SWITCHING BETWEEN PROGRAMS
You’re not going to believe this but to do this, you simply follow the 3 simple steps we’ve
just gone through.
COOL PLAYING HINT: When you’re halfway through switching programs (i.e. you’ve
selected the Bank but not the Channel), the program you’re about to change is still
selected and will remain this way until you select the channel. So, if you’re playing
live and your next program change requires you to switch to a different bank, you can
select that bank ahead of time, ensuring a timely change.
STEP ON IT! If you’ve got the optional VC-4 Foot Controller you can switch between
programs with your foot...told you it was a “must have” item.
WRITING AND STORING YOUR OWN PROGRAM
This is a cakewalk, honest! There are two ways you can go about doing this - by “tweak-
ing an existing program” or by “starting from scratch.” Let’s tweak an existing program
first.
TWEAKING AN EXISTING PROGRAM
Lets say that you really like the crunchy, modern rhythm sound of preset 1-3
(“Breakin’ Stuff”) and you’d like to write a complimentary lead sound that is louder,
has a tad more gain, more mids, Chorus and Tape Echo. Here’s what you do:
STEP 1: Turn the MASTER VOLUME down and then switch the amp
on...duh!
STEP 2: Plug your guitar into the amp...bigger duh!
STEP 3: Use the TYPE Button in the MODULATION Section to select CHO-
RUS and then set the SPEED and DEPTH controls to taste.
STEP 4: Use the TYPE Button in the DELAY Section to select TAPE ECHO.
Tap on the TAP button to set the delay time you want and then set the FEED-
BACK and DEPTH controls to taste.
STEP 5: Hit the WRITE Button once - this puts you into “where do you want
to store your new program?” mode which is indicated by the number in the
BANK Display flashing.
“ABORT MISSION” NOTE: If you get as far as “where do you want to store
your new program?” mode and then decide your “tweaked” program sucks, all
you’ve gotta do is hit the TUNER/CANCEL Button and you’re outta “write
mode”...phew!
