PERFORM-VG User Manual

1.  Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Perform-VG!
Your new mic stand-mounted vocal and guitar processor opens up a world of new 

performance opportunities. 
Starting with Adaptive Tone (automatic EQ, De-Essing, Gating and Compression), 

your voice will punch through the mix and sound great in any environment. 
Add studio-quality Reverb, Harmony and Echo to the party and you’ll easily craft 

eardrum pleasing vocal effects that are perfectly suited to your song.
With the addition of acoustic guitar BodyRez and independent Echo and Chorus 

effects it’s easier than ever to get a complete guitar sound for your performance. 
Anti-Feedback tames the annoying high pitched squeals we’ve all experienced at 

live shows and keeps your performance sounding its very best.
Our global Pitch Correction gently guides your voice to the nearest note, 

ensuring that your pitches are spot on. 

2.  Let’s Get Going!

On the box, you may have seen a connection guide and simple instructions to set 

your mic gain. If you haven’t got things connected and making sound, we should 

do that now.

3.  Set Mic Gain

• 

Connect your mic, guitar, and mixer or headphones according to the 

guide below

• 

Press and hold the SET button for about 2 seconds, while singing normally

• 

When the process is complete, the SET LED will turn RED

• 

Release the SET button to complete the process

• 

Your mic gain is now set optimally

After the gain is set, you’ll see the LED ring illuminate red, showing you the 

current mic gain. If you would like to make a manual adjustment to the automatic 

setting, simply turn the control knob. When you’re done making adjustments, 

the control will time out and your manually selected level will be saved. Manually 

setting mic gain also disables the “nudge" feature which protects you from 

overloading the input by reducing gain when repeated overloads are detected in 

a short period of time. Pressing the SET button after manually setting mic gain 

will re-enable “nudge”. 

4.  Connection Diagram

*Note that using guitar THRU will mute all guitar sounds in Perform-VG. Chords will still be detected for NaturalPlay harmony, but the intent is to connect to other 

pedals/amps instead of hearing guitar from VG. 
If you change the guitar level via the MIX button while the THRU is connected, the guitar signal will become available again via both THRU and MIC OUT, should you 

want a dry signal for guitar in addition to the mixed vocal/guitar output. 
To re-mute the guitar in the MIC OUT, plug and re-plug the THRU or GUITAR IN.
