Congratulations and thank you for

choosing the HUGHES & KETTNER

EDITION BLONDE amp!

Ateam of guitarists and technicians developed the
EDITION BLONDE 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 BLONDE is the ideal workhorse for discerning players
who want happening tone in a compact amp. The EDITION
BLONDE's high-performance Current Feedback power amp delivers
not only 40 watts of 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 Junior 12“ speaker. Custom-made for Hughes &
Kettner to our specifications by Celestion, this speaker not only per -
fectly captures the essence of vintage sound, but also is extremely
efficient. This makes your EDITION BLONDE
substantially louder than other amplifiers having
the same output power rating.
The EDITION BLONDE 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
BLONDE's world of sound. This manual introduces you to its many
features and application options.

We wish you a lot of fun and success with your new

EDITION BLONDE!
