Foreword

The Hughes & Kettner Statesman Series brings together for the fi rst
time what classic rock as well as blues & country guitarists have been
dreaming about for a long time: From early ‘60s open-back Clean to
early ‘80s stack-drive Cream

– and tons of top-drawer crunch tones
in between – these tone monsters deliver the dynamics and state-of­art features that make life on stage so sweet and simple. With the
marvelous new Statesman series, Hughes & Kettner has debunked the
myth that all classic tube amp designs lack versatility.

The Statesman models’ kinship with ‘60s-era forebears is obvious at
fi rst

glance – they share that familiar look & feel. Take a closer look,
though, and you will see its talents transcend mere mimicry, with two
sweet-sounding discrete channels!
Clean delivers the soulful shimmering tone of an open tube combo.
Its Twang switch lives up to its name by adding a healthy helping of
punchy high-mids that put the spank in funk and do the country twang
thang so well; even contemporary ballads benefi t from the upper
mids boost. Dial in a dab more gain, and dive into a world of dynamic
crunch tones and hair-trigger response to every subtlety of your touch.
The Drive channel offers more than merely more gain. It delivers
the secret ingredient that is so critical to a classic rock sound - the
powerful punch of a half-stack. The Gain knob takes you on a magical
mystery tour from a throaty mid-‘60s bark to a typical ‘70s rock
bite. The Boost button is a time machine, taking you and the amp’s
overdrive tone a few years down the road!

We wish you lots of fun with your Statesman!
Your Hughes & Kettner Team

Before the start-up

• Please read the safety notes on Page 42 to 44 before the start-up!

• A word of warning before you start-up your Statesman: It is loud!

High loudness levels can cause hearing damage.

• Ensure a suffi cient air supply to the amplifi er’s cooling surfaces.

Absolutely pay attention to a fi

xed storage space, which precludes

mechanical and thermal external infl

uences, and thus ensures the

operational safety of the equipment and the safety of individuals.

• The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for damages to the

appliance or to other devices which ensue through improper
operation.

Head Only

First plug the speaker cord into the appropriate output on the Head.
Do not use more than one of these outputs simultaneously! That is, use
either 1x4 ohms, 2x16 ohms, 1x8 ohms, or 1x16 ohms. Don’t mix and

match cabinets either, say by plugging a 4-ohm cabinet into the 4-ohm
output and a 16-ohm cabinet into the 16-ohm output.

Plug the other end of the cord into the speaker cabinet’s Input. This is
vital to every all-tube amp’s life! Power amps may be damaged when
tube amps are operated without a connected speaker load or at an
insuffi cient impedance level!

Combo Only

Check to ensure the cable to the internal speaker is connected properly
to the power amp (see fi gure).

Start-up

• Before connecting the Statesman to the power supply network, make

sure that the power switch is turned off and the indicated voltage
value on the back side (see illustration: next to the “Voltage Setting”
arrow) tallies with the local mains voltage.

• The illustration shows the 100/120 volt version as an example. The

indication of 100 volts is next to the arrow.
And so the amp may only be operated on
100 V mains voltage. If the indication on your
Statesman next to the arrow does not tally
with the voltage that you intend to operate
with, it must not be connected!

• In order to avoid unwanted surprises, you should always turn the

CLEAN VOLUME and the DRIVE MASTER controllers to the left stop
before turning the amp on.

• INPUT: Connect your guitar with this input. Please use only suitable,

shielded guitar cable.

• POWER: This switch opens the main current supply; the blue PILOT

LAMP lights up.

• Allow the tubes to warm up before you begin playing. Flip the

STANDBY switch to bring those glowing tubes to life.

1. Connections & Operating Elements

Front side

(from right to left)

INPUT

Input for guitar.

CLEAN CHANNEL

TWANG:

Switches the clean channel from classic British tonal

character to the attack-rich vintage Californian clean sound.

VOLUME: Regulates the volume and saturation of the CLEAN

channel. Saturated crunch sounds can be generated with higher
volume settings (depending on the guitar’s output level).

Equalizer BASS, MID, TREBLE: MID and TREBLE have a reciprocal

influence on each other: A high-frequency accentuation causes a mid­range reduction and vice versa.

CHANNEL SELECT: The illuminated pushbuttons serve for manually

switching between CLEAN (amber) and DRIVE (red) channels. This
switching function is executable via foot switch.

DRIVE CHANNEL

BOOST:

Boosts selected frequency ranges in the DRIVE channel. Even

more creamy sounds will be achieved this way. This switching function
is executable via foot switch.

GAIN: Regulates the degree of overdrive in the DRIVE channel.
Equalizer BASS, MID, TREBLE: MID and TREBLE have a reciprocal

influence on each other: A high-frequency accentuation causes a mid­range reduction and vice versa.

MASTER: Regulates the volume of the DRIVE channel.

PRESENCE

This knob determines the overtone content for all channels.

REVERB

Regulates the overall intensity of the integrated Accutronics® spring
reverb. The spring reverb is also capable of being activated via foot
switch.

STANDBY

This switch controls the high voltage power supply to the tubes. When
engaged, anode voltage is applied to the tubes‘ filaments only so that
the tubes remain warm and ready to rock. When taking a short break
from playing, please use STANDBY rather than ON/OFF so the tubes
remain at operating temperature.

MAINS ON/OFF

This button switches the main power supply on and tubes the
opportunity to warm up for the work ahead.

Back side (from left to right)

REVERB BALANCE

Regulates the ratio of reverberation between the CLEAN and DRIVE
channels.

2ND VOLUME

This feature was integrated in order to allow spontaneous volume
control which can be operated by foot. Especially for soloing, you can
quite elegantly “make yourself heard”. The 2ND VOLUME controller
regulates the difference in volume to the MASTER controller of the
DRIVE channel, i.e. it is dependant on its position and increases and/or
reduces the volume to the preset value. Turned to the left, the 2ND
VOLUME corresponds to half the volume of the MASTER, turned to the
right, you get one and a half times the volume. This function can only
be activated with the included footswitch FS -3N!

FX-LOOP

External ef fects can be looped-in via the effect path. In this connection,
SEND is linked with the input and RETURN is linked with the output
of the effect device. The FX-loop is also capable of being activated via
foot switch.

FX Level

This switch cuts the FX SEND’s output level by 10 dB and boosts the
FX RETURN’s input sensitivity by 10 dB to match the FX loop to the
effect device’s input level. Press this button when using processors
designed to handle instrument levels.

english

SERIAL/PARALLEL

SmartLoop™ is a special effects routing circuit of fering a switchable
parallel/serial effects loop. In parallel mode the processed signal is
added to the original signal of the preamp. In serial mode (SERIAL is
activated), SmartLoop™ works like a conventional serial ef fects loop.

FOOTSWITCHES

Statesman offers two connectors for footswitches. The connector for
the Hughes & Kettner FS-3N switches the channels, and in the DRIVE
channel the BOOST on/off and 2ND VOLUME on/off. 2 way or 1 way
foot switches can also be connected. With 2 way switches there is
no access to the 2ND VOLUME, the 1 way switch only switches the
channels. The second connection, e.g. for the Hughes & Kettner FS-2,
turns the internal spring reverb or the FX-LOOP on/off. Here also the
1 way foot switch can be connected; in this case only the FX-LOOP is
operated.

LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS

You have one 4-ohm output, a pair of 16-ohm outputs or one 8­ohm output, and a 16-ohm output available for connecting speaker
cabinets of various impedances. Always ensure cabinets are connected
properly. Operating a tube amp with the wrong impedance or without
a connected speaker can damage it.

Note:

You may of course connect several cabinets to one port, even if they
have different impedances. Usually speaker cabinets are connected
in parallel. Two cabinets of the same impedance connected in parallel
have half the impedance of a single cabinet. For example, if you have
two 8-ohm cabinets, you must connect these to the 4-ohm output.
If you connect two cabinets with different impedances (R1, R2) in
parallel, the resulting resistance (R) is calculated by multiplying the
two individual resistances and dividing their product by the sum of the
individual resistances.

Use the following formula to do this: R = (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2)

Take as an example a one 8-ohm and one 16-ohm cabinet:
R = (8 x 16) / (8 + 16)
R = 128 / 24
R = 5.33

The cabinets’ impedance may never be lower than the amp’s output
impedance, so this combination must be connected to the 4-ohm
output. However, we strongly advise against configuring setups with
mismatched cabinets, and highly recommend using combinations of
cabinets with the same impedance!

2. Standard Set Up / Cabling

3. Tubes, Servicing & Maintenance

STATESMAN is factory-loaded with selected tubes. Once they’ve
been burned in – that is, operated continuously under a load –they
are subjected to a rigorous selection process. Their electrical specs
and mechanical status (microphonics) are checked, and then they are
installed in an amp and their sonic performance is auditioned. One of
the most important steps in this process is tube matching, whereby
tubes with the same characteristics are teamed up in matched sets of
power tubes.

When to Replace Tubes

The tubes in STATESMAN are exemplary in terms of quality, workman­ship and long service life. Nonetheless, tubes show definite signs
of wear when their service life is nearing its end. Telltale signs are
increased microphonics, noise and hiss, muddier tone through loss
of high-end frequencies, degraded performance, etc. Take these
indications seriously and replace old tubes. Not only do these side
effects take their toll on sound quality, they also indicate the aging
tube will soon fail!

Note:

Replacing tubes for experimentation purposes is not recommended.
Installing the wrong tubes will damage the amp and cost you a lot
more than you bargained for in repair costs. Before you start swapping
tubes, ask yourself these questions:

• Was the fault or failure of the tube caused by the tube itself or by a

flawed peripheral device or component, perhaps a defective speaker

Statesman Series

cable? If you don’t get to the bottom of the problem and remedy it,
it may crop up again even after you replace the tubes.

• Did the Mains voltage fluctuate or spike while the amp was on? In

all-tube amps, over-voltage surges in the Mains net can certainly
cause drop-outs. Over-voltages are often caused by generators and
faulty high-current power circuits.

• Perhaps a fuse blew even though none of the tubes is actually

defective? An old fuse, tube de-ionization or Mains voltage power
surges may have triggered the fuse.

Things to Bear in Mind When Replacing Tubes

Replacing tubes is a job best left to qualified professionals!
Accordingly, the following guidelines are addressed and apply to
qualified service technicians only:

• Pull Statesman’s Mains plug and allow for a discharge time of at least

two minutes before removing the chassis from the rear of the amp.

• The upright mounted preamp and power amp tubes of all Statesman

combos are seated in a self-contained chamber that is easily
accessible from outside. And so they are optimally protected against
vibrations through the loudspeaker’s vibrations.

• After removal of the protective grid, the measuring points and

controller for setting the correct bias current and the heating
symmetry (“hum balance”) are also directly accessible.

• The illustration shows (from left to right) the aperture for the bias

trimmer, the jumpers to the measuring points, and the aperture
for the trimmer to the hum balance. The two trimmers may not be

mixed up, since otherwise there is a danger of output stage damage
through excessively high current in the tube!

Absolutely pay attention to preparations and chronological order!

1. Turn off the device

2. Exchange tubes

3. Remove all jumpers

4. In tubes with the same characteristic curve, do not change the

position of the bias trimmer. In tubes with unknown characteristic
curve, turn the bias trimmer to the right-side stop (lowest current).

5. Turn on the device

6. Measure and adjust the bias current (equivalent voltage): The

jumpers bypass a shunt resistor. When removing the jumpers, the
cathode current can be determined via the exposed pins through
a voltage measurement. The following applies in this connection:
1 mV is equivalent to 1 mA. The order of the jumpers from left
to right corresponds to the order of the appurtenant tubes from
left to right. The bias current is correctly adjusted if a voltage
between 16 and 21 mV is applied to the pins (between the upper
and lower pin of the respective jumper) with all tubes. If this
voltage range cannot be adjusted to all tubes, the divergent tubes
must be exchanged and a suitable tube must be found. For this
reason Hughes & Kettner offers selected tube sets with similar
characteristic curves.

7. Turn off the device

8. Put on all jumpers. Attention: Do not forget to put the jumpers on
again after successful alignment! Never operate the amp without
jumpers!

9. Turn on the device

10. Carry out hum balance Basic setting: Switch the amp to CLEAN,
turn VOLUME, TREBLE and MID to the left-side stop, and turn
BASS to the right-side stop. With the help of the trimmer, look for
a setting in which the lowest humming emerges.

11. Mount the protective grid again

4. Sources Possible Error/

Troubleshooting

Mains connection: STATESMAN
won’t power up when you switch it on.

• It‘s not getting AC power. Check the Mains cord to see if it is

connected and

firmly seated.

• The Mains fuse is defective. Ensure it is replaced with another fuse

bearing the same rating.

• The local Mains voltage does not match Statesman’s operating

voltage

Available Voltages and How to Adapt Them

Statesman ships in two versions rated for 110/120V and 220-240V.
You will

find the rating indicated on the housing above the Mains
socket. Both models offer two operating voltages that are selected
using the voltage selector integrated in the Mains socket. Ensure that
the Mains voltage matches the voltage rating appearing in the voltage
selector window. This value is legible when the amp is in the standard
operating position, that is, placed right side up. The upright number
indicates the currently selected voltage, and the inverted number
indicates the alternative voltage. Check also the fuse ratings to ensure
they match the ratings indicated on the rear panel. Voltage selection
and fuse replacement may be performed by experienced service
technicians only.

Accordingly, the following notes are addressed exclusively to service
technicians:

• Use a small flat screwdriver to remove the voltage selector from the

Mains socket.

• If the fuse is defective, replace it with a fuse bearing the specified

rating.

• Turn the voltage selector and insert it back into the port so that the

desired Mains voltage rating is legible and appears at the top left
(next to the “Voltage Setting” arrow).

Statesman is connected properly, but no sound is audible.

• The guitar’s VOLUME knob is turned all the way down.

• The amp’s VOLUME knob is turned all the way down.

• The ef fects loop is active and set to SERIAL, but no effect device is

connected.

• The anode fuse has blown. Ensure that it is replaced with a

fuse of the same rating.

• The fuse for the tube heating tripped (the tubes don’t glow). Ensure

that it is replaced with a fuse bearing the same rating.

The amp makes ringing noises
when played and tends to Feedback.

• One or several tubes are microphonic. Replace the defective tube

with another of the same type.

Signs of tube wear such as increased microphonics and
noise, Treble loss, weak power output or muddy sound begin
reappearing just a few hours after replacing tubes.

• The wrong tubes were installed when old tubes were replaced or

the amp was not biased properly. Take the amp to a professional to
correct the problem.
