Also, if you think about it, if you’re using a crunch or high gain lead sound then it
makes much more sense to add effects like ROTARY, ROOM (reverb) or DELAY to the
signal
after
it’s been distorted, rather than before. I mean, does it make any sense to add
an effect like reverb and
then
mash the heck out of your signal (i.e. distort it)? Not
really...right!? Good, case closed. Now our little detour’s over - let’s get on with the front
panel tour...
STEP ON IT!
With the optional VC-4 Foot Controller, it is possible for you to switch
each of the MODULATION, DELAY and REVERB sections on and off with your foot.
This incredibly useful function is just one of the many reasons you should own a VC-
4. Stay tuned to this channel for more...

ODULATION
S
ECTION
This section enables you to add a modulation effect into the aforementioned “virtual FX
loop” (in between the preamp and the power amp - remember?) for each and every pro-
gram, if you so wish. It also allows you to assign external control over the SPEED control
and set noise reduction (NR) too.

TYPE Button
This button enables you to select a Modulation effect - or not! When a particular
effect is chosen, the red LED to its left will light up. If no effect type is selected (i.e.
none of the five LEDs are on), the Modulation Section is bypassed (turned off).
STEP ON IT!
If you own the optional VC-4 Foot Controller, you can use the foot pedal
it houses to vary the Speed of any one of the five Modulations on offer. Wow! The
(im)possibilities the VC-4 will open up for you are endless - get one immediately!
The five Modulation effects you can choose from are:
CHORUS:
A model of a lush sounding, analogue chorus unit that many consider
to be the industry standard. In the case of the AD120VT, this effect is stereo.
FLANGER:
A model of a truly classic analogue Flanger that “unchained” a highly
influential modern guitarist who many hail as the “godfather of two handed tap-
ping.”
PHASER:
A model of a much respected and popular analogue phaser, housed in
a banana yellow box!
TREMOLO:
This effect is based on the highly acclaimed tremolo circuit found in a
BLACK 2x12.
ROTARY:
An incredibly realistic model of a rotary speaker (stereo in the case of
the AD120VT).
