X V-AMP LX1-X User Manual

1. Introduction

The X V-AMP gives you extensive options to create an awesome stage show.
The latest technology, simple and intuitive operation and robust construction
result in optimal performance and dependability.
Your X V-AMP unites a selection of the best and most-liked effects and amp
simulations from our venerable V-AMP 2. These effects and amp simulation
can of course be edited and stored. Additional features, such as compressor,
noise gate and the most current modulation effects, give you a maximum on
flexibility and let your creativity come to full expression.

1.1 Before you get started

Your X V-AMP was carefully packed at the factory to assure it will survive the
rigors of the road. If the cardboard packaging looks like it's been through a lot,
please inspect the contents and look for indications of damage.
◊
In case your X V-AMP is damaged, DO NOT send it directly to us.
Instead, first notify the store where you bought it as well as the carrier
who made the delivery. Otherwise, you may void your warranty.
Always make sure your X V-AMP gets enough air flow and never put it near the
heating or other heat-emitting equipment to avoid damage to the device.
Power is delivered via the enclosed power supply. All requiered safety
precautions have been adhered to. As soon as you connect the X V-AMP to the
mains via the power supply, your X V-AMP is automatically switched on.

2. Control Elements and Connectors

In this chapter, we will describe different control elements of your X V-AMP.
All controls and connectors will be explained in detail, and you will also get
useful advice on how to use them.

2.1 Basic advice on using the controls

Here is some quick information about the most basic and most important control
elements of your X V-AMP.
• Keys (3) , (5) , (7) , (9) and (11) : use these keys to directly select effects
settings and operating modes.
• FX/AMPS control (14) : Uset the right-hand half to select amp simulations in a
preset. The corresponding LED lights up. Use the left-hand half to select the
effects. When effects blocks are selected using the keys (7) , (9) and (11) ,
the LED on the current effect lights up.
• TAP LED (12) : The frequency at which the LED blinks indicates the speed
and/or the rhythm of a delay or a modulation effect (also see chapter 6
"EFFECTS PROCESSOR").
By keeping TAP depressed, 2nd FUNCTION (13) is activated. By doing this,
the second level of the FX/AMPS control (14) (gray) and ADJUST (1) is accessible.
• Footswitches UP (16) and DOWN (17) : Used to select presets; these
presets are indicated in the DISPLAY (15) . Footswitches UP (16) and
DOWN (17) are also used to activate the BYPASS/TUNER function
(also see chapter 7 "TUNER").
• DISPLAY LEDs: PEDAL ASSIGN indicates the function to which the pedal
has been assigned. CONFIGURATION permanently indicates the selected
operating mode.
(1) ADJUST: Used to perform various adjustments. You can find more
information about using ADJUST in the descriptions of individual control
elements as well as in chapter 6 "EFFECTS PROCESSOR".
GAIN. Use this control to regulate the drive of the amp simulation,
i.e. the degree of distortion. Use it when none of the keys (3) , (5) , (7) , (9)
or (11) are blinking.
VOLUME: If you hold the TAP key (12) depressed, using ADJUST lets you
adjust the volume of a preset.
(2) STORE. The presets on the X V-AMP are saved using the STORE key. If the
STORE key lights up, it means that a preset has been changed but has not yet
been stored. By keeping the STORE key depressed (longer than 2 seconds),
the newly edited preset is stored. When the STORE LED is no longer lit up,
the stored preset shown in the display is now active.
