Hughes & Kettner Acoustic Guitar Amplifier manual Channels of the Montana

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A HUGHES & KETTNER MONTANA!

A team of guitarists and engineers developed the MONTANA acoustic guitar amplifier with a single mission in mind - to provide acoustic guitarists with not just an amp but a complete sound reinforcement system that will give them an ideal level of support in a variety of applications.

Whatever your gig - "unplugged" concert recitals, playing in an Irish pub, accompanying a chorus or larger ensemble - the MONTANA is in every respect the right rig for these applications and many more.

Equipped with a 60-watt power amp and integral limiter, this amp offers plenty of headroom and delivers a punch powerful enough to make your music stand out and be heard in virtually every type of performance scenario. Sporting a 3-band voicing section featuring parametric mids, the MONTANA lets you fine-tune its tone to suit your taste and instrument. The auxiliary microphone channel gives you the option of patching vocals through the MONTANA without having to tote along an additional mini-PA. Loaded with a custom-designed speaker combination - a 12" Eminence that pumps out big bottom end and velvety mids and a tweeter that delivers crystal-clear treble and shimmering overtones - the MONTANA does a great job of covering the broad sound spectrum of voice and acoustic guitar. The variable on-board spring reverb gives your guitar the spatial depth it needs to sound its best. A serial insert lets you patch effects into the guitar channel; you can also process the amp's master signal by patching external effect devices into the parallel FX loop. Finally, the balanced XLR output lets you connect your amp to any PA to get your sound across to the audience no matter how large the venue.

The MONTANA raises the stakes in the acoustic guitar amp game. Light, easy to transport, chock full of classy features, plenty of power and excellent sound- Montana offers you a combination of features

unmatched by any amp of its class.

WE WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS WITH, AND ENJOYMENT OF, YOUR NEW MONTANA.

THINGS TO DO BEFORE OPERATING THE AMP

•Check out the voltage rating displayed next to the amp's AC socket and make sure it matches your local AC power before you plug the MONTANA's power cord into an AC outlet.

•Make sure plenty of air can circulate around the back of the amp chassis. Heat can kill electronic components!

•Place the amp on a sturdy, secure base and avoid exposing it to mechanical shocks and extreme temperatures that could endanger the device or the safety of yourself or others.

•The manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the amp due to improper operation.

1.0 THE CHANNELS OF THE MONTANA

The MONTANA is equipped with one instrument channel and one microphone channel. The instrument channel features two inputs with different input sensitivity for acoustic guitars with and without preamplifiers.

The 3-band voicing section and the serial effects insert influences the instrument channel only. The integrated reverb affects both channels, although the microphone channel is automatically assigned less reverb. The parallel effects loop influences both channels by an equal measure.
