WARP T - MANUAL
MAINS ON/OFF
This button switches the main power supply on
and gives the tubes the opportunity to warm up
for the challenges that lie ahead.
STANDBY
This switch mutes the amp. After the tubes warm
up, flick the STANDBY switch to send the guitar's
signal into the WARP T™. Use the following knobs
to shape your signal:
MASTER VOL
As the name would indicate, this knob puts the
power of 120 tube-driven between your thumb
and forefinger. Use it wisely because it can induce
everything from bliss to pain to near madness in
your band mates. Though twisting this knob can
be as much fun as the law allows, don't unleash
all this power rashly. Exercise restraint and protect
your and your fellow musicians' hearing.
MIDI LEARN
This button serves to program the retrofit
Hughes & Kettner ® MSM-1™ MIDI module. Installing
the MSM-1 MIDI module endows the WARP T™
with MIDI capability. Once it has been installed,
you can press the MIDI LEARN button to save the
current channel/FX loop configuration.
FX LEVEL
This knob adjusts the external effect signal's amo-
unt or the wet level. For more on this, read section
4.3 HOW TO CONNECT AN EFFECTOR
WARP CHANNEL
MASTER
Controls the level of the WARP channel. Use it to
dial in the desired balance between the CLEAN
and WARP channels, that is, to determine which
side of the WARP T™'s split personality will
dominate - Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.
PRESENCE
Fine-tunes the WARP channel's overtones.
You can dial in razor-edge tone to make your
musical statements cut through the din.
TREBLE, MID, BASS
Tweak these three knobs according to taste,
shaping your personal WARP sound as you see fit.
LUBE
Do you want ultimate response to your touch,
a feeling that the strings are an extension of your
fingers and slaves to your will? Then press the LUBE
button. It "greases" up your strings, making riffs
and licks fly off the fret board.
SUB
Press this button to dig deep into the dark
underbelly of the WARP channel and draw up
bowel-shaking sub bass frequencies.
FX ON
Routes the external effect to the WARP channel.
If you want to switch this function via Stageboard
or MIDI, set this switch to the OFF position, that is,
ensure that it is not pressed. For more on this, read
section 4.3 HOW TO CONNECT AN EFFECTOR.
GAIN
Of all the WARP T™'s many features, the GAIN
knob is the one that will shape the heart of your
tone. Evoking anything from gritty crunch to
ferocious fuzz, the GAIN knob lends your riffs and
power chords precisely the edge that you want
them to have. Twist it to go from merely dirty but
tremendously punchy tone at lower settings to a
merciless evil roar at higher settings.
WARP CH. ON
Activates the WARP channel and unleashes its
unbridled tube power.
