V-AMP 2

Fig. 3.1: Calling up presets

In this case, by pressing button A, B, C or E you can immediately call up another preset of the same bank. The two arrow keys (BANK UP und BANK DOWN) enable you to switch banks. The display on the V-AMP 2 always shows which bank has been selected. When you switch banks, the preset has to be called up by pressing one of the buttons A - E. An LED lights up to show you which preset in the respective bank has been activated.

3.2 Editing presets

Editing presets is fast and simple with the V-AMP 2. The best way is to call up a preset you like and then start editing it. Select any amp model by means of the AMPS encoder. The LED on the preset button flashes (e.g. D) and signals that you have made a change.

Now change the settings of the VOLUME, BASS, MID, TREBLE and GAIN controls as you like. If you select an effect, you can adjust its part in the overall sound using the EFFECTS control. You then switch to EDIT mode by pressing the arrow keys simultaneously. If you use buttons B - E to activate the DRIVE, CABINETS, REVERB and NOISE GATE functions respectively and then edit using the arrow keys, the value of the respective parameter is shown in the display. To leave EDIT mode, briefly press the TUNER button.

If you hold the TAP button down while using the TREBLE control, you can raise or lower an additional higher- frequency filter (PRESENCE). This simulates the frequency-sensitive coupling of tube amps.

Apart from compressor and auto wah, all the multi-effects have a speed-based parameter. Assuming you want to set the effect you’ve selected to the tempo of your playback: just tap the TAP button twice in time to the music and the effect tempo will match the tempo of your piece.

3.3 Storing presets

To store your edited preset, hold down the preset button required for approx. 2 seconds for the preset to be overwritten (the corresponding LED lights up throughout).

You do not necessarily have to store your edited preset in place of the original preset selected. If you choose a different storage position, select the preset bank you want using the arrow keys (BANK UP and BANK DOWN). You can then store your changes by holding down the preset button for approx. two seconds. For example, you can edit a preset originally stored in bank five, position D, and then store it in bank six, position A.

3.4 Discarding an edited preset/recovering a factory-programmed preset

If you have edited a preset and find that you don’t like the edited version, you can, of course, discard it. Let’s assume you’ve selected and then edited preset C (the corresponding LED has lit up), but you would now like to return to the configuration stored previously. Simply select another preset. The next time you call up the
