Duotone™ Head
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the
Hughes & Kettner® Duotone™!
Your choice would indicate that you're one of a select group of players
who know exactly what they want - a bona-fide, all-tube amp - and
won't settle for anything less.Beyond that, you undoubtedly have a
very definite, unique sense of what your tone and amp should be all
about.
The Hughes & Kettner® Custom Tube Series models are all amps with
distinctive personalities tailored to individual expression. Built for tube
purists, each amp in this line is a no-frills, straightforward original.
Each one delivers the goods in terms of tone, quality of components,
workmanship and aesthetic design, living up to the most discerning
standards - no ifs, ands or buts.
The Duotone™ is a no-compromise design dedicated to creating
absolutely classic rock sounds. As its name would suggest, the
Duotone™ offers two distinct tonal worlds. There's the rough-and-
ready Overdrive Channel that packs a mighty wallop and the Clean
Channel with dynamics galore. Plus, with the benefit of the Overdrive
Channel's Boost circuit, you have enormous Gain reserves to dial in
everything from a touch of grit for classic rock riffing to high Gain for
singing leads. The Duotone™ delivers tube tone pure and simple:
even the parallel effects loop is served by a tube. There is not a single
transistor in the entire signal path.
The hallmarks of the Duotone™ are not only its exceptional sound
quality but also its reliability and stage-worthiness. All amps of the
Custom Tube Series ship with tubes that satisfy the highest standards
for quality and assure maximum reliability under even the most
arduous operating conditions. With two Footswitch-selectable Master
volumes and a healthy 100 watts of tube-driven Power, the Duotone™
is a joy to play - with it you'll feel at home on any stage.
These qualities and its unique aesthetics make the Duotone™
a highly individual amp for equally individual guitarists.
We wish you all the fun and success in the world with the tone of
your new Duotone™!
Before Powering up!

identical before you plug the Duotone™'s mains cable (Power cord)
into an AC outlet.

slots.

improper use.

Although we select our tubes according to the highest standards
for quality, these are nonetheless sensitive components. Their service
life may be shortened considerably by improper handling. Just like
a top-notch athlete, they need to warm up before they're off to the
races. Always Power the amp up in Standby mode and wait one to
two minutes before you flip the switch from Standby mode to ON.
