ATTAX 100™ Manual
Foreword
Thank you for choosing a Hughes & Kettner® product.
With the ATTAX 100™, you now own a unique
guitar-driven sound system that offers everything
you need to have a blast at rehearsals and on stage.
We factored the wishes and suggestions of many
guitarists into the design of the ATTAX 100™, aiming
to turn up a modern guitar amp that would stand as a
benchmark DFX amp. We accomplished what we set
out to achieve. No comparable amp comes close to
matching the ATTAX 100™’s sound quality, flexibility,
performance and handling convenience.
Your ATTAX 100™’s nerve center is the innovative Autostore FX MATRIX™. For the first time,
an amp in this class is able to store individual effect
settings separately for every channel. And it does
this automatically, without requiring additional
programming steps. Finally, an ingenious function has
arrived that makes the DFX amp a true gigging rig!
The ATTAX 100™ is equipped with a digital multi FX
processor offering popular effects such as REVERB,
DELAY, CHORUS, FLANGER and TREMOLO in
remarkably high quality. Four channels, a Current
Feedback power amp and 12" RockDriver Ultra
speakers deliver the goods – soul-stirring tone. When
you power up and plug in, you’ll hear 20 years of
Hughes & Kettner® amp engineering experience
reflected in that tone.
Whether you opted for the combo or the head, rest
assured that the ATTAX 100™ delivers the kind of
inspiring response that is sure to supercharge your
playing while practicing and performing on the big
stage. You wanted it all – powerful and G-force sound
pressure, crystal-clear clean sounds, creamy CRUNCH
and lead tones, fire-breathing ULTRA sounds, and
authentic effects. Now you got it, in a great, easily
handled gigging amp to boot.
Here’s wishing you tons of fun
with your new ATTAX 100™!

Overview of Control
Features and Connectors
1.1 Selecting channels and effect parameters
Use buttons 1 to 4 to select the ATTAX 100™’s four channels, CLEAN,
CRUNCH, LEAD and ULTRA. These buttons correspond to the buttons
on the included footswitch. When the footswitch is connected, buttons
1 to 4 serve display purposes only, and the footswitch switches
channels.
Use knobs 5 to 8 to adjust the effect for the given channel. The FX
MATRIX Autostore function automatically saves the edited effect
settings for every channel. You do not need to store settings separately.
Even if the amp is suddenly switched off or power fails, the FX MATRIX
will recall your settings.
1.2 Instrument inputs, channels and master volume
Connect your guitar to input 9. Please use high-quality shielded cords only.
Use knobs 10 to 21 to shape the sound and determine the volume of
individual channels. You’ll find a detailed description of the channels in
section 2. Knob 22 determines the amp’s overall volume level. Always
turn the MASTER knob all the way down – that is, counterclockwise as
far as it will go - before powering your amp up.
Knobs 10 to 22 work in the same tried-and-true manner as the controls
on a classic amp. These settings are not stored. This means that the
actual position of the knob determines the amp’s sounds.
1.3 Mains switch and mains socket
Use switch 23 to turn the ATTAX 100 on and off. Make a habit of
checking to make sure that the switch is set to the OFF position before
you connect the power cable to a mains power supply. The ATTAX 100
ships with a separate power cord that connects to socket 24. Please
ensure that the mains voltage matches the value indicated on the back
panel of the ATTAX 100™. Get in touch with your Hughes & Kettner®
dealer immediately if this is not the case or the included mains cord’s
plug does not fit into the wall outlet.
1.4 Speaker out
Use jack or jack pair 25, EXTERNAL SPEAKER or SPEAKERS, to connect
speakers. All speakers are connected in parallel for both the combo and
the head.
ATTAX 100™ COMBO
EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Connect cabinets with 8 ohms minimum
impedance to this jack. The impedance of connected speakers must
never be lower than 8 ohms!
ATTAX 100™ HEAD
SPEAKERS: You can connect two cabinets to the head. The minimum
impedance is 4 ohms; ensure your rig’s impedance never drops below
4 ohms! If you plug cabs into both jacks, each cabinet’s impedance
must be 8 ohms or higher. If you plug a cab into just one jack, its
impedance must be 4 ohms or higher.
1.5 Headphones out
Connect standard stereo headphones to jack 26, HEADPHONES.
Adjust the volume via the MASTER knob. Always plug in a stereo 1/4"
jack when connecting headphones. The headphones output may be
damaged if you insert a mono plug into the jack. The ATTAX 100™
speaker output is deactivated when a plug is inserted into this jack.
1.6 LINE OUT
Use jack 27, LINE OUT, (mono 1/4" jack) to patch out the amp’s signal,
including all effects, to another power amp or a DI box (for example,
the Hughes & Kettner® RED BOX®).
