This LED display window let’s you know what mode
the VC-4 is in and more:
1. When the Foot Controller is in
Program Select
Mode
, a Bank number (1, 2, 3, 4 or 1., 2., 3., 4.)
is displayed. If this number is flashing it means
you are about to select a new bank (see PRO-
GRAM SELECT MODE section on page 6 for
more details).
2. When the Foot Controller is in
Individual Mode
,
the below appears in the BANK DISPLAY (see
INDIVIDUAL MODE section on page 7 for more
details).
3. When the Foot Controller is in
Tuner Mode
,
either “-” or “_” (Silent Tuning Mode) appears in
the BANK DISPLAY as shown below (see
TUNER MODE section on page 8 for more
details).
or
4. If your Valvetronix combo has been put into
Manual Mode
(see your amp’s manual for more
details) via it’s top panel (IMPORTANT NOTE:
the amp can NOT be switched to MANUAL
MODE using the VC-4), “o” will appear in the
BANK DISPLAY as shown below. When the amp
is in MANUAL MODE, the VC-4 operates exactly
as it does in INDIVIDUAL MODE, allowing you
to switch FX on & off, change delay time and
also use the built-in pedal as a Volume or
Expression control.

This switch does two things:
1. Allows you to switch between PROGRAM
SELECT MODE (see page 6) and Individual
MODE (see page 7) with a mere tap of your foot.
How can you tell which mode is selected? Easy,
PROGRAM SELECT MODE is indicated by a
Bank number (1, 2, 3, 4 or 1., 2., 3., 4.) appear-
ing in the BANK DISPLAY, while INDIVIDUAL
MODE is indicated in the below diagram.
2. It also allows you to change program Banks. For
more details please see the CHANGING PRO-
GRAM BANKS section on page 6.

What these bad boys do or don’t do depends on
the MODE your VC-4 is in:
1. In
Program Select Mode
, these 4 switches
allow you to change between Channels and
Banks and the LEDs let you know what you’ve
selected (see page 6 for more details).
2. In
Individual Mode
, these 4 switches allow you
to switch the PEDAL, MOD, DELAY and
REVERB sections of your amp on/off. The LEDs
let you know at a glance what’s on and what’s
off.
3. In
Tuner Mode
, these 4 LEDs plus the TAP
TEMPO LED act as the “needle” on a tuner, with
LED 3 being the “you’re exactly in tune” indicator
(see page 8 for more details).
4. If your Valvetronix combo has been switched to
Manual Mode
, these switches allow you to
switch the PEDAL, MOD, DELAY and REVERB
sections of your amp on/off. The LEDs let you
know at a glance what’s on and what’s off.
