Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the MicroVerb 4
Auditioning Internal Programs
The MicroVerb 4 comes with 100 Programs in a Preset bank, plus another 100 Programs in the User bank. These Programs represent the wide range of applications for which the MicroVerb 4 is suited. The difference between Preset and User Programs is that User Programs can be replaced with your own edits, but Preset Programs are permanently stored into memory.
To audition the internal effect Programs, turn the [VALUE] knob to scroll through the 100 Preset and 100 User Programs.

Adjusting Effects Mix Levels
Whether a Program contains a single effect or two or three effects, you can adjust the MicroVerb 4’s [MIX] control to obtain a desirable balance between the original, uneffected signal and each effect’s output. The [MIX] Knob controls the balance between the input signal and the effects generated by the MicroVerb 4.
When hooked up to an instrument setup, such as a guitar amp, the Mix setting will typically be somewhere in the middle, balancing the effects with the sound of the source instrument. If the MicroVerb 4 is connected to a mixing console’s Aux Send, the Mix control should be set all the way to the right (effects only) so that the balance can be controlled from the board.
