Introduction 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of vsound 2. Vsound is a revolutionary device that modifies the 
sound produced by an electric violin, viola or cello (or an acoustic instrument fitted with a pickup), 
producing an output that matches the timbre and voice of a high quality acoustic. Vsound is a complex 

piece of electronic engineering, but it is very simple to operate. Simply plug the violin audio lead into 
vsound, plug the output from vsound into an amplifier or headphones, switch on and select a violin 
sound. Done. 

 
Vsound comes with a range of other functions for optimal performance including a gain-selectable 
preamplifier,  volume  control,  a  unique  high-precision  equaliser  and  an  adjustable  blender.  The 
blender, which combines the original with the processed signal, extends the scope of the system for 

use with acoustic instruments fitted with pickups on the bridge. The pedal can be controlled either 
from  a  computer  using  the  software  supplied  (Mac  OSX  or  Windows),  or  directly  from  the 
footswitches on the top panel of the pedal. 

 
Vsound is supplied with pre-loaded violin impulse responses in its memory, and additional ones are 
supplied with the software. You can also download your own responses or contact us to provide you 

with new or modified responses. 
 
Here at Signal Wizard Systems Ltd we are really excited about vsound and we hope you get many 

hours of enjoyment using this system.
