Stompbox Encoder

VIP 1
VIP 2
The first encoder to the right of the input jack is the Instrument/Stompbox encoder. This control selects
the Instrument model or Stompbox (Traditional floor effects unit) which is exactly like connecting your
guitar to your favorite pedal and then into your amplifier. With the Instrument/Stompbox encoder you can
select several unique instrument models, as well as distortion and boost pedals. Combine these with the
various amp channel settings and you can get some pretty amazing tones. Simply turn the Instrument/
Stompbox encoder to select the effect you desire. If you want to adjust the parameters, simply press
the encoder to enter Edit mode (See Edit mode in Quick Start Guide). Refer to the VIP Matrix to see what
stompboxes, instruments and effects are on each model.
