VarIabLE INStrumENt INput
On the VIP 2, you can input an electric, an acoustic, or a bass guitar. There are amp models for all 3
instrument types. Once you plug into the amp, you select the instrument type to the right (item 1). The amp
then changes its input sensitivity and gain structure to match your selection.
NOtE: VIp amplifers are designed to be used with instruments with passive electronics. When using
instruments with active electronics, the volume of the instrument may need to be reduced to prevent
clipping (unwanted distortion).

The Vypyr
®
VIP series was designed for use with electric guitars, acoustic guitars and bass guitars! With
these buttons you select which type of instrument you are using with the amp. There are 4 banks with
4 presets each, for a total of 16 presets. The names of the preset banks are associated with the type of
instrument being used . To access the different presets within the current bank, simply continue tapping
the button and the LED will change color to indicate which preset you have selected. Any changes you
make to the settings (except for master volume level) can be saved back to the preset if desired. To save
settings over the loaded preset, just press and hold its bank button until its LED begins to blink and then
continue to hold the button until the LED stops blinking. Pressing the Tap Tempo button cancels the save.
To save changes to the current preset over a different preset, press and hold its bank button until its LED
begins to blink. The LEDs for any other banks in which the preset can be saved will also blink. Select the
bank to save in by tapping the desired bank button - it will continue to blink but the other bank LEDs will
turn off. If the bank LED is not the color of the desired preset to overwrite, tap the bank LED again until the
color matches the desired preset number. To complete the save, press and hold the bank button until the
LED stops blinking. Pressing the Tap Tempo button cancels the save.
INStrumENt/StOmp ENCODEr
For the first time ever in a modeling amp, you have access to instrument models! Using your electric
guitar, you can access 10 different instrument models, from acoustic guitars to baritone guitars and even a
synth! The other side of the encoder is dedicated to stompboxes, so you have access to a full complement
of stompbox effects! Turn this knob to select your desired pre-amplifier effect (if any). Press the encoder
momentarily to enter Edit mode (Item 12). You’ll also notice a small ‘m’ on a few effects and the bass
simulation. This is because these are
monophonic effects and as such, you’ll need to be careful to play
one note at a time for them to work properly. The LEDs on this encoder are bi-color. At the bottom of the
encoder is a guide to show which color represents which effect.
