ENGLISH
Congratulations and thank you for choosing
the HUGHES & KETTNER ATTAX 50 amp!
A team of guitarists and technicians developed the
ATTAX amps with a single purpose in mind: To provide
you with sophisticated guitar sounds and practical fea-
tures in an easy-to-handle package.
The ATTAX 50 is the ideal workhorse for discerning
players who want happening tone in a compact amp.
The ATTAX 50's high-performance Current Feedback
power amp delivers not only 40 watts of punch, but also
the sought-after tone of a classic tube amp.
One component playing a major role in the overall tone
of the amp is the RockDriver Vintage speaker. Custom-
made for Hughes & Kettner to our specifications by
Celestion, this speaker not only perfectly captures the
essence of vintage sound, but also is extremely efficient.
This makes your ATTAX 50 substantially louder than
other amplifiers having the same output power rating.
The ATTAX 50 has the versatility, sound, and features
that inspires you to perform your best in smaller venues,
rehearsal rooms and studios.
Its logical control layout gives you immediate access to
the ATTAX 50's world of sound. This manual introduces
you to its many features and application options.
We wish you a lot of fun and success with
your new ATTAX 50!
