Troubleshooting
The VC-12 doesn’t turn on when I turn
on the connected device?
• Make sure that your Valvetronix amp or
VOX BUS-compatible device is connected
to the VC-12’s VOX BUS MAIN connector.
(The VC-12 cannot receive power via the
VOX BUS SUB connector.)
• Make sure that the connected device is
working properly.
• Check the connecting cable for damage.
My amp produces no sound?
• Make sure that your guitar is connected
correctly.
• Make sure that the volume controls on
your guitar are not turned off.
• Make sure that the VC-12’s built-in tuner is
not set for silent tuning.
• Make sure that the Volume pedal is not
fully up.
• Check your guitar cable.
Can’t turn effects on or off from the
VC-12?
• On the connected device, make sure that
the effects section is not turned off, and
check its settings.
• Make sure that the connected device’s
effects loop is not bypassed.
The Expression pedal doesn’t work?
• On the connected device, make sure that
an effect is selected in the Pedal effect
section.
• If you are using a Valvetronix amp, to
control a Modulation effect, the amp’s [EX
CTL] switch must be set to ON.
The Expression pedal or Volume pedal
doesn’t respond properly?
• If the settings of the VC-12 and connected
device seem OK, try calibrating the pedal.
