V-TONE GM110

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the V-TONE GM110. The GM110 is

a modern Guitar Workstation that sets new standards in practice
amp engineering.

When developing the GM110, our primary objective was to

reproduce the authentic sound of analog guitar amplifiers and at
the same time provide you with a tool for straightforward
recording. The concept of intuitive operation remained a central
consideration. Many people contributed to this intense
development project: 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 unites the very best of both worlds.The demands
placed on a guitar amp are nowadays very broad. A guitarist
should offer a wide array of sounds, but at the same time be
able to quickly adapt to specific requirements of various
applications—be it home recording, studio, live perfor-mances,
etc. That’s why it is very important to us to be able to offer you
a maximal sound diversity as well as diverse connection
possibilities with our V-TONE. Fret not: you will quickly master
the V-TONE and will be able to quickly learn how to use all of its
capabilities easily and intuitively.

With its up-to-date circuitry, the V-TONE features the

functionality and dependability of a truly modern guitar amp. Yet
it is user-friendly and problem-free as if it were a classic tube
combo. We highly recommend taking your time to truly learn all of
the V-TONE’s functions so you can reach its maximum potential.

FOREWORD

Dear Customer,

welcome to the team of
BEHRINGER users, and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in us by pur-
chasing the BEHRINGER
V-TONE.

Writing this foreword for
you gives me great
pleasure, because it
represents the cul-
mination of many months
of hard work delivered
by our engineering team
to achieve a very
ambitious goal: to de-
velop an outstanding
guitar amp that is at the
forefront of what is

technically possible and that can be used in many different
applications. Our guitar amps offer you strong performance,
their sound is amazingly clear, and they are easy to use both as
direct recording amps as well as stage amps. The task of designing
our new V-TONEs certainly meant a great deal of responsibility,
which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and
musician. Meeting your expectations also meant a lot of work
and night shifts. But it was fun, too. Developing a product usually
brings a lot of people together, and what a great feeling it is
when all who participated in such a project can be proud of
what they’ve achieved.

It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because

you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.
With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve
made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making
it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality
as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely
reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to
your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.

We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-

quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is
quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benefit on
to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!

I would like to thank all of you who have made the V-TONE

Series possible. You have all made your own personal
contributions, from the developers to the many other employees
at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.

My friends, it’s been worth the effort!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer
