1	Overview of Control Features and
	Connectors

1.1 Selecting channels and effect parameters

Use buttons 1 to 4 to select the MATRIX™ 100’s four channels, CLEAN, CRUNCH, LEAD and WARP. These buttons correspond to the buttons on the included footswitch. When the footswitch is connected, buttons 1 to 4 serve display purposes only, and the footswitch switches channels.

Use knobs 5 to 8 to adjust the effect for the given channel. The FX MATRIX’s Autostore function automatically saves the edited effect settings for every channel. You do not need to store settings separately. Even if the amp is suddenly switched off or power fails, the FX MATRIX™ will recall your settings.

1.2Instrument inputs, channels and master volume

Connect your guitar to input 9. Please use high-quality shielded cords only.

Use knobs 10 to 21 to shape the sound and determine the volume of individual channels. You’ll find a detailed description of the channels in section 2. Knob 22 determines the amp’s overall volume level. Always turn the MASTER knob all the way down – that is, counterclockwise as far as it will go - before powering your amp up.

Knobs 10 to 22 work in the same tried-and-true manner as the controls on a classic amp. These settings are not stored.

This means that the actual position of the knob determines the amp’s sounds.

1.3 Mains switch and mains socket

Use switch 23 to turn the MATRIX™ 100 on and off. Make a habit of checking to make sure that the switch is set to the OFF position before you connect the power cable to a mains power supply. The MATRIX™ 100 ships with a separate power cord that connects to socket 24. Please ensure that the mains voltage matches the value indicated on the back panel of the MATRIX™ 100. Get in touch with your Hughes & Kettner® dealer immediately if this is not the case or the included mains cord’s plug does not fit into the wall outlet.

1.4 Speaker out

Use jack or jack pair 25, EXTERNAL SPEAKER or SPEAKERS, to connect speakers. All speakers are connected in parallel for both the combo and the head.

MATRIX™ 100 COMBO

EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Connect cabinets with 8 ohms minimum impedance to this jack. The impedance of connected speakers must never be lower than 8 ohms!

MATRIX™ 100 HEAD

SPEAKERS: You can connect two cabinets to the head. The minimum impedance is 4 ohms; ensure your rig’s impedance never drops below 4 ohms! If you plug cabs into both jacks, each cabinet’s impedance must be 8 ohms or higher. If you
