HOW TO CONNECT AN EFFECTOR:

• Connect the FX SEND jack to the input and the

FX RETURN jack to the output of your effects

device.

• Use high-quality patch cords only to avoid signal

loss, background noise and drop-outs.

• Ensure that the effect device is not being over-

driven. Keep an eye on whatever type of level

meter, gain indicator or overload lamp the

effects device is equipped with, and adjust its

input and output controls accordingly.

• Unless you have a jones of lo-fi effects, distortion

devices simply don’t belong in an FX loop. Any

kind of device that compresses the signal should

be connected first in the signal chain.

Depending on the type of effect you want to

achieve, it may be preferable to plug a

compressor to the amp's input.

• Other stompboxes should also be plugged into

the front panel input.

4.3 THE WARP 7™ AND AUXILIARY

POWERAMPS

Connect FX-SEND (+ 6 dB output level with the

power amp’s line input. This port’s output level is

independent of the MASTER volume knob. -Again,

use high-quality patch cords only to avoid signal

loss, background noise and drop-outs.

4.4 THE WARP 7™ AND MIXING CONSOLES

When you want to connect the WARP 7™ to a

mixer, we recommend that you patch the signal

through a HUGHES & KETTNER

RED BOX

PRO first.

Connect it to the amp’s FX SEND jack. Here too,

the output level is independent of the MASTER

knob setting. The RED BOX

balances the signal

and simulates the sound of speakers. A RED BOX

may also be inserted between the speaker out

and the speakers. In this scenario, the output level

depends on the MASTER knob setting.

5.0 SERVICE AND PREVENTIVE

MAINTENANCE

The WARP 7™ amp does not require any type of

regular maintenance, and there are no user-

serviceable parts inside. However, there are a few

precautions you would be well-advised to take

because they will extend the life of your amp

tremendously:

• Make sure all peripheral devices, cords and cables

are in a state of good repair!

• Defective speaker cables (shorted cables, loose

connections) are by far the most common cause of

power amp failure.

• Low-quality patch cords lack adequate shielding;

they are noisy and often the source of annoying hum.

• Ensure plenty of air can circulate around your amp's

ventilation areas (that is, the back of the amp‘s

chassis) at all times.

• Definitely avoid exposure to mechanical shocks and

extreme heat, dust and particularly moisture.

• Be picky about the kind of peripheral devices that

you connect to your amp and always check out their

specs before you plug them in. Never connect

devices with high output signal levels (e.g. power

amps) to your amp's input.

• Be sure the AC power source delivers the current that

your amp is designed to handle before you plug it in.

When in doubt about the local rating, ask the venue's

sound technician or a stage hand.

• Refrain from DIY repairs! Be sure to take your to an

experienced technician when internal fuses need

replacing.

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the exterior surface of

the WARP 7™.

6.0 POSSIBLE ERROR SOURCES/

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

6.1 The WARP 7™ won’t power up when you

switch it on:

• It‘s not getting AC power. Check the mains

cable to see if it‘s connected properly!

• The mains fuse is defective. Replace it another

fuse bearing the identical rating. If another

defect occurs, please get in touch with your

local HUGHES & KETTNER dealer.
