EDITION TUBE-MANUAL

WE’RE DELIGHTED THAT YOU CHOSE TO PURCHASE AN HUGHES & KETTNER® EDITION TUBE!

The EDITION TUBE delivers mighty all-tube tone in Hughes & Kettner’s handy Edition format. Sporting two channels and a nifty retro design, it mates simple functional elegance to bodacious tube tone, giving you an easy-to-use, portable combo that looks and sounds great.

The EDITION TUBE’s Clean channel delivers a remarkably varied spectrum of vintage sounds from squeaky-clean yet warm skank to rough-and-ready blues-approved bite, and all points in between. Taking up where Clean leaves off, the Lead channel ups the dirt factor, giving you the full bandwidth, from a throaty growl to creamy,

searing rock lead tone.

Two EL84 tubes toil away in the EDITION TUBE’s engine room

-they’re responsible for the amp’s striking sound. These power amp tubes are known and cherished by tube freaks for a unique property - they begin saturating at medium volume levels, and squeezing the signal with ever so sweet compression. And that’s why the EDITION TUBE is better sui- ted for situations that call for moderate volume levels.

However, we’re not talking wallflower here - au contraire, it can rock out with the best of them. Living up to Hughes & Kettner’s rep for building ultra-responsive tone generating machines, the preamp reacts very dynamically to your touch, and packs plenty of punch when you attack those strings hard. With a back that is almost fully closed, the cabinet provides additional bottom end oomph. Twenty genuine tube-driven watts and the 12" Eminence RockDriver Cream loudspeaker do their part to give the EDITION TUBE the kind of sonic wallop you need to be heard loud and clear at rehearsals and club gigs.

Rounding out the EDITION TUBE’s complement of features are a variable spring reverb, an effects loop, and a connector for external cabinets. But then that shouldn’t come as a huge surprise because any Hughes & Kettner amp boasting the “EDITION” mark of distinction promises a touch of class.

HERE’S YOU WISHING YOU LOTS OF FUN WITH THE TONE OF YOUR EDITION TUBE!
