On the VIP 1, you can input an electric, an acoustic, or a bass guitar. There are amp models for all 3
instrument types. Once you plug into the amp, you select the instrument type to the right (item 1). The amp
then changes its input sensitivity and gain structure to match your selection.
NOtE: VIp amplifers are designed to be used with instruments with passive electronics. When using
instruments with active electronics, the volume of the instrument may need to be reduced to prevent
clipping (unwanted distortion).

With these buttons you select which type of instrument you are using with the amp. There are 4 banks with
4 presets each, for a total of 16 presets. The names of the preset banks are associated with the type of
instrument being used. To access the different presets within the current bank, simply continue pressing
the button and the LED will change color to indicate which preset you have selected. Any changes you
make to the settings (except for master volume level) can be saved back to the preset if desired. To save
settings over the loaded preset, just press and hold its bank button until its LED begins to blink and then
continue to hold the button until the LED stops blinking. Pressing the Tap Tempo button cancels the save.
To save changes to the current preset over a different preset, press and hold its bank button until its LED
begins to blink. The LEDs for any other banks in which the preset can be saved will also blink. Select the
bank to save in by tapping the desired bank button - it will continue to blink but the other bank LEDs will
turn off. If the bank LED is not the color of the desired preset to overwrite, tap the bank LED again until the
color matches the desired preset number. To complete the save, press and hold the bank button until the
LED stops blinking. Pressing the Tap Tempo button cancels the save.
NOtE: When selecting bass or acoustic presets (banks C & D) the VIp 1 and VIp2 will limit access to only
those amp models associated with the selected instrument bank. pressing and holding buttons b & D
during power on will open up all amp models to any preset.

Turn this knob to select your desired pre-amplifier effect (if any). Just think, 20 pedals you'll never have
to buy! In addition, there are 2 instrument models to choose from, an acoustic simulation and a bass
simulation! Press the encoder momentarily to enter Edit mode (Item 11). You'll also notice a small 'm' on a
few effects and the bass simulation. This is because these are monophonic effects and as such, you'll need
to be careful to play one note at a time for them to work properly. The LEDs on this encoder are bi-color.
At the bottom of the encoder is a guide to show which color represents which effect.
