COOL VC-4 FUNCTION ALERT!

USING THE VC-4 WHEN THE AMP’S IN MANUAL MODE

(just in case you’ve forgotten you can)

As you learned from “The Guitarist’s Guide” that accompanied your Valvetronix amp, MANUAL MODE (a.k.a. “what you see is what you get” mode!) is a pretty cool feature. And, as you’ve also been reading, whenever the amp is in switched to MANUAL MODE the VC-4 goes there as well and “” appears in its BANK DISPLAY. Furthermore, as you’ve also just learned, even though you can’t get out of MANUAL MODE using the VC-4 (you have to do that at the amp), you can enter TUNER MODE and SILENT TUN- ING MODE by stepping on it. Even cooler is this…

When your Valvetronix combo is in MANUAL MODE, your VC-4 works in exactly the same way it does when it is in INDIVIDUAL MODE!! This means you can use SWITCH 1 – 4 to switch the PEDAL, MODULATION, DELAY and REVERB Sections on/off, use the TAP TEMPO SWITCH to change delay time and use the BUILT-IN PEDAL as either a VOLUME or EXPRESSION controller. And, you can tune your axe in silence too? Pinch me, it must be Christmas!
