1. INTRODUCTION
With the FIREBIRD you purchased a retro-style guitar amp that offers you lots of
practical uses in a really cool design. When developing the GX108, our top-priority
goal was to perfect the sound of vintage analog guitar amps and combine it with
a set of useful connection and expansion options.
With the FIREBIRD GX108 we purposefully went back to the roots of guitar
amplification. We realized the idea “less is more” by designing a “nostalgic” practice
amp that allows you to fully unfold your creativity. The GX108 is characterized by
its design and the retro-style distortion of early electric guitar amps, which it
reproduces with great authenticity.
1.1
Before you begin
Your GX108 was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to
protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you
carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage,
which may have occurred during transit.
+
If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but
notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise
claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Shipping
claims must be made by the consignee.
Please ensure that your GX108 is set to the correct supply voltage before
you connect the unit to the AC power system! Three triangular markings can
be found on the fuse holder at the AC power connection socket. Two of these
three triangles will be aligned with one another. The GX108 is set to the operating
voltage shown next to these markings and can be switched over by twisting the
fuse holder by 180°. IMPORTANT: This does not apply to export models
designed only for 115 V ~!
Please ensure sufficient air circulation around the unit and do not place the GX108
close to a radiator or other heating system, so as to avoid overheating.
+
Please note that all units must have a proper ground connection. For
your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor of
the unit or of the AC power cable.
