WARP 7 - MANUAL

FOOTSWITCH: Jack designed to take a standard footswitch (the HUGHES & KETTNER® FS-1 will do nicely) for switching back and forth between the CLEAN and WARP channels. To do this, the CHANNEL SELECT switch on the front panel must be set to CLEAN (red LED does not light up).

PHONES: Connect headphones to this jack. The head’s SPEAKER OUT is automatically disconnected when you insert a plug into this jack. On the combo, both the SPEAKER OUT and internal speaker are disabled, ensuring conciliatory relationships with landlords.

MAINS: Connect the included Euro norm mains cable to this socket. Before you plug in the mains cord, ensure your local mains voltage matches the specification indicated on the device.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS:

Serial (combo): Designed to connect an auxiliary cabinet with a minimum impedance of 4 ohms. Unless of course you want to use the WARP 7™ one last time as a hot air grill, barbecuing it in the process. That’s an option we can’t advocate...

Parallel (heads): Designed to connect to the included 4x12" cabinet and another auxiliary cabinet with a rating of at least 8 ohms. The minimum permissible impedance is 4 ohms. This means if you connect cabinets to both outs, each cabinet’s impedance may be no lower than

4 ohms! Unless of course…(see above)

4.0 OPERATING THE WARP 7™

Now that you know a bit about the key features, let’s take a look at how the WARP 7™ handles. This section also provides useful tips on connecting the WARP 7™ to other devices.

4.1 SELECTING CHANNELS

You can activate the channels of the WARP 7™ via the front panel CHANNEL SELECT button or an external footswitch. The HUGHES & KETTNER® range of accessories offers a footswitch that fits the bill, the FS 1.

4.2 THE WARP 7™ AND FX DEVICES

WARP 7™ is equipped with a serial effects loop. This means that the preamp output signal is routed through an inserted effect device in its entirety, and that the entire signal is processed. Please note that the sound quality of the processed signal depends largely on the quality of the employed effect device. A sorry signal processor can corrupt your tone.
