Re: [BossVF1] Why does my VF-1 sound harsh and unnatural?

2003-04-04 by Sjaak de Vos

I noticed, long time ago, my VF-1 has a problem with the Hi-z guitar Input.

When connected, this Hi-z input should "block out" the (left or right) input
at the back of the VF-1.

Sometimes the Hi-z input keeps on blocking out (or at least disturbing) the
backside input when it's not supposed to do that.
I mean the Hi-z keeps thinking there is a guitar jack connected.

This totally disturbs the VF's sound.
So if youre VF-1 sounds terrible also try connecting and disconnecting the
Hi-z input a few times.
That does the job for my VF, I can see both the left and right channel
levels on the (mixer VU) meters are oke after this "repairjob".
