- Make certain your amp's ventilation ducts are not blocked or
covered. Proper cooling will prolong the life of your amp
(rear panel amp chassis).
- Avoid mechanical shocks and exposure to extreme heat, dust
and especially moisture.
- When connecting peripheral devices, always pay close
attention to their specifications. Never connect devices with
high output signal levels (e.g. power amps) to your amp's
input.
- Ensure you have the correct AC power rating available before
you plug in the amp. If in doubt, ask the venue's sound
technician or the custodian of the building you are rehearsing
in.
- Refrain from do-it-yourself repairs! Have a qualified service
technician replace internal fuses.
With the unit off and unplugged, use a soft damp cloth to clean
the exterior surface of the CLUB REVERB.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 The CLUB REVERB will not switch on:
- The amp is not getting any AC power. Check the mains cable
to see if it is connected properly.
- The mains fuse is defective. Replace the fuse with another
identical fuse. If this fuse also trips, consult your Hughes &
Kettner dealer.
6.2 The CLUB REVERB is connected properly, but no
sound is audible.
- One or several GAIN and MASTER controls may be turned all
the way down. Dial in a higher setting.
- Never overlook the possibility that the guitar cable may be
damaged. Try another one.
- A short circuit in the speaker signal chain may have tripped
an internal fuse. Make sure none of the connections are shor-
ted out and have a qualified service technician replace the
fuse (identical specifications are a must).
6.3 The footswitch does not switch channels:
- The footswitch is not connected to the CLUB REVERB. Plug it
into the appropriate jack.
- Check whether your footswitch is of the correct type. We
recommend a Hughes & Kettner FS-1.
6.4 When accessed, the LINE OUT/LINE IN jacks
cause annoying hum.
- An electrical or magnetic field is causing interference. Use
higher-quality cables or re-arrange the cables you are using to
reduce interference to a minimum. If this still
doesn't improve the situation, use a DI box.
- The grounding of the connected devices may be causing a
ground loop. DO NOT SEVER THE GROUND OF THE
CONNECTED DEVICES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
