VIRTUBE VT100FXH/VT100FX/VT250FX/VT50FX

3.2Recording set-up with effects device

If you want to use your VIRTUBE in a home-recording or studio environment, please wire it as shown in fig. 3.2. Of course, you can still use a CD player or drum computer in this set-up. This is not shown here to provide for a better overview. Connect the input of the effects device to the FX SEND and the effects output to the FX RETURN.

If you want to record your guitar signal with effects, connect the PHONES output to your mixing console, audio sequencer or multi-track recorder.

To record a “dry” guitar signal with no effect, it is best to use the FX SEND connector. You can use both outputs at the same time, for example, to record signals via the FX SEND output (no effect), while monitoring them via the PHONES output (with effect).

Instead of an external 19” effects processor, you can also use a wah-wah pedal or other stomp box. However, please note that the FX LOOP is post-preamp, i.e. after the distortion stages.

3.3Live set-up with external speaker box

Fig. 3.3 shows how the LINE OUT signal is routed to a mixing console. You can connect external guitar speaker boxes to the SPEAKER OUT outputs of the VIRTUBE (VT100FX and VT50FX have only one output) to achieve more power and higher volume levels on stage. When the VT250FX is used, we recommend connecting two separate speaker cabinets for stereo applications or one stereo cabinet (e.g. BEHRINGER ULTRASTACK BG412H).
