Overview of Control
Features and Connectors
1.1 Selecting channels and effect parameters
Use buttons 1 to 4 to select the ATTAX 100™’s four channels, CLEAN,
CRUNCH, LEAD and ULTRA. These buttons correspond to the buttons
on the included footswitch. When the footswitch is connected, buttons
1 to 4 serve display purposes only, and the footswitch switches
channels.
Use knobs 5 to 8 to adjust the effect for the given channel. The FX
MATRIX Autostore function automatically saves the edited effect
settings for every channel. You do not need to store settings separately.
Even if the amp is suddenly switched off or power fails, the FX MATRIX
will recall your settings.
1.2 Instrument inputs, channels and master volume
Connect your guitar to input 9. Please use high-quality shielded cords only.
Use knobs 10 to 21 to shape the sound and determine the volume of
individual channels. You’ll find a detailed description of the channels in
section 2. Knob 22 determines the amp’s overall volume level. Always
turn the MASTER knob all the way down – that is, counterclockwise as
far as it will go - before powering your amp up.
Knobs 10 to 22 work in the same tried-and-true manner as the controls
on a classic amp. These settings are not stored. This means that the
actual position of the knob determines the amp’s sounds.
1.3 Mains switch and mains socket
Use switch 23 to turn the ATTAX 100 on and off. Make a habit of
checking to make sure that the switch is set to the OFF position before
you connect the power cable to a mains power supply. The ATTAX 100
ships with a separate power cord that connects to socket 24. Please
ensure that the mains voltage matches the value indicated on the back
panel of the ATTAX 100™. Get in touch with your Hughes & Kettner
®
dealer immediately if this is not the case or the included mains cord’s
plug does not fit into the wall outlet.
1.4 Speaker out
Use jack or jack pair 25, EXTERNAL SPEAKER or SPEAKERS, to connect
speakers. All speakers are connected in parallel for both the combo and
the head.
ATTAX 100™ COMBO
EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Connect cabinets with 8 ohms minimum
impedance to this jack. The impedance of connected speakers must
never be lower than 8 ohms!
ATTAX 100™ HEAD
SPEAKERS: You can connect two cabinets to the head. The minimum
impedance is 4 ohms; ensure your rig’s impedance never drops below
4 ohms! If you plug cabs into both jacks, each cabinet’s impedance
must be 8 ohms or higher. If you plug a cab into just one jack, its
impedance must be 4 ohms or higher.
1.5 Headphones out
Connect standard stereo headphones to jack 26, HEADPHONES.
Adjust the volume via the MASTER knob. Always plug in a stereo 1/4"
jack when connecting headphones. The headphones output may be
damaged if you insert a mono plug into the jack. The ATTAX 100™
speaker output is deactivated when a plug is inserted into this jack.
1.6 LINE OUT
Use jack 27, LINE OUT, (mono 1/4" jack) to patch out the amp’s signal,
including all effects, to another power amp or a DI box (for example,
the Hughes & Kettner
®
RED BOX
®
).
