V-TONE GM110
INPUT is the GM110’s 1/4" jack input for your guitar. Use a
commercial 1/4" jack mono cable (not from a DIY shop, but
from a specialist music dealer).
The DRIVE control determines the amplification in the input
section. It allows you to finely tune the GM110 preset to the
output level of your guitar pick-up (depending on selected
amp, mode and speaker combination) in order to achieve
the desired degree of distortion.
Use the DRIVE control to set the desired sound and
use the MASTER control to set the desired volume!
The AMP switch enables you to emulate the basic sounds
from three guitar amp designs; these are based on classic
amp models and will be familiar to you from numerous
recordings. The TWEED setting delivers transparent
sounds, clear as a bell, with dynamic bass response. The
BRITISH setting has an aggression that comes straight from
the heart and is powerful with an unmistakable ability to
make itself heard. Fuller and more balanced, and yet subtly
differentiated, the CALIF(ORNIAN) setting is particularly
suitable for singing lead sounds.
With the MODE switch, you choose between one of three
possible gain settings (CLEAN, HI GAIN and HOT) to achieve
the basic sound selected with the AMP switch.

The SPEAKER switch provides you with simulations of
two classic guitar loudspeakers: 4x12"-loudspeakers in a
closed back enclosure (U.K.), and 2x12" loudspeakers,
open back (U.S.). In addition, we have also installed a
further frequency response correction (FLAT) that is
specially adapted to the GM110 enclosure.
The LOW control in the EQ section enables you to boost or
cut the bass frequencies.
With the MID control, you can boost/cut the midrange
frequencies.
The HIGH control governs the upper frequency range.
With the MASTER control, you determine the overall and
headphone volume of your V-TONE GM110. It should be
set fully to the left when you operate the POWER switch or
disconnect the instrument cable from the guitar or amp.
Use the POWER switch to put the GM110 into operation.
The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position
when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
Attention: The POWER switch does not fully
disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the
power cord completely when the unit is not used
for prolonged periods of time.

FUSEHOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTION. Before you connect the device to the network, please make sure that your local
voltage matches the voltage indicated on the unit. Blown fuses may only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.
Some models allow for inserting the fuse holder in two different positions in order to switch over from 230 V to 120 V operation,
and vice versa. Please note that, for 120 V operation outside Europe, you need to use a fuse of a higher rating. The network
connection is made via a STANDARD IEC INLET SOCKET. Use the enclosed power cord to connect the unit to the mains.
