ongratulations on buying the VC-4 Foot Con-
troller – a pedal board dedicated to control-
ling the AD60VT and AD120VT VOX 

Valvetronix combos. As you are about to discover, 
this incredibly useful controller has three modes 
(PROGRAM SELECT MODE, INDIVIDUAL MODE 
(FX on/off) and TUNER MODE) that enable you to 
do a whole bunch of cool things with your feet, 
including the following:

 

 

Change Programs

 

 

Control the amp’s volume

 

 

WAH

 

 

Control the speed of the U-VIBE pedal model

 

 

Control the speed of any MODULATION effect 
being used

 

 

Tune your axe (including “silent tuning” if you 
wish)

 

 

Change the Tempo of the DELAY being used

 

 

Switch the PEDAL, MODULATION, DELAY and 
REVERB effects on/off (when the VC-4 is in 
INDIVIDUAL MODE)

Hooking up your new VC-4 Foot Controller to your 
Valvetronix combo really couldn’t be any easier. 
Simply take the supplied cable and connect one 
end to the VOX BUS input jack located on the rear 
panel of the VC-4 (see below)…

…and connect the other end of it to the FOOT 
CONTROLLER jack found on the rear panel of your 
combo (see below)

In addition to being self-locking at both ends, this 5-
meter (16’ 4”) cable also supplies power to the VC-
4 directly from the amp – meaning that no annoying 
power supply is needed!

As you can see from the picture of the VC-4’s rear 
panel, you can hook up an external Volume control 
to it if you’d like. We recommend the optional V850 
volume pedal but any volume pedal will suffice. 
Doing this obviously adds further to the already 
impressive flexibility of the VC-4 and will automati-
cally set the VC-4’s built-in pedal to Expression 
mode.

EEDING

 

Although your VC-4 Foot Controller is a sturdy 
beast that has been specifically designed for you to 
stomp on, it should be treated with respect. Here 
are a few “care and feeding” rules that we recom-
mend you follow:

 

 

Never pick up or move your VC-4 around by 
grabbing hold of the built-in pedal. Always grab 
hold of its main body.

 

 

When transporting the VC-4, always disconnect 
the cable and also the optional external Volume 
Pedal, should you be using one.

 

 

Only clean your VC-4 with a damp, soft cloth – 
like a guitar cleaning cloth for example. NEVER 
use a wet cloth though, only a damp one.

PECS

 

If you should lose or damage the supplied cord, we 
recommend you purchase a replacement from your 
authorized VOX dealer. If however, this is not possi-
ble, you can use a similar length (5 meter) 10 Base-
T cable…providing it is cable can be purchased 
from most good computer stores.

 

WARNING! WARNING!

 

 As just stated, the 10 

Base-T cable used MUST be “straight” and 
NOT “cross” (how the two male connectors 
are wired relative to each other). If a “cross” 
cable is used, you will DAMAGE your amp 
and void your warranty. So, if you do use a 10 
Base-t cable other than the one supplied, 
please ensure it is a “straight” one. IF IN 
DOUBT, DO NOT USE!! Geddit!?
