EDITION BLUE MANUAL
LEAD:
This channel delivers direct, in-your-face classic
rock sounds with a very British feel. The MID control
is a very effective sound-shaping tool; it lets you
dial in many different lead sounds. If you
drastically taper off the mids, the EDITION BLUE™
will produce the unmistakable sound of modern
tube amps - ideal for tapping and heavy-duty
power chord riffing.
REVERB:
In the signal chain, the EDITION BLUE™ reverb
section is located after the FX loop so you can use
it for external effects and still achieve a clean
reverb sound. Additionally, the reverb level auto-
matically adjusts its own level when you switch
between channels, more for clean, less for lead.
2.0 JACKS AND CONTROL
FEATURES
2.1. FRONT PANEL:
INPUT: Input sensitivity is broad enough to handle
guitars equipped with humbuckers, active
pickups, or single coils.
CLEAN VOL: Determines the CLEAN channel's
volume. Depending on the type of pickups in your
instrument, the amp will begin to clip somewhere
around the 12 o'clock setting (SoftClick).
CHANNEL SELECT: This channel selector switch
activates either the CLEAN or LEAD channel. The
LEAD channel is active when the button is
pressed.
RED LEAD LED: The red LED illuminates when the
LEAD channel is active.
LEAD GAIN: Controls the amount of distortion in
the LEAD channel.

6
LEAD MASTER: Determines the LEAD 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.
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.
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-1) and it allows you to
switch back and forth between the CLEAN and
LEAD channels. 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.
2.2 REAR PANEL:
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.
CD INPUT: Jack for connecting CD players (tape
decks).
