Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Glad I'm not the only one with this hair pulling issue. I thought something was seriously wrong with my unit - and I was about to resort to checking if there was some kind of solder joint issue in the inputs..but it just seemed so regular.

It should work L/R input for full stereo processing.
