WARP 7-MANUAL

2.0 CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL FEATURES

INPUT: Input jack for guitars; it is designed to take guitars
with even very high output levels, so feel free to slap this
input silly with powerful signals. Totally bulletproof (in this
respect, that is), it is built to take everything your guitar
can dish out and more.
CLEAN VOLUME: Determines the level of the CLEAN
channel. Even at high settings, the amp's output signal will
remain virtually free of distortion. You may want to take pity
on your band mates and hand out earplugs before the
next rehearsal.
BASS, MID, TREBLE: The CLEAN channel's 3-band EQ. Again,
this channel has oodles of headroom, delivering
tremendous clarity and packing the kind of punch it takes
to get heavily processed signals across load and clear.
If you don't use many effects, you'll come up with the best
results if you turn the BASS knob well up and the TREBLE
knob to just to the left of the 12 o'clock position.
Then adjust the MID knob to tune the tone to your guitar
and taste.
CHANNEL SELECT: Switches from the CLEAN channel to
the WARP channel. The WARP channel is active when the
button is pressed.
RED WARP LED: Illuminates to indicate the WARP channel
is active.
WARP GAIN: Controls the saturation level (the amount of
distortion or, put onomatopoeically, the RRrrrrrr factor)
of the WARP channel. This knob is your grit selector:
Go from merely dirty but tremendously punchy tone at
lower settings to less punchy but extremely filthy tone at
higher settings - those RRrrrrrr's will really roll.
WARP MASTER: Controls the level of the WARP channel; use
it to dial in the desired balance between the CLEAN and
WARP channels. If you want to send your band buddies
home with bleeding ears, this is the knob to use.
Witticisms aside, though: The WARP 7 is a loud amp and
your hearing is extremely sensitive and easily prone to
irreversible damage. Please exercise restraint and take
every precaution to prevent hearing loss and tinnitus.
BASS, MID, TREBLE: 3-band EQ for the WARP channel.
You'll find an example setting in section 1.0 describing the
WARP channel.
6
PRESENCE: Fine-tunes the upper mids (1,100 to 1,800 hertz).
This frequency range has a considerable influence on the
overall flavor of your sound. The amount of "bite" varies
depending on this knob's setting. With a little experimen-
tation, this knob will soon help you discover the sonic
secrets of the big boys.
FX SEND: If you want to employ an effect device, connect
its input to this jack. (More on this in section 4.2).
You can also use this output to send the signal to another
power amp or a RED BOX for the purposing of patching
you r signal into a mixer. (More on this in section 4.3)
FX RETURN: Connect this jack to the effect device's output.
FOOTSWITCH: Jack designed to take a standard footswitch
(the Hughes & Kettner FS-1 will do nicely) for switching back
and forth between the CLEAN and WARP channels. To do
this, the CHANNEL SELECT switch on the front panel must be
set to CLEAN (red LED does not light up).
PHONES: Connect headphones to this jack. The internal
speaker is automatically disconnected when you insert a
plug into this jack, avoiding generational conflicts and
ensuring peaceable relationships with your fellow man and
woman.
REAR PANEL:
FUSE
MAINS: Connect the included Euro norm mains cable to
this socket. Before you plug the amp into a wall outlet,
ensure your local mains voltage matches the specification
indicated on the device.
Speaker Outputs: These jacks are designed to take speaker
cords to connect the included 4x 12" cabinet and another
auxiliary cabinet with a rating of at least 8 ohms. Make
absolutely sure that the overall impedance of connected
cabinets is not lower than 4 ohms! Unless of course you
want to use the WARP 7 one last time as a hot air grill,
barbecuing it in the process. That's an option we
can't advocate...
