Switchblade

automatically according to the rate so that every knob position gives

you the best effect sound. To switch modulation effects off, simply

twist the knob to the far left-hand position.

3.3.1 CHORUS

At slow settings, the CHORUS sounds thick and lush, providing a great

sound for buoyant ballads. And because effect depth is adjusted auto-

matically, fast CHORUS settings don’t evoke that dreaded seasick tone.

3.3.2 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.

3.3.3 TREMOLO

The classic TREMOLO effect is great for dialing in typical sounds of the

‘60s as well as contemporary effect sounds.

4 Master

The Master section lets you adjust the amp’s overall Volume, route

external effects, and store Presets.

4.1 VOLUME

As the name would indicate, this knob puts the power amp at your

thumb and forefinger’s command. Exercise restraint when handling

this knob to make music a pleasant rather than a painful experience.

Handling: Unlike the Channel and effect knobs, the MASTER VOLUME

knob is not programmable! It works like any standard knob, and the

position of the knob indicates the actual setting.

Caution: High volume levels can cause hearing damage. Spare yourself

a nasty surprise and twist the MASTER VOLUME knob to the far left-

hand position before powering the amp up.

4.2 STORE

Use the STORE button to save your Presets. See chapter 6.4

for more info.

4.3 ORIGINAL VALUE

This LED tells you which knob setting is stored in the given Preset.

To this end, select a Preset, grab the knob and twist it to the left or

right until this LED lights up. The setting at which the LED lights up

corresponds to the setting stored in the Preset.

4.4 FX LOOP

SmartLoop™ is a special effects routing circuit offering a switchable

Parallel/Serial effects loop for patching in external effect devices.

Its status is stored in each Preset, that is, whether it is on or off and

configured in a parallel or serial circuit.

4.4.1 SERIAL

Switches the effects loop from Parallel (LED does not light up) to Serial

(LED lights up).

4.4.2 FX ON

Switches the effects loop on (LED lights up) and off (LED does not light up).

Tip: If you have not inserted an effect device into the FX Loop, you

can use this circuit for other purposes and store the configurations

individually in each preset:

• In parallel mode, you can use the RETURN jack to connect a second

instrument or any other audio source. You can also route the amp’s

signal to a second power amp.

• In serial mode, the effects loop lets you control the amp’s volume

remotely by simply connecting an analog Volume pedal to SEND/

RETURN.

Caution: The signal chain is severed if the effects loop is configured

serially and no effect device is connected. Send is not the best to-mixer

routing option because it accesses the preamp signal only. Patch the

power amp signal to a mixing console via the Hughes & Kettner

Red Box® and the speaker outputs.

5 Rear Panel Connections and Control Features

5.1 EFFECTS ON/OFF

This port accepts the two-way Hughes & Kettner

FS-2 footswitch.

Button 1 switches internal effects; button 2 the external effects loop.

The FS-2’s LED lights up to indicate effects are active and the FX ON

button is engaged. It does not light up if the internal effects are

bypassed or the FX ON button is switched off.

Note: The footswitch deactivates the FX ON button on the front panel!

When a footswitch is connected, it always has priority. The current

status of the footswitch is valid when switching Channels, irrespective

of the switching status stored in the preset! The front panel FX ON

button now serves as an LED display indicating the status of the

footswitch.

5.2 CHANNEL SELECT

If you ever leave your MIDI board behind, this flexible fall-back

connector for footswitches will help get you through the gig. It lets

you switch remotely between two Channels, say CLEAN and ULTRA,

using standard one-way footswitches such as the Hughes & Kettner

FS-1. A two-way footswitch such as the Hughes & Kettner

FS-2

may also be connected. In this case, button 1 is responsible for the

Channels, and button 2 is disabled. SWITCHBLADE even accepts the

four-way Hughes & Kettner

FS-4 footswitch that ships with Hughes &

Kettner

Trilogy and Matrix amp. It lets you switch all four Channels.
