Tips and tricks for working
with layers and effects
As we discussed in “Design concepts” and
“Footswitches overview” , VoiceLive 3 is com-
prised of three “Layers”: Vocal, Guitar and Loop-
er.
Tapping the Layer button will give you access to
the layer you would like to control: Guitar or Vo-
cal. Press and hold the Layer button to access
the Looper.
Keep in mind that as we discuss editing Vocal
or Guitar effects,
the editing process is inde-
pendent of the layer you are currently con-
trolling
.
Put another way: You can have the Vocal layer
active (blue LEDs will show that you can use
footswitch to control the vocal effects), but sim-
ply press the Guitar button (the blue one on the
top panel) to enter and edit the Guitar effects.

As there are no effects linked to the Looper lay-
er, we will cover Looper operations in a separate
section of this manual.
General Vocal & Guitar layer usage
The basic concepts of accessing effect settings
and going from simple to advanced editing are
explained in “Editing an Effect”.
In addition to the effects tabs in the Vocal and
Guitar edit screens, you will find the Buttonmap,
Expression and Preset tabs.
