With the marvelous new Statesman series, Hughes & Kettner has debunked the myth that all classic tube amp designs lack versatility. The Statesman models’ kinship with ‘60s-era forebears is obvious at first glance – they share that familiar look & feel. Sporting 12AX7 preamp tubes and EL 84 power amp tubes, they would also appear to share the same DNA. Take a closer look, though, and you will see its talents transcend mere mimicry, with two sweet-sounding discrete channels! Clean delivers the soulful shimmering tone of an open tube combo. Its Twang switch lives up to its name by adding a healthy helping of punchy high-mids that put the spank in funk and do the country twang thang so well; even contemporary ballads benefit from the upper mids boost. Dial in a dab more gain, and dive into a world of dynamic crunch tones and hair-trigger response to every subtlety of your touch. The Drive channel offers more than merely more gain. It delivers the secret ingredient that is so critical to a classic rock sound - the powerful punch of a half-stack. The Gain knob takes you on a magical mystery tour from a throaty mid-‘60s bark to a typical ‘70s rock bite. The Boost button is a time machine, taking you and the amp’s overdrive tone a few years down the road! All Statesmen sport a genuine Accutronics® spring reverb; the Reverb Balance knob controls each channel’s amount. A modern effects loop lets you add external effect devices to the sonic equation. And the included footswitch lets you tap your toes to conveniently activate the two channels, Boost, the FX loop, and Reverb. An Eminence® speaker developed especially for these amps brings together the grooviest tried-and-true design features of US and UK speakers. They are the key to these rigs’ jaw-dropping tonal versatility. We wish you lots of fun with your Statesman! Your Hughes & Kettner Team Before the start-up • Please read the safety notes on Page 32-35 before the start-up! • A word of warning before you start-up your Statesman: It is loud! High loudness levels can cause hearing damage. • Ensure a sufficient air supply to the amplifier’s cooling surfaces. Absolutely pay attention to a fixed storage space, which precludes mechanical and thermal external influences, and thus ensures the operational safety of the equipment and the safety of individuals. • The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for damages to the appliance or to other devices which ensue through improper operation. Start-up • Before connecting the Statesman to the power supply network, make sure that the power switch is turned off and the indicated voltage value on the back side (see illustration: next to the “Voltage Setting” arrow) tallies with the local mains voltage. • The illustration shows the 100/120 volt version as an example. The indication of 100 volts is next to the arrow. And so the amp may only be operated on 100 V mains voltage. If the indication on your Statesman next to the arrow does not tally with the voltage that you intend to operate with, it must not be connected! • In order to avoid unwanted surprises, you should always turn the CLEAN VOLUME and the DRIVE MASTER controllers to the left stop before turning the amp on. • INPUT: Connect your guitar with this input. Please use only suitable, shielded guitar cable. • POWER: This switch opens the main current supply; the blue PILOT LAMP lights up. ..................................................................................................................

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.
