(9) DELAY. Pressing this key adjusts DELAY. A delay lets you create a lag in
the input signal similar to an echo. Use ADJUST to regulate the intensity;
when you keep TAP pressed while you turn ADJUST, you set up feedback.
The rhythm in which you tap at the TAP key determines the time between
individual echos.
(10) PEDAL ASSIGN. Press DELAY (9) and REVERB (11) simultaneously to
assign a function to the EXPRESSION PEDAL ("PA" is shown in the display).
At the same time, one of the right-hand LEDs in the display is blinking
(speed, effect, volume, wah). Now you can assign one of the following
functions to the pedal:
• Speed: to dial up the SPEED parameter of an effect, hit the respective effect
module key ( (7) or (9) ) and then briefly press TAP: SPEED, TAP and effect
key LEDs are blinking.
• Effect: To modify effect parameters "mix", "depth", "feedback" and "decay"
using the pedal, press the effect module key of your choice and then modify
the desired parameter (either using Adjust or Adjust + TAP): the EFFECT LED
blinks in the display (2nd Function and the effect key where applicable).
Volume: If you want to use the expression pedal to control the
•
volume, hold TAP and briefly move ADJUST. The 2nd FUNCTION and
VOLUME LEDs blink.
• Gain: To use the expression pedal to control GAIN in a preset, you only have
to quickly modify GAIN using ADJUST (VOLUME LED blinks); then, use the
pedal to modify GAIN.
• Wah Wah: Pressing the expression pedal automatically selects the wah
function. The Wah LED blinks.
◊
Summary: To assign a parameter to the expression pedal, you have to
activate "PEDAL ASSIGN" and modify the desired parameter.
◊
Auto wah and pitch bend are automatically deactivated as long as the
expression pedal controls the Wah Wah effect.
◊
To confirm a new selection you made and to abandon PEDAL ASSIGN,
hit DELAY ( 9 ) and REVERB (11) at the same time again.
(11) REVERB. Press this key to set up REVERB. A reverb effect lets you simulate
room characteristics in the overall sound. You can choose between
4 different reverb types: Ambience, cathedral, spring and reverb.
The FX/AMPS control lets you select between reverb and cathedral, and if
you keep TAP pressed at the same time, then you can additionally select
between spring and ambience (second layer).
The adjustable reverb parameters are decay and mix.
ADJUST controls the mix, and ADJUST + TAP control decay.
A description of individual reverb types can be found in chapter 6.2.
(12) The TAP key performs several functions:
• GAIN/VOLUME: Use ADJUST to determine the amount of distortion (GAIN).
If you keep TAP pressed while you move ADJUST, you control the volume of a
preset instead.
When editing effect blocks, ADJUST lets you access the second function layer
for parameter settings.
• FX/AMPS control and 2nd FUNCTION: Hitting TAP lets you select the
second layer of the effects and AMP simulations (gray).
• Speed: Keep hitting the TAP key in the rhythm of a song, and the selected
effect (delay or modulation effect) adjusts itself automatically to the
tapped rhythm.
(13) 2nd FUNCTION. As soon as any second-layer function on the FX/AMPS
control is dialed up, 2nd FUNCTION LED lights up.
(14) FX/AMPS. A LED on the FX/AMPS control indicates the current AMP model.
If the 2nd FUNCTION LED is also lit up, you're dealing with one of the second-
layer AMP models (gray); if not, then one of the first-layer AMP models is
selected (white). By turning FX/AMPS (and by holding tap, if necessary),
you can switch to another AMP model.
IF the effect block is selected (MODULATION (7) , DELAY (9) or REVERB LED
(11) blinks), the respective effect type can be read-off and selected using
the FX/AMPS control. By turning the FX/AMPS control (and by holding TAP,
if necessary), you can switch to another effect.
◊
If one of the AMPS LEDs lights up (right half), use ADJUST to control
either GAIN or VOLUME.
◊
If one of the EFFECT LEDs lights up (left half), use ADJUST to control the
respective effect parameters.
(15) The DISPLAY indicates which preset has been selected and gives
information on the modifications done during editing. When the TUNER is
activated, the DISPLAY indi-cates which tone is played on the instrument you
connected to your X V-AMP.

(16) DOWN. Use this footswitch to dial down presets (99 - 00, downwards).
Keep the footswitch depressed longer to skip through the presets downwards.
(17) UP. Use this footswitch to dial up presets (00 - 99, upwards). Keep the
footswitch depressed longer to skip through the presets upwards.
◊
By simultaneously pressing both footswitches, the TUNER/BYPASS
mode is activated. To deactivate it, you can simply press one of the
footswitches. Additional information on the TUNER can be found in
chapter 7 "TUNER".
(18) EXPRESSION PEDAL. The expression pedal controls (among others)
the Wah Wah effect. The switch located beneath the pedal switches the
Wah Wah on and off in this case.
PEDAL ASSIGN lets you assign another function to the pedal
(e. g. volume, effect intensity etc.). See also (10) .
(19) LINE OUT/PHONES. You can take the audio signal of your X V-AMP at the
LINE OUT/PHONES connector. You can either connect your headphones to the
X V-AMP, or connect the X V-AMP to a mixer.
(20) MONO AMP OUT. Connect the input of your guitar amp here. In contrast to
the LINE OUT/PHONES signal, this signal is reproduced with a level that is
20 dB lower.
(21) INSTRUMENT INPUT. This is the 1/4" jack input of your X V-AMP. Connect your
instrument here. Always use high-quality 1/4" mono jack cables.
