2.CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS

In this chapter, we will describe different control elements of your X V-AMP. All controls and connectors will be explained in detail, and you will also get useful advice on how to use them.

2.1 Basic advice on using the controls

Here is some quick information about the most basic and most important control elements of your X V-AMP.

s Keys , , , and : use these keys to directly select effects settings and operating modes.

s FX/AMPS control : Uset the right-hand half to select amp simulations in a preset. The corresponding LED lights up. Use the left-hand half to select the effects. When effects blocks are

selected using the keys , and , the LED on the current effect lights up.

s TAP LED : The frequency at which the LED blinks indicates the speed and/or the rhythm of a delay or a modulation effect (also see chapter 6 “EFFECTS PROCESSOR”).

By keeping TAP depressed, 2nd FUNCTION is activated. By

doing this, the second level of the FX/AMPS control (gray)

and ADJUST is accessible.

s Footswitches UP and DOWN : Used to select presets;

these presets are indicated in the DISPLAY . Footswitches

UP and DOWN are also used to activate the BYPASS/ TUNER function (also see chapter 7 “TUNER”).

s DISPLAY LEDs: PEDAL ASSIGN indicates the function to which the pedal has been assigned. CONFIGURATION permanently indicates the selected operating mode.

ADJUST: Used to perform various adjustments. You can find more information about using ADJUST in the descriptions of individual control elements as well as in chapter 6 “EFFECTS PROCESSOR”.

GAIN. Use this control to regulate the drive of the amp simulation, i.e. the degree of distortion. Use it when none

of the keys , , , or are blinking.

VOLUME: If you hold the TAP key depressed, using ADJUST lets you adjust the volume of a preset.

STORE. The presets on the X V-AMP are saved using the STORE key. If the STORE key lights up, it means that a preset has been changed but has not yet been stored. By keeping the STORE key depressed (longer than 2 seconds), the newly edited preset is stored. When the STORE LED is no longer lit up, the stored preset shown in the display is now active.

+After briefly pressing the STORE key (the STORE key blinks), use the UP/DOWN keys to select another storage slot. By briefly pressing the STORE key yet again, the save procedure is canceled. Complete the save by keeping the STORE key depressed for longer than 2 seconds.
