demos. Here's how to play them:

The V-Combo Front-Panel Philosophy
4/ is unlit, press it
To leave Demo mode and return to normal operation, press the
5
DISPLAY button in the main controls area (shown in the illustration
below) a few times until "den" disappears from the screen, and none
of the indicators to the left of the display are lit.
One of the guiding principles in the design of the V-Combo was to make it
easy for you to get to its important controls onstage without having to resort
to menu-diving. As a result, the V-Combo's front panel places everything
logically in its own area. By taking a tour of the front panel, we'll be getting
to know the V-Combo.

As you go through this booklet, you'll need a way to control
the V-Combo's overall level—that's what the MASTER
VOLUME knob at the left of the front panel is for.
The Main Control Area
In addition to the V-Combo's many dedicated buttons and
knobs, the central area of the front panel contains the global
V-Combo display and controls.
The V-Combo Display
The V-Combo's display works in different ways depending on what you're
doing, but always provides helpful information and feedback on the current
operation or the state of the V-Combo.
