Ser. No.
INPUT: The input jack sensitivity
is broad enough to handle
guitars equipped with hum-
buckers, active pickups, or
single coils.
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.
HEADPHONES: 1/4" head-
phones jack. The speaker
is automatically switched
off when a plug is inserted
into this jack.
SPEAKERS: 1/4" jacks for external speakers. The two jacks are connected in par-
allel. When using these outputs, ensure the overall combined impedance of the
connected speakers is not lower than 4 ohms! For the ATTAX 80 combo
version, you can connect one additional 60-watt cabinet in parallel to the
internal speaker. Make sure this cabinet has minimum rating of 8 ohms.
RECORDING OUT: Feeds a mixing
console, DI box or additional power
amp and speaker cabinet.
FOOTSWITCH: Jack for a standard footswitch (e.g. Hughes &
Kettner FS-1); allows you to switch back and forth between the
CLEAN and LEAD channels. When using a footswitch, ensure the
CHANNEL SELECT switch on the ATTAX 80's front panel is set to
CLEAN.
RETURN: Connect this jack to your
effects processor's OUTPUT jack.
SEND: Connect your
processor's INPUT to
this jack.
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 MASTER: Determines the LEAD
channel volume level in relation to the
CLEAN channel volume level.
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 signal level of the RECORDING
OUT jack is unaffected by the MASTER
control.
MODE 2: Selects either the LEAD 1 or LEAD 2
modes. LEAD 2 is active when the button is
pressed.
LEAD GAIN: Controls the
amount of distortion in
the LEAD channel.
MAINS: AC power
switch.
LEAD EQ SECTION: Active BASS, passive MID and
TREBLE tone controls for the LEAD channel. Here
too, MID and TREBLE influence each other for the
widest possible range of subtle tonal variations.
CLEAN VOL: Determines
the CLEAN channel's volu-
me. Depending on the type
of pickups in your instru-
ment, the amp will begin to
clip somewhere around the
12 o'clock setting
(SoftClick).
CLEAN EQ SECTION: BASS, MID and TREBLE controls for
the CLEAN channel. 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.
