3. APPLICATIONS
3.2 Recording setup with an
external effects device
Fig. 3.2: Recording setup
If you want to use your V-TONE in home recording or studio
situations, we suggest wiring your equipment as illustrated in
figure 3.2. Of course, you can continue using a CD player or a
drum computer. However, for claritys sake weve omitted those
two in this illustration. Connect the input of your effects unit to
the INSERT SEND connector of the V-TONE; connect the output
on your effects unit to the INSERT RETURN connector on the
V-TONE.
If you wish to record the guitar signal together with the stereo
effects, connect the LINE outputs to your mixer, audio sequencer
or a multi-track recorder. To record the dry guitar signal without
the internal effects, it is best to use the INSERT SEND connector
on the V-TONE. You can also use both outputs at the same time
to for example record the dry signal without permanently
committing to a single effect. At the same time, the LINE output
(with the effect signal) lets you listen to yourself while recording.
Of course, you can insert a Wah pedal or some other stomp
box instead of an external 19" effects unit. To achieve a parallel
stereo insert, you can connect the effect return to the AUX
input, and then use the AUX IN control to determine the extent to
which the effect is present. In this case, the effects unit should
be set up to 100% effect signal, and the INSERT RETURN
connector should have nothing plugged into it.
If you want to use another guitar preamp or a modeling amp
(e. g. the V-AMP 2 or the V-AMP PRO), connect it to the SLAVE IN
connectors (except for the GMX110). Then the V-TONE operates
only as a power amp, and its preamp section is not active.
3.3 Live setup with a MIDI foot controller
Fig. 3.3: Setup with a MIDI foot controller and an
external loudspeaker
In this illustration, weve omitted the headphones and the
additional equipment from figure 3.1; this illustration serves as
an expansion of the standard setup.
You can use the MIDI foot controller to control channel and effects
changes, volume, Wah and so on. (Additional information about MIDI
can be found in section 4.3). The LINE OUT signal with the speaker
simulation can be fed into your mixer or your P.A. systems stagebox.
External guitar loudspeakers can be connected to the loud-
speaker outputs of the GMX212 in order to get more punch and
higher volume on the stage. You can do this in two ways: use
two separate loudspeakers for stereo applications, or use a
single stereo box (e.g. the BEHRINGER ULTRASTACK BG412V).
Instead of loudspeaker outputs, the GMX110 features a single
SPEAKER OUT connector ( ) used for connecting an external
loudspeaker.
