INTRODUCTION
Thank you for the trust that you have placed in us by buying your V-TONE. You
have gotten your hands on a latest-generation guitar amp that sets completely
new standards when it comes to analog modeling.
Our primary goal during development was to simulate the typical sounds of
analog guitar amps, and at the same time give you a powerful sound tool that
you can use flexibly. In doing so, we constantly strove to create a piece of
equipment that is intuitive and easy to use.
The demands placed on a guitar amp are nowadays very broad. A guitarist should
offer a wide array of sounds, but at the same time be able to quickly adapt to
specific requirements of various applications—be it home recording, studio,
live perfor- mances, etc. That’s why it is very important to us to be able to
offer you amaximal sound diversity as well as diverse connection possibilities
with our V-TONE. Fret not: you will quickly master the V-TONE and will be able
to quickly learn how to use all of its capabiltties easily and intuitively.
With its up-to-date circuitry, its digital signal processor (DSP) and its
integrated tuner, the V-TONE features the functionality and dependability of a
truly modem guitar amp. Yet it is user- friendly and problem-free as if it
were a classic tube combo. We highly recommend taking your time to truly leam
all of the V-TONE’s functions so you can reach its maximum potential.
1.1 The concept
The BEHRINGER company philosophy guarantees a perfectly thought-out circuitry
concept, with components that were selected without cutting any comers. The
operational amplifiers that BEHRINGER uses in the \-TONE are some of the most
noise-
free operational amps around, and are characterized by extreme linearity and
low distortion. They are complemented by low- tolerance resistors and
capacitors, high-value potentiometers and switches as well as additional
select components. The robust housing of your V-TONE, with its oversize power
supply, gives you the peace of mind that the V-TONE will hold its own even
under the most demanding stage conditions. The housing is made of high-grade,
environment-friendly MDF wood consisting of multiply impregnated layers.
1.2 DYNAMIZER technology and analog modeling
When an electric instrument is amplified, that’s where you either make it or
break it. Unlike the signals that have been mixed and mastered, the signals of
electric instruments have extremely high signal peaks, placing the dynamic
range of the amp’s circuitry under immense strain. How your amp reacts to
these signal peaks is one of its most defining characteristics.
That’s why we’ve equipped all V-TONE Series amps with our unique DYNAMIZER
preamplifier circuitry. It guarantees a lively sound with a lot of punch, even
when the amp is pushed to its limits. Combine that with our V-TONE analog
modeling, and not only do you have amazingly authentic tube sounds at your
fingertips, you also get the dynamic performance typical of the respective amp
type. Crystal-clear guitar tones come through with transparency, wamth and the
compression typical of tube amps. Even as distortion increases, the sound
remains lively and full of power, without losing any of its assertiveness. Al
along, you have full control over the volume. Plainly talking, you can take
the same sound you are used to at your practice foom and replicate it in your
bedroom at much more reasonable volume levels, or you can even record yourself
while playing.
The following user’s manual will familiarize you with the control elements of
your new V-TONE and let you learn all of its functions. After reading this
manual, store it somewhere where you can easily find in the future, should you
need to look up some information.
1.3 Before you get started
1.3.1 Shipment
The V-TONE was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure
transport.
Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that your V-TONE may have
been damaged in transport, please inspect the unit immediately and look for
physical indications of damage. I3 Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent
directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired it immediately
as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery. Otherwise,
all claims for replacement/ repair may be rendered invalid.
1.3.2Initial operation
Please make sure that your V-TONE is provided with sufficient ventilation, and
never place it on other amplifiers or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the
risk of overheating.
Before plugging your V-TONE into a power socket, please make sure you have
selected the correct voltage:
The fuse mount near the power cord connector has three triangular markings.
Two of these triangles are facing opposite one another. Your V-TONE is set up
for the voltage indicated near these markings, and can be altered by turning
the fuse mount by 180 degrees. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models
built for 120 V, for example!
I If you use your V-TONE unit with a different voltage, you must change the
fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the
chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating, without
exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter
“SPECIFICATIONS”. Power is delivered via the cable that was delivered with the
V-TONE. All mandatory safety precautions have been adhered to.
Please make sure that all your equipment is grounded at all times. For your
own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the
unit itself.
MIDI connection is established using a standard DIN connector. Data transfer
occurs via isolated opto-couplers. Additional information can be found in
chapter 6, “INSTALLATION”.
1.3.3 Warranty
Please send the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of purchase
to us, as warranty claims may otherwise be rendered invalid. The serial number
of your V-TONE is located on the rear. Alternatively, you may register online
at www.behringer.com.
CONTROL ELEMENTS
AND CONNECTIONS
Control elements of your V-TONE guitar amp are described in this chapter.
All controls and connections are explained in detail, and we give you useful
tips about using them. An illustration of the control elements with the
corresponding numbering can be found on the separately included supplementary
sheet.
Since the V-TONE GMX210 and GMX212 feature two identical MODELING CHANNELS,
control elements (4] to [17] in the following chapter are described only once.
2.1 Front panel
-
The connector labeled INPUT is the 1/4″ jack input of your V-TONE. Use it to connect your guitar. Use a commercially available 1/4″ jack mono cable (no DIY, better ask your specialized dealer), with good mechanical and electrical shielding to avoid unpleasant surprises during rehearsals or concerts.
-
On the GMX110, the CLEAN control modifies the volume of the CLEAN channelin relation to the MODELING CHANNEL.
-
Use the CHANNEL key to switch between the two MODELING CHANNELS (GMX210 and GMX212 only). The channel LED [5] of the active channel lights up. On the GMX110, the CHANNEL key switches between CLEAN and MODELING CHANNEL. CLEAN CHANNEL is active when the channel LED [5] is not lit up. With all three models (GMX110, GMX210 and GMX212), you can also switch between channels using the provided footswitch. A long hit (approx. 2 seconds) on the CHANNEL key activates the guitar tuner.
-
The DRIVE control determines the amount of distortion in the respective MODELING CHANNEL. This way, the preamp of your V-TONE can be ideally adjusted to the output level of your guitar pick-up to achieve the desired amount of distortion (depending on the amp, mode and speaker combination you selected).
-
The CHANNEL LED indicates the currently selected channel.
-
Use the AMP switch to dial up the basic sounds of the three guitar amps that orient themselves on classic tube amps. You will surely recognize these classic amp sounds as s00n as you hear them. Expect crystal-clear, transparent sounds with dynamic basses if you select TWEED. You get aggressive mids and pressure-rich, inescapable assertiveness and endurance when you select BRITISH.
Rounder and more evened-out (yet still sophisticated) sounds can be dialed up if you select CALIF.(ORNIAN); it’s perfect for lead sounds. -
Use the MODE switch to dial up one of three possible gain settings (CLEAN, HI GAIN and HOT) that you wish to use with the basic sound you selected using AMP.
-
The SPEAKER switch offers the simulations of two classic quitar speakers: 4×12″ speaker in an enclosed casing (U.K) and 2×12″ speaker in an open casing (US). Additionally, we have buit in a frequency response correction (FLAT) specially modified to go with V-TONE’s cabinet.
-
The LOW control on the EQ section lets you cut or boost the bass frequencies.
-
Use the MID control to cut or boost the mids.
-
The HIGH control regulates the upper frequency range.
-
If the tuner is activated, these LEDS (in connection with the FX display) indicate your guitar’s tune. Activate the tuner by keeping the CHANNEL pressed for roughly 2 seconds.
-
The FX DISPLAY indicates either the program number of the preset you selected or the value of the parameter dialed up using the FX control.
-
Use the PRESET control to dial up one of the effect presets (between 01 and 99). The preset you dialed up is loaded when you make no further changes for about one second after dialing up that preset.
-
Use the IN/OUT key to activate/deactivate the selected effect. When the effect is activated, the LED located above the switch lights up. You can save your own effect settings by keeping this key pressed for about 2 seconds (also see chapter 4). The effect can also be activated/deactivated using the provided footswitch.
If the MIDI function is deactivated (see ch. 4.2), FX tracking is active, i.e. a separate effect can be selected for each of the channels of your V-TONE. FXT is explained in detail in chapter 4.1. -
The FX control adjusts the mix ratio between the original and the effect signal.
-
The LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the respective channel. Adjust LEVEL so that you achieve the desired volume balance between both channels.
The GMX110 features no such control. However, use 2 to control the volume of the CLEAN channel in respect to the MODELING channel; use MASTER 2 to control the overall volume.
The GMX210 features the LEVEL control only on MODELING CHANNEL 1. It controls the volume of the channel in respect to the second channel. -
The PRESENCE control gives you an additional way of cutting or boosting the highs (GMX212 only).
-
The MASTER control regulates the overall volume as well as headphone volume.
-
The POWER switch powers up your V-TONE. The POWER switch should always be in the “Off’ position before you connect the V-TONE to the mains.
Please beware: Switching the POWER switch off does not fully disconnect your V-TONE from the mains. If you won’t be using it for longer periods of time, unplug the power cord from the mains.
GMX110’s POWER switch is located on the rear.
2.2 Rear panel -
Connect the stereo jack connector of the provided footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH connector. The footswitch has several functions: it lets you switch between two channels, and it also lets you activate/deactivate an effect. Additionally, the tuner can also be activated using the footswitch. To do that, keep the CHANNEL key pressed for about 2 seconds.
-
MIDI IN. This connector lets you remotely control your V-TONE via MIDI. You can activate/deactivate effects or switch between channels. You can use effect bypass via program changes and parameter edits as well as edit the presets via controllers (also see chapters 6.3 and 7.1).
-
You can connect two external loudspeakers (L/R) to the LOUDSPEAKER connectors of the GMX212. The outputs deliver 50 Watts into 8 Q per channel. Please only use loudspeakers with an impedance of 8 Q each in order to achieve optimal performance. When you use these connectors, the intemal loudspeakers are automatically muted (see chapter 6.2.).
The GMX210 features no external loudspeaker connectors. The loudspeaker connector on the GMX110 is described under 32. -
The PHONES connector lets you monitor the audio signal of your V-TONE by using standard headphones. As soon as this connector has a jack plugged into it, the speaker is muted automatically. For example, our headphones HPS3000 are well suited for this use.
-
Those signals that are connected to the SLAVE IN connectors are directly routed to the V-TONE’s power amp. This way, you can connect an external guitar preamp or modeling amp (e. g. V-AMP 2 or V-AMP PRO) without using the intemal preamp on your V-TONE.
The GMX110 features no SLAVE IN connectors. (=3 -
You can take the stereo signal of your V-TONE at the TAPE outputs (RCA) and record it, for example.
-
The TAPE inputs (RCA) let you feed an additional stereo signal into your V-TONE. You can play along to the beat of a drum computer or play to the music from a CD or MD player.
-
You can take the stereo signal of your V-TONE at the LINE outputs to record it or route it to a P.A. system. This output is independent from the MASTER control and does not render the AUX signal. Additionally, its frequency response is corrected (speaker simulation).
The GMX110 features no LINE outputs. -
Use the AUX IN control to adjust the volume of the signal that is fed in via the AUX IN connectors (e. g. drum computer, playback).
On the GMX110, this control is called TAPE INPUT. It regulates the volume of the signal fed in at the TAPE IN connectors. -
The AUX IN lets you feed an additional stereo signal into the GMX210/GMX212. This way, you can play to a backing track that supports you on-stage but should not be audible via the LINE outputs connecting the GMX210/GMX212 to the P.A. system. Additionally, you can use AUX IN together with the INSERT SEND as a parallel insert loop. To do that, connect the INSERT SEND to the input of your effects device; connect the AUX IN (TAPE IN on the GMX110) to the output of your effects unit (the INSERT RETURN connector should not be in use!). This way, the signal flow in your V-TONE is not interrupted. With the AUX IN control, you can determine the extent to which the external effects unit alters the original signal. Keep in mind that the effects unit should be set up to 100% effects signal (100% “wet’).
-
Your V-TONE features a serial insert loop that can be used to connect external effects (e. g. a Wah pedal). Connect the SEND connector on the V-TONE to the input of your effects unit. The SEND connector is tapped into directly before (i.e. pre) the digital signal processor (DSP) of your V-TONE. Connect the output of your external effects unit to the RETURN connector of your V-TONE.
You can use the INSERT SEND as a parallel output without the effects. This is useful when you for example need to record a dry guitar signal. As long as the RETURN connector has nothing plugged into it, the signal is not interrupted internally. -
Use the SPEAKER OUT connector to connect one additional loudspeaker to your GMX110. This loudspeaker should have an impedance of 4 Q. When this connector is used, the intemal loudspeaker is automatically muted. Additional information about connecting an external loudspeaker can be found in chapter 6.2.
-
FUSE RETAINER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that the voltage indicated in the voltage selector matches the local voltage before you connect the unit to the mains. Always replace blown fuses with fuses of the same type. Some units feature a fuse retainer in which a selection between 230 V and 120 V is possible. Please beware: When using your unit outside of Europe on 120V, a higher fuse rate is required.
-
Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching cable is provided with the unit.
-
SERIAL NUMBER. The serial number of your V-TONE is located on the rear. Please send the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of purchase to assure unproblematic warranty processing in the future. Or use our online registration form at www.behringer.com.
APPLICATIONS
The V-TONE features many different connectors, letting you live up to all
kinds of application challenges. We have listed just a few examples of how
flexibly your V-TONE can be used:
3.1 Practice setup with playback To use your V-TONE in practice rooms or
to jam at home, connect your V-TONE as illustrated in figure 3.1. Connect a CD
player or adrum computer to the TAPE input. You can control the volume of the
connected signal by using the TAPE INPUT control (on the GMX210 and the
GMX212, the AUX control adjusts the signal connected to the AUX IN). If you
want (or have to!) to practice using headphones, connect your headphones to
the PHONES connector on your V-TONE. The internal loudspeakeris automatically
muted. Connect the provided dual footswitch to the footswitch connector on the
V-TONE. Use the CHANNEL footswitch to switch between the channels. If Al is
active (see ch. 4.1), the effects selected for both channels are loaded. Use
the INJOUT footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect. Keeping CHANNEL
depressed for about 2 seconds activates the internal tuner.
3.2 Recording setup with an external effects device f you want to use
your V-TONE in home recording or studio situations, we suggest wiring your
equipment as illustrated in figure 3.2. Of course, you can continue using a CD
player or a drum computer. However, for clarity’s sake we’ve omitted those two
in this illustration. Connect the input of your effects unit to the INSERT
SEND connector of the V-TONE; connect the output on your effects unit to the
INSERT RETURN connector on the V-TONE.
If you wish to record the guitar signal together with the stereo effects,
connect the LINE outputs to your mixer, audio sequencer or a multi-rack
recorder. To record the dry guitar signal without the internal effects, it is
best to use the INSERT SEND connector
on the V-TONE. You can also use both outputs at the same time to for example
record the dry signal without permanently committing to a single effect. At
the same time, the LINE output (with the effect signal) lets you listen to
yourself while recording.
Of course, you can insert a Wah pedal or some other stomp box instead of an
extemal 19″ effects unit. To achieve a parallel stereo insert, you can connect
the effect return to the AUX input, and then use the AUX IN control to
determine the extent to which the effect is present. In this case, the effects
unit should be set up to 100% effect signal, and the INSERT RETURN connector
should have nothing plugged into it.
If you want to use another guitar preamp or a modeling amp (e. g. the V-AMP or
the V-AMP PRO), connect it by using the SLAVE IN connectors on the
GMX210/GMX212. The former serves only as a power amp, and its preamp section
is not active.
3.3 Live setup with a MIDI foot controller In this ilustration, we’ve
omitted the footswitch, the headphones and the additional equipment from
figure 3.1; this illustration serves as an expansion of the standard setup.
You can use the MIDI foot controller to control channel and effects changes,
volume, Wah and so on. (Additional information about MIDI can be found in
chapter 4.3).
The LINE OUT signal with the speaker simulation can be fed into your mixer or
your P.A. system’s stagebox.
Extemal guitar loudspeakers can be connected to the loud- speaker outputs of
the GMX212 in order to get more punch and higher volume on the stage. You can
do this in two ways: use two separate loudspeakers for stereo applications, or
use a single stereo box (e.g. the BEHRINGER ULTRASTACK BG412S).
Instead of loudspeaker outputs, the GMX110 features a single SPEAKER OUT
connector ([32]) used for connecting an extemal loudspeaker.
EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Effects are the icing on the cake when it comes to creative sound designs. On
the one hand, direct recordings (i.e. recordings without a microphone, which
is possible with the V-TONE) are all about placing the guitar sound in an
artificially created space since no natural ambience is possible. On the
other, effects such as delay, chorus, flanger and tremolo are an integral part
of the modern guitar sound. For this reason, we’ve equipped the V-TONE with an
effects processor that lets you create a professional-grade sound that you are
used to hearing on your favorite recordings. This way, you are one giant step
closer to emulating your fave sounds without having to schiep a rackfull of
effects everywhere you go.
The integrated multieffects processor offers the same audio quality found in
our 19″ effects unit VIRTUALIZER PRO, known for being used in studios. You get
31 different groups of first- class effects at your disposal, for example
reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, compressor, expander, Wah
variations, various combination effects and even tube and speaker simulations.
Allin all, there are 99 presets you can use, offering you a wide variety of
different-sounding effects. You can edit one parameter on each preset directly
on the V-TONE and three parameters via MIDI. Additionally, the multi-effects
processor lets you mix and match different effects with different speakers,
depending on each preset. Presets can be overwritten with your own creations.
The multi-effects processor works basically in stereo, whereby only the TAPE
and PHONES outputs are influenced in the case of the GMX110. Both signals
(left and right) are added up for the speaker and the mono power amp of the
GMX110. However, you can still use stereo effects for recording purposes by
utilizing the TAPE OUT or by playing with a second amp in stereo. The GMX210
and GMX212 can reproduce the effects in stereo due to having two built-in
speakers.
Tum the PRESET control to dial up an effect preset. While the preset is
loading up, the new program number blinks in the display. The preset you
dialed up is active shortly thereafter. This new preset is shown in the
display.
Use the FX control o edit the effect. Effect mix is shown in the display.
After 3 seconds, the display shows the preset number again. The decimal point
in the 2-digitdisplay blinks each time you make a change.
To store an edit, keep the IN/OUT key pressed for about 2 seconds. This
overwrites the previous settings.
To restore factory presets (reset function), keep INOUT pressed while powering
up the V-TONE.
4.1 FXT effects tracking
FXT is an extremely useful function that lets you assign a specific effect
to each channel of the V-TONE, and then activate these effects when you switch
between the channels. This way, you can for example assign a DELAY effect to
the MODELING CHANNEL 1, and assign a REVERB/CHORUS combination effect to the
MODELING CHANNEL 2. A single tap on the CHANNEL key or the footswitch lets you
switch between the channels, and the V-TONE automatically loads up the correct
effect.
When MIDI is active, the above no longer applies. You can switch between the
channels and the effects independently from one another. How MIDI is activated
is described in ch. 4.3.
4.2 The effects
01-02 Spring Reverb: Even on a guitar amp with digital multi- effects, you
should still be able to use a classic spring reverb. This effect simulates the
typical sound of the spring reverb known from countless guitar amps, and
without having the negative effect of producing rattling noises when the amp
vibrates.
03-04 Studio: This effect simulates the characteristics of midsize rooms. This
spatial simulation sounds very natural and can be used in various setups.
05-06 Chamber: You really get the feeling you’re dealing with some serious
walls. This effect is ideal for creating reverb that doesn’t come through as a
clear effect, and a dry guitar sound gets some natural feeling instilled into
it.
07-08 Stage: Very nice reverb, great for widening and freshening up the sound
of a clean-sounding gutar.
09-10 Concert: Here, you can choose between a small theater (preset 9) and a
big concert hall (preset 10). Compared to Studio Reverb, this reverb is
livelier and has richer highs.
11-12 Plate: The sound of the classic plates. A true classic, it gives your
guitar sound a nice, pleasant note.
Reverbs 01 to 12 are all available in two versions. The first one basically
uses a short pre-delay (a delay until the reverb tail starts). The second
variation always uses a long pre-delay.
13-14 Gated Reverb: “In the air tonight” by Phil Collins made this
artificially cut off reverb famous.
15-16 Ambience: The resonance of a room is comprised out of the so-called
“early reflections” and a reverb tail. This effect concentratestself on the
simulation of the first 15 early reflections. Since human hearing uses these
reflections to size up a room, you can create very subtle density without
alienating the signal with long reverb tails. This effect is particularly
noticeable when you use headphones.
17-19 Wah/Delay/Distortion: Fitters generally influence the frequency response
of a signal. The Wah effect, in this case combined with a delay and a
distortion effect, lets the middie frequency response through and suppresses
the others more o less. Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton made the Wah effect a
household name. It’s an effect that will never be out of fashion. By using the
MIDI controller 15, you can edit the range of the Wah effect with a MIDI
footswitch, among others. This way, the Wah effect can be used as an analog
Wah pedal. You can modify how prominently the delay effect kicks in.
20 Delay/Reverb: First, an ordinary delay is created. Then, the signal goes
through a reverb with an editable mix ratio.
21-24 Delay (stereo): “Delay” refers to the delay in the input signal, with
one or more repetitions of the signal (feedback).
With stereo delay, the delay times in the left and the right channel are not
the same length (in order to create a stereo effect). The delay time in the
left channel amounts to two-thirds of the delay time value in the right
channel.
25-29 Delay (long mono): Mono delays offer longer delay times with a differing
number of repetitions (feedback values). You can use the FX MIX control to
determine the effect mix ratio.
30-33 Phaser: Technically speaking, a phaser is amodulation effect in which
multiple phase shifting takes place. Signal attenuation or amplification of
the signal happens through the modulation of the frequency-dependent phase
shift via an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). Depending on the preset, the
phaser can be used either to lightly modulate or o totally alienate the
signal. The sound reminds of a constantly modulating filter.
34-37 Chorus: Let’s picture a string quartet in which each musician plays the
exact same sheet music. However, it is only natural that musicians can never
be 100% in tune. This way, signals that are perpetually out of tune are
created, and they are furthermore temporally superimposed. To recreate this
effect, copies of the original signal are delayed in chorus for 20 – 40 ms,
are tuned out slightly and then modulated through the LFO. This creates a
pleasant-sounding floating effect. We’ll refrain for making any
recommendations because this effect is used so often and in so many different
ways. Any recommendation about when to use it would undoubtedly leave out too
many other possible uses.
38-42 Chorus/Reverb: First, the signal goes through a chorus effect with
varying intensity, and then it goes through a reverb. Adjustable parameter:
reverb mix.
4347 Chorus/Delay: The signal first goes through a chorus effect with varying
intensity, and then it goes through a delay effect with varying feedback and
delay time values. You can control the delay ratio in the mix.
48-51 Flanger: Using an LFO, the pitch of the effect signal is somewhat
modulated in constant tempo, and is then brought back to the input signal.
This effect goes hand in hand with the sound of a distorted guitar.
52-56 Flanger/Reverb: The signal first goes through a flanger with varying
intensity, and then it goes through a reverb. The FX control lets you edit the
ratio of the reverb mix.
57-61 Flanger/Delay: The signal is first passed through a flanger with varying
intensity, and then it goes through a delay effect. The ratio of the delay mix
can be controlled.
62-63 Tremolo: The tremolo effect refers to more or less rapid and intensive
variations in the volume. 64-66 Tremolo/Delay: A more or less rapid and
intensive variation of the volume that is in this case also coupled to a delay
effect. The FX MIX control lets you control the ratio of the tremolo mix.
67-68 Rotary Speaker: A simulation of a classic organ effect that is nomally
achieved with a terribly heavy casing and slowly or quickly rotating speakers.
The physical principle of the Doppler effect is used to modulate the signal.
9-70 Magic Drive: An absolutely ‘in” effect that’s combined with a delay. And,
as whip cream on top, this effect gets an LFO-controlled notch filter. The
delay mix ratio is editable. This effect is excellent for solo sounds due to
its high volume.
71-72 Auto Wah: Depending on the attack time, the Auto Wah effect lets the
lower frequencies pass through and more or less suppresses the highs. The
depth value of the filter can be controlled via the FX MIX control. If you
primarily play low-end sounds, dial up a lower value. The higher the frequency
of the sound you create, the higher the FX MIX value should be.
73-74 LFO Wah: With this effect, the LFO determines how quickly the frequency
response is affected. You can create regularly recurring Wah effects. With the
LFO Wah effects you can really create impressive results.
71-72 Auto Wah: Depending on the attack time, the Auto Wah effect lets the
lower frequencies pass through and more or less suppresses the highs. The
depth value of the filter can be controlled via the FX MIX control. If you
primarily play low-end sounds, dial up a lower value. The higher the frequency
of the sound you create, the higher the FX MIX value should be.
73-74 LFO Wah: With this effect, the LFO determines how quickly the frequency
response is affected. You can create regularly recurring Wah effects. With the
LFO Wah effects you can really create impressive results.
75-81 Pitch Shifter: This effect modifies the pitch of the input signal.
Musical intervals and harmonics are created, and the propagation of a single
voice can be adjusted. You can create signals that are majorly out of tune
(e.g. signals shifted upward by several halftones), such as the strange-
sounding voices often used in cartoons. There are several default intervals
already built into the presets.
82-85 Pitch/Reverb: The signal first goes through a pitch shifter with various
transpositions in half-tone increments (or smaller). A reverb follows.
Adjustable parameter: pitch shifter mix.
86-89 Pitch/Delay: The signal first goes through the pitch shifter with
various intervals, and then it’s run through a delay effect. Use FX MIX to
control the pitch shifter mix parameter.
90-91 Compressor: A signal’s dynamic characteristics are often limited to
assure its integration into the overall mix. This can be done by using a
compressor or a limiter. A limiter confines the signal to the values above or
below a previously determined threshold value rather abruptly, whereas the
compressor does basically the same, but the threshold area is rather “softly’
delineated, so program intervention is not so suddenly fett. Use the FX MIX
control to determine the threshold point for the compressor. This effect
rolongs the sustain of your guitar, or you can also for example make the
strumming on a funky-style guitar more audible (chicken scratch).
92-93 Expander: Background noise of all kinds (hissing, hum, etc.) limit the
dynamic range of the desired signal. As long as the main signal’s level is
considerably higher than the noise fioor, background noise is inaudible; the
main signal basically masks the underlying noise signal. You can use the
expander to effectively broaden the dynamic range of a signal. The signal is
weakened when the amplitudes are smaller, whereby background noise is lowered.
The FX MIX controls determines the expander’s threshold.
94-96 Guitar Combo: This effect simulates the sound characteristics of a small
guitar combo, simulating not only two tube stages, but also the cabinet and
the speaker. Use the FX MIX control to adjust the mix of direct and combo
signals.
97-99 Speaker Cabinet: This effect emulates three different types of speaker
cabinets. Additionally, you can shift the speaker’s main resonance peak by
using the FX MIX control.
4.3 MIDI control
Thanks to its built-in MIDI interface, you can integrate your V-TONE into any
MIDI setup. The V-TONE is capable of receiving both program change and MIDI
controller information. So, you can change programs via MIDI using a MIDI foot
controller or a computer-based sequencing software, and you can also control
individual effect parameters and edit your own effects. Our MIDI foot
controller FCB1010 gives you precisely these options, and is a perfect match
for all BEHRINGER guitar amps.
This is how you activate the MIDI functions:
Connect the MIDI IN connector of your V-TONE to the MIDI OUT jack of a MIDI
foot controller (see fig. 3.3).
Keep CHANNEL and IN’OUT keys simultaneously depressed for 2 seconds.
Use the PRESET control toselect a MIDI channel (1 through 16, “ON’ = Omni
mode, ‘OF” = off). When the display no longer blinks, the selected MIDI
channel is activated. Omni mode means that your V-TONE receives and processes
relevant MIDI information on all channels. Of course, you should select the
same channel both on your MIDI foot controller and the V-TONE (see your MIDI
foot controller user’s manual). The left decimal point on the display jitters
when MIDI data is received on the V-TONE, giving you
visual confimation about the information currently being received.
Once you activate MIDI, FX tracking is no longer active, i.e. there is no
assignment between an effect number and a channel. This means that when you
switch a channel, the previously set effect is not automatically loaded up. As
this assignment feature would probably cause confusion when controlling the
V-TONE via a MIDI foot controller, it makes sense only when it is controlled
from the enclosed footswitch or directly from the V-TONE. To operate your
V-TONE without MIDI remote control, please disable the MIDI function (display
reads “OF”).
You can control different functions of your V-TONE using MIDI. To this end,
the V-TONE receives MIDI instructions (so- called messages). The messages that
need to be sent to your V-TONE have to be created either on a MIDI foot
controller or on a MIDI sequencer. Basically, these are Program Change
Messages and Controller Messages:
Program Changes: You can dial up presets using MIDI program changes. Since
program changes start at 0 and go up to 127, program change 0 corresponds to
preset 1, program change 1 to preset 2, and so on (compare table 7.1 in the
appendix). After the switch is done, the preset is directly active, i.e.
independent from a possibly set bypass.
Effect parameters: Three parameters of the effects processor can be adjusted
in real time. This way, you can create your own effects, modify existing
effects to your specific needs (e.g. adapt the delay time to the tact of your
song) or remotely control using a MIDI foot controller.
Select a controller number for the footswitch on your MIDI foot controller.
Use control numbers 12, 13 or 14. Using the footswitch on your MIDI foot
controller, you can now modify the values of the three adjustable parameters
in real time or directly enter their values. Which three parameters for the
respective effect can be edited is shown in the following table:

Table 4.1: MIDI-controllable effect parameters
Channel switching: Changing modeling CHANNELS is done via controller #10. If
you send value 0 via this controller, then channel 1 is active. Sending value
1 activates channel change to channel 2. Program change instructions can also
be used to change channels. Program change #123 activates channels 1 and
program change #124 activates channel 2 of your V-TONE.
In addition to switching channels, you can also deactivate the effect. To this
end, send value 0 via controller #11. Value 1 activates the effect again. An
alternative option for an effect bypass is sending program change #127.
Sending program change #122 activates the tuner. As soon as another program
change number is sent, the tuner is automatically deactivated.
You determine the input volume of the effect module by using MIDI controller
7. This lets you adjust the volume of your V-TONE to your own requirements.
Since this controller does not control master volume, you should first adjust
the maximum volume you need by using the master volume control, and then use
MIDI controller #7 to lower the volume. This function is also called “volume
controller’.
The operating range of the Wah effect is adjusted using MIDI controller #15.
Furthermore, if you’re using LFO-controlled modulation effects, you can
deactivate LFO and implement modulation via MIDI controller #15. To activate
this MIDI controller, you should first set up the LFO velocity either directly
on your V-TONE or set the respective MIDI controller to value 0. Of course,
you can use a MIDI sequencer or a computer- based MIDI editor for MIDI remote
control, particularly in the home recording environment.
TUNER
Theintegrated tuner is activated by pressing the CHANNEL key for about 2
seconds (directly on the amp or on the footswitch).
5.1 Tuning your guitar
The chromatic tuner automatically recognizes the frequencies of guitar
notes. For A string, this means a frequency of 110 Hz.
When you connect your guitar to the V-TONE and strum a string, the tuner tries
to recognize the tone and shows it in the display.
Because the tuner functions chromatically, it can also recognize semitones.
These are shown in the display with a “b” accompanying the value.
However, it may be the case that that a played note (shown in the display as
for example “a”) slightly deviates from the ideal tone. This will be indicated
by lighting up at least one of the red tuner LEDs (HIGHILOW) near the FX
display. The faster the LED
blinks, the harsher the deviation of the played tone from the note shown in
the display. If the middle LED (green) lights up, the tone you played is
completely in tune with the tone indicated in the display.
When the tuner is active, the V-TONE switches the amp function to bypass.
Normally, the guitar signal is in this case muted. However, sometimes itis
preferable not to mute the signal in order to let you have acoustic control of
what you are doing while you are tuning your guitar. For this reason, the
V-TONE has an integrated tuner level function.
You can adjust tuner volume from 0 to 99 by using the FX control. At “0 the
guitar signal is completely muted. After a successfully implemented
adjustment, the display auto- matically goes back to tuner mode.
5.2 Setting up the “a” reference tone
To put complete freedom at your disposal when tuning your instrument, you
have the option to change the preset of the reference tone “a”. Here is a
quick intro to the subject. The so-called “chamber tone a” has been
continually revised upwards ever since it was first measured: tuning forks of
Bach, Handel or Mozart were at 415, 420 or 421 Hz (vibrations pro second).
Nowadays, orchestras set the “a” with 444 Hz, and the Berlin Philicharmonic
Orchestra wishes to stay ahead: their “chamber tone a” lies at a full 447 Hz.
The reference tone “a” of the V-TONE is programmed at 440 Hz. Let’s say, you
want to work with a big orchestra that works with the chamber tone “a” set to
444 Hz. To activate the function that changes the chamber tone, do the
following:
Activate the tuner by keeping the CHANNEL key pressed for a few seconds.
By turning the PRESET control, you can adjust the “a” reference tone up or
down in 1 Hz increments for amaximum of 15 Hz. The last two digits of the
frequency value are always shown in the display, since the first digit is
always a 4. For example, when you start with the 440 Hz basic tone, and then
press the right amrow key four times, the display shows 44, which corresponds
to a frequency of 444 Hz.
After about 5 seconds, the display goes back to tuner mode. Your changes are
automatically stored. Ideal tones for the remaining strings are automatically
set up using the newly adjusted frequency as a reference.
Aquick hit on the CHANNEL key lets you leave tuner mode and goback to amp
mode.
INSTALLATION
6.1 Audio connections
With the exception of the headphone output and the AUX input (stereo jacks),
audio inputs and outputs of your BEHRINGER V-TONE are provided in the form of
mono jack connectors. Tape inputs and outputs are provided as RCA connectors.
Please keep in mind that your V-TONE should be installed and operated only
by those who possess sufficient technical knowledge about its installation and
operation. Everyone dealing with your V-TONE should be sufficiently grounded
both during the installation as well as during actual usage. Failure to do so
may cause undesirable or faulty operation due to electromagnetic discharges
and similar. 6.2 Speaker connection
The GMX110 features a SPEAKER connector to which you can connect an additional
loudspeaker. This additional loud- speaker should be able to handle at least
30 Watts and the impedance of 4 Q.
The GMX212 features two LOUDSPEAKER outputs (EXT LEFT and EXT RIGHT) for
connecting two loudspeakers or a single stereo loudspeaker unit. The output
power rating is 50 W per
channel. To assure optimal power delivery of the amp, youshould use 8-Q
loudspeakers that can handle at least 50 Watts.
This goes for both models: You can also use loudspeakers with higher impedance
values, but this lowers proportionally the power delivery as the resistance
increases. Doubling the impedance halves the power value (double the Ohms =
halfthe Watts)
Since SPEAKER and LOUDSPEAKER outputs are connectors where amplified signals
are given out, never connect equipment with line-level inputs to these two
connectors.
6.3 MIDI connection
The MIDI standard (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) was first
developed at the beginning of the ’80s, with the goal of enabling mutual
communication between electronic instruments of various manufacturers. Overthe
years, the number of possible MIDI applications has increased substantially;
nowadays, it is perfectly normal to connect entire studios via MIDI. At the
center of this network is a computer with a sequencing software, used to
control not only keyboards but also effects processors and other peripheral
equipment. In such a studio, you can control your V-TONE in real time from a
computer. USing a MIDI footswitch presents itseff as a great idea, especially
in live applications, because it allows you to control not only effect
parameters but also switch between channels and effects.
The standard 5-pole DIN MIDI connector s located on the rear of your V-TONE.
To connect your V-TONE with other MIDI equipment, you will need a MIDI cable.
Pre-packed cables available at music stores are used for this purpose. Such
cables should not be longer than 15 m (45 ft).
MIDI IN receives MIDI control data. The receiving channel is adjusted using
the CHANNEL and IN/OUT key combination On = Omni means that MIDI data are
being received and processed on all channels (compare chapter 4.2).
