Hughes & Kettner DFX - Manual (Page 9)

Edition Blue™ 15/30/60 DFX
english
2.6 Reverb
The Reverb is an authentic adaptation of a classic string Reverberation.
It works and responds in exactly the same way: the control Reverb
adjusts the Volume of the string Reverberation while the time always
stays the same. The Reverb control works independently of the FX
Level control. In the same way, when the left control is used, the
signal is „dry“ and effect section two is more or less switched off.

Outlets and other Controls

Connecting socket for guitar
3.2 Line Out and Line In (not for Edition Blue 15 DFX)
The Edition Blue™ DFX is equipped with a serial insert. The preamp
signal of the amp is completely routed and processed through an
ingrained signal processor. The Line Out can also be used as the
Output for a mixing console.
As soon as the Line Out jack is occupied, the internal signal path
is interrupted in order to feed the external signal. If no external signal
processor is used, this jack must stay free. It cannot be used as an
additional Input.
To connect a signal processor:
• Connect the processor‘s Input to the Line In jack and the
Output to the Line Out jack.
• To avoid noise, signal degradation, and interrupted signals,
only use high-quality patch cables.
• Always make sure that the signal processor is not distorting
the signal. If necessary also observe the Volume indicator of the
signal processor and use the Input and Output control of the signal
processor for dialing in a suitable Level.
• Distortion devices are not designed for use in an FX loop. Generally,
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 stamp boxes, ensure you
connect them in the proper order.
If you want to feed the Edition Blue™ DFX signal to a mixing console,
we recommend you route it through the Hughes & Kettner® Red
Box®. Patch the signal from the Line Out jack, as this signal path‘s
Level is here. The signal is then independent, balanced and frequency
corrected (speaker simulation) from the Master control.
3.3 Footswitch (not applicable for Edition Blue 15 DFX)
This jack is for a standard 1-way or 2-way Footswitch (e.g. Hughes
& Kettner® FS-1 or FS-2). This allows you to switch back and forth
between the Clean and Lead channels and to turn the effect section
on and off as you want. If you use a 1-way switch, the channels are
switched; if you use a 2-way switch, the channels run through switch 1
and the effects are controlled by switch 2.
If you want to be able to control the channels by the Footswitch,
the Channel Select switch must be switched to the front of the Clean
channel.
3.4 Headphones
Headphone jack. The speaker is automatically switched off when a
plug is inserted into this jack.
3.5 CD Input
Jack for connecting CD players, tape decks or other audio sources. The
circuit is controlled directly by the Master circuit of the Edition Blue™
DFX, which means that you can use the Master control to adjust the
Input signal‘s volume. To dial in the desired balance of levels for the
playback and guitar signals, the connected playback device has to be
equipped with some type of variable Output control.
Most audio sources have an adjustable headphone Output. You
can connect this with the CD Input with an appropriate adapter (stereo
jack/2 x cinch).
3.6 Mains
Jack for the included Mains cable. Ensure the amp‘s voltage matches your
local AC voltage rating before you plug the cord into the wall socket.
