Factory Presets

Notes about the factory presets can be found in the table on p. 59.
Most presets in the VP4 are designed to be used in front of an amp.
These are compatible with other effects placed before or after the VP4.
Banks A–O : "Pre-FX" are pedalboard presets for use between guitar and amp.
Banks P–R : "Post-FX" presets designed for amp FX loop (series). These also
work very well in a "Pre" setup if the amp is clean or if a drive pedal is placed
in front of the VP4. Similarly, many of the "Pre" presets can also work in a post
rig. These are marked ">". Bank R also contains a preset template for amps
with a parallel FX loop.
Bank S : Bass presets, plus an Acoustic guitar template.
Bank T contains presets designed for 4CM rigs (see p. 19).
NOTE: Any preset configured for 4CM will automatically bypass the VP4 if
Global "4CM Routing" option is disabled, and vice versa.
Banks V–Z : Blank presets for you to store your own creations.
A NOTE ABOUT FACTORY PRESETS: The VP4 is unlike most other Fractal
Audio products. Without amp and cab modeling, it is designed to be used with
an amp or a modeler. Therefore, the way the factory presets respond can be
quite different from one setup to the next. Keep this in mind:
1) Some amps can get loud when used with certain effects or settings. Adjust
and save to set levels as needed for your equipment.
2) The best results will probably also require custom settings for your guitars,
amps, speakers, and other effects. The VP4 is easy to use. Make it your own.
