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 

on how to use them. An illustration of control elements with corresponding 

numbering can be found on the separately included supplementary sheet.
Because models GMX112, GMX210, GMX212 and GMX1200H each feature two 

identical MODELING CHANNELS, control elements  

(4)

  through  

(11) 

 will only be 

described once in the following section.

(1) 

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, ask your specialized dealer) with good mechanical and electrical 

shielding to avoid unpleasant surprises during rehearsals or concerts.

(2) 

On the GMX110, the CLEAN control modifies the volume of the 

CLEAN channel in relation to the MODELING CHANNEL.

(3) 

Use the CHANNEL key to alternate between the two modeling channels 

(except for the GMX110). The channel LED  

(5) 

 lights up when the channel is 

activated. 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 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.

(4) 

The DRIVE control determines the amount of distortion in the respective 

MODELING CHANNEL. Using this, you can ideally adjust the V-TONE pre-amp 

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).

(5) 

The CHANNEL LED indicates the currently selected channel.

(6) 

Use the AMP switch to select one 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. If you select TWEED, expect crystal-

clear, transparent sounds with dynamic bass. 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); perfect for lead sounds!

(7) 

Use the MODE switch to choose one of three possible gain settings 

(CLEAN, HI GAIN and HOT) you wish to use with the basic sound you selected 

with the AMP switch.

(8) 

The SPEAKER switch offers the simulations of two classic guitar speakers: 

4 x 12“ speaker in an enclosed casing (U.K.) and 2 x 12“ speaker in an open 

casing (US). Additionally, we have included a frequency response correction 

(FLAT), specially modified to go with V-TONE’s cabinet.

(9) 

The LOW control on the EQ section lets you cut or boost the bass frequencies.

(10) 

Use the MID control to cut or boost the mids.

(11) 

The HIGH control regulates the upper frequency range. 

(12) 

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.

(13) 

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.

(14) 

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.

(15) 

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 section 4). The effect can also be activated/deactivated using the 

provided footswitch.

(16) 

The FX control adjusts the mix ratio between the original and the 

effect signal.

(17) 

The LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the respective channel. 

Adjust LEVEL to achieve the desired volume balance between both channels.

( 2 ) 

(19) 

(18) 

The PRESENCE control gives you an additional way to cut or boost the highs 

(GMX212 and GMX1200H).

(19) 

The MASTER control regulates the overall volume as well as 

headphone volume.

(20) 

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 main 

power source.
