(just in case you’ve forgotten you can)
As you learned from “The Guitarist’s Guide” that
accompanied your Valvetronix amp, MANUAL
MODE (a.k.a. “what you see is what you get”
mode!) is a pretty cool feature. And, as you’ve
also been reading, whenever the amp is in
switched to MANUAL MODE the VC-4 goes there
as well and “
” appears in its BANK DISPLAY.
Furthermore, as you’ve also just learned, even
though you can’t get out of MANUAL MODE
using the VC-4 (you have to do that at the amp),
you can enter TUNER MODE and SILENT TUN-
ING MODE by stepping on it. Even cooler is
this…
When your Valvetronix combo is in MANUAL
MODE, your VC-4 works in exactly the same way
it does when it is in INDIVIDUAL MODE!! This
means you can use SWITCH 1 – 4 to switch the
PEDAL, MODULATION, DELAY and REVERB
Sections on/off, use the TAP TEMPO SWITCH to
change delay time and use the BUILT-IN PEDAL
as either a VOLUME or EXPRESSION controller.
And, you can tune your axe in silence too? Pinch
me, it must be Christmas!
