    1.3 Control elements Fig. 1.1: The front panel of the VINTAGER The BEHRINGER VINTAGER AC112 features 15 controls, five push-buttons and one 2-digit, 7-segment LED display on its front panel. Additionally, there are two 1/4" jacks for input and headphones.
  • Page 9 VINTAGER AC112 Use both VOLUME controls to optimize the volume ratio of the two channels, so that no volume differences can be heard when switching from one channel to the other. This setting is also effective on the level-dependent digital effects! The BASS control in the EQ section allows you to boost/cut the bass frequencies in the OVERDRIVE channel.

    FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that the voltage indicated on the unit matches your local voltage, before you attempt to connect and operate the VINTAGER AC112. Blown fuses may only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Some models allow for inserting the fuse holder in two different positions, in order to switch over from 230 V to 115 V operation, and vice versa.

  • Page 11: Wiring Examples

    VINTAGER AC112 MIDI IN. This connector gives you MIDI remote control over your VINTAGER. You can change parameters using controller information, switch over effect programs, change channels and bypass the effects module by means of program change instructions. The LINE OUT provides the VINTAGER’s audio signal in stereo, for example, to send it to a recording machine.

    VINTAGER AC112 3. EFFECTS PROCESSOR A very special feature of your VINTAGER is its built-in effects processor, which offers the same audio quality and algorithms as our popular 19" effects devices VIRTUALIZER PRO and MODULIZER PRO. This effects module provides 31 different groups of first-class effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, compressor, expander, wah-wah variations, various combination effects and even tube and speaker emulation.

  • Page 15 VINTAGER AC112 17-19 Wah/Delay/Distortion: In general, filters are used to provide some static equalization of a signal’s frequency response. The wah effect – combined with delay and distortion in this preset – allows the mid- range frequencies to pass, while it more or less suppresses the remaining frequency ranges. Guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton made this effect popular, and it still hasn’t gone out of fashion.
  • Page 16 VINTAGER AC112 The LFO speed of all modulation effects is controlled by the PARAMETER control. EFFECT A controls the effect intensity or depth. High values produce a very intensive effect. In the case of the tremolo algorithm, EFFECT A adjusts the panning between left and right, and vice versa.

  • Page 19 VINTAGER AC112 69-70 Magic Drive: This is an absolutely up-to-date effect combined with a delay. EFFECT A governs the basic character of the effect in 32 steps, PARAMETER adjusts the delay time, and EFFECT B controls the delay mix. As a little extra, this effect includes an LFO-controlled notch filter, which is added as of Variation #24.
  • Page 20 VINTAGER AC112 75-81 Pitch Shifter: This effect shifts the pitch of the input signal and can be used to produce musical intervals and harmonies or simply to widen a single voice. Heavy detuning by several semi-tones up creates a Mickey-Mouse-type effect. The preset variations include various fixed intervals for the right channel, while the left channel can be shifted with the PARAMETER control.
  • Page 21 VINTAGER AC112 90-91 Compressor: Often, the signal level exceeds the headroom of signal-processing devices and therefore needs to be limited in its dynamic range, so as to avoid distortion. This job is done by compressors and/ or limiters. Limiters abruptly limit the signal above a specific threshold, while compressors provide for a “soft”...

    MIDI controller information. So, you can change programs via MIDI using a MIDI foot controller or a computer-based sequencer software.
