P / SIGNAL PROCESSOR
5) Display Window - The display window shows all current operating
and programming information and is comprised of several parts:
the LCD display, the input level meter, the Program number indica-
tor, and the Bypass and DSP Clip indicator LEDs. The LCD display
shows all Program names, Parameters and Parameter values, and
is the communication interface between you and the Valve FX. The
input level meter monitors the level of the signal before it enters the
analog to digital converter. In the Program number indicator win-
dow you will find the currently selected Program number. This
changes as you scroll through the available Programs. The func-
tions of the Input Level Meter, Bypass and DSP Clip indicator LEDs
are as follows:
• Input Level Meter - Displays the strength of the incoming signal
in 6 dB steps before it enters the analog to digital converter.
• Bypass Indicator - Indicates (when lit) that all effects have been
bypassed using either the Bypass button or the optional Control
One foot controller. To exit bypass mode, simply press the
Bypass button on the front panel or on the foot controller.
• DSP Clip - Indicates digital information overflow in the proces-
sor. When lit, distortion may be heard in the output signal. The
guideline for this indicator is let your ears be the judge. If this
indicator lights occasionally and no audible distortion is present,
it can be ignored. If distortion is audible in the output signal, the
EQ levels or perhaps one of the internal digital effects levels of
the Program must be turned down to eliminate the problem.

CURSOR
6) Cursor Keys - The Cursor keys perform several different functions
depending on your location in the menu. When the Program title is
displayed, the <UP> and <DOWN> Cursor keys scroll through
Programs, while the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> Cursor keys move
through Parameters. The Algorithm selection screen is one screen
to the right of the Program title screen. On this screen, the <UP>
and <DOWN> Cursor keys select the Algorithm you want to use
with the Program. On any other screen, the <UP> and <DOWN>
keys increment or decrement through Parameter values.
