V-TONE GM108 User Manual

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!
