An effect setting is referred to as a “patch.” The VS8F-2 provides over 240 preset patches and 200 user patches. Use the following procedure to select a preset patch.

*Patches using the Reverb, Gated Reverb, Vocoder 2, Voice Transformer or Mastering Tool Kit algorithms cannot be selected for FX2 and FX4. A horizontal line is drawn through the effect name in such cases. If you want to use these algorithms, select them from FX1 or FX 3:

If “No Effect Board” Appears in the Display

This indicates there is no VS8F-2 installed. In this case, you cannot use the internal effects. If the message appears even when a VS8F-2 is installed, it indicates that the effect board is not installed properly. Perform the shutdown procedure and turn the power off as described in “Turning Off the Power” (p. 32), and then reinstall the VS8F-2 correctly.
