(EN) Controls
Control Elements
(1) ADJUST: Used to perform various adjustments.
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 (3), (5), (7), (9) or (11) are blinking.
VOLUME: If you hold the TAP key (12) depressed,
usingADJUST lets you adjust the volume of a preset.
(2) 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.
(3) NOISE G. The NOISE GATE is active and can be edited
when the key LED is lit up. The threshold can be
controlled by using ADJUST. When the ADJUST control is
turned all the way to the left, the NOISE GATE is o and
the LED is no longer lit up.
(4) CONFIGURE. By simultaneously pressing NOISE G.
(3)and COMPR. (5), youget to the conguration
menu. Usethe COMPR. or NOISE G. keys to alternate
between indi-vidual operating modes. This way,
youcan implement a global setting on your
XV-AMP that lets you adjust to dierent studio
andlivesituations.
(5) COMPRESSOR. Press this key to get to the compressor
menu. Use the ADJUST control to regulate “ratio”,
oruseTAP + ADJUST to regulate “attack”. Whenthe
ADJUST control is turned all the way to the left,
theCOMPRESSOR is o and the LED is no longer lit up.
(6) BASS EQ. Simultaneously press COMPR. (5) and
MODUL. (7) (both LEDs are blinking) to control bass
frequencies in a preset. Use ADJUST to increase or
decrease low frequencies. Keep TAP pressed while
turning ADJUST to determine if you want to aect
only the deepest frequencies (ADJUST turned all the
way to the left) orifyou also want to aect higher
bassfrequencies.
(7) MODULATION. After you press this key (its LED blinks),
you can select one of the eight modulation eects by
using the FX/AMPS control (14) : Chorus,anger, phaser,
pitch bend, tremolo, rotary, auto wah and P-funk’n.
Youget to the second-layer eects (gray) bykeeping
the TAP key depressed while you are turning the
FX/AMPS control; the 2nd FUNCTION LED lights up.
ADJUST controls the eect ratio in the preset. The speed
parameter is adjusted using TAP. By hitting MODUL. (7)
again, orbyselecting a dierent parameter, you quit.
(8) PRESENCE. You activate PRESENCE by simultaneously
pressing MODUL. (7) and DELAY (9) (both LEDs
are blinking). Starting at the middle setting of the
ADJUST control (neutral), the share of PRESENCE
(highfrequencies) canbe lowered or increased in a
preset. Keeping TAP pressed while you turn ADJUST
allows you to determine the center frequency of
thelter.
(9) DELAY. Pressing this key adjusts DELAY. A delay lets
you create a lag in the input signal similar to an echo.
UseADJUST to regulate the intensity; when you
keep TAP pressed while you turn ADJUST, you set up
feedback. Therhythm in which you tap at the TAP key
determines the time between individual echos.
(10) PEDAL ASSIGN. Press DELAY (9) and REVERB (11)
simultaneously to assign a function to the EXPRESSION
PEDAL (“PA” is shown in the display). Atthe same time,
one of the right-hand LEDs in the display is blinking
(speed, eect, volume, wah). Now you can assign one of
the following functions to the pedal:
• Speed: to dial up the SPEED parameter of an
eect, hit the respective eect module key
((7)or (9)) and then briey press TAP: SPEED,
TAPand eect key LEDs are blinking
• Eect: To modify eect parameters “mix”,
“depth”, “feedback” and “decay” using the pedal,
press the eect module key of your choice and
then modify the desired parameter (either using
Adjust or Adjust + TAP): the EFFECT LED blinks
in the display (2nd Function and the eect key
where applicable)
• Volume: If you want to use the expression
pedal to control the volume, holdTAP and
briey move ADJUST. The 2nd FUNCTION and
VOLUMELEDsblink
• Gain: To use the expression pedal to control GAIN
in a preset, you only have to quickly modify GAIN
using ADJUST (VOLUME LED blinks); then, use the
pedal to modify GAIN
• Wah Wah: Pressing the expression pedal
automatically selects the wah function.
TheWahLED blinks
(11) REVERB. Press this key to set up REVERB. A reverb
eect lets you simulate room characteristics in the
overall sound. You can choose between 4dierent
reverb types: Ambience, cathedral, spring and reverb.
The FX/AMPS control lets you select between reverb
and cathedral, and if you keep TAP pressed at the same
time, then you can additionally select between spring
and ambience (second layer).
(12) The TAP key performs several functions:
• GAIN/VOLUME: Use ADJUST to determine the
amount of distortion (GAIN). Ifyou keep TAP
pressed while you move ADJUST, you control
the volume of a preset instead. When editing
eect blocks, ADJUST lets you access the second
function layer for parameter settings
• FX/AMPS control and 2nd FUNCTION:
HittingTAP lets you select the second layer of the
eects and AMP simulations (gray)
• Speed: Keep hitting the TAP key in the rhythm
of a song, and the selected eect (delay or
modulation eect) adjusts itself automatically
tothe tappedrhythm
(13) 2nd FUNCTION. As soon as any second-layer function
on the FX/AMPS control is dialed up, 2nd FUNCTION
LED lights up.
(14) FX/AMPS. A LED on the FX/AMPS control indicates
the current AMP model. Ifthe 2nd FUNCTION LED is
also lit up, you’re dealing with one of the second-layer
AMP models (gray); if not, then one of the rst-layer
AMP models is selected (white). By turning FX/AMPS
(andbyholding tap, if necessary), youcan switch to
another AMP model.
(15) The DISPLAY indicates which preset has been selected
and gives information on the modications done during
editing. When the TUNER is activated, the DISPLAY
indi-cates which tone is played on the instrument you
connected to your X V-AMP.
(16) DOWN. Use this footswitch to dial down presets
(99-00,downwards). Keepthe footswitch depressed
longer to skip through the presets downwards.
(17) UP. Use this footswitch to dial up presets
(00-99,upwards). Keep the footswitch depressed
longerto skip through the presets upwards.
(18) EXPRESSION PEDAL. The expression pedal controls
(among others) the Wah Wah eect. The switch located
beneath the pedal switches the Wah Wah on and o
in this case. PEDAL ASSIGN lets you assign another
function to the pedal (e. g. volume, eect intensity
etc.). Seealso(10).
(19) LINE OUT/PHONES. You can take the audio signal
of your X V-AMP at the LINE OUT/PHONES connector.
Youcan either connect your headphones to the
XV-AMP, or connect the X V-AMP to a mixer.
(20) MONO AMP OUT. Connect the input of your guitar
amp here. In contrast to the LINE OUT/PHONES signal,
thissignal is reproduced with a level that is 20 dB lower.
(21) INSTRUMENT INPUT. This is the ¼" jack input of your
XV-AMP. Connect your instrument here. Always use
high-quality ¼" mono jack cables.
(22) AC IN. Connect the enclosed power supply to the AC IN
connector. As soon as you plug the power supply into
the mains, your X V-AMP is automatically “on”.
