Where Are the Tubes?

Behringer's proprietary VTC (Virtual Tube Circuitry) gives the AT108 its in-your-face tube amp tone. It's an amp with such rich, harmonic character and buttery tube-like goodness, you'll wonder where we hid the tubes.

Just plug in a dynamic mic and an acoustic guitar, and you're ready to rock the coffee shop. A three-band EQ gives you precise tone-shaping capabilities.

A Little Privacy
If you're not yet ready for primetime, or just need to hold a low-key rehearsal, the AT108 features a 1 /4" input for playing along with your favorite songs, and a headphone input for private jamming.

Built to Last
The AT108's electronic components are built into a robust metal enclosure for maximum protection. The cabinet is made of high-grade wood covered with durable vinyl.
