10 V-TONE GMX1200H/GMX212/GMX210/GMX112/GMX110 User Manual Loudspeaker Output Left BEHRINGER V-TONE GMX1200H Loudspeaker Output Right The multi-effects processor works basically in stereo, whereby only the TAPE and PHONES outputs are influenced in the case of the GMX110/GMX112. Both signals (left and right) are added up for the speaker and the mono power amp of the GMX110/GMX112. However, you can still use stereo effects for recording purposes by utilizing the TAPE OUT or by playing with a second amp in stereo. The GMX210 and GMX212 can produce the effects in stereo because they have two built-in speakers. Stereo reproduction is also possible with the GMX1200H when the speakers are connected to it in stereo. • Turn the PRESET control to dial up an effect preset. While the preset is loading up, the new program number blinks in the display. The preset you dialed up is active shortly thereafter. This new preset is shown in the display. • Use the FX control to edit the effect. Effect mix is shown in the display. After 3 seconds, the display shows the preset number again. The decimal point in the 2-digit display blinks each time you make a change. • To store an edit, keep the IN/OUT key pressed for about 2 seconds. This overwrites the previous settings. • To restore factory presets (reset function), keep IN/OUT pressed while powering up the V-TONE. 4.1 FXT-effects tracking Speaker cabinets are 8 to 16 Ω each Fig. 3.5: GMX1200H with two speaker cabinets FXT is an extremely useful function that lets you assign a specific effect to each channel of the V-TONE, and then activate these effects when you switch between the channels. This way, you can for example assign a DELAY effect to the MODELING CHANNEL 1, and assign a REVERB/CHORUS combination effect to the MODELING CHANNEL 2. A single tap on the CHANNEL key or the footswitch lets you switch between the channels, and the V-TONE automatically loads up the correct effect. When MIDI is active, the above no longer applies. You can switch between the channels and the effects independently from one another. How MIDI is activated is described in ch. 4.3. 4. Effects Processor Effects are the icing on the cake when it comes to creative sound designs. On the one hand, direct recordings (i.e. recordings without a microphone, which is possible with the V-TONE) are all about placing the guitar sound in an artificially created space since no natural ambience is possible. On the other, effects such as delay, chorus, flanger and tremolo are an integral part of the modern guitar sound. For this reason, we've equipped the V-TONE with an effects processor that lets you create a professional-grade sound that you are used to hearing on your favorite recordings. This way, you are one giant step closer to emulating your fave sounds without having to schlep a rackfull of effects everywhere you go. The integrated multi-effects processor offers the same audio quality found in our 19" effects unit VIRTUALIZER PRO, known for being used in studios. You get 31 different groups of first-class effects at your disposal, for example reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, compressor, expander, Wah variations, various combination effects and even tube and speaker simulations. All in all, there are 99 presets you can use, offering you a wide variety of differentsounding effects. You can edit one parameter on each preset directly on the V-TONE and three parameters via MIDI. Additionally, the multi-effects processor lets you mix and match different effects with different speakers, depending on each preset. Presets can be overwritten with your own creations. 4.2 The effects 0 Reverb: Reverb is still the most important effect for mixing or live performance. That's why we at BEHRINGER make a point of giving you as many as nine different reverb programs so that you can use the most suitable reverb program for any situation. The Reverb effect 0 uses a medium pre-delay. 01-02 Spring Reverb: Even on a guitar amp with digital multi-effects, you should still be able to use a classic spring reverb. This effect simulates the typical sound of the spring reverb known from countless guitar amps, and without having the negative effect of producing rattling noises when the amp vibrates. 03-04 Studio: This effect simulates the characteristics of midsize rooms. This spatial simulation sounds very natural and can be used in various setups. 05-06 Chamber: You really get the feeling you're dealing with some serious walls. This effect is ideal for creating reverb that doesn't come through as a clear effect, and a dry guitar sound gets some natural feeling instilled into it. 07-08 Stage: Very nice reverb, great for widening and freshening up the sound of a clean-sounding guitar.
