PB-1 Features

Read on to learn more about each of the
features that you can control with the PB-1
pedalboard.
1. BANK SELECT UP/DOWN
The VT12 has 24 banks of four stored
presets, one for each channel. Use these two
buttons to scroll up and down through the
24 banks.
Note: When you scroll to a different bank,
you will notice that the Bank Select number
in the display begins blinking. You must
select a channel in order to activate the
selected bank.
2. CHANNEL SELECT
Use these four buttons to select one of
the four channels on the VT12: CLEAN,
CRUNCH, OVERDRIVE, or LEAD.
3. EFX
This button duplicates the function of the
EFX button on the VT12, and allows you to
turn the selected Effects on and off.
4. TAP/TEMPO
The TAP/TEMPO button duplicates the
function of the TEMPO button on the VT12.
You can tap this button with your foot to set
the delay time for any of the selected delay
effects. The delay time is set to the time
4
between the last two taps of the button. The
LED above the button blinks in time with the
delay time setting.
5. TUNER
Press and hold the TAP/TEMPO button
for one second to activate the onboard chro-
matic tuner. This duplicates the function of
the TUNER button on the VT12. Press and
hold the TAP/TEMPO button again for one
second to return to normal operation.
6. RECORDER
The PB-1 provides a loop recorder func-
tion that is not available with the VT12
alone. This allows you to record a back-
ground chord progression (rhythm track),
and then play it back while you solo over it.
Note: The loop recorder function can be en-
abled and disabled using the TOOLS button
on the VT12 (TOOLS > Loop Recorder). It is
enabled by default, but you can turn it off to
prevent accidentally hitting the PLAY button
by mistake and playing back a recorded loop
during a song.
Press the REC button to begin recording.
The LED above the REC button lights while
recording is in progress. You can record up
to 10 seconds of music. Press the REC button
again at the end of the loop to stop recording
and begin playing back the loop. You may
