Getting Around In the Operating System

The menu structure of your 2120 VGS was specifically designed to be easy to use. The display shows the information you need, but to make

things even easier for you, illumination of the front panel buttons offers additional operating information.

The front panel buttons give you information in one of two ways:

1 - If the button is dim, its function is inactive. Pressing an a dim button causes it to light brightly and its function becomes the

active item in the display.

2 - If the button is bright, its function is active. Pressing an active button (other than the <Program> button) reselects the already

active item in the display.

Program Mode

Program mode allows you to scroll through the Factory and User Programs using the <Program/Effect> wheel. When the 2120 VGS is turned

on, it sets itself to Program mode. Program mode is active when the <Program> button is lit and a Program name is present on the

Information line (top line) of the display.

FX Edit Mode

This mode allows you to edit:

1. Effect configurations

2. Preamp modules

3. FX modules

4. The Output mode module

Use the <Edit> button to enter the FX Edit mode and then to select the next module for editing.

A helpful hint: If you look at the Effect Routing Matrix while you press the FX <Edit> button, the currently selected module will

flash.

Your 2120 VGS uses the <Program/Effect> wheel to select FX modules. Once a module is selected, it uses “Pages” to navigate within an

effect. A “Page” is a group of up to four effect parameters that appear on the screen at one time. Use the <Gain/Page> knob to move through

the Pages in the menu. Note that as you scroll through the Pages, the Page indicator in the lower left corner of the display changes to show the

currently displayed Page number.

Utilities Mode

Access to all of the menu pages of the utility mode can be made by simply pressing the <Utilities> button located on the front panel of the

unit. From this point, the display will tell you that you are in the Utilities library and you can scroll through the options of the utilities menu

by simply turning the <Page> knob.

Levels Mode

Adjustments to the Preamp (Tube or Solid State), DSP, and Master levels can be made by simply pressing the <Levels> button to access the

2120 VGS Artist
