Your First Session with the NanoVerb– Chapter 1
•Signal LED. The Signal LED displays the signal level coming into the Input. During normal operation, this LED should turn green whenever there is signal coming into the inputs. If the signal level is at the maximum, this LED will turn red and you will begin to hear the signal distort.
±Program Select . The Program Select Knob is used to choose the program you wish to use.
£Adjust. Each program on the NanoVerb has one parameter which can be adjusted. Depending on the type of program selected, this knob might alter reverb decay, chorus depth, etc.
Auditioning Programs
The NanoVerb has 16 programs. These programs have been chosen to be the most useful effects available for a large variety of music styles. To audition the internal effect programs, turn the Program Select knob to scroll through each of the 16 presets.
Adjusting Effects Mix Levels
Whether a program contains a single effect or two or three effects, you can adjust the NanoVerb’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 NanoVerb. By turning [MIX] to the right allows you to hear more effects; turning it to the left lets you hear more of the source signal.
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 NanoVerb 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. When the [MIX] control is turned all the way to the left, you will only hear the direct signal (effects will be bypassed).
Editing Programs
| Any of the internal programs on the NanoVerb may be editing using the [ADJUST] |
| knob. The function of this knob will change depending on the Program selected. For |
| example, it will adjust reverb decay on a Hall program and lezlie speed on the Rotary |
| program. |
J | The Adjust knob is always active, so when you change to a new program it will |
automatically read the Adjust knob setting. |
Bypassing Effects
At any time you can bypass the effects, thereby allowing the direct signal to pass through the NanoVerb unchanged. This can be done in two ways:
•by turning the MIX knob all the way to the left,
•by connecting a footswitch to the [BYPASS] jack and pressing the footswitch.
Each time the footswitch connected to the [BYPASS] jack is pressed, Bypass mode is toggled on and off again. For more information about the Footswitch, see page 20.
