Our first analog modeling amp is bound to become a staple for guitarists of all musical styles, whether for practice, warm-up, rehearsal or recording. It’s also a natural for recording studios and engineers that like to have their own personal arsenal of amps to ensure optimal results no matter what the band brings along.
With three amp models, three modes and three speaker simulations, all based on pure analog circuitry with no digital components, the GM110 gives you 27 various authentic basic tones, supported by an original JENSEN® / BUGERA speaker and our revolutionary DYNAMIZER circuitry. All in a compact, rugged combo, at the price of a good stomp box.
For additional sound-shaping power, the straight-ahead top panel with its attractive V-TONE-style knobs sports a drive control, a powerful and extremely musical 3-band EQ and a level control next to the three slide switches for amp, mode and speaker selection. Further, the GM110 features a serial effects loop for outboard processors or effects and a professional, balanced DI out with an XLR connector and a ground lift switch, which delivers the full preamp sound including all amp, mode, speaker, drive, EQ and level settings for recording applications or connection of an external power amp, plus a speaker out which automatically mutes the internal speaker.
In keeping with the tonal concept of our first analog modeling amp, we gave it a rugged enclosure with authentic black vinyl covering, oversized chrome steel corners and classy black grill cloth. As with all of our combos, the GM110 also features a generously proportioned power supply that won’t buckle under when you crank it up.

I like the look of that price…in fact, unless someone at BEHRINGER has put the decimal point in the wrong place, you might just be looking at the bargain of the year. For the price of a (heavy) night out, the Vintager supplies great tone – even up against the big guns – coupled with outrageous versatility. OK, so that same low price might suggest it’s a modeling amp for the first-time buyer, but in reality the Vintager’s sheer quality makes it viable for anyone. A little beauty.
Pros: Great tone; plenty of versatility; ludicrous price tag

This small amp has a ridiculously high specification list for its relatively tiny asking price. The good folks at BEHRINGER must have placed a bet in the office as to how much they could cram into this little offering. So is it all just show or is it a true goer? Answer – it rocks like, big time, dude! All in all, this is a corking, stomping, tie-your-mother-down kind of amp.
