The V-TONE features many different connectors, allowing you to adapt to all 

kinds of application challenges. We have listed just a few examples to show the 

flexibility your V-TONE.

Fig. 3.1: Standard setup

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 a drum computer to the 

TAPE input. You can control the volume of the connected signal by using the 

TAPE INPUT control (on the GMX210, GMX212 and the GMX1200H, 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 loudspeaker is 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  

  is active 

(see section 4.1), the effects selected for both channels are loaded. Use the 

IN/OUT footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect. Keeping CHANNEL depressed 

for about 2 seconds activates the internal tuner.

Fig. 3.2: Recording setup

If 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-track 

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 

external 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.
