Warp T - Electric guitar HUGHES & KETTNER - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL Warp T HUGHES & KETTNER

Before powering up please read the Important Safety Instructions on page 64 - 66!

WICHTIG:

Though the pamphlet you are holding in your hands explains how to handle your new killer Warp T™ amp, it's far more than merely an owner's manual. You see, it was not the manufacturer who wrote it, but yours truly, Mrs. Hansen (that's my pseudonym!)

As a beta tester, I had the great good fortune of being able to torment my neighbors and surrounding blocks with a Warp T™ half-stack. After spending a furious five minutes unleashing a battery of bodacious staccato salvoes, it was all but impossible to tear myself away from the awesome object of my bench-testing attention. It was way too much fun – certainly more than can be had in any other legal pursuit!

So, there I was a-rocking and a-riffing when the idea came to me that I could offer my services to the folks at Hughes & Kettner®, perhaps capturing my euphoria for this amp in words.

And so it came to pass - you now hold the results in your hands. I hope I managed to explain all the tweaks and knob-twists that made playing so much fun for me and such an unforgettable experience for my neighborhood and outlying areas...

Remember, fear is not your friend, so play it loud and proud!

HERE'S WISHING YOU LOTS OF SUCCESS AND FUN WITH THE WARP T™, D TAKE CARE OF YOR EARS!

THE TONE

21st century metal is all about detuned guitars, ponderous & ominous riffs, and big & bold effected clean sounds. No wonder that yesteryear's amplification can't cut it in this brave new world of sound.

While the postfix "7" in the WARP 7™ model name pointed to the amp's penchant for our beloved electric guitar's seventh bottom string, the "T" in WARP T™ stands for the awesome power of the tubes lurking within the head.

Make no mistake; the WARP T™ is the ultimate tube-driven weapon in your nu metal arsenal. With the WARP T™ half-stack, you have satisfied your wish for more bottom end beef and all but inexhaustible high-gain reserves. Hearing is believing: Simply plug that tube head into your 4 x 12" cabinet and stand back.

THE HEAD

Sporting four 6L6 tubes, the head pumps into the cabinet a heavy helping of oomph, giving you punch unmatched in this class. You'll revel in your newfound ability to cut through the din. Courtesy of mighty 120 watts blasting out of four 12" speakers, your nu metal riffs are sure to come across loud and proud. But even an opus played at warp speed soon becomes boring without a little tension and release to spice things up. The WARP T™ also delivers the kind of crisp, crystal-clear clean tone you need to heighten the musical drama and go from overtures of glassy, glossy arpeggios to infernal finales of paint-peeling fury.

THE CABINET

Somewhat larger and more stable than your ordinary 4x12" cab, this baby is built to deliver scooped mids and bowel-shaking low end. Featuring a special speaker combination of two Celestion Vintage 30s on top for crystal-clear sound and two Celestion Hot 100s on the bottom for pure bass bliss, this cab delivers archetypal nu metal tone. Shimmering with crisp top end and shaking with fat bottom end, this sound is unmatched by any other.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON SAFETY ..... 64

A word of caution before you operate your new amp: It is loud. Exposure to high volume levels may cause hearing damage. Always turn the MASTER VOLUME knob on the front panel all the way down before powering your amp up, and then turn it up gradually to a level that suits the venue and is not harmful to your ears. Always be judicious in the use of your amplifier and its volume controls: Exercise great care to prevent damaging your ears and the ears of the people around you.

Check out the voltage rating displayed next to the WARP T™'s MAINS INPUT and make sure it matches your local mains current before you plug in. Make sure plenty of air can circulate around your amp's ventilation ducts. Place the amp on a sturdy, secure base and avoid exposing it to mechanical shocks and extreme temperatures that could endanger the device or your and others' safety. The manufacturer disclaims any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any damage or defect in this and other devices resulting from misuse.

POWERING UP

First plug the speaker cabinet cord into the appropriate output on the head. On the special WARP T™ cabinet, this is the 8-ohm output. The 4-ohm and two times 16-ohm outputs are available for other cabinet types. To learn more about this, read chapter 2.0, CONTROL CONNECTIONS AND FEATURES. Plug the other end of the cord into the cabinet's input. The life of every all-tube amp depends on you getting this right! If you operate tubes without a connected load such as a speaker cabinet or with the wrong ohm load, they will die an ugly and painful death!

Now plug the head's AC power cord into an outlet and switch the amp on by pressing the MAINS button. Give the tubes some time to warm up before driving them hard. If you get bored with the wait, gaze upon the orange-red glow of the tubes and the red light emanating from the amp's interior. That should put you in the right mood for rude, red-hot riffing.

You like your WARP T™ now, but you'll learn to love it later. And because love means never having to say you're sorry, get into the habit of twisting the MASTER VOLUME knob all the way to the left (counterclockwise) when you've finished riffing. Otherwise, you may be in for a loud surprise next time you power up.

So, you've set the MASTER knob to zero? Okay, then let's get to it. Plug a cord into your guitar, then into the amp. Flick the STANDBY switch to bring those glowing tubes to life. Now you can select between different channels...

1.0 THE CHANNELS OF THE WARP T™

The WARP T™ is equipped with two channels that will serve you well if you like your music hard & heavy:

1.1 WARP CHANNEL

Dive right into the wonderful world of high gain distortion and luxuriate in the jaw-droppingly powerful sound of every riff that rips through speakers. Courtesy of the tube circuitry, this sound leaps right out of the cabinet and goes straight for the throat. The WARP channel delivers it all, from a nasty nu metal thump to post-grunge growl, from alternative snarl to the doomsday thunder so cherished by devotees of death and Goth metal. By varying the WARP channel's preamp gain and the power amp via the MASTER VOLUME knob, you can dial in anything from venomous to spine-chilling scream – and all points in between.

1.2 CLEAN CHANNEL

Even the hardest rocking axe slingers will want to give their head-banging audiences a break now and then. That's what the CLEAN channel is here for – to deliver sweet clean sound for those softer passages that make the next monstrous riff seem even more elephantine. The WARP T™ offers a unique brand of ultra clean sound that remains crisp, clear and sparkly at even very high volumes. This ensures your sound cuts through and ends up where it belongs – in your audience's ears.

2.0 CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL FEATURES

So far, so good! Now you know what your new metal machine can do for you and your music. But you need to learn all about the connections

and control features of the WARP T™ to be able to make the most of its full sonic glory. Let's take a closer look:

2.1 FRONT PANEL

The cockpit of the WARP T™ is divided to three sections. On the left next to the MAINS button, you'll find the MASTER section.

To the right you see the WARP section and finally the CLEAN section. Control features are arrayed from left to right as follows:

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 amount 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.

CLEAN CHANNEL

PRESENCE

Controls CLEAN channel overtones.

FX ON

Routes the external effect to the CLEAN channel.

TREBLE, MID, BASS

These knobs voice (shape the tone) of the CLEAN channel.

VOLUME

Determines the CLEAN channel's volume and compression levels.

INPUT

Located on the far right, this jack accepts your guitar cord's 6.3 mm (1/4") plug.

2.2 REAR PANEL

You'll find the following components mounted on the black sheet metal panel on the back of the amp:

MAINS

Equipped with a fuse compartment, this Euro mains socket provides power to your amp. Before plugging into the wall outlet, make certain the amp's voltage rating matches your local AC voltage rating. To find out your amp's voltage rating, refer to chapter 7.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

FOOTSWITCH

This port accepts the two-way Hughes & Kettner® FS-2 Stageboard, which lets you switch CLEAN and WARP channels and FX ON remotely. This feature comes in particularly handy on stage when you need to switch on the fly.

FX SEND

If you want to employ an effect device, connect this jack to the signal processor's input. You can also use this output to send the signal to an outboard power amp or a RED BOX® to patch your signal into a mixer. For more on this, read section 4.3 HOW TO CONNECT AN EFFECTOR.

FX RETURN

Connect this jack to the effect device's output.

FX -10dB

This button reduces the FX SEND jack's output level by 10 dB and increases the FX RETURN jack's input sensitivity by 10 dB to adapt the FX loop to the effect device's input level. Press this button when using effect devices with inputs designed to accept instrument levels.

MIDI MODULE

Channels, FX ON/OFF, and FX PARALLEL/SERIAL can be switched via the optional Hughes & Kettner ^® MSM-1 ^™ . The MIDI module lets you select a MIDI channel number or OMNI mode, in which it responds to commands on all 16 MIDI channels.

SPEAKER OUTS

You can connect cabinets with impedances of 4, 8, 2 x 16 and 16 ohms to the corresponding speaker outputs. Your best bet is to always connect the specially developed cabinet to the WARP T™. It is perfectly matched to the amp, giving you the biggest, boldest bottom end and a veritable eruption of heavy duty tone.

Now that you know a bit about the key features of your new amp and probably have discovered how gain the undivided attention of neighbors, fellow musicians, and significant others, let's take a closer look at a couple of tips and suggestions for handling the WARP T™ and connecting other sound-sculpting devices:

4.1 SELECTING CHANNELS

Press the WARP CH. ON button to awaken Beauty or the Beast. When the button lights up to indicate that the amp is in high-gain mode, grab the bull by the horns and hang on for dear life. After a breathtaking ride on the back of the bucking beast, you may want to give yourself and your audience a break. Press the button again to activate the CLEAN channel and revel in the sonic glory of a righteous clean sound.

4.2 FROM GRITTY RIFFS TO HI GAIN SCREAMING LEADS

No one buys this breed of amp to play polka night at the local senior citizens' community center. So, if you want to kick out the jams, you've certainly acquired the right tool for the job: Those red-hot tubes pump out the kind of red-hot tone thought to melt teeth fillings at a hundred paces. Twist the WARP channel's MASTER and GAIN knobs to turn your amp into anything from a gritty grindstone for cranking out meaty chords to a hi-gain scream machine. From subtle menace to a belligerent bellow, it's yours for the taking.

Try this on for size: Set MASTER to 5 and GAIN to 6 or 7 for a pretty ornery growl. Now add a liberal dose of BASS, cut the MIDs, and boost the bottom end by pressing the SUB button to conjure up a truly wicked hi gain roar. Back off the WARP channel's GAIN and crank the MASTER knob to 8 or 9 and try dampening the string with the heel of your hand. This yields rough & ready crunch tone with an enormous low-end kick. Before you do this, you may want to back off the MASTER VOLUME because the sound pressure may be a bit much to handle. Cliché time: An ounce of practice is worth a pound of theory, so experiment to your heart's content!

4.3 HOW TO CONNECT AN EFFECTOR

Located on the back of the amp is an FX loop designed to take any effector you care to connect. To insert a device into the loop, connect its input jack to the WARP T™'s SEND port and the device's output jack to the WARP T™'s RETURN port. Activate the FX loop using the front panel FX ON button or via footswitch. Recall that you can match the FX loop to the effect device's input level. Press the FX SEND LEVEL button for effects devices like stomp boxes that are designed for guitar signals. If the button is not pressed, the signal level remains at standard line level, which is suitable for most rack-mounted multi-effects processors.

When operating the loop in parallel mode, use the LEVEL knob to determine the volume of the effect signal.

NOTE

Some signal processors introduce phase cancellations that are detrimental to the overall sound. In this case, set the effects loop to FX SERIAL. The effects loop now operates like a conventional serial loop—in other words, you'll have to adjust the balance of levels between the original and processed signal at the processor.

TIP

If choose not to connect a signal processor to the FX loop, you can plug in another instrument or audio source.

4.4 THE WARP-T AND MIDI

With the MSM-1 MIDI Module installed, you can switch the FX loop (to include switching between serial and parallel modes) and select WARP-T™ via MIDI. This gives you the very convenient option of switching the WARP-T™ and multi effectors simultaneously.

5.0 REPLACING TUBES, SERVICE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The WARP T™ ships with 6L6 and 12AX7 tubes by RUBY. Once they've been burned in (initial continuous operation under a load), these tubes undergo an in-depth selection process where their electrical values and mechanical status (microphonics) are checked. Then they're installed in a test amp and their sound is auditioned by ear. One of the most important steps is power tube matching, a process whereby tubes with the same characteristics are selected and combined to make matched sets.

When is it a good idea to replace tubes?

The tubes in the WARP T™ are exemplary in terms of quality, workmanship and long service life. If you encounter a problem, please run down the following checklist before you swap your old tubes for new ones:

Was the fault or failure of the power tube caused by the tube itself or a flawed peripheral device or component, perhaps a defective speaker cable? (If you don't get to the bottom of the problem and remedy it, it may crop up again even after you replace the tubes.)

Did the mains voltage fluctuate or spike while the amp was on? In all-tube amps, over-voltage surges in the mains net can certainly blow fuses or even the amps. Over-voltages are often caused by generators or faulty high-current power circuits.

Did a fuse blow even though none of the tubes is actually defective? An old fuse, tube de-ionization or mains voltage power surges could have caused it to blow. In this case, replacing tubes is a waste of money and time.

Tubes definitely show signs of wear when their service life nears its end, including increased microphonics, noise, muddler tone through loss of high-end frequencies, degraded performance, etc. Take these indications seriously and replace old tubes. Not only do these side effects take their toll on sound quality, they are also a sure sign that the tube is about to fail.

NOTE

Though it may be tempting to find out what an amp sounds like with different tubes, please refrain from replacing tubes for experimentation purposes. This can damage the amp and cost a small fortune to repair.

What should you keep in mind when you're replacing tubes?

The golden rule: Replacing tubes is a job best left to qualified professionals. Accordingly, these guidelines are addressed to qualified technicians who earn their living with a screwdriver:

Pull the mains plug of the WARP T™ and allow for a discharge time of at least two minutes before removing the sheet metal panel on the rear of the amp. Once the panel is off, you can cautiously ease the tubes out of their sockets. A single power tube may only be replaced if the replacement tube precisely matches the original, in other words, if it has exactly the same characteristics. If you're replacing power tubes, use matched sets only. If you're installing a new set of power tubes whose characteristics are identical to those of the old set, it is not absolutely necessary to re-bias the amp. On the other hand, if you install a new set with different characteristics, be sure to re-bias the amp. Again, biasing an amp is not a DIY task. It requires experience and an extensive working knowledge of measuring techniques, which is why this job should be carried out only by qualified technicians with tube amp tuning experience.

How do you extend the service life of the WARP T™'s tubes?

- Never operate the WARP T™ without connecting a load (loudspeaker)! Always use high-quality, heavy-duty speaker cables that won't crimp or snap...

- Use the STANDBY switch! Warming tubes up unnecessarily wears them out that much quicker. Make a habit of cutting anode voltage via the STANDBY function and you'll enjoy many more hours of operation.

- Avoid exposing the amp to vibrations, especially when it's powered up. Switch the amp off a good while before moving it, allowing plenty of time for the tubes to cool off completely.

- Ensure plenty of air can circulate around the amp's ventilation slots at all times – your WARP T™'s life depends on it.

- Definitely avoid exposure to extreme heat, dust and particularly moisture.

- Be very careful about the kind of peripheral devices you connect to your amp and always check out their specs before you plug them in. Never connect speaker cabinets with an impedance (ohm) rating lower than the WARP T™ is designed to handle.

- Never connect devices with high output signal levels (e.g. power amps) to the WARP T™'s input.

- Ensure the AC power source delivers the current that your amp is designed to handle before you plug it in. When in doubt about the local rating, ask the venue's sound technician or a stage hand.

- Refrain from performing DIY repairs! To be on the safe side, you should also have a qualified technician replace internal fuses.

6.0 POSSIBLE ERROR SOURCES / TROUBLESHOOTING

The WARP T™ won't power up when you switch it on:

• It's not getting AC power. Check the mains cable to see if it's connected properly.
• The mains fuse is defective. Ensure it is replaced with another fuse of the same rating.

The WARP T ^™ is connected properly, but no sound is audible:

• The amp is set to STANDBY
• One or several GAIN and MASTER controls are turned all the way down
- The anode fuse has tripped. Before replacing the fuse with another fuse of the same rating, have the power tubes checked to learn if they are defective.
- The fuse for the tube heater has tripped (the tubes don't glow). When replacing this fuse, make absolutely certain that it is replaced with a fuse bearing the same rating. Be sure to have a service technician replace the fuse.

The FX LOOP is on when it shouldn't be:

- The FX LOOP is deactivated when the front panel button, the Stageboard button and the MIDI module switching function are off. If any of these three switches is on, the FX LOOP is active.

The sound is thin and muddy when you switch an effects processor on.

- The signal processor provides a wet signal that is blended with the dry or original signal. Depending on the type of effect, the processor may be returning a dry signal back along with wet signal, which causes phase cancellations when mixed to the dry signal in the WARP T™'s parallel loop. To prevent phase cancellations, switch the FX LOOP to SERIAL or turn the dry signal all the way down on the signal processor.

Your amp is producing ringing noises or tends to feedback:

- One or several tubes are microphonic. Replace the defective tube with another of the same type.

After just a few hours of operation, your amp is displaying the typical characteristics of old tubes (increased microphonics and noise, treble loss, weak power output, muddy sound):

- The wrong tubes were installed when old tubes were replaced or the amp was not biased properly. Take the amp to a professional amp technician to correct the problem.

• Loudspeaker outputs which have the IEC 417/5036 symbol (Diagram 1, below) can carry voltages which are hazardous if they are made contact with. Before the unit is switched on, the loudspeaker should therefore only be connected using the lead recommended by the manufacturer.
• Where possible, all plugs on connection cables must be screwed or locked onto the casing.
• Replace fuses using only those of the specified type and current rating.
• It is not permitted to use repaired fuses or to short-circuit the fuse holder.
• Never interrupt the protective conductor connection.
• Surfaces which are equipped with the "HOT" mark (Diagram 2, below), rear panels or covers with cooling slits, cooling bodies and their covers, as well as tubes and their covers are purposely designed to dissipate high temperatures and should therefore not be touched.
• High loudspeaker levels can cause permanent hearing damage. You should therefore avoid the direct vicinity of loudspeakers operating at high levels. Wear hearing protection if continuously exposed to high levels.

MAINS CONNECTION:

• The unit is designed for continuous operation.
• The set operating voltage must match the local mains supply voltage.
• Caution: The unit mains switch must be in position OFF before the mains cable is connected.
