6 UL TRA TWIN GX212 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the ULTRATWIN GX212. With the ULTRATWIN, you have acquired a modern guitar workstation that sets new standards in guitar amp engineering.
7 UL TRA TWIN GX212 1. 1 Design concept The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs the best choice of components. The operational amplifiers used in the ULTRATWIN are exceptional: they boast extreme linearity and very low distortion characteristics.
8 UL TRA TWIN GX212 The mains connection of the ULTRATWIN is made by using the enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements. + Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection.
9 UL TRA TWIN GX212 8 The MID BOOST button allows you to raise the midrange frequencies in the OVERDRIVE channel. When the button is on, the associated control LED lights up. 9 Use the MORPHING control to crossfade between the various distortion characteristics available.
10 UL TRA TWIN GX212 numbers will be stored with the channels and can be recalled using the footswitch or the front panel buttons. When MIDI is on, this assignment feature will be disabled, so that in this mode both channels and effects can be selected separately.
11 UL TRA TWIN GX212 32 The connectors EXT. LEFT and EXT. RIGHT allow for connecting external loudspeakers. Please always connect speakers with a minimum resistance of 4 W . Maximum power will be delivered if 8 W speakers are connected. Push down the INTERNAL OFF button (see ) to operate external speakers.
12 UL TRA TWIN GX212 2. WIRING EXAMPLES 2. 1 Standard setup consisting of guitar, footswitch and external effects device To use your ULTRATWIN for rehearsals or on stage, please wire up the unit as shown in fig.

14 UL TRA TWIN GX212 3. EFFECTS PROCESSOR A very special feature of your ULTRATWIN 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.

16 UL TRA TWIN GX212 1 7 - 19 Wah/Delay/Distortion: In general, filters are used to provide some static equalization of a signals 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.
17 UL TRA TWIN GX212 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.
18 UL TRA TWIN GX212 4 3 - 47 Chorus/Delay: First, the signal is chorused with various intensities, then follows a delay effect with various feedback levels and adjustable delay time.
19 UL TRA TWIN GX212 5 7 - 61 Flanger/Delay: The first element is a flanger with various intensity levels, then comes a delay effect with adjustable delay time.
20 UL TRA TWIN GX212 6 9 -7 0 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.
21 UL TRA TWIN GX212 7 5 - 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.
22 UL TRA TWIN GX212 9 0- 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.
23 UL TRA TWIN GX212 9 7 -9 9 Speaker Cabinet: This algorithm emulates three different types of speaker cabinets. Additionally, you can shift the speakers main resonance peak. Various degrees of resonance emphasis allow you to emulate different speaker characteristics.
24 UL TRA TWIN GX212 Additionally, you can deactivate the LFO in LFO-controlled modulation effects, and modulate these effects with MIDI controller #15. To activate this MIDI controller, you need to set the LFO speed to zero, either on the ULTRATWIN or by means of the corresponding MIDI controller.
25 UL TRA TWIN GX212 5. INSTALLATION Your BEHRINGER ULTRATWIN was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.
