By switching into NORM mode, the F V100 is capable of
controlling the volume of two individual musical instruments.
Signals from INPUT 1/2 are led to OUTPUT 1/2. In  V mode the
F V100 can control modulation and volume levels of other musical
instruments by connecting OUTPUT 2 to the volume or modulation
input of the instrument. In  V mode, when OUTPUT 2 is in use,
INPUT/OUTPUT 1 can still be used for controlling the volume of
another instrument, similar to NORM mode. All connections are
made with standard 1/4" TRS plugs.
In NORM mode, these jacks are used to feed separate instrument
inputs with the F V100s input signal. If you only use OUTPUT 2
in  V mode, the F V100 functions as a V controller.
Turning the MIN VOL control fully clockwise will increase the
volume at the minimum setting. This allows you to set the volume
range.
You can set the volume level by either turning the volume level
control or by pressing the pedal until you reach the desired
volume level.

since the control signal comes exclusively from OUTPUT 2. As
stated before, you may use INPUT 1/OUTPUT 1 in  V mode to
control the volume level of another instrument.
