Still wanting to get a VF-1

2001-08-14 by Joris van den Heuvel

Hi everybody,
Since I've been having a very hard time to find any info whatsoever on the VF-1, especially the manual, I want to ask a few questions about it:
  • WHY, oh why, is there nothing on the Net about this unit?????????? It's not as if it's new (released Oct '99 IIRC), and it's not as if it's crap (read about 15 very positive reviews). Why doesn't Roland/Boss supply info on their products? Any of them!
So much for my rant, now for some real questions:
  • Does it simulate the full line of Boss compact pedals? All 30 or so (bass included), and do they use the same controls, or are they more detailed?
  • What bass amp models are there?
  • How many types of distortion does it have?
  • Is it possible to use an effect more than once in a chain? Can you put effects in parallel (as in a side chain)?
  • If you could spare the time it takes, could I have a list of all effects?
  • How do these algorythm thingies work? I'm not familiar with this.
Well that's about it. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer some of the questions.
Joris.
