VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P

If your mixing console has aux busses that feature one jack for the aux send, use audio channel 1 on the DSP2024P. In this case, you must choose the mono mode (see chapter 3.6.2).

To avoid damage to your equipment, turn down the volume level on your amplifier when making connections. Switch off the devices that you want to connect to one another until plug connections have been completed as described.

Let’s assume you want to operate the DSP2024P in a live situation in connection with a mixing console, and use a chorus to enhance the guitar sound.

Connect the VIRTUALIZER PRO to the aux busses of your mixing console (fig. 4.1). Make the mains connection and set the operating level if necessary. Switch on the unit. In SETUP mode (output), select “EXTN” to ensure that the Mix External mode is activated. Press the EFFECT key and use the JOG WHEEL to select the stereo chorus effect (no. 16). Turn up the aux busses slowly till you have mixed the desired effect with the guitar signal. After this, you can start fine tuning. You will probably want to specify the chorus’ modulation. Turn the 1st EDIT CONTROL to determine the speed of the modulation. To adjust the modulation depth, turn the 2nd EDIT CONTROL. Proceed further following this principle. If you want the 1st EDIT CONTROL to change EDIT E, you must first press the EDIT key. After all the parameters have been changed as you wish, you can store the modifications in the original (or a different) preset.

4.3 Using the VIRTUALIZER PRO in the insert path

Generally, you can use the DSP2024P on channel or subgroup inserts, using a standard insert cable. Connection to a channel insert makes sense when you want to process very specific signals (e.g. vocals) with the VIRTUALIZER PRO, or when all other options for connecting the DSP2024P are already used by other units. For compressors, expanders and gates, the channel insert is the best choice.
