Section 1 Introduction
2e) Parameter Data Sections - Immediately below the Information line are four parameter data sections. They correspond with
the <1> through <4> knobs on the front panel. Each section displays the current value of the indicated parameter.
A CC indicator in each selection tells whether the indicated parameter is set up to be controlled via a MIDI controller, the 2120
FC or an internal dynamic LFO. When a parameter has been modified, the CHANGED icon will appear under the parameter that
has been modified and the <Store> button will light to indicate a change has been made to the Program, but not stored.
2f) Input Level / Clip Meters - The Input Level and clip meter is located in the bottom center of the display. This meter shows the
Preamp level, and uses a peak detector action to display the highest levels of the preamp. The Clip indicator at the end of the
meter, indicates if the the input signal is being clipped at the analog input section (pre-digital) or in the digital effects domain.
2g) Effect Routing Matrix - The Effect routing matrix shows the signal flow of the currently selected program. This matrix includes
boxes that represent each effect module along with lines that indicate how those effects are connected to inputs, outputs and
each other. If an effect module is bypassed, a line appears through that module's box in the matrix.
When in FX Edit mode, the box that represents the currently selected effect module will flash.
3) Input Jack - Plug Guitar in here.
4) Clip LED -The Clip LED Indicates that the input signal is causing input stage clipping in the 2120 VGS.
5) Input Level Knob - Controls the input level of the 2120 VGS.
6) Gain/Page Knob - Controls the Distortion Gain Parameter either locally or globally. Selection of either Global or Local mode can be found
on Page 1 of the Utilities Menu. When the 2120 VGS is in Edit mode, the Page knob is used to scroll through the pages of the selected effect
module.
7) Parameter Knobs - Parameter knobs <1> thru <4> are used to:
• change the gain of the EQ (<1> - <3>) and the mix between the Wet and Dry signals (<4>) in Program mode. The EQ and Mix modes
can be set to either Local or Global modes on Page 1 of the Utilities.
• change the parameters you want to edit in FX Edit mode.
8) Program/Effect Wheel - Selects Programs in Program mode or changes effect modules in FX Edit mode.
9) Program Button - Toggles between User and Factory banks. A successive press will also return the 2120 VGS to Program mode from other
modes.
10) Solo Button - Toggles the SOLO parameter On/Off.
11) Levels Button - Exits current mode and enters Levels mode.
12) Assign Button - Used to assign programs and parameters to the 2120 FC or assign parameters to MIDI controllers.
