A team of guitarists and technicians developed the EDITION BLUE-R amps with a single purpose in mind: To provide you with sophisticated guitar sounds and practical features in an easy-to- handle package.

The EDITION BLUE-R is the ideal workhorse for discerning players who want happening tone in a compact amp. The EDITION BLUE-R's high-performance Current Feedback power amp delivers not only punch, but also the sought-after tone of a classic tube amp.

One component playing a major role in the overall tone of the amp is the RockDriver Blue speaker. Custom-made for Hughes

As a very special treat, the EDITION BLUE-R offers the option of connecting a CD player or tape deck. This handy add-on feature allows you to play along with CDs or playback tracks of your own making for rehearsals, jamming, or even one-man/ woman gigs.

The EDITION BLUE-R has the versatility, sound, and features that inspires you to perform your best in smaller venues, rehearsal rooms and studios.

Its logical control layout gives you immediate access to the EDITION BLUE-R's world of sound. This manual introduces you to its many features and application options.
