Getting Started; Making Connections - DOD VGS50 Owner's Manual

Getting Started

The VGS50 is ready for you to plug in and play. It already has a variety of sounds
programmed into both the 30 factory and 30 user presets. You will find that the
user presets are exact duplicates of the factory presets. This was done so that you
can experiment with the user presets and not be at risk of losing any of the sounds
that the VGS50 came with.

Making Connections

The VGS50 can be run in mono or stereo. The following connections outline the set
up for both applications. These steps should be performed in the order that are
listed here. Make sure that you do not connect the power to the VGS50, or turn on
the power to your amplification until the completion of these steps.
1. Connect your instrument to the VGS50 input jack (A).
MONO
2a. Connect the left output (B) to the input of your amplifier, or line input of a
mixing console.
STEREO
2b. Connect the left (B) and right (C) outputs to the inputs of two amplifiers, or two
line inputs of a mixing console.
3. Set the tone controls of the amplifier(s) or mixing console to the flat or 0
position. If you are running stereo into a mixer set the pan controls hard left and
hard right.
4. Turn the Output Knob (10) on the VGS50 all the way counterclockwise.
5. Apply power to the VGS50 by connecting the PS750 from the power jack (F) to
an AC outlet.
6. Turn the power switch of your amplifier(s) to the "on" position.
7. Begin playing and gradually adjust the VGS50's Output Knob until the desired
volume is achieved.
