[. . . ] If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. and Canada) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Turning off the power switch does not completely isolate this product from the power line so remove the plug from the socket if not using it for extended periods of time. [. . . ] Either the CH1 or CH2 LED will light, and you'll be in Channel Select mode. NOTE: If the CH1 or CH2 LED is blinking (i. e. , when you're in the middle of selecting a writing-destination for the program), the program won't switch when you press the CH button the first time. In this case, press the TAP button to stop the blinking. 10 SWITCHING CHANNELS With either the CH1 or CH2 LED lit, press the CH switch. The channel will change each time you press the button, and the program stored in each channel will be recalled. (The physical settings of the top panel selector knobs and control knobs are ignored at this time. ) HINT: If the optional VFS2 dual foot switch is connected to the rear panel, you can use it to switch programs. For details, refer to "Using the VSF2 dual foot switch" (page 16). To turn the effect on, press the BYPASS button once to turn off the LED. The AD15VT, S-J11D, AD50VT, AD100VT & AD100VTH remember the bypass setting even if you switch modes or programs, or turn off the power. MANUAL MODE When the AD15VT, S-J11D, AD50VT, AD100VT or AD100VTH is in Manual mode, it works just like a non-programmable guitar amp. In other words, the positions of all top panel selectors and knobs (except for the EDIT 1 knob) indicate exactly what you're hearing. GETTING TO MANUAL MODE If the MANUAL LED is dark, you're not in Manual mode. Press the MANUAL button; the MANUAL LED will light, and you'll be in Manual mode. NOTE: If the CH1 or CH2 LED is blinking (i. e. , when you're in the middle of selecting a writing-destination for the program), the MANUAL LED won't light when you press the MANUAL button the first time. NOTE: In Manual mode when you edit parameters that aren't defined by a knob setting (i. e. , effect parameters or noise reduction settings), those settings are saved automatically, and will be recalled the next time you enter Manual mode. However if the EFFECTS selector is at a different position than it was when you were last in Manual mode, the default settings for that effect type will be loaded. Your program will be saved in the specified channel, and the LED of the destination channel will stop blinking and remain lit. NOTE: The program that was previously stored in that channel will be overwritten; in other words, the settings that used to be stored in the channel you selected in step 2 will be erased. NOTE: The effect bypass setting isn't stored as part of the program. NOTE: If you're creating your sound in Preset or Channel Select mode, your changes will disappear if you switch to a different program or to Manual mode before storing. CHECKING THE SETTINGS OF A PROGRAM (ORIGINAL VALUES) If you want to find out exactly what settings are saved in a preset or user program, you can use the Original Value function. When you're turning a knob to adjust the value of a parameter, and the value at that moment matches the value that is saved in the program (i. e. , the "original value"), the PRESET LED will blink if you're in Preset mode, or the channel LED will blink if you're in Channel Select mode. HINT: When you've found a program you like, and want to know just what settings it contains, simply use this Original Value function!NOTE: Since the top panel MASTER volume, the rear panel POWER LEVEL control, and PRESENCE control (AD100VTH) are not programmed, the original value display will not occur for these settings. Also, the Original Value function doesn't operate in manual mode. 14 RESTORING THE FACTORY SETTINGS Here's how you can restore the factory settings. NOTE: If you do this, the programs you saved in the channels will be completely erased, and will be reset to the factory settings. NOTE: Effect and noise reduction settings made in the Manual mode will also be erased. 1. When the CH1 and CH2 LEDs begin blinking, release these two buttons. HINT: If you decide to abort this operation, press the TAP switch at this point. 3. When you press the WRITE switch, the CH1 and CH2 LEDs will change from blinking to lit. Initialization will be completed in a few seconds, and the amp will switch to Preset mode. NOTE: Never turn off the power while initialization is taking place. 15 Using the VFS2 dual foot switch I f the optional VFS2 dual foot switch (sold separately*) is connected to the rear panel FOOT SW jack, you can use it to switch programs or turn effect bypass on/off. VFS2 left switch (switch 1): Switches channel programs VFS2 right switch (switch 2): Switches bypass on/off, or turn Manual mode on SWITCHING THE CHANNEL PROGRAM (SWITCH 1) Each time you press the VFS2's left switch (switch 1), you'll alternate between CH1 and CH2. NOTE: Switch 1 has the same function as the channel select switch on the top panel. If you press switch 1 in Preset mode or Manual mode, you'll change over to Channel Select mode. [. . . ] Many professionals prefer these "lo-fi" units because of the warm, dark echoes they produce. TAP "TIME" EDIT1 "MIX" EDIT2 "TIME" [TAP+EDIT 1] EDIT3 "FEEDBACK" [BYPASS+EDIT 1] Sets the delay time in a range of 1. . . 1486 [ms]. Adjusts the amount of feedback. HINT: In the CHORUS+DELAY combination effect, the FEEDBACK parameter is already set to the optimal value. If you crank up the FEEDBACK too much, an uncontrollable, cascading "runaway" of echoes will occur. [. . . ]
