Proper setting of the input and output levels is crucial in order to achieve the
maximum signal-to-noise ratio. It is possible to say that it is usually best to set
both input and output level controls at 3/4 or 75% of full. This will decrease the
possibility of overload distortion and keep the amount of background noise to a
minimum. If the signal LED on the
Verb start lighting, signalling a process sa-
turation, turn down the Input level or decrease the volume of the source (instru-
ment, mixer send, etc.). If the
Verb's level is causing the mixer or amp to distort,
turn the Output Level down.
Whether a program contains a single effect or two or three effects, you can ad-
just the
Verb's [MIX] control to obtain a desirable balance between the original
signal and the effect one. Turning [MIX] to the right allows you to hear more Ef-
fects; 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
Verb 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.
At any time you can bypass the process, there by allowing the direct signal to
pass through the
Verb 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.
On the back panel you will find a footswitch jack labelled [BYPASS]. This is a
mono
connections for
footswitch. The footswitch must be
jack with
a standard
plugged in before the
Verb has its power turned on:
Verb will automatically
recognise the right "polarity" of the pedal.
The
Verb may be placed almost anywhere: on a table, on top of an amp, next
to a mixing console. If it will be on furniture, check the rubber feet provided to
the bottom of the unit. Make sure to place the
Verb's power supply away from
other audio equipment that may induce fields, and away from the signal wiring.
It is possible that
Verb may pick up noise fields generated by other equipment
such as large power amplifiers; in this case, move the
Verb until the noise
goes away.
