4.0 OPERATING THE CLUB REVERB
4.1 SELECTING CHANNELS
Use the CHANNEL SELECT switch or an external footswitch
to change channels. We recommend a Hughes & Kettner
footswitch FS-1.
4.2 THE CLUB REVERB AND SIGNAL PROCESSORS
The effects loop on the CLUB REVERB is a serial effects loop,
meaning that the entire preamp signal is routed to the FX
device and processed there.
TO CONNECT A SIGNAL PROCESSOR:
- Connect the processor‘s INPUT to the CLUB REVERB LINE
OUT jack and the processor‘s OUTPUT to the LINE IN jack.
- To avoid noise, signal degradation, and interrupted signals,
only use high-quality patch cables.
- Make sure the processor is not distorting the signal. Check the
processor's gain LEDs (if it is equipped with this type of
display) and use the input and output controls to dial in a
suitable level.
- Distortion devices are not designed for use in an FX loop.
As a rule of thumb, any kind of device that compresses the
signal should be connected first in the signal chain. Depending
on the type of effect you want to achieve, you may want to
connect your compressor directly between the instrument and
the amp's input.
- If you are using several processors or stomp boxes, ensure you
connect them in the proper order. For the sake of the best
sound, try changing the order to determine which
arrangement yields the best results.
4.3 THE CLUB REVERB AND MIXING CONSOLES
If you want to feed the CLUB REVERB's signal to a mixing
console, we recommend you route it through a Hughes &
Kettner RED BOX PRO. Patch the signal from the LINE OUT
jack, as this signal path's level is not influenced by the MASTER
setting. The RED BOX PRO balances the signal and simulates a
speaker cabinet.
5.0 SERVICE AND PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
The CLUB REVERB does not require service of any type.
However, there are a few precautions you should heed to
ensure your amp lasts for many years.
