RECALL switch

In Channel Select Mode, this switch recalls the previously selected program. You can use this to quickly switch between programs in different banks.

Tap switch & LED

This switch is used to set the delay time. The VC-12 measures the time between the last two taps to calculate the delay time. LED blinks to set the time.

CHANNEL-FX ON/OFF switch & LED

This switch is used to toggle between Channel Select Mode and Effect On/Off mode.

In Channel Select Mode, switches 1-4 are used to select programs. LEDs 1-4 indicate the currently selected programs.

In Effect On/Off mode, these switches are used to turn the Pedal, Modulation, Delay, and Reverb effects on and off individually. LEDs 1-4 indicate whether an effects section is on or off.

VC-12 Preset Programs

The VC-12 is capable of storing four banks of Valvetronix amp user programs. Valvetronix amps alone can store 32 programs, whereas the VC-12 offers the user an additional 96 programs for a total of 128 programs (32 x 4 = 128). Programs can be stored from any Valvetronix amp into the VC-12, and loaded into another amp. As an added bonus, the VC-12 can control two Valvetronix amplifiers at one time.

The areas assigned to Switches #1, #2, #3 contain 32 factory-preset programs in each memory bank. Switch #4 is empty. It’s a really good idea to first load your 32 Valvetronix amp programs to Switch #4 so they will be safely stored in the VC-12’s memory.
