Live applications

Connect your guitar to the VPD1 Input connector and connect the VPD1
Output to your guitar amp.

Make sure that you have a 9VDC power supply connected to the pedal. 

Start by setting your basic overdrive sound by using the "Drive" and
"Level" potmeters. Use the Tone control to roll off some high frequencies if
necessary. 

Now kick in the "Boost" section by hitting the BOOST switch. 

Set the level of the overdrive via the Boost knob. Experiment with the
Resonance filters to create the special mid range sound that will allow your
guitar to cut through any wall of sound. 

Use an external switching device to remote control on/off and boost
functions. Please refer to the “overview” section of the manual for more
info on this subject.

Direct recording for studio application

Connect your guitar to the VPD1 Input and the VPD1 Output to your mixer.
Depending on the type of channel in the mixer you connect to, you may
need to adjust the channel’s input gain.

Activate the Speaker Simulation filter on the VPD1. Use e.g. the point of a
ballpoint pen.

For advice on setting levels, drive and Resonance Filters, please follow
the advice described above under “Live applications”.
