V-TONE GM110
SERIAL NUMBER.
You can use the SPEAKER socket to connect an additional loudspeaker to your V-TONE GM110. The external loudspeaker should have an impedance of 4 Ohms. When using this socket, the internal loudspeaker is muted. For additional information on connecting an external loudspeaker, refer to chapter 4.1.
The 6.3 mm PHONES jack allows you to monitor the GM110’s audio signal with a pair of commercially available headphones. As soon as this socket is used, the loudspeaker will be muted.
Since speakers can have quite an impact on the sound of a guitar amp, both the headphones and D.I. OUT signals are frequency-corrected (with speaker correction). Without this frequency correction extreme treble frequencies would deteriorate the sound.
Low-impedance headphones may begin to produce distortion at certain volume levels. In such cases, please reduce the volume by turning back the MASTER control.
At the D.I. OUT output (balanced XLR socket), you can tap the audio signal of the V-TONE GM110 in order, for example, to feed it into a mixing console and record it. This audio signal is frequency-corrected (Speaker Simulation). The level of the D.I. OUT (max. +22 dBu) is designed to provide simple connection to mixers or other audio devices.
With the GND LIFT switch, you can unplug the electrical bonding of the D.I. OUT, if ground loop or humming problems occur.
FX SEND is the output socket for the serial effects path of the GM110. You can use this to loop in the external effects (e.g. a wah-wah pedal) or to connect an external power amplifier, should you require a greater output. The internal signal path will not be interrupted. The frequency-corrected signal at the FX SEND socket is affected by all GM110 controls.
The output of the looped-in effects device is connected to the FX RETURN socket. When you connect a cable to this socket, you interrupt the internal signal path.
Please note that, when using the serial effects path, the effects device will control the level of wet (affected) signal to dry (direct) signal.
3.WIRING TIPS

Fig. 3.1: Standard set-up for recording with the V-TONE GM110
To use your V-TONE GM110 for rehearsals, in the studio or on stage, please wire up the unit as shown in fig. 2.1. Of course, you can also use a wah-wah or other pedal effect instead of the external 19" effects unit. Connecting the headphones will mute the built- in speaker.
If you wish to use a guitar tuner, please connect it to the FX SEND of your V-TONE GM110. If there is no further effects device connected, you can leave the FX RETURN as it is. When using an external effects device, the tuner should be placed before the effects device to prevent the tuner from receiving any effects signal.
