ULTRAROC GX110
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the ULTRAROC
GX110. With the ULTRAROC, you have acquired a modern Guitar Workstation that sets new standards in
practice amp engineering. When developing the GX110, our top objective was to reproduce the authentic
sound of classical guitar amps as perfectly as we could and combine it with latest DSP technology – while
focusing on an user interface that can be operated intuitively.
BEHRINGER is an audio engineering company that has been successfully developing products for studio and
live applications for many years now. Our range of products includes microphones and a variety of 19" devices
(compressors, enhancers, gates, tube processors, headphone amps, digital effects devices, DI boxes, etc.)
as well as various monitoring and P.A. speakers plus professional live and recording consoles. The name of
BEHRINGER stands for no-compromise quality, fully-featured products and exemplary service – even years
after purchase – as well as sensationally low prices, which allow any ambitious music lovers to make their
musical dreams come true.
We also set great store by flexibility, which has become a particularly important factor in the music business
over the past few years. Modern guitarists need to offer a broad range of sounds, but should still be able to
play in different kinds of applications at short notice: home recording, studio, live concerts. For this reason, it
has always been our prime concern to give you a Guitar Workstation that offers you a complete set of
functions, but can still be operated intuitively and quickly – no matter what kind of style you play.
Unfortunately, conventional guitar amps are often not fully designed and developed. Moreover, many manufacturers
of traditional-style guitar amps are somewhat afraid of using state-of-the-art technology. The ULTRAROC, on
the other hand, is a pioneering guitar amp that has considerably more functions than any conventional 2-channel
amp with a built-in spring reverb. Still, you can use the GX110 so that it mimics an excellently sounding
2-channel combo amp with an – admittedly – good spring reverb (except for that “shatter” sound when the amp
gets knocked over). However, we recommend that you make yourself familiar with the ULTRAROC in full detail,
so that you know what each of the many functions does and be able to fully exploit the numerous effects and
control options provided.
As technology advances, you’ve got to keep track of latest technological breakthroughs to avoid falling by the
wayside. We, too, have continuously improved this amp and included many of your valuable suggestions. We
have spared neither expense nor effort to test different types of circuitry and speakers until the results gave
us complete satisfaction. After all, we really want to give you fully designed and developed products that meet
your expectations in every respect. The ULTRAROC shall be an useful tool for years to come, which is why
we’ve equipped the effects modules of our Guitar Workstation with EPROMS that can be updated. In this way,
we can keep working on new algorithms and considering your ideas and suggestions. The resulting software
updates will be made available for free on the Internet, so as to ensure that your amp will never be outdated.
We’ve packed our entire experience into this latest generation of guitar amps. Many people contributed to this
project of intense development: studio musicians, collectors of vintage guitar amps, music and guitar lovers
alike. We even invited guitar amp tuning experts to help us develop an amplifier that gives you the best of all
worlds:
s Sophisticated analog technology with a “feel factor” only analog technology can provide.
s The perfect emulation of tube-specific nuances to make up for the drawbacks encountered in tube designs
(noise, hum, etc.)
s Latest DSP technology to give you a broad range of modern high-gain and vintage-type effect sounds.
s Rugged and solid construction which even withstands roughest handling.
I Intuitive operation, so that you can focus your mind on what is most important to you: your music!
