V-TONE GMX110/GMX112/GMX210/GMX212/GMX1200H
3. Applications
3. Applications
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.
3.1 Practice setup with playback
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.
3.2 Recording setup with an
external effects device
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.
If you want to use another guitar preamp, or a modeling amp
(e. g. the V-AMP 2 or the V-AMP PRO), connect it to the SLAVE
IN connectors (except for the GMX110 and GMX112).
The V-TONE now operates only as a power amp, with its preamp
section inactive.
