Advanced Operations (VF80EX)

The following explains how to record a guitar solo to track 1 and rerecord it while applying the guitar distortion. Before executing recording, you can check the guitar sound with the distortion effect while rehearsing the effect parameter settings until you satisfy with the sound.

We assume that the guitar is connected to the [INPUT A] connector and the VF80EX locates to the beginning of the program (ABS 0).
