Hello all,
I have this amplifier as in the subject (Hughes & Kettner Tube 50). I would like to modify the clean channel EQ. I accept that I set the sound according to the attached sketch. In this regard, I have a question for the experts - Which of the components of change to get the same sound (set in the sketch).
Thank you for the hint and best regards.

Set the controls to the "I have" diagram. Carefully pry the knobs off and put them back on with the pointers in the "I need" positions. 
Re: Hughes & Kettner clean channel help
If you change C18 from 330pF to 500pF, that might be all you need. More treble will effectively reduce the mids and bass a bit.
btw, jana, that was funny

Re: Hughes & Kettner clean channel help
Looks like you want less treble and bass but more mid-range.
If that's the case then you need to lower the value of C-18 (33pF) try 150pF for starters. Also change R-26 (33k) to 100k.
Try that to begin with. Changing C-20 from .02 to .01 uF will give you a midrange boost but you may not need it after you make the first two changes...
This is a complex circuit with more going on in front of the tone controls than most tube amps but the first two changes should make a noticable diffrence

Re: Hughes & Kettner clean channel help
Above advise is good.
To see some ideas about manipulating tone controls look at the 3 tone stacks and the switch in changes for the 6 "sounds" of the 3 channel H&K TriAmp
