X V-AMP

2nd FUNCTION. As soon as any second-layer function on the FX/AMPS control is dialed up, 2nd FUNCTION LED lights up.

FX/AMPS. A LED on the FX/AMPS control indicates the current AMP model. If the 2nd FUNCTION LED is also lit up, you’re dealing with one of the second-layer AMP models (gray); if not, then one of the first-layer AMP models is selected (white). By turning FX/AMPS (and by holding tap, if necessary), you can switch to another AMP model.

IF the effect block is selected (MODULATION , DELAY

or REVERB LED blinks), the respective effect type can be read-off and selected using the FX/AMPS control. By turning the FX/AMPS control (and by holding TAP, if necessary), you can switch to another effect.

+If one of the AMPS LEDs lights up (right half), use ADJUST to control either GAIN or VOLUME.

+If one of the EFFECT LEDs lights up (left half), use ADJUST to control the respective effect parameters.

The DISPLAY indicates which preset has been selected and gives information on the modifications done during editing. When the TUNER is activated, the DISPLAY indi- cates which tone is played on the instrument you connected to your X V-AMP.

DOWN. Use this footswitch to dial down presets (99 - 00, downwards). Keep the footswitch depressed longer to skip through the presets downwards.

UP. Use this footswitch to dial up presets (00 - 99, upwards). Keep the footswitch depressed longer to skip through the presets upwards.

+By simultaneously pressing both footswitches, the TUNER/BYPASS mode is activated. To deactivate it, you can simply press one of the footswitches. Additional information on the TUNER can be found in chapter 7 “TUNER”.

EXPRESSION PEDAL. The expression pedal controls (among others) the Wah Wah effect. The switch located beneath the pedal switches the Wah Wah on and off in this case.

PEDAL ASSIGN lets you assign another function to the

pedal (e. g. volume, effect intensity etc.). See also .

LINE OUT/PHONES. You can take the audio signal of your X V-AMP at the LINE OUT/PHONES connector. You can either connect your headphones to the X V-AMP, or connect the X V-AMP to a mixer.

MONO AMP OUT. Connect the input of your guitar amp here. In contrast to the LINE OUT/PHONES signal, this signal is reproduced with a level that is 20 dB lower.

INSTRUMENT INPUT. This is the 1/4" jack input of your X V-AMP. Connect your instrument here. Always use high- quality 1/4" mono jack cables.

AC IN. Connect the enclosed power supply to the AC IN connector. As soon as you plug the power supply into the mains, your X V-AMP is automatically “on”. More information on the power supply can be found in chapter 9

3.OPERATING MODES (CONFIGURATIONS)

An outstanding characteristic of the entire V-AMP product line is the freedom to personally select which signal segments (according to your own needs and desires) will be fed to the outputs. To optimally adjust your X V-AMP to various studio and live situations, you can select one of the 9 possible configurations. These configurations assign where individual signals for line outputs and headphone outputs are coming from—and all this independent from the settings stored in the presets.

3.1 Selecting a CONFIGURATION

When you press NOISE GATE and COMPRESSOR at the same time, CONFIGURATION mode is activated or deactivated. The key LEDs are blinking as long as you are in CONFIGURATION mode.

Dialing up individual configurations in CONFIGURATION mode

is done by using NOISE G.

and COMPR.

. A table with

the respective configurations is shown below.

 

Volume is adjustable globally by using the ADJUST control.

Input gain can be adjusted using ADJUST + TAP, so that you can adjust your X V-AMP globally to instruments with varying output signal levels, whereby the following goes: a higher setting is for quieter instruments, and a lower setting is for louder
