User manual HUGHES & KETTNER ATTAX

[. . . ] All three channels and the effects loop can be called via MIDI program change messages. We hope you have fun and enjoy success with your ATTAX! THE SOLID STATE CLEAN CHANNEL This channel utilizes innovative solid state circuitry that is capable of producing warm, dynamic vintage tones, as well as contemporary, hi-fi clean sounds. 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. [. . . ] 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. DRY = original signal only, WET = processed signal only. You can dial in any signal blend between these two extreme settings. 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. MAIN SWITCH: AC mains power switch 18. 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. FUSE Use a screwdriver to unlock and unscrew the FUSE holder. Ensure replacement fuses' specifications are identical to the original. The ATTAX is factory-set to the European norm of 230 V. 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. MONO FX LOOP Serial signal path for external effects processors. Connect the ATTAX'S LOOP RETURN to the device's OUTPUT jack. The output signal's dry/wet mix is regulated at the processor. 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.
