EDITION BLUE
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU
FOR CHOOSING THE HUGHES &
KETTNER ® EDITION BLUE™ AMP!
A team of guitarists and technicians developed
the EDITION BLUE™ amps with a single purpose in
mind: To provide you with sophisticated guitar
sounds and practical features in an easy-to-
handle package. The EDITION BLUE™ is the ideal
workhorse for discerning players who want
happening tone in a compact amp.
The EDITION BLUE™ high-performance Current
Feedback power amp delivers not only watts of
punch, but also the sought-after tone of a classic
tube amp. One component playing a major role
in the overall tone of the amp is the speaker.This
speaker not only perfectly captures the essence
of vintage sound, but also is extremely efficient.
This makes your EDITION BLUE™ substantially louder
than other amplifiers having the same output
power rating. As very special treat, the
EDITION BLUE™ offers the option of connecting a
CD player or tape deck. This handy add-on
feature allows you to play along with CDs or play-
back tracks of your own making for rehearsals,
jamming, or even one-man/woman gigs. The
ED TION BLUE™ has the versatility, sound, and
features that inspires you to perform your best in
smaller venues, rehearsal rooms and studios. Its
logical control layout gives you immediate access
to the EDITION BLUE™ world of sound. This manual
introduces you to its many features and
application options.
WE WISH YOU A LOT OF FUN AND
SUCCESS WITH YOUR NEW
EDITION BLUE™!

BEFORE POWERING UP...

• Check that the local current and the amp's AC
power rating are identical before you plug the
power cord into an AC outlet.
• Ensure that air can circulate freely around your
amp's ventilation ducts.
• Place the amp on a stable platform where it is
not exposed to mechanical shocks and
temperature extremes which may damage the
amp or endanger the safety of bystanders.
• Hughes & Kettner ® is not liable for damages due
to improper use.

The EDITION BLUE™ features a newly developed
preamp that not only produces authentic
harmonic overdrive but also responds dynamically
to your picking style. Based on semiconductors,
this innovative circuitry simulates the sound-
shaping elements of tube amps and delivers
sound quality unparalleled in this price range. It
also provides the dynamics demanding guitarists
require for musical expression.
CLEAN:
Depending on the preamp control settings, the
EDITION BLUE™ delivers a variety of contemporary
and Junior clean tones. At higher VOLUME
settings, the "SoftClick" circuitry delivers that slight
edge you would expect from a Junior tube amp.
If desired, the CLEAN channel can put out plenty
of crunch.
