SAFETY GUIDELINES

Please keep in mind that the tube inside the unit operates
on high voltage. Do not open the TUBEMAN. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. For service or repairs take the
device to a certified technician only.
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing
the Hughes & Kettner TUBEMAN.
The new TUBEMAN has been designed specifically for
recording electric guitar without the hassles of miking, but
with authentic tube tone and full, rich cabinet sound.
The TUBEMAN has a special frequency- compensated
output for connecting directly to a recording console. This
output also lets you use the TUBEMAN as a backup amp
live on stage straight into the mixing console. A second
output allows the TUBEMAN to serve as a preamp for
connecting to a separate power amp and guitar cabinet,
or to the FX RETURN of an existing guitar amp. The three
footswitches make channel-switching easy, and the ten
control knobs offer a broad range of tonal control. With its
unique features and no-compromise quality, the TUBEMAN
gives you the right tools to expand the scope of your
musical expression.
2. JACKS AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
2.1 INPUT:
Connect this TUBEMAN input jack to the output of your
guitar.
2.2 To Mixer:
This circuit features an integrated Red Box Pro. Connect this
output to the input of a mixing console or recording
device.
2.3 To Guitar Power Amp:
This output delivers an unfiltered signal which you can route
directly to a discrete power amp and guitar cabinet, or to
the power amp of your guitar combo amp, for example
via your amp's FX RETURN. It is also possible to patch this
signal to a standard guitar amp's instrument input, but we
do not recommend using the new TUBEMAN this way. The
new TUBEMAN is optimized for direct recording. (If you're
looking for the ultimate pedal to use in-line between your
guitar and the instrument
recommend the new Hughes & Kettner TUBE FACTOR,
which is optimized specifically for that purpose.)
2.4 Socket for the AC power supply.
Use only the Hughes & Kettner PSA 0812.
