Valvetronix VC12 Foot Controller

 

Storing Amp Program Data in the VC-12

You can store your Valvetronix amp’s (AD60, AD120) programs 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

REVERB [TYPE] button, turn on your amp.

 

The VC-12’s BANK display shows "bU"

 

3. Press the VC-12’s BANK UP switch.

The VC-12’s BANK display shows "rC"

 

Switch LEDs (1-4) that contain no program data are off, while those that do contain

program data are on.

 

4. Use switches 1 through 4 to select the memory (1, 2, 3, or 4) into which you

want to store the program data. The selection method you need to use depends on whether the switch’s LED is on or off, as follows.

If the switch LED is off, pressing the switch once will select its memory and its LED will

flash. If the switch LED is on, you’ll need to press the switch for at least three seconds in order to select its memory, and its LED will flash quickly. If you want to cancel your selection and choose another memory, press the switch again, or press the VC-12’s RECALL switch. The switch’s LED will stop flashing.

 

Note: Previously stored program data will be overwritten by the next step and there is no undo!

 

5. To store the program data to the selected memory, press your Valvetronix

amp’s [WRITE] button.

The data is transferred from your Valvetronix amp and stored in the VC-12.

The corresponding switch LED (1–4) comes on, indicating that the memory now

contains program data.

 

6. Turn off your Valvetronix amp, and then turn it back on again.

That completes the procedure for storing data.

 

Loading Program Data

Program data stored in your VC-12 can be loaded into your Valvetronix amp as follows.

 

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

REVERB [TYPE] button, turn on your amp.

The VC-12’s BANK display shows  "bU"

 

3. Press the VC-12’s BANK DOWN switch.

The VC-12’s BANK display shows "tr"

 

4. Use switches 1 through 4 to select the memory (1, 2, 3, or 4) containing the

program data that you want to load.

The switch’s LED flashes.

If you want to cancel the procedure at this point, press the switch again, or press the

VC-12’s RECALL switch.

 

5. To load the selected memory’s program data, press the VC-12’s CHANNEL–FX

ON/OFF switch.

The program data is sent to your Valvetronix amp. When the data loading process is complete, “4.” appears on your Valvetronix amp’s BANK display.

 

6. Turn off your Valvetronix amp, and thenturn it on again.

That completes the procedure for loading data.

 

Loading Program Data into Two Amps

Although you cannot store program data from a Valvetronix amp connected to the VC-12’s VOX BUS SUB connector, the same program data is output by this connector during the loading process, which means you can easily load program data into two Valvetronix amps simultaneously—one connected to the VC-12’s VOX BUS MAIN connector, the other to its VOX BUS SUB connector.

 

1. Turn off both Valvetronix amps and make sure one is connected to the VC-

12’s VOX BUS MAIN connector, the other, to its VOX BUS SUB connector.

 

2. On the Valvetronix amp connected to the VOX BUS MAIN connector, while

holding down the DELAY [TAP] button and the REVERB [TYPE] button, turn on

the amp.

The VC-12’s BANK shows  "Bu"

 

3. On the Valvetronix amp connected to the VOX BUS SUB connector, while

holding down the DELAY [TAP] button and the REVERB [TYPE] button, turn on

the amp.

The VC-12’s BANK display should still show "Bu".

 

4. Press the VC-12’s BANK DOWN switch.

The VC-12’s BANK display shows "tr"

 

5. Use switches 1 through 4 to select the memory (1, 2, 3, or 4) containing the

program data that you want to load.

The switch’s LED flashes.

 

If you want to cancel the procedure at this point, press the switch again, or press the

VC-12’s RECALL switch.

 

6. To load the selected memory’s program data, press the VC-12’s CHANNEL–FX

ON/OFF switch.

The program data is sent to both Valvetronix amps. When the data loading process is complete, “4.” appears on the BANK displays of both Valvetronix amps.

 

7. Turn off both Valvetronix amps, and then turn them back on again.

That completes the procedure for loading data into two amps.

 

Deleting VC-12 Program Data

The program data stored in each VC-12 memory can be deleted as follows. This

procedure does not delete the program data in your Valvetronix amp.

Warning: You cannot recover deleted 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

REVERB [TYPE] button, turn on your amp.

The VC-12’s BANK display shows "bU".

 

3. Press the VC-12’s BANK UP switch.

The VC-12’s BANK display shows "rC". Switch LEDs (1–4) that contain no program data are off, while those that do contain program data are on.

 

4. Hold down the VC-12 switch (1, 2, 3, or 4) for the memory whose program data you want to delete for at least five seconds.

The switch’s LED flashes quickly. If you want to cancel the procedure at this

point, press the switch again, or press the VC-12’s RECALL switch.

 

5. To delete the selected memory’s program data, press the VC-12’s CHANNELFX

ON/OFF switch. The data is deleted and the corresponding switch LED (1–4) goes off.

 

6. Turn off your Valvetronix amp, and then turn it back on again.

That completes the procedure for deleting program data.
