Overview of Control
Features and Connectors
1.1 Selecting channels and effect parameters
Use buttons 1 to 4 to select the ATTAX 100™’s four channels, CLEAN,
CRUNCH, LEAD and ULTRA. These buttons correspond to the buttons on the included footswitch. When the footswitch is connected, buttons
1 to 4 serve display purposes only, and the footswitch switches channels.
ensure that the mains voltage matches the value indicated on the back panel of the ATTAX 100™. Get in touch with your Hughes & Kettner
® dealer immediately if this is not the case or the included mains cord’s plug does not fit into the wall outlet.
1.4 Speaker out
Use jack or jack pair 25, EXTERNAL SPEAKER or SPEAKERS, to connect speakers. All speakers are connected in parallel for both the combo and the head.
Use knobs 5 to 8 to adjust the effect for the given channel. The FX
MATRIX Autostore function automatically saves the edited effect settings for every channel. You do not need to store settings separately.
Even if the amp is suddenly switched off or power fails, the FX MATRIX will recall your settings.
ATTAX 100™ COMBO
EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Connect cabinets with 8 ohms minimum impedance to this jack. The impedance of connected speakers must never be lower than 8 ohms!
1.2 Instrument inputs, channels and master volume
Connect your guitar to input 9. Please use high-quality shielded cords only.
Use knobs 10 to 21 to shape the sound and determine the volume of individual channels. You’ll find a detailed description of the channels in section 2. Knob 22 determines the amp’s overall volume level. Always turn the MASTER knob all the way down – that is, counterclockwise as far as it will go - before powering your amp up.
Knobs 10 to 22 work in the same tried-and-true manner as the controls on a classic amp. These settings are not stored. This means that the actual position of the knob determines the amp’s sounds.
ATTAX 100™ HEAD
SPEAKERS: You can connect two cabinets to the head. The minimum impedance is 4 ohms; ensure your rig’s impedance never drops below
4 ohms! If you plug cabs into both jacks, each cabinet’s impedance must be 8 ohms or higher. If you plug a cab into just one jack, its impedance must be 4 ohms or higher.
1.5 Headphones out
Connect standard stereo headphones to jack 26, HEADPHONES.
Adjust the volume via the MASTER knob. Always plug in a stereo 1/4" jack when connecting headphones. The headphones output may be damaged if you insert a mono plug into the jack. The ATTAX 100™ speaker output is deactivated when a plug is inserted into this jack.
1.3 Mains switch and mains socket
Use switch 23 to turn the ATTAX 100 on and off. Make a habit of checking to make sure that the switch is set to the OFF position before you connect the power cable to a mains power supply. The ATTAX 100 ships with a separate power cord that connects to socket 24. Please
1.6 LINE OUT
Use jack 27, LINE OUT, (mono 1/4" jack) to patch out the amp’s signal, including all effects, to another power amp or a DI box (for example, the Hughes & Kettner
®
RED BOX
®
).
1.7 CD/LINE INPUT
9
ATTAX 100™ Manual
10
Use jack 28, CD/LINE INPUT, to patch in any type of line signal. For example, you could plug in a CD player to play along with a recorded track. Use a cord equipped with stereo 1/4" jack plugs to do this.
Adjust the level using knob 22, MASTER VOLUME.
1.8 FX SEND/RETURN
Connect an effect device’s output to jack 29, FX RETURN; connect an effect device’s input to jack 30, FX SEND. The effects loop is a serial circuit, so adjust the effect amount (or wet-to-dry balance) at the effect device. The entire preamp signal is routed through the inserted effector and processed there. Please note that your rig’s sound quality depends to a considerable extent on the quality of the employed effect device.
A poor-quality signal processor can have an adverse effect on the
ATTAX 100’s sound quality.
• Use high-quality patch cords only to prevent signal loss,
background noise and drop-outs.
• Ensure that the effect device is not being overdriven. Be sure
to keep an eye on whatever type of level meter, gain indicator
or overload lamp the effects device is equipped with, and
adjust its input and output controls accordingly.
• Fuzz boxes, overdrives and distortion units don’t belong in an
FX loop. Plug them into the amp’s input.
switch 1: MOD+DLY+REV, switch 2 remains free (as “global bypass when single footswitch is used”)
After switching-on, the ATTAX 100 confirms the selected configuration by making all four channel selecting switches blink on and off a corresponding number of times. For example, once for combination 1, and twice for combination 2, etc.. As soon as the LEDs are flashing, you can let go of CLEAN and LEAD.
ATTENTION: If CLEAN and ULTRA are kept pressed down at the same time, the entire AMP (all sounds and the FX-ON/OFF configuration) is reset to the factory presets.
2
The ATTAX 100’s four Channels
2.1 CLEAN
The Clean channel is tweaked to sound sweet when driven by singlecoil as well as humbucking pickups.
1.9 FOOTSWITCH
Your ATTAX 100™ comes with a four-way footswitch that plugs into jack 31. The buttons on the footswitch correspond to buttons 1 to 4 on the ATTAX 100’s front panel. When the footswitch is plugged into the amp, buttons 1 to 4 serve display purposes only, and the footswitch switches channels.
1.10 FX ON/OFF
Especially for live performances, the ATTAX 100™ enables you to turn the internal effects on and off individually, in addition to the 4 switchable channels. To do this, you need to connect a footswitch to the stereo 32 FX ON/OFF jack. Using a simple footswitch (such as the
Hughes & Kettner
®
FS-1) will enable you to switch the modulation effects and DELAY at the same time, leaving REVERB unaffected. You can use a double footswitch (such as the Hughes & Kettner
®
FS-2) to switch the modulation effects and DELAY, and REVERB seperately.
1.11 FX-ON/OFF Programming
The switching function of the stereo socket FX-ON/OFF on the back of the ATTAX 100 can be programmed by turning the MOD FX knob and holding CLEAN and LEAD pressed down. The following configurations show which effects blocks are assigned in this way to switch 1 and switch 2 of the double foot switch:
2.1.1 CLEAN VOL
Adjusts the CLEAN channel’s volume level. Players who opt for this class of amp demand a clean channel with enough head-room to ensure it remains clean. This amp certainly does that. Depending on the pickups’ output power, you may also be able to dial in a touch of grit. For single-coils, we recommend that you turn the knob well up.
Do this, and the amp will reward you with tight & punchy midrange response that is both crisp and fat. If your axe sports humbuckers, set this knob somewhere around the 12 o‘clock position for crystal-clear clean tone.
2.1.2 Clean Voicing Section: BASS, MID and TREBLE
knobs. MID and TREBLE controls influence each other, as is standard and desirable in the tube amps that this voicing section is patterned on. If you boost the high end, mids are cut and vice versa. This sound-shaping feature lets you to dial in a wide variety of subtle tonal variations. We recommend that you go easy on the bass for the CLEAN channel. Generally, the more mids you dial in, the more assertive your clean tone in the band’s soundscape. Note that the TREBLE knob shapes your guitar signal’s bell-like overtones.
1) MOD FX knob is in 6 −9 o‘clcok position switch 1: MOD+DLY, switch 2: REV (factory preset)
2) MOD FX knob is in 9 −12 o‘clcok position switch 1: MOD, switch 2: DLY (reverb is not connected)
3) MOD FX knob is in 12 −15 o‘clcok position switch 1: MOD, switch 2: DLY + REV
4) MOD FX knob is in 15 −18 o‘clcok position
2.2 CRUNCH
Overdriven sounds à la carte! This channel covers a diverse tonal spectrum ranging from squeaky clean to gritty overdrive. It responds to every nuance in your picking attack, granting you precise control over the amount of overdrive via your guitar‘s volume knob. Higher
CRUNCH knob settings elicit warm sustain that is ideal for singing leads with breathy dynamics.
2.2.1 CRUNCH GAIN
Controls the CRUNCH channel’s input sensitivity and thus the amount of saturation. You can dial in anything from tone that is just sweet enough to pass for clean to throaty tones that are distinctly rough around the edges. Again, crank the knob for single-coils; back it off a bit for humbuckers.
ATTAX 100™ Manual
2.2.2 CRUNCH VOL
Controls the CRUNCH channel’s level; use it to determine the balance between it and the other channels.
modulation effect’s rate. Modulation depth is adjusted automatically according to the rate setting so that every knob position yields a hip effect sound offering real-world utility.
2.3 LEAD
Yields hard-hitting, snarling British rock tone.
3.1.1 CHORUS
Low CHORUS settings yield a slow throb for thick, underwater sounds that work great with ballads. Courtesy of automatic effect depth adjustment, higher CHORUS settings do not evoke that dreaded
“seasick” tone.
2.3.1 LEAD/ULTRA GAIN
Controls the LEAD and ULTRA channel’s input sensitivity and thus the amount of saturation, with distortion option ranges from creamy smooth to British grit and chunky NuMetal thunder.
3.1.2 FLANGER
Slow FLANGER settings yield a stately sweeping whoosh effect, while faster settings give you swirly effects often heard in contemporary rock and pop tunes.
2.3.2 LEAD Vol
Controls the LEAD channel’s level; use it to determine the balance between it and the other channels.
3.1.3 TREMOLO
Though the classic TREMOLO effect is great for recreating the sounds of ‘60s, it also serves up some hip effects that work wonders for contemporary tunes.
2.4 ULTRA
Beware! The ATTAX 100’s heart of darkness, this channel offers fierce high-gain sounds of a flavor favored by popular NuMetal bands. This brand of distortion is best described as an angry roar. Depending on this channel’s settings, you can dial monster NuMetal tone, grinding post-grunge and alternative sounds, and thunderous death and Gothic metal noise.
2.4.1 ULTRA VOL
Controls the ULTRA channel’s level; use it to determine the balance between it and the other channels.
3.2 DELAY
DELAY is controlled via two knobs: TIME is an infinitely variable knob that sweeps smoothly to the next repetition from 80 ms to 1400 ms. Feedback is adjusted accordingly and automatically.
Short DELAYs with minimal feedback conjure great slap-back rockabilly sounds, while medium-length DELAYs are perfect for
U2-style jangle. Long DELAY times let you come up with cascading,
Queen-style licks. The VOLUME knob determines the level of repetitions, with a control range sweeping from off to as loud as the original signal.
2.5 CRUNCH, LEAD, ULTRA Voicing Section
For handling ease, the ATTAX 100’s three overdrive channels share common voicing controls. However, behind these tone controls are three different EQ circuits that are automatically switched along with the channel. This is why an EQ setting that you have dialed in for the
LEAD channel works so well with the CRUNCH and ULTRA channels.
3
The ATTAX 100’s Effects
The ATTAX 100 features three independent effects - modulation, DELAY and REVERB. All three effect models may be used simultaneously and adjusted independently. The FX MATRIX automatically stores settings for each channel.
3.1 MOD FX
The ATTAX 100 puts at your disposal the three most sought-after modulation effects: A CHORUS, FLANGER and TREMOLO are all assigned to one knob. CHORUS is assigned to the first third of the knob’s control range, FLANGER to the second, and TREMOLO to the final third. You can sweep the knob within each third to adjust the effect’s characteristics. We staked out the parameters so that you can swiftly and easily dial in settings that elicit good-sounding, useful variations of the desired effect. To switch off modulation effects, simply twist the knob to the far left. Twisting the knob clockwise adjust the
3.3 REVERB
The REVERB is an authentic-sounding emulation of a classic spring reverb. It handles and responds just like the original: Simply twist the
REVERB knob to adjust the spring REVERB’s volume.

IMPORTANTI AVVERTIMENTI DI SICUREZZA!
LEGGERE ATTENTAMENTE PRIMA DELL’USO E
CONSERVARE PER UN UTILIZZO SUCCESSIVO
• L’apparecchio è stato costruito dalla Hughes & Kettner secondo la normativa europea IEC
60065 ed ha lasciato il nostro stabilimento in stato ineccepibile. Per garantire il mantenimento di tale stato e un utilizzo assolutamente privo di rischi l’utente è tenuto ad osservare le indicazioni e gli avvertimenti di sicurezza contenuti nelle istruzioni per l’uso. L’apparecchio rispecchia il livello di sicurezza I (collegato a terra).
• Sicurezza, affidabilità e prestazioni dell’apparecchio vengono garantiti dalla Hughes & Kettner solo ed esclusivamente se:
• Montaggio, ampliamento, rimessa a punto, modifiche e riparazioni vengono eseguite dalla
Hughes & Kettner stessa o da personale da essa autorizzato.
• Gli impianti elettrici nei locali prescelti per l’uso dell’apparecchio rispondono alle normative stabilite dall’ANSI.
• L’apparecchio viene utilizzato come indicato nel libretto delle istruzioni per l’uso.
Avvertimenti:
• In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti dell’involucro, a meno che non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano, possono venire alla luce parti dell’apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.
• Se l’apertura dell’apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispensabile staccare precedentemente quest’ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensione. Rispettare tale misura di prevenzione anche prima di un allineamento, di operazioni di manutenzione, della messa in esercizio o della sostituzione di componenti all’interno dell’apparecchio.
• Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni dell’apparecchio in presenza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente da personale specializzato ed autorizzato, in grado di eseguire tali operazioni evitandone i rischi connessi.
• Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036 (vedi illustrazione 1 a fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione pericolosa con cui evitare il contatto. Per questo motivo, prima di accendere l’apparecchio, collegare quest’ultimo agli altoparlanti servendosi esclusivamente del cavetto d’allacciamento indicato dal produttore.
• Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati all’involucro dell’apparecchio per quanto possibile.
• Utilizzare esclusivamente fusibili del tipo IEC 127 con la indicata corrente nominale.
• L’utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito del sostegno di metallo sono proibite.
• Non interrompere mai il collegamento con il circuito di protezione.
• Superfici contrassegnate dalla parola „HOT“ (vedi illustrazione 2 a fondo pag.), cosi come griglie di aerazione, dispositivi di raffreddamento e i loro rivestimenti di protezione, oppure valvole e i relativi rivestimenti protettivi possono surriscaldarsi notevolmente durante l’uso e per questo motivo non vanno toccate.
• L’ascolto di suoni ad alto volume può provocare danni permanenti all’udito. Evitate perciò la diretta vicinanza con altoparlanti ad alta emissione di suono e utilizzate cuffie protettive in caso ciò non sia possibile.
Alimentazione:
• L’apparecchio è concepito per il funzionamento continuo.
• La tensione di esercizio deve corrispondere alla tensione di rete a cui ci si allaccia.
• Attenzione: l’interruttore di alimentazione dell’apparecchio deve essere in posizione OFF quando viene allacciato il cavetto d’alimentazione.
• L’allacciamento alla rete elettrica avviene tramite alimentatore o cavetto d’alimentazione consegnato insieme all’apparecchio.
• Alimentatore: un cavo di connessione danneggiato non può essere sostituito. L’alimentatore non può più essere utilizzato.
• Evitate un allacciamento alla rete di corrente utilizzando cassette di distribuzione sovraccariche.
• La spina di corrente deve essere situata nelle vicinanze dell’apparecchio e facilmente raggiungibile in qualsiasi momento.
Locali di collocamento:
• Opportuno collocare l’apparecchio su una superficie pulita e orizzontale.
• Non sottoporre l’apparecchio in funzione a scosse e vibrazioni.
• L’apparecchio deve essere posizionato sempre in modo da assicurare il libero accesso all’interruttore di alimentazione.
• Proteggere l’apparecchio per quanto possibile da umidità e polvere.
• Non collocare l’apparecchio vicino ad acqua, vasche da bagno, lavandini, lavelli da cucina, locali umidi o piscine. Non appoggiare recipienti contenenti liquidi - vasi, bicchieri, bottiglie, ecc. - sull’apparecchio.
• Provvedere ad una buone aerazione dell’apparecchio.
• Eventuali aperture previste per la ventilazione dell’apparecchio non vanno ne bloccate, ne mai coperte. L’apparecchio va collocato ad almeno 20 cm di distanza dalle pareti circostanti e può essere inserito tra altre componenti di un impianto solo in caso di sufficiente ventilazione e qualora le direttive di montaggio del produttore vengano rispettate.
• Evitare di esporre l’apparecchio ai raggi del sole e di collocarlo direttamente nelle vicinanze di fonti di calore come caloriferi, stufette, ecc.
• Se l’apparecchio viene trasportato rapidamente da un locale freddo ad uno riscaldato può succedere che al suo interno si crei della condensa. Ciò va tenuto in considerazione soprattutto in caso di apparecchi a valvole. Attendere che l’apparecchio abbia assunto la temperatura ambiente prima di accenderlo.
• Accessori: non collocare l’apparecchio su carrelli, supporti, treppiedi, superfici o tavoli instabili. Se l’apparecchio dovesse cadere a terra potrebbe causare danni a terzi o danneggiarsi irreparabilmente. Utilizzate per il collocamento dell’apparecchio supporti, treppiedi e superfici che siano consigliate dal produttore o direttamente comprese nell’offerta di vendita. Per il collocamento dell’apparecchio attenetevi strettamente alle istruzioni del produttore, utilizzando esclusivamente accessori da esso consigliati. L’apparecchio in combinazione ad un supporto va spostato con molta attenzione. Movimenti bruschi o il collocamento su pavimenti non piani possono provocare la caduta dell’apparecchio e del suo supporto.
• Accessori supplementari: non utilizzate mai accessori supplementari che non siano consigliati dal produttore, potendo essere ciò causa di incidenti.
• Per proteggere l’apparecchio in caso di temporali o nel caso questo non venisse utilizzato per diverso tempo si consiglia di staccarne la spina di corrente. In questo modo si evitano danni all’apparecchio dovuti a colpi di fulmine o ad improvvisi aumenti di tensione nel circuito di corrente alternata.
