FRONT PANEL FEATURES

1 2
1 – INPUT JACK
Connect your guitar to this socket.
2 – NORMAL VOLUME CONTROL
This controls the volume of the clean (NORMAL) chan-
nel. At lower settings the sound will be very clean and
bright, at higher settings the sound will become some-
what thicker and warmer, whilst at the highest settings
the sound will "break up" into a natural vintage style dis-
tortion.
As different types of electric guitars have vastly different
amounts of tonal qualities and output levels, your guitar
will have a major influence on where you will need to set
the position of the controls on this amplifier to achieve
the response you desire.
Please Note — for this control to be functional the
amplifier channel switching facility needs to be set to
the Normal channel.
3 – CHANNEL SWITCHING BUTTON
This button controls whether your amplifier is set for Nor-
mal or Overdrive — OUT = NORMAL, IN = OVERDRIVE.
Your VR15 can also be channel switched by using the
optional VF-001 Footswitch (connected via the back panel
Footswitch Jack (12)). This function can only be oper-
ated when the front panel switch is "IN" position.
When the Normal channel is selected, the LED (6) is not
illuminated — when the Overdrive channel is selected,
the Green LED is illuminated.
4 – OVERDRIVE STYLE BUTTON
This button changes the distortion characteristics
(STYLE) of the Overdrive channel — OD1 or OD2.
OD1 is a warm natural "vintage" overdrive flavour, ideal
for "blues" based sounds.
OD2 is a harder, more aggressive, high gain style distor-
tion, more suited to "modern" playing.

5 – OVERDRIVE CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL
This regulates the amount of preamp "gain" and there-
fore the amount of overdrive or distortion that is gener-
ated by the Overdrive Channel. Like the Normal Volume
control, lower settings means less distortion, higher set-
tings means much, much more distortion!
6 – CHANNEL SELECT LED
Illuminates GREEN when the Overdrive channel is se-
lected.
7 – OVERDRIVE CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL
This controls the amount of overdrive generated by the
preamp signal that is sent to the VR15's Valve Reactor
power amplifier. Use this to set the loudness required for
your use, and also to balance the overdrive sound against
your clean (Normal) sound.
8 – BASS CONTROL
This controls the amount of BASS in your sound.
9 – TREBLE CONTROL
This controls the amount of TREBLE in your sound.
10 – POWER LED
Illuminates RED when your amplifier is switched on (11),
and is also connected to a suitable mains power supply.
11 – MAINS POWER SWITCH
Turns your VR15 OFF/ON from the connected mains
power.
