VINTAGER AC108
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! The AC108 you have purchased is a guitar
amplifier with tube technology, giving you the authentic sound of
legendary guitar amps.
The VINTAGER AC108 was specifically designed as a practice
amp. The ULTRATUBE circuit and the carefully selected 12AX7
tube will give your guitar sound that unique vintage character.
With the wide range of sounds available you can also play
hard and distorted sounds. From crystal-clear to ultra-distorted,
anythings possible. And there neednt be any trouble with the
neighbors: just plug in your headphone and get going! But be
careful:
+ High volume levels can damage your hearing or your
headphone. Please turn down the MASTER control
(fully left) before you switch the unit on. Always
make sure you use appropriate volume levels.
Absolute power and tube sound
If you really want to come through strong, your
VINTAGER AC108 will give you the necessary power to truly
impress your friends when rehearsing or even leave your audience
in awe when youre on stage. The wiring examples in fig. 2.1 and
2.2 show you how to connect your guitar amp properly.
Youll always be in control in terms of volume, so you can use
the same great sound for practicing at home and for playing with
your band.
Jam it up!
With its CD player input, your AC108 is the ultimate practice
amp, because it couldnt be easier to play along to your favorite
music. If you dont want anybody listening to what youre playing,
or simply wish to avoid disturbing the neighbors, just use your
headphone. The BEHRINGER HPS3000 is ideal just for that.
A companion for life!
The electronic components in your VINTAGER AC108 have
been built into a robust steel-plate enclosure for maximum
protection. The cabinet is made of high-grade, environmentally
friendly MDF wood covered with especially durable synthetic
leather. The AC108 will never let you down, even when the
going gets tough.
+ Please read the manual carefully and keep it around
for future reference.
FORWORD
Dear musician,
Congratulations and
thank you very much for
purchasing the AC108,
BEHRINGERs newest
addition to the guitar
amp family.
The VINTAGER AC108
offers the latest in
vintage-type guitar amps,
and is guaranteed to
cause endless sleep-
less nights.
Had anybody told you a
few years ago that one
day youd be able to buy
a guitar amp with real
tube circuitry at such an
unbeatable price, you
would have probably
called him nuts. But I wanted this amp to become reality, and
now weve actually made it! With our VINTAGER AC108
you can now follow in the footsteps of all the big guitar
legends. Simply unpack it, plug it in and youre ready to go! The
VINTAGER AC108 gives you everything your heart desires, from
classic clean sounds to solid heavy metal licks.
What we really wanted was to give you a truly high-quality guitar
amp. Believe me: With all those years of experience under our
belt, we know what an amp needs to put up with. No matter how
often you practice or how many sessions you have with your
friends: when it comes to quality and sound, your
VINTAGER AC108 will give you years and years of pure enjoyment.
Now, just in case youre wondering how we can offer such a
high-quality guitar amp at such an unbelievably low price... the
answer is totally simple: its thanks to you! Many satisfied customers
means large volumes of units sold. Many units sold means better
purchase prices for components, and so on. So, we just passed
this price advantage on to you. Its only fair, isnt it?
Enough talk now. One day, when youre one of those legendary
guitarists yourself, we hope youll say that your first real guitar
amp was a BEHRINGER. In that case, you have made a dream
come true for us, too.
We wish you lots of success!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
