CONNECTIONS
4.0 OPERATING THE
EDITION BLUE

4.1 SELECTING CHANNELS

Use the CHANNEL SELECT switch or an external
footswitch to change channels.
NOTE: Before using a footswitch, set the CHANNEL
SELECT switch on front panel of the amp itself to
the CLEAN position.
4.2 THE EDITION BLUE™ AND CD PLAYERS
The EDITION BLUE™ is equipped with a CD INPUT
located on the rear panel for the connection of a
CD player or another audio source (tape deck,
DAT recorders). The circuit is controlled directly by
the MASTER circuit of the EDITION BLUE™, which
means that you can use the MASTER knob to
adjust the input signal's volume. To dial in the
desired balance of levels for the playback and
guitar signals, the connected playback device
has to be equipped with some type of variable
output control.
Tip: Most audio playback devices feature a
variable headphones out. Using a corresponding
adapter, you can connect it to the CD INPUT.
Note: Before you switch on the audio playback
device, turn the MASTER knob all the way down.
Then turn up the MASTER knob a tad and dial in
TM
the desired balance levels. Once you're satisfied
with these levels, gradually turn up the knob to the
the desired overall level.
4.3 THE EDITION BLUE™ AND SIGNAL
PROCESSORS
The effects loop on the EDITION BLUE™ is a serial
effects loop, meaning that the entire preamp
signal is routed to the FX device and processed
there.
To connect a signal processor:
• Connect the processor's INPUT to the EDITION
BLUE™ - LINE OUT jack and the processor's
OUTPUT to the EDITION BLUE™ - LINE IN jack.
• To avoid noise, signal degradation, and inter-
rupted signals, only use high-quality patch
cables.
• Make sure the processor is not distorting the
signal. Check the processor's gain LEDs (if it is
equipped with this type of display) and use the
input and output controls to dial in a suitable
level.
• Distortion devices are not designed for use in an
FX loop. As a rule of thumb, any kind of device
that compresses the signal should be connected
first in the signal chain. Depending on the type
of effect you want to achieve, you may want to
connect your compressor directly between the
instrument and the amp's input.
• If you are using several processors or stomp
boxes, ensure you connect them in the proper
order.
4.4 THE EDITION BLUE™ AND MIXING
CONSOLES
If you want to feed the EDITION BLUE™ signal to a
mixing console, we recommend you route it
through a Hughes & Kettner RED BOX
signal from the LINE OUT jack, as this signal path's
level is not influenced by the MASTER setting. The
RED BOX ® balances the signal and simulates a
speaker cabinet.
