Chapter 8 Parameters Guide
In this chapter you’ll find detailed descriptions for each of the VB-99’s operational parameters.
The COSM BASS section provides a rich array of settings that allow you to produce an enormous variety of instrument tones. In addition to
traditional bass parameters—such as settings for the pickup, body, and string tuning—you can also produce tones not normally available from a
bass guitar, including synthesizer and electric guitar sounds.
