FOREWORD
1. INTRODUCTION
Dear musician,
first of all, congratulations on selecting this
BEHRINGER guitar amp.
The V-TONE GM108 is
indeed a truly grown-up
modeling amp. As such,
it will provide you with
loads of pure pleasure.
Had somebody claimed
a couple of years ago
that you could get such
a feature-rich modeling
amp at such an unbelievable price, he would
have been made fun of.
If you ask yourself, how do they do it, how can they offer such
a great amp at such an unbelievable price, there is a very simple
answer: you have influenced this price quite a bit! Many satisfied
customers mean large sales volumes, enabling us to get better
purchasing terms for components, etc. We have simply passed
our savings on to you! Thats only fair, isnt it?
Jam!
The V-TONE GM108 is simply an awesome practice amp
because its CD input lets you jam to your favorite CDswithout
upsetting your neighbors! If you want (or are told!) to keep it on
the quiet side, all you need is some headphones. The BEHRINGER
HPS3000, for example, is the perfect choice for exactly that!
Uli Behringer
Always make sure your V-TONE GM108 gets enough air flow
and never put it near the heating or other heat-emitting equipment
to avoid damage to the amp.

2. WIRING HINTS
The following illustrations show you how to connect your
guitar to the amp.
If you want to use stomp boxes or an effects pedal to experiment with different new sounds, simply connect the guitar directly
to the input of your effects unit. Of course, you will need an
additional cable for this purpose to connect the output of the
effects unit to the amp input.
