the right of the central LED is on, the pitch
is too high.

About Manual Mode
While your Valvetronix amp is in Manual
mode, the VC-12’s BANK display shows
and the VC-12 works the same as for Effect
On/Off mode, in which you can do the follow-
ing:
• Switch the Pedal, Modulation, Delay, and
Reverb sections on and off individually
using switches 1 though 4.
• Set the delay time by tapping the TAP
switch.
• Control your amp’s volume by using the
Volume pedal.
• Control Pedal section effects by using the
Expression pedal.
• Tune your guitar using the built-in tuner.
Note: While your Valvetronix amp is in
Manual mode, you cannot select programs
from the VC-12, although they can still be
selected on your amp. You’ll need to cancel
Manual mode on your amp before you can
use the VC-12 to select programs.
Storing Amp Program Data in
the VC-12
You can store your Valvetronix amp’s pro-
grams in the VC-12’s four memories. Each
memory can store 32 programs, which
means you can store 128 programs in total
(32 x 4 = 128).
Storing Program Data
1. Turn off your Valvetronix amp and make
sure it’s connected to the VC-12’s VOX
BUS MAIN connector.
Note: Don’t connect anything to the VC-12's
VOX BUS SUB connector.
2. On your Valvetronix amp, while holding
down the DELAY [TAP] button and the
