But gradually guitarists began to expect more from an amp. Increasingly dissatisfied with the limited sonic spectrum of these one-sound wonders, players started toting an array of amps into the studio. And soon gigging rigs followed suit, growing more complex and difficult to manage. Players’ desire for more options sparked our vision of a new generation of guitar amps for a new generation of guitarists. We aspired to engineer advanced sound-sculpting tools that would unite the best of the dispa

-Avoid mechanical shocks and exposure to extreme heat, dust and especially moisture. -When connecting peripheral devices, always heed the proper safety precautions. Never connect speakers with inadequate impedances (ohms), and 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 stage hand. -Refrain from DIY repairs! You should

With the marvelous new Statesman series, Hughes & Kettner has debunked the myth that all classic tube amp designs lack versatility. The Statesman models’ kinship with ‘60s-era forebears is obvious at first glance – they share that familiar look & feel. Sporting 12AX7 preamp tubes and EL 84 power amp tubes, they would also appear to share the same DNA. Take a closer look, though, and you will see its talents transcend mere mimicry, with two sweet-sounding discrete channels! Clean delivers the sou

Connecting signal processors: • Connect the device's INPUT to the SEND jack and its OUTPUT to the amplfier‘s RETURN jack. • Activate the FX LOOP via the front panel button or STAGEBOARD Switch 3. • Adjust the FX loop's level to the signal processor's level. Press the -10 db switch for effects devices that are designed for guitar signals. If the switch is not pushed in, the signal level remains at line level for 19" rack-mounted processors. Check out the device's level LEDs. NOTE: It is usually m

The amp’s full output power of 400 watts at 4 ohms (250 watts at 8 ohms for the QC 310) is routed to this port. This means you can connect external speakers with a total impedance no lower than 4 ohms (8 ohms for the QC 310) to it. 5.8 Standard Setup / Cable Connections Quantum TM-combo Manual 6.
