The Hughes

Kettner

BATT

has been developed in

conjunction with bass manufacturer ESH and German

bassist Peter Sonntag. It has been fine-tuned to meet

the requirements of demanding bass players. The

BATT

is a compact“Bass Sound Machine” which

enables you to obtain great tube tone with the utmost

of ease. The tone controls are very effective and

precise, and the boost functions offer instanteanous

access

to several fundamentally different kinds of

sound. A full complement of connecting jacks make

the

BATT

ideal in a broad range of applications from

rehearsal to studio to stage.

CONTROLS AND CONNECTION JACKS

INPUT: The

BATT

has two input jacks, on the front and one at the back The

input sensitivity of both are equal, and either can accommodate active or passive

basses. The front panel input has priority, i.e. Instrument Input 2 on the back is

automatically disconnected when the front panel jack is in use.

GAIN:

The gain potentiometer controls the input level and thereby the sound

characteristics of the preamp tubes. At low gain settings the

BATT

imbues the bass

with warmth and fullness, and at medium levels delivers a fairly raw rock punch.

From center settings onward, depending on the output level of the instrument

itself, the preamp tubes add more and more harmonic distortion, thus intensifying

the sound of the bass with characteristic tube overdrive.

MASTER: The MASTER control affects the overall output level of the signal at

the LINE OUT and INSTRUMENT OUT jacks (assuming the TUBE/BYPASS

switch in the back of the unit is in TUBE

position),

but does not affect the PA

OUT, which remains a constant line-level signal,

nor

the SPEAKER

volume of which is controlled soley by the GAIN.

OUT, the

TONE: The control

labeled

TONE is a “one-knob tweaker” which can

sweep the

entire frequency range

from

powerful “cellar-bass” to the most transparent highs.

Left of center (range from 30 Hz to 150 Hz), the low end will be boosted by a

preset amount between + 4

dB.

the center position both the bass

and the treble receive a slight boost. Roight of center (range from 3 KHz to 15

KHz) the high end receives an ever- increasing amount of boost ranging from + 4

to + 22

dB,

with a simultaneous reduction in bass.

BOOST SWITCHES: The three black pushbutton-switches for Bass, Mid, and

Treble, are specially contoured to offer a dramatic amount of tonal control

instantaneously.

BASS: Boosts the frequency range

from

80 to 400 Hz by approximately + 6

dB,

bringing out fundamentals more strongly and adding a

clearly

audible “punch” in the

low bass region.

MID: Boosts the range between 500 Hz and 2 KHz by approximately

adding

clarity to the attack of each note, and providing the necessary penetration in band

situations.

TREBLE: Boosts the entire frequency range between 1 KHz and 20 KHz by

approximately + 8

This emphasizes the harmonics inherent in the instrument,

adding bite and sparkle overall. The TREBLE boost in combination with the TONE

control is capable of producing some extraordinarily bright sounds.

LINE

PRE

POST

POWER AMP

With this switch, to the right of the three boost

switches, you can select whether the signal appearing at the LINE OUT jack is tapped

immediately after the preamp tube, or whether it goes through the power amp tube as

well

Your choice will have a considerable effect on the overall sound. By fine tuning

the GALN and MASTER controls while using alternate settings of this switch, you can

uncover further sound variations, from clear, to gritty, to growlly, to all-out overdrive.

TUBE AMP

BYPASS SWITCH: This switch on the back of the unit will

normally be set to TUBE. The LED next to the INPUT on the front panel will

confirm this by being illuminated in tube mode and dim in bypass mode. In normal

operation the signal runs through the tube section and appears at the LINE OUT,

SPEAKER OUT, PA OUT, and INSTRUMENT OUT jacks. In bypass mode, the PA

OUT jack is inoperative, thus allowing you in a live situation to tune up or swap

instruments easily without being heard by the audience through the house system. The

TUBE/ BYPASS function can also be switched using a conventional on-off footswitch.

AMP FOR ALL SEASONS:

The

Bass Advanced Tube Technology Amp

Preamp possesses a versatile array of

jacks making the

BATT

at home in every conceivable situation, be it stage, studio,

or practice. You can connect it to any speaker cabinet directly and use it as a

practice amp head. You can connect it directly to a mixing console or multitrack

recorder and use it as a studio quality bass preamp. You can connect it to a power

amp and bass cabinet, using it as a live preamp. Or you can add it to an existing

bass rig. (The

BATT

with its Advanced Tube

Technology

will breathe life into any

sterile amp!)

SPEAKER

OUT:

the SPEAKER OUT jack on the rear

panel of the unit is specially designed for

direct connection to any desired speaker

cabinet. The built-in 5 watt valve power

amp (EL

84)

is more than adequate for

home practice or accompaniment. Like

the signals for the other outputs, the

SPEARER OUT can be switched to PRE

or POST power amp: it delivers the same

level whichever option is selected

PA OUT:

for connecting to the stage box during

live gigs where a PA system is being used.

The PA OUT signal delivers a constant

LINE LEVEL SIGNAL and is therefore

unaffected by the MASTER pot setting.

However, gain, tone control and boost

functions are still operative. When the

TUBE

BYPASS switch is in BYPASS

position, the PA OUT jack receives no

signal, thus making it convenient to tune,

or change basses.

LINEOUT:

used to feed the power amplifier when

the

BATT

is acting as a preamplifier in a

complete rig. The output from the

BATT

is connected to the input of the power

amplifier, and the output of the power

amp is connected to the speaker cabinet.

The LINE OUT signal can also be used

as an alternative to the INSTRUMENT

OUT jack when connecting the

BATT

an external preamp, although it is impor-

tant to ensure correct level matching.

INSTRUMENT

OUT:

The INSTRUMENT OUT is designed as

a signal path for connecting the

BATT

an external amp or preamp, or for

connecting two

BATT

preamps together.

TUBE position, the GAIN

MASTER

section and the tone controls can be used

to control the signal. In BYPASS, the

signal is

preamplified

but unaffected by

the tone control setting.

THE

STUDIO:

To feed a signal directly from the

BATT

to a line input on the mixing console or

tape recorder, you have a choice of three

outputs: the PA OUT (in which case the

signal level is independent of the

MASTER volume setting), the LINE

OUT, and the INSTRUMENT OUT. No

space or volume problems, no miking

hassles, just full-bodied sound is available

in an instant.

RACK MOUNTING

BASS MASTER STAGEBOARD: The

BATT

can be

used as a stand-alone preamp or as an extension to an existing system. Hughes

Kettner offer special single and twin adaptors to faciliate 19” rack mounting.

STAGEBOARD is optionally available for easy on-stage

switching of two units (Unit1

Bypass

THE STAGE/LIVE SET-UP FOOTSWITCH:

A jack for connecting the

BATT

STAGEBOARD, designed to faciliate

on-stage switching between different

sounds such as two different

BATTs.

The

INSTRUMENT OUT socket of the

first

unit

is connected to the INPUT of

the second. The second unit‘s LINE

OUT jack is then used to control the

amplifier/speaker combination for the

stage sound. The PA OUT signal of each

unit can be connected to a separate

channel on the mixing console, and the

STAGEBOARD connected to both can

switch between the two.

BATT SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION

The sounds suggested

here can only be rough indication, as they will vary

considerably depending on the instrument used and your playing technique. Once

you have set-up a basic sound which you like, the boost functions and the

pre/post

power amp switch provide instant access to different sounds.

“STRAIGHT

ROCK”:

For raw valve sounds, turn gain little over half way. MID BOOST is activated,

LINE

PRE/POST

switched to POST power amp.

2. “SLAP

ATTACK”:

Set GAIN

between

4 and 5, emphasize the bass region with the tone control

activate BASS and TREBLE BOOST and set the switch to POST POWER AMP.
