True Bypass or Buffered Bypass:


By removing the 4 screws and the bottom cover, you can see 2 slide switches. Use these to
choose true bypass or our Pure Tone buffered bypass for each channel.

Signal Routing:
The VS-XO is truly 2 pedals in 1 housing. For basic setup, use the Drive-1 input and the
Drive-2 output. You may also change the order of effects by plugging your guitar or bass into
the Drive-2 input, use a short cable from the Drive-2 output to the Drive-1 input, and then go
out from the Drive-1 output. For anything other than the basic setup, just think of the VS-XO
as 2 pedals.

Battery:
If you have a battery installed, make sure to unplug both Input and Output when not using, so
you don’t drain the battery. Then again, why are you using a battery? Get a 1 SPOT!

Switch pop?
For the first 45 seconds after applying power to the pedal, the sound of foot-switch pop is
normal, due to the time it takes for power supply filter capacitors to charge fully. After that,
unlike ordinary true-bypass switches, switch pop goes away.

What is the Clipping switch?


Clipping chooses between three different clipping diode voices:
A) No diodes… low gain, organic.
B) Two LEDs… medium gain, bright.
C) Three signal diodes… higher gain, smooth asymmetrical clipping.
NOTE: These sounds are most noticeable when Clean Mix is fully clockwise.

What is the 3-way Bass switch?


This chooses 3 bass levels:
A) Bass cut.
B) Slight bass boost.
C) More bass boost.

What does the Clean Mix knob do?


This is a single knob mixer that allows you to mix your clean (un-effected) signal back in as
you turn it counter clockwise. At the minimum setting, it is 100% clean and all other knobs
and switches will not function, except for the Volume knob which can provide a clean boost.

The Tone knob on Drive-2 works different than on Drive-1… what’s it doing?
The Drive-2 Tone knob affects both treble and gain at the same time. As you turn it up, treble
increases dramatically, while gain increases slightly.
