Enough Talk Already...Shut Up and
Let Me Play My Guitar!
a.k.a.
“Quick Start”
ep, you’re right, the vast majority of manuals are about as interesting as watching
paint dry and we know that you’re anxious to plug in to your new amp and give it a
whirl in the comfort of your own home. So, here’s a “Quick Start” to get you up and
running in a heartbeat.
Once you’ve satisfied your primal urge to play, I’d like to urge you to give this man-
ual a chance - it’s been written by a fellow guitar nut and this amp boasts some killer bells
‘n’ whistles that warrant your interest. In short, it’ll be worth your while, we promise. This
said, here’s the “Quick Start” - enjoy! I look forward to talking you through the amp in
more detail once you’re done....
HINT: Want life to be easy? Of course you do! For this reason I suggest you fold out the
inside back cover of this “Guitarist’s Guide” before you go any further. Why? So you can
see the pretty pictures of the Top Panel and Rear Panel it contains while you’re going
through the “Quick Start,” that’s why!
CHECKING OUT THE 32 FACTORY PRESET PROGRAMS
1. Turn the MASTER Volume Control on the amp all the way down.
2. Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the AC POWER CONNECTOR
on the rear panel of the amp and the other end into the wall.
3. Make sure the AC wall socket you’ve plugged into is switched on!
4. While you’re around the back of your amp, take a quick look at the POWER
SELECT switch and dial in the output power you’d like to start with...yep,
you have a choice! How cool is that?
5. Plug your guitar into one of the two INPUT JACKS (HIGH or LOW- take your
choice &, if unsure, I recommend you take the HIGH road!).
Right, now we’ve got to this point, there are two ways you can go - you can
either check out the factory presets (32 killer programs that will give you a
darned good taste of the plethora of great tones that lurk within your Val-
vetronix amp) or you can dive right in and start writing your own programs
