V-TONE GMX110/GMX210/GMX212/GMX1200H
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
AND CONNECTIONS
Control elements of your V-TONE guitar amp are described in
this section. 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.
Because models GMX210, GMX212 and GMX1200H each feature
two identical MODELING CHANNELS, control elements
through will only be described once in the following section.
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 channel in relation to the MODELING CHANNEL.
Use the CHANNEL key to switch between the two
MODELING CHANNELS (except for the GMX110). The
channel LED 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 is not lit up. With all models 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 soon 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); its
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.
