4. VIP3 Menu
The VIP3 menu can be displayed by holding the amp encoder button for 4 seconds during normal operation.
The menu contains selections to adjust the display contrast, enable/disable demo mode, enable/disable Katakana
characters and perform a factory reset. When the menu is displayed, turning the Instr/Stomp encoder scrolls
through the available menu functions. Pressing the amp encoder selects the displayed menu function. Once a
menu selection is chosen, the bottom line of the display tells how to perform the selected function or choose a
value, if appropriate. For example, to perform a factory reset, turn the stomp encoder until “FACTORY RESET”
appears on the top row of the display, then press the amp encoder to select the menu item. The word “YES” will
be displayed above the amp encoder and the word “NO” will be displayed above the effects encoder. Press the
amp encoder to initiate factory reset - or press the effects encoder to cancel. The menu can be canceled without
saving changes by pressing the effects encoder button or the Tap Tempo button. Settings selected by the VIP3
menu are saved in ash memory until a new selection is made or a factory reset is performed. Note, the menu
cannot be accessed during Demo Mode.
5. Power-Up Button Combinations
Pressing and holding certain combinations of front panel buttons while turning on the amp power
causes the VIP to perform special start up functions. The proper technique is to hold the button (or pair
of buttons), turn on the power, and continue to hold the button combination until the startup function
has begun (usually 4 or 5 seconds is sufcient).
The following front panel button combinations can be used during power-up on VIP1 and VIP2:
Button A and B perform factory reset
Button A and D show code revision on LEDs
Button B and C toggle enable/disable of Katakana characters for naming presets
Button B and D open VIP1/VIP2 banks
Button C and D toggle enable/disable of demo mode “light show”
The following front panel button combinations can be used during power-up on VIP3:
Instr/Stomp and Amp buttons toggle enable/disable of Katakana characters for presets *
Presets and Instr/Stomp buttons perform factory reset *
Amp encoder and Tap button toggle enable/disable of demo mode “light show” *
* This feature is also available in the VIP3 menu during normal operation.
6. Saving Presets on VIP 1 and VIP 2
To save changes to the current preset over a different preset, press and hold its bank button until its LED be-
gins to blink. The LEDs for any other banks in which the preset can be saved will also blink. Select the bank to
save in by tapping the desired bank button - it will continue to blink but the other bank LEDs will turn off. If
the bank LED is not the color of the desired preset to overwrite, tap the bank LED again until the color matches
the desired preset number. To complete the save, press and hold the bank button until the LED stops blinking.
Pressing the Tap Tempo button cancels the save.
7. USB Recording Operation:
When using the USB as a recording interface, the speaker will remain on until you start recording, then it will
mute (unmutes when you stop recording). When using the USB as a data interface when using the Vypyr Edit
program, the speaker will remain on.
