pressing the two arrow keys simultaneously. The display will

show “40”, which means 440 Hz. Use the arrow keys to raise or

lower the reference pitch by up to 15 Hz. The display always

shows the last two digits as the first digit is always 4. For

example, if you start with a reference pitch of 440 Hz and press

the right-hand arrow three times, the display will read 43, i.e.

443 Hz. To quit EDIT mode, press either the TUNER or the TAP

button. Any changes will be stored automatically. The tones for

the other strings on your guitar will automatically be adjusted to

the new reference pitch.

8. INSTALLATION

8.1 Mains voltage

Before you connect the unit to the mains, please make

sure that the voltage setting on the unit matches the

local voltage! The fuse holder at the AC power connector has

3 triangular markings (V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO only). Two of these

three triangles are aligned with one another. The unit is set to the

voltage shown next to these markings and can be switched

over by turning the fuse holder by 180°. IMPORTANT: This

does not apply to export models designed exclusively

for 120 V operation!

+

If you set the unit to a different mains voltage, be

sure to use a fuse of the correct type and rating.

Please refer to chapter 10 “SPECIFICATIONS” for

details.

+

Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same

type and rating! Please refer to chapter 10

“SPECIFICATIONS” for details.

V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO: The mains connection is made using

the enclosed power cord and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets

all of the international safety certification requirements.

V-AMP 2: the mains connection is made using the enclosed

power supply.

Please make sure that all units have a proper

ground connection. For your own safety, never

remove or disable the ground conductor from the

unit or of the AC power cord.

8.3 MIDI connections

The MIDI standard (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) was

developed in the early ’80s to enable different makes of electronic

instruments to communicate with each other. Over the years the

range of MIDI applications has constantly expanded, and today it

is standard practice to network entire recording studios using

the MIDI standard.

The heart of such a network is a computer with sequencer

software that controls not only all the keyboards but also effects

other peripheral devices. In such a studio set-up you can control

the V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 in real time from a computer.

For live performances in particular, you can also use a MIDI foot

controller to control both effect parameters and preset changes.

The MIDI connectors are international-standard 5-pin DIN jacks.

To connect your device to other MIDI equipment you will need

dedicated MIDI cables. They are commercially available in various

standard lengths.
