BASIC SETTINGS

The following four illustrations show you how you can setup your V-TONE GM108.
These settings greatly differ from one another and let you fully exploit the sound diversity of your amp. That way, you have a
solid foundation for working on developing your own, recognizable sound and tone.
This setting creates a clear sound that is ideal for finger picking. If you want to use stomp boxes, this setting will be very
helpful: The unique sound of your effects will come through more strongly.
Fig. 4.2: Basic setting CLEAN 2
This is a great setting for playing country, jazz or blues.
A hint: Using the pickup closest to the guitar's neck lets you achieve a rich, clean sound. Try using two pickups at the same
time. You'll create an open, bell-like sound.
Fig. 4.3: Basic setting CRUNCH
This setting is optimal for distorted rock guitar parts and power chords.
To get a tighter sound, try using the pickups located farther away from the guitar neck.
Fig. 4.4: Basic setting LEAD
This hot lead guitar sound rocks!
With the almost endless choice of different sounds you have
at your fingertips, you will soon develop your own playing
style and broaden the limits of your skills.
This goes for all settings: What guitar you use with your
V-TONE GM108 will also influence the overall sound of your
playing. That's why we can only give you hints that will make
getting started easier. The bulk of the work lies in your hands.
◊ Most guitars sound at their best when volume and
tone controls on the guitar are turned as far up as they
go.
Experiment with all controls to get more experience and to
figure out how to get the sound you like. When they find a
setting they like, many experienced guitarist write down this
setting to remember it for future use. On page 9 you will find
amp illustrations in which you can enter your own favorite
settings.
A hint: Photocopy this page so you can keep on re-using it
in the future!
