Edition Blue™ 15/30/60 DFX

2.6 Reverb

The Reverb is an authentic adaptation of a classic string Reverberation. It works and responds in exactly the same way: the control Reverb adjusts the Volume of the string Reverberation while the time always stays the same. The Reverb control works independently of the FX Level control. In the same way, when the left control is used, the signal is „dry“ and effect section two is more or less switched off.

To connect a signal processor:

•Connect the processor‘s Input to the Line In jack and the Output to the Line Out jack.

•To avoid noise, signal degradation, and interrupted signals, only use high-quality patch cables.

•Always make sure that the signal processor is not distorting the signal. If necessary also observe the Volume indicator of the signal processor and use the Input and Output control of the signal processor for dialing in a suitable Level.

•Distortion devices are not designed for use in an FX loop. Generally, any kind of device that compresses the signal should be connected first in the signal chain. Depending on the type of effect you want to achieve, you may want to connect your compressor directly between the instrument and the amp‘s Input.

•If you are using several processors or stamp boxes, ensure you connect them in the proper order.

If you want to feed the Edition Blue™ DFX signal to a mixing console, we recommend you route it through the Hughes & Kettner® Red Box®. Patch the signal from the Line Out jack, as this signal path‘s Level is here. The signal is then independent, balanced and frequency corrected (speaker simulation) from the Master control.

3.3Footswitch (not applicable for Edition Blue 15 DFX) This jack is for a standard 1-way or 2-way Footswitch (e.g. Hughes & Kettner® FS-1 or FS-2). This allows you to switch back and forth between the Clean and Lead channels and to turn the effect section on and off as you want. If you use a 1-way switch, the channels are switched; if you use a 2-way switch, the channels run through switch 1 and the effects are controlled by switch 2.

3.1 Input

Connecting socket for guitar

3.2Line Out and Line In (not for Edition Blue 15 DFX) The Edition Blue™ DFX is equipped with a serial insert. The preamp signal of the amp is completely routed and processed through an ingrained signal processor. The Line Out can also be used as the Output for a mixing console.

As soon as the Line Out jack is occupied, the internal signal path is interrupted in order to feed the external signal. If no external signal processor is used, this jack must stay free. It cannot be used as an additional Input.

If you want to be able to control the channels by the Footswitch, the Channel Select switch must be switched to the front of the Clean channel.

3.4 Headphones

Headphone jack. The speaker is automatically switched off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

3.5 CD Input

Jack for connecting CD players, tape decks or other audio sources. The circuit is controlled directly by the Master circuit of the Edition Blue™ DFX, which means that you can use the Master control to adjust the Input signal‘s volume. To dial in the desired balance of levels for the playback and guitar signals, the connected playback device has to be equipped with some type of variable Output control.

Most audio sources have an adjustable headphone Output. You can connect this with the CD Input with an appropriate adapter (stereo jack/2 x cinch).

3.6 Mains

Jack for the included Mains cable. Ensure the amp‘s voltage matches your local AC voltage rating before you plug the cord into the wall socket.
