X V-AMP
2 nd FUNCTION. As soon as any second-layer function on
the FX/AMPS control is dialed up, 2 nd FUNCTION LED lights
up.
FX/AMPS. A LED on the FX/AMPS control indicates the
current AMP model. If the 2 nd FUNCTION LED is also lit up,
you’re dealing with one of the second-layer AMP models
(gray); if not, then one of the first-layer AMP models is
selected (white). By turning FX/AMPS (and by holding tap,
if necessary), you can switch to another AMP model.
IF the effect block is selected (MODULATION
, DELAY
or REVERB LED blinks), the respective effect
type can be read-off and selected using the FX/AMPS
control. By turning the FX/AMPS control (and by holding
TAP, if necessary), you can switch to another effect.
+
If one of the AMPS LEDs lights up (right half), use
ADJUST to control either GAIN or VOLUME.
+
If one of the EFFECT LEDs lights up (left half), use
ADJUST to control the respective effect parameters.
The DISPLAY indicates which preset has been selected
and gives information on the modifications 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.

DOWN. Use this footswitch to dial down presets (99 - 00,
downwards). Keep the footswitch depressed longer to
skip through the presets downwards.
UP. Use this footswitch to dial up presets (00 - 99, upwards).
Keep the footswitch depressed longer to skip through the
presets upwards.
+
By simultaneously pressing both footswitches, the
TUNER/BYPASS mode is activated. To deactivate it,
you can simply press one of the footswitches.
Additional information on the TUNER can be found
in chapter 7 “TUNER”.
EXPRESSION PEDAL. The expression pedal controls
(among others) the Wah Wah effect. The switch located
beneath the pedal switches the Wah Wah on and off in this
case.
PEDAL ASSIGN lets you assign another function to the
pedal (e. g. volume, effect intensity etc.). See also .
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.
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.
INSTRUMENT INPUT. This is the 1/4" jack input of your
X V-AMP. Connect your instrument here. Always use high-
quality 1/4" mono jack cables.
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”. More information
on the power supply can be found in chapter 9
“SPECIFICATIONS”.

3. OPERATING MODES
(CONFIGURATIONS)
An outstanding characteristic of the entire V-AMP product line
is the freedom to personally select which signal segments
(according to your own needs and desires) will be fed to the
outputs. To optimally adjust your X V-AMP to various studio and
live situations, you can select one of the 9 possible configurations.
These configurations assign where individual signals for line
outputs and headphone outputs are coming from—and all this
independent from the settings stored in the presets.
3.1 Selecting a CONFIGURATION
When you press NOISE GATE and COMPRESSOR at
the same time, CONFIGURATION mode is activated or
deactivated. The key LEDs are blinking as long as you are in
CONFIGURATION mode.
Dialing up individual configurations in CONFIGURATION mode
is done by using NOISE G. and COMPR. . A table with
the respective configurations is shown below.
Volume is adjustable globally by using the ADJUST control.
Input gain can be adjusted using ADJUST + TAP, so that you
can adjust your X V-AMP globally to instruments with varying
output signal levels, whereby the following goes: a higher setting
is for quieter instruments, and a lower setting is for louder
instruments.
