIGHT RETURN jack for mono signal processors.
