Hughes & Kettner Triplex - Manual (Page 5)

CHANNEL SELECT: This channel selector switch activates either
the CLEAN or OVERDRIVE channel. The OVERDRIVE channel is
active when the button is pressed.
RED OVERDRIVE LED: The red LED illuminates when the
OVERDRIVE channel is active.
MODE: Overdrive Mode button; it allows you to switch back
and forth between two distinct overdrive characteristics.
OVERDRIVE GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in the
OVERDRIVE channel.
OVERDRIVE MASTER: Determines the OVERDRIVE 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.
FX-MIX: Controls the amount of reverb or delay depending on
which effect was preselected.
DELAY: Varies the delay time.
FEEDBACK: This knob controls the amount of feedback for the
delay effect.
CHORUS RATE: Controls the rate or speed of the chorus effect.
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.
REAR PA N E L :
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.
FOOTSWITCH: This jack is for a standard footswitch (e.g. Hughes
& Kettner FS-2) and it allows you to switch back and forth
between the CLEAN and OVERDRIVE channels and to switch
the effects on/off. 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.
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.
