Recording set-up with effects device

Fig. 3.2: Recording set-up with the VT100FX
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.

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 con-
necting two separate speaker cabinets for stereo applications or
one stereo cabinet (e.g. BEHRINGER ULTRASTACK BG412H).
