IMPORTANT NOTE: As already stated, your Valvetronix combo comes with 32 pre-
set programs. FYI, these are stored in 8 Banks, each of which consists of 4 Channels
(8 x 4 = 32!). The Bank number is shown in the BANK DISPLAY window while the
Channel number is indicated by one of the four LEDs above the CHANNEL Buttons.
This means that program 1-1 is indicated by a “1” appearing in the BANK DISPLAY
window and the LED above the CHANNEL 1 Button being lit up. Geddit?
10. Turn the amp’s MASTER VOLUME control up to the level you’re after and
start wailing!
MOVIN’ ON...
11. Once you’ve had your fill of “Flying High” (which might take a while, it’s a
highly addictive program), check out program 1-2. This one is called “Def
Tone” and is a lush, clean program that is best suited for your neck (rhythm)
pickup. How do you get to it? Easy, just press the CHANNEL 2 button and
you’re there! And notice how seamless the transition from program 1-1 to 1-
2 was...none of those horrible “holes of silence” that plague the switching
on so many digital devices...this bad boy switches instantly!
12. To get to the next program, 1-3, all you do is hit the CHANNEL 3 but-
ton...duh! Before you do though, be warned, as its name “Breakin’ Stuff”
suggests, this one ain’t for the faint hearted - it’s a fat sounding, aggressive,
modern crunch. So, switch back to your lead (bridge) pickup, chunk out a
heavy riff and watch out for stage-divers!
13. Phew! After the mayhem of “Breakin’ Stuff,” program 1-4 is a little mellower.
To check it out, just hit the CHANNEL 4 button. Titled, “Tie Mama Down,”
this is a regal sounding VOX AC30 crunch that has classic rock written all
over it.
