MATRIX™ 100 Manual
Foreword
Thank you for choosing a Hughes & Kettner®
product. With the MATRIX™ 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 MATRIX™ 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 MATRIX™’s sound
quality, fl exibility, performance and handling
convenience.
Your MATRIX™ 100’s nerve center is the innovative Autostore FX MATRIX™. For the fi rst 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 MATRIX™ 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, developed in a
joint effort with Celestion
®
, deliver the goods
– soul-stirring tone. When you power up and
plug in, you’ll hear 20 years of Hughes &
Kettner
®
amp engineering experience refl ected
in that tone.
Whether you opted for the combo or the head,
rest assured that the MATRIX™ 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, fi rebreathing WARP 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
MATRIX™ 100!

Overview of Control Features and
Connectors
1.1 Selecting channels and effect parameters
Use buttons 1 to 4 to select the MATRIX™ 100’s four channels,
CLEAN, CRUNCH, LEAD and WARP. 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’s 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 fi nd 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 MATRIX™ 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 MATRIX™ 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
MATRIX™ 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 fi t 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.
MATRIX™ 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!
MATRIX™ 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
