VINTAGER AC108

3. CONTROL ELEMENTS

Connect  your  guitar  to  the 

INST(RUMENT)  INPUT

  jack,

using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4" TS connector.
The 

GAIN

  control  determines  the  volume  level  and  the

amount  of  distortion.  Use  GAIN  to  adjust  the  amount

of  distortion  and  the 

MASTER

  control  to  set  the  volume

level 

.

+

If  the 

GAIN

  switch 

  is  not  pressed,  the  GAIN

control  is  disabled.  In  this  case,  the  volume  can

only  be  set  with  the  MASTER  control 

.

The  GAIN  switch  provides  additional  boost  on  the  guitar

channel.
The 

BASS 

control  allows  you  to  boost  or  cut  the  low-

frequency  range.
Guitar amps are optimally matched to the sound of guitars

by  shifting  the  point  at  which  middle  frequencies  are

lowered. Pressing the 

SHIFT

 button enacts this function.

The 

TREBLE

 control governs the high-frequency range to

give your guitar a more “cutting” sound.
Use the 

CD INPUT

 to connect the output of your CD player,

tape deck, CD or MD walkman, for example, to practice and

play along to music or guitar tutorial CDs.
This  connector  is  a  1/4"  TRS  jack.  If  your  CD  player  is

equipped with cinch outputs, you‘ll need an adapter cable,

which you can buy at your local music shop. Illustration 4.3

in  chapter  4.  “AUDIO  CONNECTIONS”  shows  you  what

kind of adapter to buy. You can also use a mono cable (fig.

4.4). This will not damage your CD player or guitar amp.
The 

MASTER

 control determines the overall volume of your

AC108. Whenever you press the POWER switch or unplug

your guitar, be sure to set the MASTER control to zero first.

Otherwise, a loud crackling noise may be produced, which

could damage your loudspeaker or even your hearing.
The 

HEADPHONE

 jack is for headphone. When you plug

in your headphone, the built-in loudspeaker is muted.

+

The headphone signal can also be routed to a mixing

console  or  sound  reinforcement  system.  Connect

the  headphone  output  on  your  AC108  to  the  line

input  (LINE  IN)  on  the  console  (for  example,

BEHRINGER EURORACK UB1222FX-PRO). You can also

use  mono  cables.

+

Some  headphones  produce  distortion  if  the  volume

level is too high. Please cut back the MASTER control

until  the  distortion  disappears.

Use  the 

POWER 

switch  to  switch  on  your  AC108.

 

The

POWER switch should be set to “Off” before you connect

your guitar amp to the mains.

+

Please note: The POWER switch does not disconnect

the  unit  from  the  mains.  Unplug  the  power  cord

when  you  don’t  want  to  use  the  unit  for  some  time.

. Please take the time to fill out and return

the warranty card enclosed with your VINTAGER AC108

within  14  days  of  the  date  of  purchase  to  benefit  from

our  extended  warranty.  Or  register  online  at

No  matter  which  way  you  adjust  the  controls  on  your  guitar

amp: the sound of your guitar also has some influence on the

overall sound. We would therefore like to give you a few tips to

get you started.

+

Most  guitars  sound  best  when  their  tone  and

volume  controls  are  turned  up  as  much  as  possible.

Experiment with the controls to find out how you can modify

the sound to your liking. Experienced guitarists write down their

favorite settings or attach stickies underneath the controls.
