manual abstract
Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable. • To avoid injury, avoid placing hands at points indicated by the arrows in the following figure. • When this device is in operation, the cooling fins located on the rear panel will become hot. Take care not to touch them with your hands. Attaching and Removing the Casters Attaching all of the casters can make it easier to move the amplifier. o When using casters, take care not to allow fingers or other parts of the hand or body to get pinched or injured. o Be sure to remove all casters when accidental movement may be dangerous such as when setting up the VGA-5 on stage or when transporting it in a vehicle. o If casters have been attached to the amp, make sure it is used only on a stable, level surface. 8 Main Features The VGA-5, a 65 watt guitar amplifier with built-in memory functions, comprises two sections: a COSM amplifier section featuring eleven COSM amplifier types along with ten different COSM speaker types, that you can freely combine to create sounds; and an effects section with four kinds of effects, which can be used simultaneously. The cabinet's 12 inch (30 cm) built-in bass reflex speaker provides rich sound over an extended range, from powerful lows to a crisp high end. COSM Amplifiers • The VGA-5 features eleven guitar amplifier sounds, including not only familiar solid-state and tube amplifier sounds, but also an acoustic amplifier sound that allows you to perform with the sound of an acoustic guitar. • Gain, volume, three-band equalizer, and presence controls give you even more precise control over the sound creation process. All of these functions are set so they suit the unique characteristics of each amplifier type. • Built-in speaker modeling also takes into account cabinet properties. While naturally reproducing the original sound of legendary equipment, it is also possible to create new sounds by changing the speaker configurations. Effects • The VGA-5 features four built-in effects: EFX, delay, chorus, and reverb. All of them can be used at the same time. You can use the foot switch to turn each effect on and off. • The EFX includes six effects, wah, tremolo, compressor, slow gear, phaser, and flanger; you can select any one of these to use at a time. • The delay time can be input by tapping a button. This makes setting the delay time simple. Delay also has a Hold function that allows you to repeatedly play back a recorded phrase. Memory Function You can store groups of settings in the VGA-5's memory, for example for amplifier type, speaker type, and effect settings. Switching the memory then allows you to instantly select just the right settings for what you are playing. Simple Operation The VGA-5 provides simple button and knob controls, which let you do everything from switching memory to creating sounds, quickly and easily. Superb Expandability • The VGA-5 is equipped with an external input jack which allows connection of guitar synthesizers and other devices. There is also a line out jack, convenient for recording. • The VGA-5 is also equipped with foot switch jacks. These let you use your foot to switch memory and turn effects on and off. You can also connect an expression pedal to control volume and wah. • A MIDI IN connector is also provided. You can control the VGA-5 with an external MIDI device, using MIDI messages to switch memory and perform other functions. COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) Technology that uses advanced methods to create a virtual reconstruction of actual physical objects, based on aspects such as their structure and constituent elements, is referred to as "modeling technology." COSM represents proprietary technology from Roland, which combines a number of sound modeling technologies, and takes them to a new level of sound creation. V............................................................................................................................................................................................................J Q Main Features List of Amplifier Types Thanks to Roland's proprietary Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) technology, the VGA-5 is able to faithfully reproduce the sounds and nuances of 11 distinct amplifier types-from classic combos to modern high-gain stacks. Not only do these amplifier models sound like the originals, but they feel like the originals, giving you authentic control and unrivaled response. ACOUSTIC By combining acoustic guitar simulation with COSM amplifier modeling technology, this original amplifier model gives you a dynamic acoustic guitar sound using a standard electric guitar. The resulting tone varies according to the characteristics of the electric guitar's pickups, so be sure to try out various pickup posi...
