8 Concepts Behind Development of the V-Guitar System ■ The Process That Led to the Birth of the V-Guitar System The acoustic piano has enjoyed a history of hundreds of years, culminating in the shape that it has today. The piano craftsmen of the past must have longed for piano wires that could be stretched just as tightly as they pleased.
9 Main features ■ A new dimension of sound- creation made possible by three core sections: COSM Guitar, COSM Amp, and multi- effects The COSM GUITAR section allows you to change the guitar’s pickup and body. The COSM AMP section permits the accurate simulation of distortion, amp head, speakers, and mic placement.
10 How to use this manual This manual is broadly divided into eight chapters that explain operations and functions you will use during normal playing, as well as how to make various settings. You’ll get the most from this manual by reading its chapters in order.
