This input takes precedence over the rear input jack (see "Rear Panell - point 5) CHANNEL switch Selects one of the four channels in sequence - 1 through 4. See the MIDI section for more information. 2 Channel 1 Clean 3 GAIN control Adjusts the amount of drive for Channel 1. Higher settings increase distortion and sustain. BRIGHT switch Increases "sparkle" and "bite" of the channel 1. BASS, MID, TREBLE controls This is where you decide the "personality" of the channel. The BASS, MID and TREBLE controls are your classic bridge-T configuration (found in most of the popular guitar amps throughout history). CHANNEL "ON" LED When the LED is lit the channel is active. MASTER control Adjusts the overall volume of Channel 1. 4 5 6 7 Channel 2 Crunch 8 GAIN control Adjusts the amount of drive for Channel 2. Higher settings increase distortion and sustain.

VENDETTA rear panel Foot Controller MIDI/Channel switching section MIDI Pedal Connection/Operation/Phantom Power The MIDI "IN" connection on the back panel of the VENDETTA is a 7-Pin MIDI jack. However, a standard 5 Pin MIDI cable will work. Plug your MIDI controller (pedal) into the MIDI "IN" on the back of the VENDETTA via standard 5 pin MIDI cable. If you have a MIDI Pedal that can be run via Phantom Power then you will need to use a 7 pin MIDI cable. With a 7-pin MIDI cable, pins 6 & 7 will supply power to your MIDI controller. 7-pin MIDI cables are available through your Rocktron dealer. NOTE: The VENDETTA is programed at the factory to default to Channel 1. Plugging in a MIDI Controller (Pedal) whether it is a 4-button controller or a Rocktron MIDI Mate, the Vendetta channels 1-4 will correspond with the MIDI controller buttons 1-4. VENDETTA Channel 1 - MIDI Controller Button 1 VENDETTA Channel 2 - MIDI Controller Button 2 VENDETTA Channel 3 - MIDI Controller Button 3 VENDETTA Channel 4 - MIDI Controller Button 4 Pressing Button 1 on your MIDI Controller will call up VENDETTA Channel 1 - Pressing button 2 on your MIDI Controller will call up VENDETTA Channel 2. . . . and so on. You may also change which button controls which channel on the VENDETTA as well. For example, if you want MIDI Controller Button 2 to turn on VENDETTA channel 1 -first, select button 2 on the MIDI controller. [. . . ] To control the VENDETTA and another MIDI compatible device (like a Rocktron Intellifex), plug a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the MIDI Thru on the VENDETTA into the MIDI IN on the compatible device. At this point refer to your MIDI controller (pedal) manual for program changes, MIDI Mapping and/or advance functions. Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which can be chained together (i. e. With more than three devices connected, a slight distortion of the MIDI signal can occur (due to signal degradation) which can cause an error in MIDI signal transmission. [. . . ]
