Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Pretty Quiet is right. Wow. There's like 10 days go by regularly and no
activity.

In one way, there's not to talk about when the VF-1 works right. I started
out using mine for guitar and bass but ended up using it as my effects for
my Roland VS-1880 because at least this way I can save the patches and find
them a lot easier than on the internal boards (I forget their model #) in
the VS recorders. The only thing that bugs me is that while it has a digital
out that I use, there's no digital in. Hmph...

I'll tell you this much, I'm still not impressed with any Roland
implementation of a rotary speaker. The best I've ever found is the POD.
Winds up and down perfectly and has just the right amount of volume cut on
the tremolo. I've tried and tried on the VF-1, GR-33 and VG-88 but they all
sound phoney to me.  One hint though for those who have been trying or wish
to play.. always keep the low speaker frequency at half the frequency of the
high frequency speaker. Ever seen a Leslie? 2 horns on top 180 degrees apart
and one speaker on the bottom. That gives it a very distinctive sound.

Well enough babble.

Steve

I use the VF-1 as an effects unit most of the time hooked up in the
send/returns of my mixer.
The reverbs are not ther best around but very usuable, I quite like the vf
for its versatility, I use all the algorythms for my synths, even the guitar
ones.

I first bought the vf also for guitar but that is not the way I use it
anymore (I have a roland gp-100 and a Behringer V-amp pro for that, much
better.

I remember I only  had a roland jv - 880 synth and connected the VF-1
directly to it, very very big improvement on that old Roland.
Now I also use it for  a Korg ms 2000, a Virus A, a Waldorf Microwave I and
my Roland s750 sampler, for almost everything also.

I used a very heavy distortion from a tweaked guitar algo on the first part
of "Stupid" downloadable on http://ppi.iuma.com, the drums in the clean part
of that "music" are the same but no distortion applied (hahaha).

Thats the most audible vf-1 effect on a song/musicpiece there.

I also like the VF for its in/output meters, very nice, even a crappy synth
will start another life with this little machine.

And this VF-1 group is one of the quitests groups around here, all happy
users ?
