Effect Patches

A VS-1824 with one or two of the optional VS8F-2 effect boards installed will have 200 user patches, which are the same as the first 200 preset patches. It is possible to overwrite the user patches to store your own custom effects. To create your own user patch, first select the preset patch whose sound is closest to what you wish to create. Then alter the settings of that patch. If you do not save the changes as a user preset effect, your edits are lost once you select another patch or recall a different Scene.

Create a User Effect Patch

1.Using the first six steps described in “Selecting Effect Patches” (p. 101), select the patch containing the effect algorithms you will base your new effect on. The following screen is displayed:

[F1 (← Blk)]:

Displays the settings of the previous effect block.

[F2 (Blk → )]:

Displays the settings of the next effect block.

[F4 (SAVE)]:

Displays the Effect Save screen.

[F6 (EXIT)]:

Exits the screen.

Patch Number Patch Name This Block is On

Algorithm Name Cursor This Block is Off

2.Press [ ] and [ ] to move the cursor in the screen. When you select a multi-effect patch (e.g., Guitar Multi 2), use the TIME/VALUE dial to turn each effect within that patch on or off. In the display, effect blocks that are currently activated and on are highlighted. Move the cursor to the highlighted effect block whose settings you wish to change.

3.Press [F3 (Edit)] or press [ENTER/YES]. A list of settings available in the effect block is displayed.

4.Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor in the screen. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to adjust settings. For more detailed information about the settings included in each effect algorithm, refer to the “Algorithm List” (Appendices p. 25).

5.When saving an effect settings, it is necessary to either save it as a user patch, or save the mixer settings as a Scene. If you want to use a custom effect in a different song, save it as a user patch. If you are only going to use it in the currently selected song, you can save it as part of a mixer Scene. At this point, save the effect using one of the two methods described below.

Save an Effect as a User Patch

1.Press [F4 (SAVE)]. The Effect Name screen appears in the display.

2.Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the destination patch number (U000-U199).

Patch Number Patch Name

3.Use [ ] and [ ], and the TIME/VALUE dial to create the name of the user patch. The function buttons work as shown:

[F1 (Hist)]:

Press this button to take you through a list of the last 20 user patch names entered, one at a time.
