VINTAGER GM110
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the VINTAGER 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.
BEHRINGER is an audio engineering company that has been successfully developing products for studio and
live applications for many years. Our range of products includes microphones and a variety of 19" devices
(compressors, enhancers, noise gates, tube processors, headphone amps, digital effects devices, DI boxes,
etc.), as well as various monitoring and P.A. speakers, plus professional live and recording consoles. The
name BEHRINGER stands for no-compromise quality, fully-featured products and exemplary serviceseven
years after purchaseas well as sensationally low prices, which permit all ambitious musicians to fulfil their
true potential.
Our products have great flexibility, which has become a particularly important factor in the music business in
recent years. In this day and age, a guitarist should be able to offer a broad range of sounds, but should still be
able to adapt to different kinds of applications at short notice: home recording, studio, live concerts. For this
reason, it has always been our prime concern to give you a GM110 that offers you maximum tone diversity, but
that can still be operated intuitively and quicklyno matter what kind of style you play.
Unfortunately, conventional guitar amplifiers are often not fully designed and developed. Moreover, many
manufacturers of traditional-style guitar amps shy away from the use of state-of-the-art technology. The VINTAGER
GM110, on the other hand, is a pioneering guitar amp consisting of sophisticated components and incorporating
the very latest circuit technology. Then with the advanced technology you can use the GM110 as easily and
straightforwardly as a classic combo amp, while enjoying the functionality and reliability of a modern guitar
amp. We suggest you get down to some serious music with the GM110 so you can learn about each of its
many functions and exhaust its every last drop of potential.
As technology advances, one has to keep track of the latest technological breakthroughs to avoid falling by the
wayside. We have continuously improved the VINTAGER GM110 and many of your ideas have been incorporated
into the finished product. We have spared no amount of expense and no amount of effort testing different types
of circuitry and speakers and are entirely satisfied with the results. After all, it is in our interests to present you
with a fully designed and fully developed product that meets your requirements in full. Whats more, the GM110
will be a useful tool for years to come.
Weve packed our entire experience in this latest generation of guitar amps. 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:
s Sophisticated analog technology with a feel factor that only analog technology can provide.
s The perfect simulation of specific sound nuances of classic amp designs makes up for the drawbacks
(inability to record directly, great weight, great expense of different amps and boxes).
s Latest analog modeling circuit technology to give you a broad range of modern high-gain and vintage-type
guitar sounds, as well as loudspeaker simulations.
s A solid and robust construction that withstands even the roughest handling and that, thanks to its lightness
and small size, nevertheless offers maximum freedom.
s Intuitive operation to enable you to focus on what really matters: your music!
+ The following manual first describes the terminology used so that you can fully understand the
GM110 and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
