MATRIX™ 100 Manual
Foreword
Thank you for choosing a Hughes & Kettner®
product. With the MATRIX™ 100, 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™ 100, 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™ 100’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™ 100 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, developed in a
joint effort with Celestion®, 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™ 100!

Overview of Control Features and
Connectors
1.1 Selecting channels and effect parameters
Use buttons 1 to 4 to select the MATRIX™ 100’s four channels,
CLEAN, CRUNCH, LEAD and WARP. These buttons correspond
to the buttons on the included footswitch. When the footswitch
is connected, buttons 1 to 4 serve display purposes only, and
the footswitch switches channels.
Use knobs 5 to 8 to adjust the effect for the given channel. The
FX MATRIX’s Autostore function automatically saves the edited
effect settings for every channel. You do not need to store
settings separately. Even if the amp is suddenly switched off or
power fails, the FX MATRIX™ will recall your settings.
1.2 Instrument inputs, channels and master volume
Connect your guitar to input 9. Please use high-quality shielded
cords only.
Use knobs 10 to 21 to shape the sound and determine the
volume of individual channels. You’ll find a detailed description
of the channels in section 2. Knob 22 determines the amp’s
overall volume level. Always turn the MASTER knob all the way
down – that is, counterclockwise as far as it will go - before
powering your amp up.
Knobs 10 to 22 work in the same tried-and-true manner as
the controls on a classic amp. These settings are not stored.
This means that the actual position of the knob determines the
amp’s sounds.
1.3 Mains switch and mains socket
Use switch 23 to turn the MATRIX™ 100 on and off. Make a
habit of checking to make sure that the switch is set to the OFF
position before you connect the power cable to a mains power
supply. The MATRIX™ 100 ships with a separate power cord
that connects to socket 24. Please ensure that the mains
voltage matches the value indicated on the back panel of the
MATRIX™ 100. Get in touch with your Hughes & Kettner®
dealer immediately if this is not the case or the included mains
cord’s plug does not fit into the wall outlet.
1.4 Speaker out
Use jack or jack pair 25, EXTERNAL SPEAKER or SPEAKERS,
to connect speakers. All speakers are connected in parallel for
both the combo and the head.
MATRIX™ 100 COMBO
EXTERNAL SPEAKER: Connect cabinets with 8 ohms minimum
impedance to this jack. The impedance of connected speakers
must never be lower than 8 ohms!
MATRIX™ 100 HEAD
SPEAKERS: You can connect two cabinets to the head. The
minimum impedance is 4 ohms; ensure your rig’s impedance
never drops below 4 ohms! If you plug cabs into both jacks,
each cabinet’s impedance must be 8 ohms or higher. If you

plug a cab into just one jack, its impedance must be 4 ohms or
higher.
1.5 Headphones out
Connect standard stereo headphones to jack 26, HEADPHONES.
Adjust the volume via the MASTER knob. Always plug in a
stereo 1/4" jack when connecting headphones. The headphones
output may be damaged if you insert a mono plug into the jack.
The MATRIX™ 100 speaker output is deactivated when a plug
is inserted into this jack.
1.6 LINE OUT
Use jack 27, LINE OUT, (mono 1/4" jack) to patch out the amp’s
signal, including all effects, to another power amp or a DI box
(for example, the Hughes & Kettner®RED BOX).
1.7 CD/LINE INPUT
Use jack 28, CD/LINE INPUT, to patch in any type of line signal.
For example, you could plug in a CD player to play along with
a recorded track. Use a cord equipped with stereo 1/4" jack
plugs to do this. Adjust the level using knob 22, MASTER
VOLUME.
1.8 FX SEND/RETURN
Connect an effect device’s output to jack 29, FX RETURN;
connect an effect device’s input to jack 30, FX SEND. The
effects loop is a serial circuit, so adjust the effect amount (or
wet-to-dry balance) at the effect device. The entire preamp
signal is routed through the inserted effector and processed
there. Please note that your rig’s sound quality depends to
a considerable extent on the quality of the employed effect
device. A poor-quality signal processor can have an adverse
effect on the MATRIX™ 100’s sound quality.
•Use high-quality patch cords only to prevent signal loss,
background noise and drop-outs.
•Ensure that the effect device is not being overdriven. Be sure
to 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.
•Fuzz boxes, overdrives and distortion units don’t belong in an
FX loop. Plug them into the amp’s input.
1.9 FOOTSWITCH
Your MATRIX™ 100 comes with a four-way footswitch that
plugs into jack 31. The buttons on the footswitch correspond
to buttons 1 to 4 on the MATRIX™ 100’s front panel. When
the footswitch is plugged into the amp, buttons 1 to 4 serve
display purposes only, and the footswitch switches channels.
1.9.1 FX ON/OFF
Especially for live performances, the Matrix™ 100 enables you
to turn the internal effects on and off individually, in addition
to the 4 switchable channels. To do this, you need to con-
nect a footswitch to the stereo 32 FX ON/OFF jack. Using a
simple footswitch (such as the Hughes & Kettner®FS-1) will
enable you to switch the modulation effects and DELAY at the
same time, leaving REVERB unaffected. You can use a double
footswitch (such as the Hughes & Kettner®FS-2) to switch the
modulation effects and DELAY, and REVERB seperately.
2The MATRIX™ 100’s four Channels
2.1 CLEAN
The Clean is channel is tweaked to sound sweet when driven by
single-coil as well as humbucking pickups.
2.1.1 CLEAN VOL
Adjusts the CLEAN channel’s volume level. Players who opt for
this class of amp demand a clean channel with enough head-
room to ensure it remains clean. This amp certainly does that.
Depending on the pickups’ output power, you may also be able
to dial in a touch of grit. For single-coils, we recommend that
you turn the knob well up. Do this, and the amp will reward
you with tight &punchy midrange response that is both crisp
and fat. If your axe sports humbuckers, set this knob some-
where around the 12 o’clock position for crystal-clear clean
tone.
2.1.2 Clean Voicing Section: BASS, MID and TREBLE
knobs. MID and TREBLE controls influence each other, as is
standard and desirable in the tube amps that this voicing
section is patterned on. If you boost the high end, mids are cut
and vice versa. This sound-shaping feature lets you to dial in a
wide variety of subtle tonal variations. We recommend that you
go easy on the bass for the CLEAN channel. Generally, the more
mids you dial in, the more assertive your clean tone in the
band’s soundscape. Note that the TREBLE knob shapes your
guitar signal’s bell-like overtones.
2.2 CRUNCH
Overdriven sounds à la carte! This channel covers a diverse
tonal spectrum ranging from squeaky clean to gritty overdrive.
It responds to every nuance in your picking attack, granting you
precise control over the amount of overdrive via your guitar‘s
volume knob. Higher CRUNCH knob settings elicit warm
sustain that is ideal for singing leads with breathy dynamics.
2.2.1 CRUNCH GAIN
Controls the CRUNCH channel’s input sensitivity and thus the
amount of saturation. You can dial in anything from tone that
is just sweet enough to pass for clean to throaty tones that are
distinctly rough around the edges. Again, crank the knob for
single-coils; back it off a bit for humbuckers.
2.2.2 CRUNCH VOL
Controls the CRUNCH channel’s level; use it to determine the
balance between it and the other channels.
10

MATRIX™ 100 Manual
english
2.3 LEAD
Yields hard-hitting, snarling British rock tone.
2.3.1 LEAD/WARP GAIN
Controls the LEAD and WARP channel’s input sensitivity and
thus the amount of saturation, with distortion option ranges
from creamy smooth to British grit and chunky NuMetal
thunder.
2.3.2 LEAD Vol
Controls the LEAD channel’s level; use it to determine the
balance between it and the other channels.
2.4 WARP
Beware! The MATRIX™ 100’s heart of darkness, this channel
offers fierce high-gain sounds of a flavor favored by popular
NuMetal bands. This brand of distortion is best described as an
angry roar. Depending on this channel’s settings, you can dial
monster NuMetal tone, grinding post-grunge and alternative
sounds, and thunderous death and Gothic metal noise.
2.4.1 WARP VOL
Controls the WARP channel’s level; use it to determine the
balance between it and the other channels.
2.5 CRUNCH, LEAD, WARP Voicing Section
For handling ease, the MATRIX™ 100’s three overdrive
channels share common voicing controls. However, behind
these tone controls are three different EQ circuits that are
automatically switched along with the channel. This is why an
EQ setting that you have dialed in for the LEAD channel works
so well with the CRUNCH and WARP channels.
3The MATRIX™ 100’s Effects
The MATRIX™ 100 features three independent effects -
modula-tion, DELAY and REVERB. All three effect models
may be used simultaneously and adjusted independently. The
MATRIX™ FX automatically stores settings for each channel.
3.1 MOD FX
The MATRIX™ 100 puts at your disposal the three most sought-
after modulation effects: A CHORUS, FLANGER and TREMOLO
are all assigned to one knob. CHORUS is assigned to the first
third of the knob’s control range, FLANGER to the second, and
TREMOLO to the final third. You can sweep the knob within
each third to adjust the effect’s characteristics. We staked out
the parameters so that you can swiftly and easily dial in settings
that elicit good-sounding, useful variations of the desired effect.
To switch off modulation effects, simply twist the knob to the
far left. Twisting the knob clockwise adjust the modulation
effect’s rate. Modulation depth is adjusted automatically
according to the rate setting so that every knob position yields
a hip effect sound offering real-world utility.
3.1.1 CHORUS
Low CHORUS settings yield a slow throb for thick, underwater
sounds that work great with ballads. Courtesy of automatic
effect depth adjustment, higher CHORUS settings do not evoke
that dreaded “seasick” tone.
3.1.2 FLANGER
Slow FLANGER settings yield a stately sweeping whoosh effect,
while faster settings give you swirly effects often heard in con-
temporary rock and pop tunes.
3.1.3 TREMOLO
Though the classic TREMOLO effect is great for recreating the
sounds of ‘60s, it also serves up some hip effects that work
wonders for contemporary tunes.
3.2 DELAY
DELAY is controlled via two knobs: TIME is an infinitely variable
knob that sweeps smoothly to the next repetition from 80 ms
to 1400 ms. Feedback is adjusted accordingly and automatically.
Short DELAYs with minimal feedback conjure great slap-back
rockabilly sounds, while medium-length DELAYs are perfect for
U2-style jangle. Long DELAY times let you come up with cas-
cading, Queen-style licks. The VOLUME knob determines the
level of repetitions, with a control range sweeping from off to
as loud as the original signal.
3.3 REVERB
The REVERB is an authentic-sounding emulation of a classic
springreverb. It handles and responds just like the original:
Simply twist the REVERB knob to adjust the spring REVERB’s
volume.

bottles etc.
• Ensure that the unit is well ventilated.
• Any ventilation openings must never be blocked or covered. The unit must be positioned at
least 20 cm away from walls. The unit may only be fitted in a rack if adequate ventilation is
ensured and if the manufacturer’s installation instructions are followed.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and the immediate vicinity of heating elements and radiant
heaters or similar devices.
• If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm location, condensation can form inside
it. This must be taken into account particularly in the case of tube units. Before switching on,
wait until the unit has reached room temperature.
• Accessories: Do not place the unit on an unsteady trolley, stand, tripod, base or table. If the
unit falls down, it can cause personal injury and itself become damaged. Use the unit only
with the trolley, rack stand, tripod or base recommended by the manufacturer or purchased
together with the unit. When setting the unit up, all the manufacturer’s instructions must be
followed and the setup accessories recommended by the manufacturer must be used. Any
combination of unit and stand must be moved carefully. A sudden stop, excessive use of
force and uneven floors can cause the combination of unit and stand to tip over.
• Additional equipment: Never use additional equipment which has not been recommended
by the manufacturer as this can cause accidents.
• To protect the unit during bad weather or when left unattended for prolonged periods, the
mains plug should be disconnected. This prevents the unit being damaged by lightning and
power surges in the AC mains supply.

¡INDICACIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES!
¡LÉANSE ANTES DE UTILIZAR EL APARATO Y GUARDENSE
PARA SU USO POSTERIOR!
• El aparato ha sido producido por Hughes & Kettner según el IEC 60065 y salió de la
fábrica en un estado técnicamente perfecto. Para conservar este estado y asegurar un
funcionamiento sin peligros el usuario debe tener en cuenta las indicaciones y advertencias
contenidas en las instrucciones de manejo. El aparato corresponde a la clase de protección l
(toma de tierra protegida).
• LA SEGURIDAD, LA FIABILIDAD Y EL RENDIMIENTO DEL APARATO SOLO ESTAN
GARANTIZADOS POR HUGHES & KETTNER CUANDO:
• el montaje, la ampliación, el reajuste, los cambios o las reparaciones se realicen por Hughes
& Kettner o por personas autorizadas para ello;
• la instalación eléctrica del recinto en cuestión corresponda a los requisitos de la
determinación del IEC (ANSI);
• el aparato se use de acuerdo con las indicaciones de uso.
ADVERTENCIA:
• Si se destapan protecciones o se retiran piezas de la carcasa, exceptuando si se puede hacer
manualmente, se pueden dejar piezas al descubierto que sean conductoras de tensión.
• Si es necesario abrir el aparato, éste tiene que estar aislado de todas las fuentes de
alimentación. Esto se debe tener en cuenta antes del ajuste, de un entretenimiento, de una
reparación y de una sustitución de las piezas.
• Un ajuste, un entretenimiento o una reparación en el aparato abierto y bajo tensión sólo
puede ser llevado a cabo por un especialista autorizado por el productor (según VBG 4) que
conozca a fondo los peligros que ello conlleva.
• Las salidas de altavoces que estén provistas de la característica IEC 417/5036 (figura 1, véase
abajo) pueden conducir tensiones peligrosas al contacto. Por ello es indispensable que antes
de poner en marcha el aparato; la conexión se haya realizado únicamente con el cable de
empalmes recomendado por el productor.
• Las clavijas de contacto al final de los cables conectores tienen que estar atornilladas o
enclavadas a la carcasa, en tanto que sea posible.
• Sólo se pueden utilizar del tipo IEC 127 con la intensidad de corriente nomianl indicada.
• El empalme del conductor de protección no se puede interrumpir en ningún caso.
• Las superficies provistas de la característica „HOT“ (figura 2, véase abajo), los paneles de
fondo trasero o las protecciones con ranuras de ventilación, los cuerpos de ventilación y
sus protecciones, así como las válvulas electrónicas y sus protecciones pueden alcanzar
temperaturas muy altas durante el funcionamiento y por ello no se deberían tocar.
• Niveles elevados de la intensidad de sonido pueden causar continuos daños auditivos; por
ello debe evitar acercarse demasiado a altavoces que funcionen a altos niveles. En tales casos
utilice protecciones auditivas.
ACOMETIDA A LA RED:
• El aparato está proyectado para un funcionamiento continuo.
• La tensión de funcionamiento ajustada tiene que coincidir con la tensión de la red del lugar.
• Advertencia: el interruptor de la red del aparato tiene que estar en la posición OFF cuando se
conecte el cable de red.
• La conexión a la red eléctrica se efectuará con la fuente de alimentación o con el cable de
red que se entreguen con el aparato.
• Fuente de alimentación: una linea de conexión dañada no se puede sustituir. La fuente de
alimentación no puede volver a ponerse en funcionamiento.
• Evite una conexión de la red eléctrica a distribuidores con muchas tomas de corriente.
• El enchufe para el suministro de corriente tiene que estar cerca del aparato y ser de fácil
acceso.
SITUACION:
• El aparato debería estar situado en una superficie limpia y totalmente horizontal.
• El aparato no puede estar expuesto a ningún tipo de sacudidas durante su funcionamiento.
• Se deben evitar la humedad y el polvo.
• El aparato no puede ponerse en funcionamiento cerca del agua, la bañera, el lavamanos,
la pila de la cocina, un recinto con tuberías de agua, la piscina o en habitaciones húmedas.
Tampoco se pueden poner objetos llenos de líquido - jarrones, vasos, botellas, etc. - encima
de él.
• Procure que el aparato tenga suficiente ventilación.
• Las aberturas de ventilación existentes no se deben bloquear ni tapar nunca. El aparato debe
estar situado como mínimo a 20 cm de la pared. El aparato sólo se puede montar en un rack,
si se ha procurado la suficiente ventilación y se han cumplido las indicaciones de montaje del
productor.
• Evite los rayos del sol directos así como la proximidad a radiadores, electro-radiadores o
aparatos similares.
• Si el aparato pasa repentinamente de un lugar frío a otro caliente, se puede condensar
humedad en su interior. Esto se debe tener en cuenta sobretodo en los aparatos con válvulas
electrónicas. Antes de poner en marcha el aparato se debe esperar hasta que éste haya
adquirido la temperatura ambiental.
• Accesorios: el aparato no se puede colocar encima de carros, estantes, trípodes, soportes o
mesas inestables. Si el aparato se cae puede causar daños personales y se puede estropear.
Coloque el aparato sólo en un carro, rack, estante, trípode o soporte recomendado por el
productor o que se le haya vendido junto con el aparato. En la instalación se deben seguir
las indicaciones del productor así como utilizar los accesorios recomendados por el mismo
para colocarlo encima. El conjunto del aparato con el pedestal se debe mover con mucho
cuidado. Un paro brusco, la aplicación de una fuerza desmesurada o un suelo irregular puede
ocasionar la caida de todo el conjunto.
• Piezas adicionales: no utilice nunca piezas adicionales que no estén recomendadas por el
productor, ya que se podrían provocar accidentes.
• Para protejer el aparato de una tormenta o si no se supervisa ni utiliza durante algún tiempo,
se debería desconectar la clavija de la red. Así se evitan daños en el aparato a causa de un
rayo y golpes de tensión en la red de corriente alterna.
