VarIabLE INStrumENt INput
On the VIP 3, 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 bank. 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 VIP 3 includes over 400 user definable preset locations! Use this encoder to scroll though them and
when you find the preset you are looking for, press the encoder to call up that preset. Presets in bank C are
designated for use with acoustic guitar and presets in bank D are designed for Bass.
