Hughes & Kettner Blonde Edition - Manual (Page 5)

LEAD GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in the LEAD
channel.
LEAD MASTER: Determines the LEAD channel volume level in
relation to the CLEAN channel volume level.
EQ SECTION: Common BASS, MID and TREBLE controls for
the both channels. MID and TREBLE controls influence each
other, as is standard in tube amps: if you boost the treble, the
mids are cut and vice versa. This sound-shaping feature allows
you to dial in a wide variety of subtle tonal variations.
REVERB: Controls how much integrated reverb is added to the
signal. Reverb is automatically adjusted for each channel when
you switch channels.
MASTER: Controls the amp‘s master volume level. The LINE
OUT signal is unaffected by the MASTER control.
LINE OUT: Use this jack to feed the signal to the input of an FX
processor. You can also route the signal to a second power amp
or through a RED BOX to a mixing console.
LINE IN: If you are sending the LINE OUT signal to an FX pro-
cessor, connect the output from that processor to this jack.
FOOTSWITCH: This jack is for a standard footswitch (e.g.
Hughes & Kettner FS-1) and it allows you to switch back and
forth between the CLEAN and LEAD channels. When using a
footswitch, ensure the CHANNEL SELECT switch on the amp‘s
front panel is set to CLEAN.
PHONES: Headphone jack. The speaker is automatically swit-
ched off when a plug is inserted into this jack.
2.2 REAR PANEL:
MAINS: Connect the included Euro-norm mains cord to this
socket. Ensure the amp's voltage rating matches your local AC
voltage rating before you plug the cord into the wall socket.
