15. Volume
Controls the volume of Overdrive 2 channel.
-Overdrive Equalisation-
The following Bass, Middle and Treble controls
are used for both Overdrive channels.
16. Bass
This controls the amount of bottom end or low
frequencies in your guitar tone. When using a
heavily distorted tone, increasing the bass will
generally make the tone darker and heavier.
17. Middle
The middle frequencies are those which generally
affect the size of your sound. By increasing the
amount of middle in your tone your guitar will
sound fatter, conversely reducing the middle
frequencies will make your guitar sound thinner.
18. Treble
By adjusting the Treble control you can add or
take away the higher frequencies in your guitar tone.
By turning up the Treble control and increasing
those high frequencies you will make your guitar
sound more cutting.
19. Power Dimension Switch
The Power Dimension Switch is designed for use
in situations where you have set your amp to get
your sound but it is simply too loud for the given
situation. Its function is to emulate, at lower volume
levels the extra saturation found when playing
through a transformer and valve power stage pushed
to the limit.
20. FX Loop Level
It is possible to adjust the FX Loop Level 10dB
to ensure that the FX Loop is perfectly suited to the
type of effects unit that you are using, i.e. rack
mounted or floor pedal.
21. FX Mix
When using the FX Loop on the rear panel the
FX Mix allows you to dial in the desired amount of
effected signal into your overall sound. Turning the
control fully clockwise will result in a fully effected
sound, i.e. no dry signal and turning the control fully
anti-clockwise will result in a fully dry sound.
-Reverb-
Adding reverb to your guitar tone will add
ambience and size, giving the effect of playing in a
large empty room or hall. The VS265 features
separate reverb levels for the Clean and Overdrive
channels giving you greater control over your
sound.
22. Clean Reverb
Dictates the amount of reverb on the Clean
Channel.
23. Overdrive Reverb
Controls the amount of reverb on the Overdrive
Channel.

which is channel assignable. This means that it is
possible to allocate the Stereo Chorus to either the
Clean or Overdrive Channels or both.
24. Clean Switch

Channel.
25. Overdrive Switch
