MODELING AMPS
2. Selecting preset amp models.
Press the Preset Mode button, found under the Amp
Models, next to the input, to access Preset Mode. Use the
chicken head knob, just above the Preset Mode button,
to select and scroll through the different Amp Models.
Each of the 11 amp model positions have two models,
to give a total of 22 amp models, which may be selected
by pressing the A: Green B: Red button, located between
the amp Models and the Gain knob. When the LED is lit
Green, the Amp Model on the top row is selected. When
the mode button LED is lit Red, the Amp Model on the
bottom row is then selected.
The VT has 66 actual presets, in Preset Mode. Press the
Preset Mode button to select the three different modes.
When (P1) Green is selected, you have accesses to 22
“dry or slightly effected” presets. When (P2) Orange is
selected, you have accesses to 22 “wet or effected”
presets, having many of the VT’s effects already assigned
to them.
The (P1) Red mode gives you access to 22 “Artist” presets.
These presets give the tones of the songs that are listed,
on the glossy POP, positioned on top of the amp.

4. Editing the Effects.
The VT’s effects section may be edited. Use the Edit Knob (Edit 1); to dial in how much of the overall effect
is in the mix. Hold down the TAP button while turning the Edit Knob (Edit 2), to change a particular parameter
(depending on the effect selected). Hold down the Bypass button, while turning the Edit Knob (Edit 3), to change
another effect parameter. You can also tap the Tap, to a tempo, to set Delay Time and Modulation speed of
the effects. To hear the amp dry, you can simply press the Bypass button to bypass the effects. The glossy
POP on the top of the Amp tells you what parameters the edits are affecting. Notice that the VT series has an
independent Reverb circuit. The Reverb can be turned up and down by utilizing the Reverb Knob on top of the
amp’s face plate.
3. Using the Banks and Programs.
Press the User Programs button to access program mode. Use the Bank button to select either Green or Red. The
Green Bank has 4 programs, and the Red Bank has 4 separate programs, allowing the VT to save and change
up to 8 programs total. These 8 programs serve as an additional 8 presets. Remember; let the presets do the
work, as there are many styles and effects, already dialed in, among the presets.

5. Storing Settings
To save your personal settings, you need to be in User Program Mode, and use the chicken head knobs to adjust
the amp, and use the effects section to dial in any desired effects. To store your settings, hold down any one
of the 4 program buttons for two seconds, and your new settings will be saved to that program location.
Note: You cannot store programs that were altered in Manual Mode or Preset Mode. To save your programs, you
must dial in the settings in the User Program Mode only. (Refer to section 5 for how to store programs).
6. Using Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, the Knobs are as they appear
on the amp’s face plate. However, In Preset
and User Program Modes, the knobs will not
represent the actual stored settings.
To access Manual Mode, simply press the
Manual Button. Now you can dial in any desired
settings, using any or all of the Chicken Head
knobs, on the face plate. You can also adjust
the effects section. (Refer to section 4 for
how to edit the effects).
7. Using the Power Level on the Back Panel
The power level knob on the VT’s rear panel may be used to turn down the amp’s overall volume.
Tone Tip: You may want to crank the amp’s Master volume, to get the interaction from the Tube Power section to
achieve optimum tone, and use the Power Level on the back panel, to adjust the amp’s output, to a reasonable
listening volume.
