A Virtual Roomful of Gear
The 2 x 60-Watt GMX212 is the perfect amp for the guitarist in need of a wide variety of tone. Take your pick of three amp voicings:
- TWEED gives you the soulful, bluesy sound of vintage 50s amps
- BRITISH gives you the hard-rocking sound of the 1960s British Invasion
- CALIF gives you the sparkling clean tones of the American West Coast's most famous amps
Speaker Emulation
Combine the above amp emulations with one of three speaker voicings for an even wider tonal palette:
- UK simulates 4 x 12" speakers in an enclosed cabinet
- US simulates 2 x 12" speakers in an open casing
- FLAT is a special setting designed especially for the GMX212's 12-inch BUGERA speakers
Select from CLEAN, HI GAIN or HOT gain settings to go from clean to heavy overdrive, then apply one of 99 digital effect presets for a sound that's uniquely yours. Meanwhile, Behringer's patented DYNAMIZER circuitry captures every nuance of your playing, lending warm tube-like compression to your tone.
Effects Galore
The GMX212 features an on-board, 24-bit stereo multi-effects processor with a bevy or world-class effects--chorus, flanging, phasing, rotary, auto-wah, echo, delay, compressor and various effect combinations are available, along with 99 user presets and MIDI control.
Channel Your Tone
Its tonal options may be vast and sophisticated, but at its core the GMX212 handles just like a classic guitar amp. Plug into the 1/4" input jack and then take your pick of two channels, each with GAIN, LEVEL, and three-band EQ. You can use the included footswitch to toggle remotely between the two channels – go from clean and reverb-drenched to distorted and delayed at the touch of a button. Put the finishing touches on your sound with the PRESENCE and MASTER dials.
Stay In Tune
Thanks to the integrated auto-chromatic tuner (controllable via the included footswitch), there's no need for an external tuning pedal.
Back Panel Discussion
We have given the GMX212 an extensive back panel for even more sound routing options. There you will find a loudspeaker output for connecting an additional speaker cabinet, a headphone output with speaker simulation, an adjustable AUX IN for devices like drum machines, and an RCA INPUT allowing you to play along with a CD player. There are stereo RCA and line outputs with speaker simulation for direct recording. An additional 1/4" jack connects to external effects devices. Plug a MIDI controller such as the Behringer FCB1010 into the GMX212's MIDI IN for even further remote control over the onboard effects.
