VINTAGER GM110
1. INTRODUCTION
Three triangular markings can be found on the circuit breaker at the AC power connection socket. Two of these
three triangles will be aligned with one another. The VINTAGER GM110 is set to the operating voltage shown
next to these markings and can be switched over by twisting the circuit breaker by 180°.
IMPORTANT: this
does not apply to export models designed only for 115 V AC!
The mains connection is made by using the enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets the
necessary international safety certification requirements.
+
Please make sure that all units 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. You can eliminate
humming problems caused by grounding at the D.I. OUT by pressing the GND switch
(groundlift,
).
1.3 Control elements
1.3.1 Front panel
Fig. 1.1: Front panel control elements
1
INPUT
is the GM110s 1/4" jack input for your guitar. Use a commercial 1/4" jack mono cable (not from
a DIY shop, but from a specialist music dealer).
2
The
DRIVE
control determines the amplification in the input section. It allows you to finely tune the
GM110 preset to the output level of your guitar pick-up (depending on selected amp, mode and speaker
combination) in order to achieve the desired degree of distortion.
+
Use the DRIVE control to set the desired sound and use the LEVEL control to set the desired
volume!
3
The
AMP
switch enables you to emulate the basic sounds from three guitar amp designs; these are
based on classic amp models and will be familiar to you from numerous recordings. The TWEED setting
delivers transparent sounds, clear as a bell, with dynamic bass response. The BRITISH setting has an
aggression that comes straight from the heart and is powerful with an unmistakable ability to make itself
heard. Fuller and more balanced, and yet subtly differentiated, the CALIF(ORNIAN) setting is particularly
suitable for singing lead sounds.
4
With the
MODE
switch, you choose between one of three possible gain settings (CLEAN,
HI GAIN
and
HOT) to achieve the basic sound selected with the AMP switch.
5
The
SPEAKER
switch provides you with simulations of two classic guitar loudspeakers:
4x12"-loudspeakers in a closed back enclosure (U.K.), and 2x12" loudspeakers, open back (U.S.). In
addition, we have also installed a further frequency response correction (FLAT) that is specially adapted
to the GM110 enclosure.
6
The
LOW
control in the EQ section enables you to boost or cut the bass frequencies.
7
With the
MID
control, you can boost/cut the midrange frequencies.
