Do not open the panels of the amplifier. No user serviceable parts inside. Your Hagen operates on very high internal voltages, which may still be present after the Amplifier has been turned off and disconnected for a while. Do not use the Amplifier for anything other than its design purpose: To Amplify Electric Guitar...
After about 40 seconds, the tubes have sufficiently heated for normal operation. Your Hagen is now ready for operation and the standby switch can be turned to “run” (also facing up). Premature activation of the standby switch will lead to unnecessary tube stress and subsequent reduction of the power tube’s life span.
2.1.4 Operating Temperature It will take a little more time after warm-up until everything inside the amp is working in sync and to it’s fullest potential. A trained ear will notice a slightly warmer tone and better complexity in tone after playing the amp for a short while. It’s like warming up before running a marathon. Get 2.1.5 Power Tube Life The power tubes of your amplifier are subject to a certain aging process.
The loops of your Diezel Hagen send signals at higher levels and impedances, which makes this section of wiring less sensitive. You should still use reliable and good quality wiring for all loops and inserts.
There are 2 ways to handle effects signals. If you use the serial return, then the signal path of your Hagen is interrupted, the signal is sent to the processor, gets more or less processed, then sent back to the serial return into the power amp. Digital effects units often digitize this signal, then process it, then convert it back to analog, then send it to the amp.
3.2.8 Speaker Connections Hagen has 5 speaker jacks: 1 for a 16-Ohm load, 2 for 2 16-Ohm loads or 1 8Ohm load, and 2 for 2 8-Ohm loads or 1 4-Ohm load. Confusing? Oh, yes! Just do what it says on the jacks, and you’ll be fine 3.2.9 Top 5 Reasons for dynamic losses in the effects loop...
Midi in receives “program change” orders from commonly available midi pedals and control systems. The Hagen is able to supply phantom power to your midi pedal via a 7-prong DIN midi cable. This can help unclutter your stage system and rids the artist of these pesky power supplies.
Chapter Four: Four Pre-Amplifiers 4.1 Pre-Amplifiers and their Functions The Diezel Hagen comes equipped with 4 different and totally independent preamps. This allows the artist to play every conceivable musical style without having to make major changes to his or her amplifier.

4.1.4 Channel 4 (Lead or heavy riffing) This channel either is suitable for lead and soloing with the gainpot between 11 and 12 o’clock, while further increase of it will give you monstrous distortion for the heaviest riffing. 4.2 Pre-amp Tubes The pre-amps are equipped with 12AX7 tubes in all positions.
With the switch “Mas2” you can select the second master volume (“Master 2”) for soloing and adjust the loudness with it. Of course (as most functions of Hagen) it can be switched via midi. 5.1.2 Presence This knob controls frequencies over 3KHz.
5.2.2 Selection Diezel Co. installs the most reliable and best sounding tubes that are currently available in sufficient quantities. So it is possible that tube brand and tube type can change during production.
Chapter Six: Functions and Switches 6.1 Programming the Hagen It is quite easy to program your Diezel Hagen and, also, easy to explain. Pushing the “Store” toggle switch twice must follow each change in the MIDI program. After the first click, the selected blue LED lights will blink.
(and processors and computers) of all kinds. We will only need to learn a small portion of this “language” to use the Hagen and its peripheral MIDI partners. We are going to learn only about “program change”.
Preamp channel one selector off, channel two selector on, channel 3 selector on, channel 4 selector off. If you let go of “Mute” now, then your Hagen is set to respond to MIDI channel 7 only. Get it? The table below gives you the sequence for all 16 MIDI channels.
The optional Columbus footswitch can be connected via the rear panel mounted XLR jack. The Columbus will not recognize functions selected from the front panel. Further to the right is the FS7HA jack located, where (in the future, not available yet, tba) the proprietary FS7-Hagen footswitch is hooked via a normal guitar cable.
Chapter Nine: Maintenance and Cleaning 9.1 Cleaning Never use a wet method of cleaning the amplifier, i.e. any amplifier. Usually it is sufficient to wipe down the outside of the amp with a slightly moist cleaning rag. Do not use abrasive cleaning chemicals.
