EDITION BLUE 60-R-MANUAL

2.0 JACKS AND CONTROL FEATURES

2.1. FRONT PANEL:

INPUT: Input sensitivity is broad enough to handle guitars
equipped with humbuckers, active pickups, or single
coils.
CLEAN VOL: Determines the CLEAN channel's volume.
Depending on the type of pickups in your instrument,
the amp will begin to clip somewhere around the 12
o'clock setting (SoftClick).
CHANNEL SELECT: This channel selector switch activates
either the CLEAN or LEAD channel. The LEAD channel is
active when the button is pressed.
RED LEAD LED: The red LED illuminates when the LEAD
channel is active.
LEAD GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in the
LEAD channel.
LEAD MASTER: Determines the LEAD channel volume
level in relation to the CLEAN channel volume level.
EQ SECTION: Common BASS, MID and TREBLE controls for
the both channels. MID and TREBLE controls influence
each other, as is standard in tube amps: if you boost the
treble, the mids are cut and vice versa. This sound-
shaping feature allows you to dial in a wide variety of
subtle tonal variations.
REVERB: Controls how much integrated reverb is added
to the signal. Reverb is automatically adjusted for each
channel when you switch channels.
MASTER: Controls the amp's master volume level. The
LINE OUT signal is unaffected by the MASTER control.
LINE OUT: Use this jack to feed the signal to the input of
an FX processor. You can also route the signal to a
second power amp or through a RED BOX to a mixing
console.
LINE IN: If you are sending the LINE OUT signal to an FX
processor, connect the output from that processor to
this jack.
6
FOOTSWITCH: This jack is for a standard footswitch (e.g.
Hughes & Kettner FS-1) and it allows you to switch back
and forth between the CLEAN and LEAD channels.
When using a footswitch, ensure the CHANNEL SELECT
switch on the amp's front panel is set to CLEAN.
PHONES: Headphone jack. The speaker is automatically
switched off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

2.2 REAR PANEL:

MAINS: Connect the included Euro-norm mains cord to
this socket. Ensure the amp's voltage rating matches
your local AC voltage rating before you plug the cord
into the wall socket.
CD INPUT: Jack for connecting CD players
(tape decks).
