Chapter One: Safety and Warranty
1.1 Safety Warnings
We would like to stress the importance of the following points, for reasons of your
personal safety, product longevity and product liability.
Do not use the amplifier in or near wet locations
Do not store the amplifier in damp or wet locations
Do not operate the Amplifier on voltages other than those designated on the rear panel of
the amplifier.
Do not open the panels of the amplifier. No user serviceable parts inside.
Your Hagen operates on very high internal voltages, which may still be present after the
Amplifier has been turned off and disconnected for a while.
Do not use the Amplifier for anything other than its design purpose: To Amplify Electric
Guitar Signals!
Do not use fuses other than those intended and specified for the amplifier
Do not use 2-conductor extension cords or anything other than 3-pole g rounded outlets for
this Appliance. Your life may depend on it!
Please observe the following points when transporting your Hagen:
Hagen is a Tube Powered Amplifier; therefore it is sensitive to shock, especially after
playing the amplifier for a while. Please store and transport your amplifier gently, and try
and avoid temperature extremes in storage, which might cause condensation resulting in
moisture on internal components. Usually a 60 Minute acclimatization period is sufficient to
ensure safe operation.
The Amplifier should be stored in a controlled environment, and it should be transported in
a suitable flight case. Make sure the Amplifie r gets transported in its normal operating
position, not upside down or on its side.
The Hagen’s Design incorporates a very potent power amplifier. It is configured to deliver
satisfying guitar tone at most volume levels, from a small bedroom to a large arena. In its
normal operational volume level (75-80dB) it will provide beautiful tones with very little
coloration. For reasons of your own personal health, please do not run the amplifier above
these levels for extended periods of time without wearing hearing protection. Hearing Loss
is a long -term problem, and is normally not curable.

1.2 Warranty
5 years to the original owner with proof of purchase. Power Tubes and Pre Amp tubes are
covered for 3 months to the original owner.
ALL REPAIR WORK MUST BE DONE BY A DIEZEL CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. Not following this
procedure will VOID WARRANTY.
This will ensure the original owner and us at Diezel Amplification that the work is done
correctly and that there is knowledge of what is going on out there with each amp. To any
second owners or more, there is no warranty coverage nor is a warranty transferable. (This
policy is no different than before). Of course we at Diezel are happy to serve people who
purchase their amplifier on the used market should your amp ever need servicing. Parts and
labor charges will occur for our work on your amplifier as usual.

2.1.4 Operating Temperature
It will take a little more time after warm-up until everything inside the amp is working in
sync and to it’s fullest potential. A trained ear will notice a slightly warmer tone and better
complexity in tone after playing the amp for a short while. It’s like warming up before
running a marathon. Get it?
2.1.5 Power Tube Life
The power tubes of your amplifier are subject to a certain aging process. Once one of the
tubes shows signs of aging, unreliability or unusual noise, then we suggest that you
replace all power tubes. Matched tube sets wear relatively even, or so our experience
suggests. This means if one goes, the others are not far from meeting the same fate.
The aging process manifests itself by a depletion of a thin layer of Wolfram on the Anodes.
This can take anywhere from 6 month to 3 years, depending on the amount of use of the
amplifier. The amount of wear is determined by the amount of performance that is asked
from the tube.

4.1.3 Channel Three (Heavy)
This channel is voiced for highly ar ticulate single note lines or for very heavy and massive
rhythm guitar. Due to its slight midrange accent and very high gain structure, it possesses
good punch and will, with ease and authority, rule any stage or studio. The “less is often
more” rule applies here also.
4.1.4 Channel 4 (Lead or heavy riffing)
This channel either is suitable for lead and soloing with the gainpot between 11 and 12
o’clock, while further increase of it will give you monstrous distortion for the heaviest riffing.
4.2 Pre-amp Tubes
The pre-amps are equipped with 12AX7 tubes in all positions. The pre-amp tubes are not
used to make big power, but merely as pre-amplifiers. Therefore their life expectancy is
much higher than that of the power amplifier tubes.
This is not to undermine their utter importance in overall sound and response of the
amplifier. Also, many nuisance defects like crackling noises and low dynamics are directly
related to defective pre-amp tubes. Like all other tubes, 12AX7 tubes come in many
different gain stages, and offer a wide variety of tonal behavior. Our choice for production
was made to ensure a wide variety of tones, with low noise and, hopefully, excellent
reliability.
4.3 Microphonics and Bad Noises
The overall performance of pre-amp tubes is easily influenced by mechanical factors from
the outside. This would manifest itself by a sudden feedback sound with high pitch. The
input stage is especially suspect to this phenomenon. If one encounters microphonic tube
behavior, then the first tube should be checked as a rule. Pre-Amplifier tubes can also cause
hum or other bad noises, like crackling or ticking.

This function activates a device that is connected to the switch-able loop.
6.4 Mute On/Off
“Mute” silences the beast. “Tuner Out” stays active. Makes sense, no?
6.5 Master 2 On/Off
Master 2 can be used for all channels.
6.6 Store
As discussed earlier, this is the universal programming button. Activating this button twice
will verify an intended program procedure. In case you have pushed this button once by
accident, or if you have started to program and don’t want to anymore for whatever reason,
then you can push any other switch (any switch but the “Store” switch) to cancel the
programming procedure. The previously established program will be preserved. On models
equipped with GPS, this will call out the quickest way to a near by music store.

Chapter Seven: MIDI
7.1 MIDI
MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrume nts Digital Interface and is an internationally
accepted communications system between musical instruments (and processors and
computers) of all kinds. We will only need to learn a small portion of this “language” to use
the Hagen and its peripheral MIDI partners. We are going to learn only about “program
change”.
7.2 MIDI In
MIDI In is a 7-pole DIN jack. It must be connected to the MIDI Out jack of your foot
controller (or MIDI pedal), or the MIDI Out of any effects unit connected to the pedal
directly.
7.3 MIDI Thru
Connect this port to the midi in of other units to continue the MIDI chain
7.4 MIDI Communication
7.4.1 Omni Mode
The Omni mode will allow reading of MIDI information on all 16 channels. It is an easy way
to get into the MIDI system but it is not advisable if more MIDI partners on different
channels are in the same system. Then a certain MIDI channel should be assigned to the
Hagen and its program changes should be restricted to this channel (See 7.4.2). To put the
amp into the Omni mode, hold the “Mute” switch down and activate the “Master 2” switch
quickly and then release the mute switch. The Mute, Master 2, Loop and Store LED’s will
now blink to verify that the Omni mode is being accepted. This function needs to be
disabled un d er some circumst ances in ord e r to use single mode automatic or single mode
manual.
Page 20
7.4.2 Single Channel Mode – Automatic Channel Recognition
Your Hagen can automatically recognize the pedal’s send/receive channel. To get your amp
into the mood (or mode) for this, push and hold “Mute” and then activate any program
change button on your MIDI pedal. The amp will look for a program change and recognize
the channel it is being sent on. Then it will switch to this channel and stay there as soon as
you let go of “Mute”.
7.4.3 Single Channel Mode – Manual Channel Selection
If you would like to have your Hagen on a certain MIDI channel, then we can
accommodate you here as well. Here is how this works:
Push and hold “Mute” and then turn on the preamp channels in the order that corresponds
to your midi channel preference. For example: if you want to have your Hagen to respond
only to MIDI information that is being sent on channel 7, then you must hold the “Mute”
button down and turn the Preamp channel one selector off, channel two selector on,
channel 3 selector on, channel 4 selector off. If you let go of “Mute” now, then your Hagen
is set to respond to MIDI channel 7 only. Get it? The table below gives you the sequence for
all 16 MIDI channels.

Chapter Nine: Maintenance and Cleaning
9.1 Cleaning
Never use a wet method of cleaning the amplifier, i.e. any amplifier. Usually it is sufficient
to wipe down the outside of the amp with a slightly moist cleaning rag. Do not use abrasive
cleaning chemicals. Sometimes a vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust and dirt from
nooks and crevices. Do not remove the chassis from the housing to clean the amp. The
inside of your amp carries dangerous voltages.
9.2 Care
Be gentle with this amplifier. Any mechanical shocks and wide tem perature changes,
moisture-rich environments and extreme conditions (dust, wind, heat, cold, moisture) can
substantially shorten tube life, in some cases, even amplifier life.
Do not block the air circulation grilles in the front and in the back of the amp. Do not push
the amp right up against objects that would interfere with its normal airflow. The top of the
amplifier might get warm after prolonged use, this is normal, but will melt your ice cream
and definitely ruin your beer. Never put beverages on top of the amp where they could spill
and flow inside the amplifier. You’ll hate it if this happens, guaranteed!
9.3 Tube Change
Tube changes are only to be undertaken by authorized service personnel. If power tubes
with different values then the original ones are to be installed, then the amplifier must be
re-biased before operation can be resumed. The amplifier uses a three circuit bias
system. It is quick and easy to accomplish biasing, but involves removing the chassis and
use of specialized equipment for measuring currents inside the amplifier. Only trained
professionals should attempt this procedure.
