About the Workshop Booklets
Adjusting the VG-99’s Sound Output for Your
Performance Environment
Roland’s VG-99 V-Guitar System is, simply put, the most powerful guitar
processor ever made. It’s the third and latest generation V-Guitar system
from Roland, and it offers an astounding set of creative sound-making tools
for the guitarist. Featuring dual COSM guitar and amp modeling paths, two
independent multi-effects processors, massive realtime control options,
pitch-to-MIDI conversion, and USB, the VG-99 is a guitarist’s dream machine,
capable of producing sounds that are limited only by your imagination.
The VG-99 gives you an amazing amount of sound-
shaping power, allowing you to store a complete
“finished” sound in every patch, including instrument,
amps, effects, EQ, and so on. However, when you
perform with the VG-99, you’ll probably find that
you need to adjust the overall sound of all patches
slightly to optimize your tone for a given performance
situation.
Each VG-99 Workshop booklet focuses on one VG-99 topic, and is intended
as a companion to the
VG-99
Owner’s Manual
.
About This Booklet
Why is this? Well, because every performance situation is a bit different.
For instance, at a live gig you’ll probably plug the VG-99 into an instrument
amplifier, while for a recording session you’ll likely connect it directly to a
mixer or a computer. And when you play live, the acoustics of a given room
may be very different from those where you originally created your patches.
For example, you might find your patches sound too “wet” in a live room or
too “dry” in a dead-sounding room, or that you want to add a little treble or
bass to the overall sound.
The VG-99 lets you tailor its sound output to match the amplification system
you’re connected to and the environment you’re performing in without
changing the settings stored in individual patches. We’ll show you how in
this booklet.
Understanding the Symbols in This Booklet
Obviously, it’s not practical or desirable to go into each patch and tweak the
sound for every gig. That’s why the VG-99 provides a number of parameters
that let you tailor the overall sound of all patches, while not actually
affecting the stored patch data itself. These parameters are stored in groups
called “Global Settings,”
global
meaning that they affect every sound coming
from the VG-99’s outputs.
Throughout this booklet, you’ll come across information that deserves
special attention—that’s the reason it’s labeled with one of the following
symbols.
A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand.
A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.
In a Global Setting, you can make the following sound adjustments:
Main Output Select—
This adjusts the VG-99’s MAIN
outputs to match the device you’re plugging in to, be it
headphones, a mixer, a combo amp, an effects return on
an amp head, etc.
Global Main EQ and Global SUB EQ—
Warnings contain important information that can help you avoid
possible damage to your equipment, your data, or yourself.
•
These powerful four-band
equalizers allow you to independently adjust the tone of signals sent to
the VG-99’s MAIN OUT and SUB OUT jacks.
Global Reverb Level—
•
This setting increases or decreases the overall
reverb level relative to the level(s) set in each patch.
2
•
•
This adjusts the noise suppressor
threshold relative to the threshold level(s) set in each patch.
Global SUB OUT Level—
MAIN OUTPUT SELECT
•
This increases or decreases the level of signals
sent to the SUB OUT jacks relative to the SUB OUT levels set at the
system level or in each patch.
On Page 1 of the Global Setting screens, you can
select the type of device you’re connecting the
VG-99’s MAIN OUT jacks to. Most of these settings
add some subtle equalization to the signal to
compensate the VG-99’s sound to match the inherent tonal characteristics
of various instrument amplifiers. The exception is the LINE/PHONES setting,
which outputs an un-equalized, “flat response” sound.
You can edit, name, and recall 10 different Global Settings. This lets you
quickly and easily set up the VG-99’s sound output for the environments you
perform in frequently.
Editing Global Settings
The sound output from the SUB OUT jacks is always equivalent to the
LINE/PHONES setting.

Tips for Choosing the Best MAIN OUTPUT SELECT
Setting
Let your ears be your guide—
Global MAIN EQ
•
The names given to
the MAIN OUTPUT SELECT settings are only starting
points. Try all the settings to see which one sounds
best with your particular rig.
When connecting to a full-range system, choose LINE/PHONES—
The Global Main EQ is a four-band equalizer that adjusts the tonality of the
sound coming out of the VG-99’s MAIN OUT jacks. The High and Low EQ
bands are fixed shelving-type EQs, while the Low Mid and High Mid bands
are fully adjustable parametric EQs.
•
A full-
range system reproduces sound in an uncolored way, so there’s no
need to compensate the VG-99’s output. Examples of a full-range
system would be a keyboard amp (such as Roland’s KC series), an
acoustic guitar amp (such as Roland’s AC series), a PA system, or a studio
monitoring system.
Try the LINE/PHONES setting first, even when plugging into a guitar amp—
Up to nine additional four-band EQs are available for shaping your
sound within each patch.

You may find that this un-equalized setting works best with your amp.
Turn off the VG-99’s COSM speaker modeling when amplifying the VG-99
through guitar speakers—
The speaker system in a typical electric guitar
amp colors the sound in a dramatic way, and plays a large role in
determining the amp’s overall sound character. This sound coloring is
why the VG-99 includes models of guitar speakers in the first place. But
COSM speaker modeling sounds best when it’s used with a full-range
speaker system. If you leave it on when amplifying the VG-99 through a
guitar speaker, you’re effectively coloring the sound twice, and this will
usually result in an undesirable dark and/or “boxy” sound. To avoid this,
we recommend that you create patches with COSM speaker modeling
turned off for these applications.
2
Use the F1 knob or button to turn the Global Main EQ on and off.
3
Use the F2 knob to set the overall gain of the EQ (TOTAL GAIN).
Adjusting an EQ band changes the volume of the frequency range that’s
assigned to it. As such, the overall volume of the entire signal may
be changed, especially with dramatic EQ adjustments. After you’ve
finished adjusting all the EQ bands, toggle the EQ on and off while
playing and use the TOTAL GAIN control to compensate for any level
difference that may have been introduced. The goal is to achieve the
same volume when the EQ is on or off.
COSM speaker modeling is part of the VG-99’s COSM amp section. To
learn more about working with COSM speaker modeling, see the
VG-99

The VG-99 includes noise suppressors that reduce hum and
noise that are picked up by your guitar’s pickups. Up to four
noise suppressors can be active at any given time: one for
each COSM instrument (A and B), and one in each multi-
effects processor (A and B).

BUZZ
HUM
Even though they’re named “Low Mid” and “High Mid,” these EQ bands
can actually be set to adjust a specific frequency over a very broad
range, from 20 Hz to 10 kHz.
The noise suppressors work by suppressing noise and hum that rise above
a certain level, or “threshold.” The threshold control in each noise suppressor
lets you dial in the level at which the noise occurs and silence it.
Global SUB EQ
Due to conditions in your performance environment—such as the presence
of AC line noise, RF interference, etc.—you may need to raise the noise
suppressors’ thresholds to get rid of noise. Conversely, you may want to
lower them in conditions where noise interference isn’t present. Using the
Global NS setting, you can offset the threshold settings stored in each patch
as necessary.
The Global SUB EQ is a four-band equalizer that adjusts the tonality of the
sound coming out of the VG-99’s SUB OUT jacks. Functionally, it’s identical to
the Global Main EQ. Navigate to Pages 4 and 5 of the Global Setting screens
to adjust the Global SUB EQ.
Use the F1 knob to adjust the Global NS setting until the noise
disappears. “+” settings raise the threshold, while “-” settings
lower it. Press F1 to quickly set the threshold to 0 dB. (At 0 dB,
the VG-99 uses the threshold settings stored in each patch.)
Depending on the noise suppressor settings and other settings in the
currently selected patch, adjusting the Global NS threshold may have
no audible effect.
