VINTAGER AC112
18
The AUX IN control in the Master section determines the volume of the AUX signal fed in via the AUX IN
jacks on the rear of the VINTAGER (e.g. drum computer, playback).
19
The PRESENCE control in the Master section boosts/cuts the higher midrange frequencies in both
channels.
20
The EFFECT A control determines the ratio of original and effect signals. Depending on the preset
selected, you can either control the ratio of original and left-channel effect signal, or of original and
first-effect signal (combination effects). Some effects use this control to edit a second, effect-specific
parameter.
21
The EFFECT B control determines the mix of original and effect signals. Depending on the preset
selected, you can either control the ratio of original to right-channel effect signal, or of original to
secondary-effect signal (combination effects). Some effects use this control to edit a third, effect-
specific parameter.
+When you start editing a preset, the decimal point in the 2-digit display starts flashing. Press
the ENTER button for a while to overwrite the factory preset and save your own effect setting.
To restore the factory presets, simply press and keep the ENTER button while you switch on
your VINTAGER.
22
Use the EFFECT button to activate/deactivate the selected effect.
23
The MASTER control in the Master section determines the overall volume level of your VINTAGER.
24
The 1/4" stereo jack allows you to monitor the VINTAGERs audio signal with a pair of commercially
available headphones. Connecting the headphones will mute the built-in speaker.
+Since speakers can have quite an impact on the sound of a guitar amp, both the headphones
and LINE OUT signals are frequency-corrected (Speaker Emulation). Without this frequency
correction extreme treble frequencies would deteriorate the sound. You can still tap the
unprocessed signal directly after the pre-amp (INSERT SEND jack), without interrupting the
signal path in the amplifier (INSERT RETURN jack may not be used in this case). Starting with
a certain volume level, low-impedance headphones may begin to produce distortion. In such
a case, please reduce the volume by turning down the VOLUME controls.

Use the POWER switch to put the VINTAGER into operation.

FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that the voltage indicated on the unit matches
your local voltage, before you attempt to connect and operate the VINTAGER AC112. Blown fuses may
only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Some models allow for inserting the fuse holder
in two different positions, in order to switch over from 230 V to 115 V operation, and vice versa. Please
note that for 115 V operation outside Europe, you need to use a fuse of a higher rating (see chapter 5
INSTALLATION).
