ULTRACOUSTIC AT108

FOREWORD

Dear musician,

Congratulations and thank you very much for purchasing the AT108, BEHRINGER’s newest addition to the acoustic instrument amp family.

The ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 offers the latest in acoustic instrument amps, and is guaran- teed to be an inspiring companion wherever music takes you.

Had anybody told you a few years ago that one day you’d be able to buy an instrument amp with authentic tube sound at such an unbeatable

price, you would have probably called him nuts. But I wanted this amp to become reality, and now we’ve actually made it! With our ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 you can now follow in the footsteps of all the big guitar legends. Simply unpack it, plug it in and you’re ready to go! The ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 gives you everything your heart desires.

What we really wanted was to give you a truly high-quality guitar amp. Believe me: With all those years of experience under our belt, we know what an amp needs to put up with. No matter how often you practice or how many sessions you have with your friends: when it comes to quality and sound, your ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 will give you years and years of pure enjoyment.

Now, just in case you’re wondering how we can offer such a high-quality guitar amp at such an unbelievably low price... the answer is totally simple: it’s thanks to you! Many satisfied customers means large volumes of units sold. Many units sold means better purchase prices for components, and so on. So, we just passed this price advantage on to you. It’s only fair, isn’t it?

Enough talk now. One day, when you’re one of those legendary guitarists yourself, we hope you’ll say that your first real guitar amp was a BEHRINGER. In that case, you have made a dream come true for us, too.

We wish you lots of success!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer
