The Master Section - Hughes & Kettner ATTAX Instruction Manual

7. CRUNCH LED
The YELLOW LED illuminates when the CRUNCH channel is active.
8. LEAD GAIN
The LEAD GAIN pot regulates the amount of disortion in the tube preamp's LEAD
channel. The intensity of the compression effect inherent in tube technology increases
parallel to the amount of overdrive.
9. LEAD LED
The RED LED illuminates when the LEAD channel is active.
10. CRUNCH AND LEAD TUBE CHANNELS VOICING SECTION
The two tube channels' tone controls are a combination of active and passive circuits
designed to respond in a more musical manner. For instance, the active bass filters
provide mid-range characteristics and provides additional presence (without
unnecessary bending of frequency bands). The voicing section follows the tube
section in the amp's circuitry.
Dial in the standard setting (BASS, MID, TREBLE in the 12 o'clock position), and then
modify the settings to suit your requirements.
In addition to the tree channel's respective VOLUME and/or GAIN controls, the
CRUNCH and LEAD channels each incorporate a MASTER control (CRUNCH
MASTER / LEADMASTER). The overall output of the ATTAX is defined via the STEREO
MASTER VOLUME knob (15). These features allow for an optimum volume balance
between the three channels, an essential feature for gigs.
11. CRUNCHMASTER
Regulates the CRUNCH channel's volume in relation to the CLEAN and LEAD
channel's respective volumes.
12. CRUNCH / LEAD SELECTOR SWITCH
Activates either the ATTAX's CRUNCH or LEAD channel.
