Behringer GX108 user manual Introduction, Before you begin

1. INTRODUCTION

With the FIREBIRD you purchased a retro-style guitar amp that offers you lots of practical uses in a really cool design. When developing the GX108, our top-priority goal was to perfect the sound of vintage analog guitar amps and combine it with a set of useful connection and expansion options.

With the FIREBIRD GX108 we purposefully went back to the roots of guitar amplification. We realized the idea “less is more” by designing a “nostalgic” practice amp that allows you to fully unfold your creativity. The GX108 is characterized by its design and the retro-style distortion of early electric guitar amps, which it reproduces with great authenticity.

1.1 Before you begin

Your GX108 was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

+If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

Please ensure that your GX108 is set to the correct supply voltage before you connect the unit to the AC power system! Three triangular markings can be found on the fuse holder at the AC power connection socket. Two of these three triangles will be aligned with one another. The GX108 is set to the operating voltage shown next to these markings and can be switched over by twisting the fuse holder by 180°. IMPORTANT: This does not apply to export models designed only for 115 V ~!

Please ensure sufficient air circulation around the unit and do not place the GX108 close to a radiator or other heating system, so as to avoid overheating.

+Please note that all units must have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor of the unit or of the AC power cable.
