PURETONE - MANUAL
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR
CHOOSING THE HUGHES & KETTNER PURETONE!
The Hughes & Kettner Custom Tube Series models are all amps
with distinctive personalities tailored to individual expression. Built
for tube purists, each amp in this line is a no-frills, straightforward
original. Each one delivers the goods in terms of tone, quality of
components, workmanship and aesthetic design, living up to the
most discerning standards_no ifs, ands or buts.
A purist's dream, the concept behind the PURETONE is as simple
as it is uncompromising_a single channel for a sweeping range of
stunning sounds. As its name would suggest, the PURETONE offers
just that_pure, unadulterated sound. Every component, every
inch of wiring was designed with a single goal in mind: to ensure
that your signal reaches your ears in a pristine state.
Nothing gets lost along the way, your tone isn't colored by inferior
components. You can even cut the tone controls out altoge-
ther with the GROWL knob. Thus you can make even the finest
nuances in your playing audible. Depending on your guitar's
volume knob setting and how hard you bear down on the strings,
you can evoke anything from crystal-clear clean tone to blues
crunch and even rough-and-ready overdrive. In a nutshell, a
world of killer tone is right there at your fingertips. The PURETONE
gives you exactly what guitarists all over the world want:
freedom of expression.
Next to its exceptional sound quality, the hallmarks of the
PURETONE are reliability and stage-worthiness. Every amp of
the Custom Tube Series is equipped with tubes that live up to
the highest standards for quality and thus guarantee maximum
dependability under even the most demanding conditions.
These qualities and its unique aesthetics make the PURETONE
a highly individual amp for equally individual guitarists.
WE WISH YOU ALL THE FUN AND SUCCESS
IN THE WORLD WITH THE TONE
OF YOUR NEW PURETONE!

BEFORE POWERING UP
• Check that the local current and the amp's AC power rating
are identical before you plug the PURETONE's mains cable
(power cord) into an AC outlet.
• Ensure that air can circulate freely around your amp's
ventilation slots.
• Place the amp on a stable platform where it is not exposed
to mechanical shocks and temperature extremes which may
damage the amp or endanger the safety of bystanders.
• Hughes & Kettner is not liable for any damage to the amp due
to improper use.
NOTE: Although we select our tubes according to the high-
est standards for quality, these are nonetheless sensitive
components. Their service life may be shortened considerably
by improper handling. Just like a top-notch athlete, they need to
warm up before they're off to the races. Always power the amp
up in STANDBY mode and wait one to two minutes before you flip
the switch from STANDBY mode to ON.
