Applying Reverb to Each Group

Here’s how to apply reverb to the sound of each group.

2Press the [REVERB] button.

The [REVERB] button will light, and reverb will turn on.

*Reverb will turn off if you press the [REVERB] button once again.

3Press the [REVERB SEND] button.

The [REVERB SEND] button will light; now you can use the [Control] knobs to adjust the reverb send.

4Turn the [Control] knobs of the groups to which you want to apply reverb, adjusting their reverb send.

Parameter	Value
Reverb send	-Inf dB – +10.0 dB

*The indicators around the [Control] knobs indicate the approximate reverb send value.

When the 6 o’clock indicator is lit, the reverb send is at the “0.0 dB” setting.
