MATRIX™ Manual
Foreword
Thank you for choosing a Hughes & Kettner
®
product.
With the MATRIX™, 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™, 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, flexibility, performance and
handling convenience.
Your MATRIX™’s nerve center is the inno-
vative Autostore FX MATRIX™. For the first 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™ 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 deliver the goods – soul-stirring tone. When
you power up and plug in, you’ll hear 20 years of
Hughes & Kettner
®
amp engineering experience
reflected 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, fire-breathing 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™!
