Henriksen Ampliers
Thank you for purchasing your Henriksen Amplier, we hope you enjoy
playing it as much as we enjoyed building it!
Since 2006 our mission has been to empower the working musician by
creating truly gig-able amplication solutions which are extremely portable,
durable, versatile in function and have the highest possible tonal quality.
We accomplish this by manufacturing all products ourselves; choosing
to locally source all possible materials, auditing and inspecting every
component and individually play testing every single amplier before we
ship it. We will neither build nor sell anything you cannot rely on at the
professional level, and we take as much pride in our customer service
as we do in our products. Please always feel free to contact us with any
questions, comments, or a shop tour if you’re in the Denver area, and
thank you again for your business.
Peter Henriksen, Owner

INPUT GAIN
The INPUT GAIN control is to accommodate a variety of instrument outputs.
There is no one correct input gain setting, so the input gain control setting
should be experimented with in concert with the volume control setting for the
best results for any given application. For higher output pickups, active pickups,
condenser mics, or effect devices, the input gain may be reduced to avoid un-
wanted distortion. For lower output devices, such as piezo-electric transducers or
dynamic mics, the input gain may be increased to maximize overall output. Each
application will be different, so start with the control at 12:00 and go from there.
INPUT JACK
The Bud has a 1⁄4”/XLR combo INPUT jack on each channel. This jack may be
used to plug in a standard 1⁄4” instrument cable or an XLR cable. The XLR is
unswitched 48-volt phantom powered, so refer to the device manufacturer to
conrm compatibility.

AUX IN
channel 1 has an 1/8” auxiliary input . This stereo input will defeat the regular
1⁄4”/XLR combo INPUT jack on channel 1 when in use, and the EQ will affect
whatever you plug into the aux in.
5-BAND EQUALIZER
A little goes a long way, so start with all dials set to the 12:00 (neutral) position.
The EQ ranges from LOW (80Hz) to HIGH (7.2kHz). Each EQ knob should be
thought of as a volume control that increases or decreases the volume level of its
designated frequency range. Because the sound will vary from room to room,
it is advisable to experiment with positioning the amp in conjunction with the
EQ settings. For example, for the best bass response your Bud should be set
on the oor.
BRIGHT SWITCH
Channel 2 has a bright switch. When turned on, the bright switch increases the
higher frequencies of the signal before going to the EQ. Note: If the input gain is
set to 9:00 or below, the bright switch will have little effect.

LINE OUT
The LINE OUT is both channels, post-EQ and post-reverb, and provides a
balanced, low impedance signal for use with mixing boards, PA systems, or
recording.
HEADPHONE JACK
The HEADPHONE jack will defeat the main speaker (but not the extension
speaker output) and is post-EQ and post-reverb. CAUTION: Listening to
headphones at high volumes can cause permanent hearing loss.
EXTENSION SPEAKERS
A second speaker cabinet can be connected to the parallel EXTENSION
SPEAKER output, which will not disconnect the internal speaker. Any extension
cabinet must be a minimum of 8 ohms and able to handle over 100 watts. DO
NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT AN EXTENSION SPEAKER WHILE THE
AMPLIFIER IS ON.
POWER AND FUSES
The Bud is 120 watts and is factory set to either 115 volt or 230 volt power,
depending on the country to which it was originally shipped. The voltage can
be changed internally; please contact Henriksen, Inc. or your dealer for specic
instructions. 230 volt amps require a 1A 250V slow blow fuse. 115 volt amps
require a 1.6A 250V slow blow fuse.
FX LOOPS
The FX loops send the signal from the amp post-EQ and return it pre-reverb.
(FX Loop detail on page 5)

TWEETER DEFEAT SWITCH
The tweeter is connected via a high-pass lter, using this switch allows you to
toggle the tweeter on and off without changing the sound coming through the
main driver.

WARRANTY
(Please take a moment to register at www.henriksenampliers.com/register). Our 2-year
warranty covers repairs not caused by abuse. Henriksen, Inc. or a licensed repair shop must
complete all repairs. Contact your dealer or Henriksen, Inc. directly for service.
FX LOOPS (CONT)
There is a switch to send level from +4db line level
to -10db instrument level, most devices will work
best with the switch set to line level.
The jack is a Tip/Ring/Sleeve type, where the tip is
the send and the ring is the return.
To use the FX loop you will need a send/return
Y-cable.

Since we upgraded The Bud line to have TRS
effect loops, we have had so many people ask
where they can nd a Y-split cable to use it with that
we just decided to sell them ourselves. These are
10′ long snake cables, with 2′ of Y-split on the send
and return sides.
High quality, hand built instrument cables with a
