The structure of an VoFX Program is logical, and it doesn't require a lot of time to master. To Select Programs in the VoFX: 1) After you power up, use the Data wheel to scroll through the Programs. These LEDs indicate which effects are used in each Program, and which Program in the Bank is selected. 9 are digital effect groups (delay, reverb, etc. ) , and 4 cover the preamp section (compression, Mic Driver, EQ). Each group has its own LED that indicates the status of each group. If the Effect LED is lit continuously, an effect in the indicated group is active. If the LED is flashing, edit mode is active, and effects in the group can be selected using the Data wheel. Directly below each vertical group are the <Effect Selector buttons>. The following things happen when you use the Effect Selector buttons: · When you select a bypassed effect, its group LED begins flashing and the dis play shows two dashes, indicating that the effect is selected but bypassed. (Pressing the Select button again activates the effect. ) · When you select an active effect, its group LED begins flashing and the dis play shows the number of the currently selected effect. (Pressing the button again bypasses the effect. ) When lit, the User LED below the display indicates that the current Program is a User Program. When the LED is not lit, the current Program is a permanent Factory Program. Using The Footswitches The VoFX's pedalboard consists of four footswitches: the far right footswitch is the Bank selector, and the remaining three are Program selectors. There are 10 User Banks in the VoFX, each with 3 Programs for a total of 30 User Programs. There are also 30 Factory Programs that can be selected using the Data wheel only. User Programs in any of the Banks can be recalled in one of two ways: · by pressing the Bank select footswitch, followed by footswitch 1, 2, or 3. 6 Signal Processing Signal Processing · by turning the Data wheel in Performance mode. To select Programs using the footswitches: 1) After you power up, the VoFX defaults to Performance mode. The display shows the selected bank number on the left side of the display and a dash on the right. The display might look something like this: 22) Press footswitch 1, 2, or 3. The dash in the display changes to show the number of the Program you selected. The display might look something like this: 23 NOTE: If a new Program number is not selected within 5 seconds after pressing the Bank select button, the display returns to its previous setting. Editing Programs As you become more familiar with the VoFX, you may find that you need to modify certain Programs to better fit your needs.

One path remains uneffected, while the other is modulated in and out of phase. When this is combined with the original, part of the signal is returned back to the input (feedback). Increased feedback settings can produce very spacey sounds, reminiscent of late 60's and 70's music. [. . . ]
