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. 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 character-
istics of modified tube amps: fat, searing tube overdrive at any volume, ideal for
modern lead playing and heavy-duty power chord chunk.
