original covering. It fits just like the original rear panel, except it houses the new
completely assembled VT LOOP MOD.

The SEND jack is located on the top left side of the VT LOOP MOD!s panel, when a
cable is inserted it redirects the signal out of the pre-amp section of the amp, sending it
to your effect of choice.

The RETURN jack is located on the bottom left side of the VT LOOP MOD!s panel,
when a cable is inserted it redirects the signal into the power amp section of the amp
before the tube, returning the signal from your effect of choice.

The CD input jack is located on the bottom left of center side of the VT LOOP MOD!s
panel, when a cable is inserted it injects the signal from any CD / MP3 player into the
return section of the circuit, you can adjust the level of the CD / MP3 player to match
your guitar levels using the CD level control in conjunction with the amp!s master
volume control.

The HEADPHONE jack is located on the bottom right of center side of the VT LOOP
MOD!s panel, the headphone circuit is now placed after the effects loop and CD / MP3
player input, so anything going into the amp can be heard through the headphones.
Plus the headphone jack is no longer a through circuit (the signal does not go through
the headphone jack to complete the amp!s circuit) and will not effect the signal path of
the amp (no more dirty headphone jack contacts causing the amp!s sound to degrade).
The HEADPHONE jack can also be used as a LINE OUT for sending signal to a PA or
recording device. However the line out plug when inserted into the headphone jack
should be pulled back out slightly (insert the cable plug and pull it out one click), this
allows the mono signal to be sent to your PA or recorder without any signal loss.
*Use the mute switch in conjunction with this feature for either silent use (speaker off =
mute on) or monitor use (speaker on = mute off).

The MUTE / BOOST SWITCH is located on the top right of center side of the VT
LOOP MOD!s panel, this switch has 3 positions, up, center and down. In the CENTER
position both circuits are off, in the UP position the boost circuit (cabinet simulation) is
on, in the DOWN position the speaker mute circuit is on for private listening (speaker
off / mute on).

The BOOST foot switch jack is located on the top right side of the VT LOOP MOD!s
panel, this allows a modified two button foot switch to control the BOOST and MUTE
circuits (foot switch available separately). When the FOOT SWITCH jack is in use the
MUTE / BOOST SWITCH is de-activated and only the foot switch will control these
features.
*To prevent damage from occurring to your amp, the amp should be turned off before
plugging into and out of this jack.

The EXTERNAL SPEAKER VT15 & 30 model amps jack is located on the bottom
right side of the VT LOOP MOD!s panel, speaker impedance should be no less than
4". When a speaker cable is inserted it redirects the speaker signal to an external
speaker cabinet, disconnecting the internal speaker.
VT50 model amps, speaker impedance should be no less than 4". When a speaker
cable is inserted it redirects the internal speaker signal in series with an external
speaker cabinet, allowing the internal speaker to work with the external speaker. This
has no effect on the VT50!s existing external speaker jack that disconnects the internal
speaker when used, giving you the choice of internal speaker with or without external
speaker
*To prevent damage from occurring to your amp, the amp should be turned off before
plugging into and out of this jack.

The FOOT SWITCH, requires a 2 button modified foot switch (available separately).
Most standard 2 button foot switches will not work unless they are modified. A modified
2 button foot switch is available for purchase separately on our website.
In case you decide to modify your foot switch yourself or have someone do the
modification for you, we have provided the details below;
The 2 button foot switch requires that one of the switches be a S.P.D.T. (a D.P.D.T. will
also work). Once you have the correct switches, re-configure the foot switch wires to
match the drawing below;
