X V-AMP

You can restore a single factory preset by keeping

the TAP and STORE keys depressed simul-

taneously for longer than 2 seconds. You can also

restore all factory presets. This is done by keeping

both TAP and STORE keys depressed for longer

than 2 seconds and then powering up the X V-AMP

(i.e. you start the procedure when your X V-AMP is

off).
NOISE G. The NOISE GATE is active and can be edited

when the key LED is lit up. The threshold can be controlled

by using ADJUST. When the ADJUST control is turned all

the way to the left, the NOISE GATE is off and the LED is no

longer lit up.
Release is adjusted using the ADJUST control while the

TAP key is depressed.
How the NOISE GATE works is explained in chapter 6.1.3.
CONFIGURE. By simultaneously pressing NOISE G.

and COMPR.

, you get to the configuration menu. Use

the COMPR. or NOISE G. keys to alternate between indi-

vidual operating modes. This way, you can implement a

global setting on your X V-AMP that lets you adjust to

different studio and live situations. A table with all

configurations as well as additional information on this

subject can be found in chapter 3.

Press COMPR. and NOISE G. simultaneously again

to leave CONFIG. mode.
COMPRESSOR. Press this key to get to the compressor

menu. Use the ADJUST control to regulate ratio, or use

TAP + ADJUST to regulate attack. When the ADJUST

control is turned all the way to the left, the COMPRESSOR

is off and the LED is no longer lit up.
How the compressor works is explained in chapter 6.1.3.
BASS EQ. Simultaneously press COMPR.

and MODUL.

(both LEDs are blinking) to control bass frequencies in

a preset. Use ADJUST to increase or decrease low

frequencies. Keep TAP pressed while turning ADJUST to

determine if you want to affect only the deepest

frequencies (ADJUST turned all the way to the left) or if

you also want to affect higher bass frequencies.
MODULATION. After you press this key (its LED blinks),

you can select one of the eight modulation effects by using

the FX/AMPS control

: Chorus, flanger, phaser, pitch

bend, tremolo, rotary, auto wah and P-funkn. You get to

the second-layer effects (gray) by keeping the TAP key

depressed while you are turning the FX/AMPS control; the

FUNCTION LED lights up. ADJUST controls the effect

ratio in the preset. The speed parameter is adjusted using

TAP. By hitting MODUL.

again, or by selecting a different

parameter, you quit.
You can find a more detailed description of modulation

effects and how they function in chapter 6 EFFECTS

PROCESSOR.

Modulation effects auto wah, pitch bend and

P-Funkn cannot be used simultaneously with Wah

Wah. If you select one of these three effects while

the pedal is already assigned to the wah wah effect,

its assignment to the pedal is annulled (the WAH

LED in the display is no longer lit up).

Assigning the expression pedal to the Wah Wah

effect automatically deactivates auto wah and pitch

bend respectively, so that no modulation effect is

active (all modulation effect and ADJUST LEDs are

no longer lit up).
PRESENCE. You activate PRESENCE by simultaneously

pressing MODUL.

and DELAY

(both LEDs are

blinking). Starting at the middle setting of the ADJUST control

(neutral), the share of PRESENCE (high frequencies) can

be lowered or increased in a preset. Keeping TAP pressed

while you turn ADJUST allows you to determine the center

frequency of the filter.
DELAY. Pressing this key adjusts DELAY. A delay lets you

create a lag in the input signal similar to an echo. Use

ADJUST to regulate the intensity; when you keep TAP

pressed while you turn ADJUST, you set up feedback. The

rhythm in which you tap at the TAP key determines the time

between individual echos.
PEDAL ASSIGN. Press DELAY

and REVERB

simultaneously to assign a function to the EXPRESSION

PEDAL (PA is shown in the display). At the same time,

one of the right-hand LEDs in the display is blinking (speed,

effect, volume, wah). Now you can assign one of the

following functions to the pedal:

Speed: to dial up the SPEED parameter of an effect, hit the

respective effect module key (

) and then briefly

press TAP: SPEED, TAP and effect key LEDs are blinking.

Effect: To modify effect parameters mix, depth,

feedback and decay using the pedal, press the effect

module key of your choice and then modify the desired

parameter (either using ADJUST or ADJUST + TAP): the

EFFECT LED blinks in the display (2

FUNCTION and the

effect key where applicable).

Volume: If you want to use the expression pedal to control

the volume, hold TAP and briefly move ADJUST. The 2

FUNCTION and VOLUME LEDs blink.

Gain: To use the expression pedal to control GAIN in a

preset, you only have to quickly modify GAIN using ADJUST

(VOLUME LED blinks); then, use the pedal to modify GAIN.

Wah Wah: Pressing the expression pedal automatically

selects the wah function. The Wah LED blinks.

Summary: To assign a parameter to the expression

pedal, you have to activate PEDAL ASSIGN and

modify the desired parameter.

Auto wah and pitch bend are automatically

deactivated as long as the expression pedal

controls the Wah Wah effect.

To confirm a new selection you made and to

abandon PEDAL ASSIGN, hit DELAY

and REVERB

at the same time again.

REVERB. Press this key to set up REVERB. A reverb effect

lets you simulate room characteristics in the overall sound.

You can choose between 4 different reverb types:

Ambience, cathedral, spring and reverb. The FX/AMPS

control lets you select between reverb and cathedral, and

if you keep TAP pressed at the same time, then you can

additionally select between spring and ambience (second

layer).
The adjustable reverb parameters are decay and mix.
ADJUST controls the mix, and ADJUST + TAP control decay.
A description of individual reverb types can be found in

chapter 6.2.
The TAP key performs several functions:

GAIN/VOLUME: Use ADJUST to determine the amount of

distortion (GAIN). If you keep TAP pressed while you move

ADJUST, you control the volume of a preset instead.
When editing effect blocks, ADJUST lets you access the

second function layer for parameter settings.

FX/AMPS control and 2

FUNCTION: Hitting TAP lets you

select the second layer of the effects and AMP simulations

(gray).

Speed: Keep hitting the TAP key in the rhythm of a song,

and the selected effect (delay or modulation effect) adjusts

itself automatically to the tapped rhythm.
