VC-4 FOOT CONTROLLER

“A Guitarist’s Guide”

ongratulations on buying the VC-4 Foot Con- Ctroller – a pedal board dedicated to control-

ling the AD60VT and AD120VT VOX

Valvetronix combos. As you are about to discover, this incredibly useful controller has three modes

(PROGRAM SELECT MODE, INDIVIDUAL MODE (FX on/off) and TUNER MODE) that enable you to do a whole bunch of cool things with your feet, including the following:

✓Change Programs

✓Control the amp’s volume

✓WAH

✓Control the speed of the U-VIBE pedal model

✓Control the speed of any MODULATION effect being used

✓Tune your axe (including “silent tuning” if you wish)

✓Change the Tempo of the DELAY being used

✓Switch the PEDAL, MODULATION, DELAY and REVERB effects on/off (when the VC-4 is in

INDIVIDUAL MODE)

GETTING HOOKED UP

Hooking up your new VC-4 Foot Controller to your Valvetronix combo really couldn’t be any easier. Simply take the supplied cable and connect one end to the VOX BUS input jack located on the rear panel of the VC-4 (see below)…

INSERT ONE END OF CABLE HERE!

…and connect the other end of it to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack found on the rear panel of your combo (see below)

INSERT OTHER END HERE!

AD60VT

In addition to being self-locking at both ends, this 5- meter (16’ 4”) cable also supplies power to the VC- 4 directly from the amp – meaning that no annoying power supply is needed!

ADDING AN EXTERNAL VOLUME CON-

TROL

As you can see from the picture of the VC-4’s rear panel, you can hook up an external Volume control to it if you’d like. We recommend the optional V850 volume pedal but any volume pedal will suffice.

Doing this obviously adds further to the already impressive flexibility of the VC-4 and will automati- cally set the VC-4’s built-in pedal to Expression mode.

CARE & FEEDING

Although your VC-4 Foot Controller is a sturdy beast that has been specifically designed for you to stomp on, it should be treated with respect. Here are a few “care and feeding” rules that we recom- mend you follow:

➢Never pick up or move your VC-4 around by grabbing hold of the built-in pedal. Always grab hold of its main body.

➢When transporting the VC-4, always disconnect the cable and also the optional external Volume Pedal, should you be using one.

➢Only clean your VC-4 with a damp, soft cloth – like a guitar cleaning cloth for example. NEVER use a wet cloth though, only a damp one.

CABLE SPECS

If you should lose or damage the supplied cord, we recommend you purchase a replacement from your authorized VOX dealer. If however, this is not possi- ble, you can use a similar length (5 meter) 10 Base- T cable…providing it is cable can be purchased from most good computer stores.

WARNING! WARNING! As just stated, the 10 Base-T cable used MUST be “straight” and NOT “cross” (how the two male connectors are wired relative to each other). If a “cross” cable is used, you will DAMAGE your amp and void your warranty. So, if you do use a 10 Base-t cable other than the one supplied, please ensure it is a “straight” one. IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT USE!! Geddit!?
