Also, it is totally forbidden to use the preamp in the event of rain splatters/water drops
getting into or onto the amp.
Even if it is not a law in your country, you should never allow liquids near the amplifier or
attempt to use the amplifier if it has been subjected to any moisture as this could result
in a fatal electric shock.

Q: What
’
s best: Amp Through or Standalone Mode?
A: If you
’
re using it with a guitar amp, you
’
ll get optimum results using
‘
Amp Through
Mode
’
in our opinion because you still have the option of using your own amp exactly as
normal. However
….................
Q: What if my amp doesn
’
t have an effects loop?
A: You can run the V4 Pedal Preamp straight into the front of any amp in
‘Standalone
Mode’
though some more extreme settings of EQ on both amp and pedal may be
required. To hear the pedal in its most
‘natural’
state, we find higher headroom, cleaner
amps work best. Nevertheless, you may very well love it slamming the front of your
overdriven amp too. Please try it all because the
‘
best
’
setting is undeniably the one you
like most!
Q: If I
’
m running into the FX loop return, does that mean I can
’
t use the front end of my
amp?
A:
‘
Amp Through Mode
’
is a four-cable connection method. When the pedal is on, you
’
re
bypassing the front of your amp. When the pedal is bypassed (turned off) your amp
’
s
front end works entirely as normal. The only thing you can
’
t do in
‘
Amp Through Mode
’
is
hit the front end of your amp with the V4. If you want to do that, please use
‘Standalone
Mode’.
Q: Can I still use my amp
’
s FX loop for other effects if I
’
m using a Victory V4 Series Pedal
Preamp?
A: Absolutely! Just treat it exactly as you would your own amp
’
s preamp. You may want
to run your delays and reverbs after the V4 Pedal Preamps in your amp
’
s loop. You may
want to run other overdrive pedals and boosts wherever you normally run them:
between your guitar and the Pedal Preamp or
–
less common
–
in the loop of the amp.
Either works just fine.
Q: Will my reverbs and delays in the loop still work with the V4 pedal turned on
…
and
off?
