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 cabl

e (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.
