The GAIN control determines the volume of the CLEAN

you to add some slight distortion to your clean sound, giving
it a bit of "dirt" or "crunch".

{6}
frequencies on the CLEAN channel.

OVERDRIVE CHANNEL

The OVERDRIVE CHANNEL LED lights up when the chan-
{9}
nel is active.
The GAIN control determines the amount of gain applied
[10]
and hence the degree of distortion in the OVERDRIVE
channel.
The OD1/OD2 button (VT100FXH and VT100FX only)
[11]
switches between two different overdrive sounds.
The BASS control in the EQ section allows you to raise or
[12]
lower the bass frequencies on the OVERDRIVE channel.

[13]
you can raise or lower the midrange frequencies on the
OVERDRIVE channel.
The TREBLE control adjusts the treble frequencies on the
[14]
OVERDRIVE channel.
Use the CONTOUR control for additional, highly characteris-
[15]
tic adjustment of the midrange, allowing you to easily create
traditional as well as ultra-modern guitar sounds.
The VOLUME control adjusts the volume level of the OVER-
[16]
DRIVE channel.

The VTC push button activates and deactivates the VTC
[23]
Virtual Tube Circuitry.
The CD IN connector allows you to connect the output signal
[24]
of a CD player, tape deck, or CD/MD walkman. For example,
you can play back music CDs or CDs accompanying a guitar
tutor while practising. This connector can also be used as
a LINE OUT output. In this case, the guitar signal is output
with no speaker simulation applied and can be routed to
an external amp or mixing console. This will not mute the
VIRTUBE's built-in loudspeaker.
The LINE OUT/PHONES jack is for headphones connection.
[25]
Internal speaker simulation is applied to the headphones sig-
nal in order to produce an authentic signal. The VIRTUBE's
built-in loudspeaker is muted when this connector is used.
The headphones output signal can also be routed to a
+
mixing console or other sound reinforcement system. To
do so, connect the headphones output with the line input
on the mixing console. Use a standard cable with 1/4" TS
connectors. If hum problems occur, you could insert a
DI box, e.g. BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI DI100 or DI120.
Some headphones tend to produce distortion with too
+
high a volume level . Please turn down the volume a bit,
until distortion stops.
The POWER switch turns your VIRTUBE on and off. It
[26]
should always be in the OFF position when connecting the
unit to the mains.
