Connections & Operating Elements
Front side, from right to left:
INPUT
Input for guitar.
TWANG
Switches the clean channel from classic British tonal character to the
attack-rich vintage Californian clean sound.
VOLUME
Regulates the volume and saturation of the CLEAN channel. Saturated
crunch sounds can be generated with higher volume settings
(depending on the guitar's output level).
CHANNEL SELECT switch
The illuminated pushbuttons serve for manually switching between
CLEAN (amber) and DRIVE (red) channels. This switching function is
executable via foot switch.
BOOST
Boosts selected frequency ranges in the DRIVE channel. Even more
creamy sounds will be achieved this way. This switching function is
executable via foot switch.
GAIN
Regulates the degree of overdrive in the DRIVE channel.
MASTER
Regulates the volume of the DRIVE channel.
EQ
Common BASS, MID and TREBLE controllers for both channels. MID
and TREBLE have a reciprocal influence on each other (as is usually and
desirable with tube amps): A high-frequency accentuation causes a
mid-range reduction and vice versa.
REVERB
Regulates the overall intensity of the integrated Accutronics® spring
reverb. The spring reverb is also capable of being activated via foot
switch.

REVERB BALANCE
Regulates the ratio of reverberation between the CLEAN and DRIVE
channels.
FX-LOOP
External effects can be looped-in via the serial effect path. In this
connection, SEND is linked with the input and RETURN is linked with
the output of the effect device. The FX-loop is also capable of being
activated via foot switch.
FOOT SWITCHES
The Statesman offers connections for two double foot switches (e.g.
Hughes & Kettner FS-2). The first connection switches the channels,
and turns the BOOST in the DRIVE channel on/off. The second
connection turns the internal spring reverb or the FX-loop on/off.
Single foot switches can also be connected; then the functions will be
switched via the "TIP" control mechanism.
EXTERNAL SPEAKER
Jack for connection of loudspeaker boxes whose total impedance is in
between 8 ohm and 16 ohms. The internal loudspeaker thus remains
in operation; the connection is in parallel to the internal speaker.
