1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Hughes &
Kettner ® TUBEMAN ® .
The TUBEMAN ® has been designed specifically for recording elec-
tric guitar without the hassles of miking, but with authentic tube
tone and full, rich cabinet sound.
The TUBEMAN ® has a special frequency- compensated output for
connecting directly to a recording console. This output also lets
you use the TUBEMAN ® as a backup amp live on stage straight
into the mixing console. A second output allows the TUBEMAN
to serve as a preamp for connecting to a separate power amp and
guitar cabinet, or to the FX RETURN of an existing guitar amp. The
three footswitches make channel-switching easy, and the ten
control knobs offer a broad range of tonal control. With its unique
features and no-compromise quality, the TUBEMAN
the right tools to expand the scope of your musical expression.
2. JACKS AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
2.1 INPUT:
Connect this TUBEMAN input jack to the output of your guitar.
®
2.2 To Mixer:
This circuit features an integrated Red Box
put to the input of a mixing console or recording device.
2.3 To Guitar Power Amp:
This output delivers an unfiltered signal which you can route direc-
tly to a discrete power amp and guitar cabinet, or to the power
amp of your guitar combo amp, for example via your amp's FX
RETURN. It is also possible to patch this signal to a standard guitar
amp's instrument input, but we do not recommend using the new
TUBEMAN
recording. (If you're looking for the ultimate pedal to use in-line
between your guitar and the instrument input of your existing
amp, we recommend the new Hughes & Kettner TUBE FACTOR™,
which is optimized specifically for that purpose.)
