Independent Left & Right Effects?

2015-01-05 by celab27@...

Hi all, I'm wondering if I can use the VF-1 for a 2-channel effects processor, ie have different effects on the left and right sides. Is this possible?


The VF-1 manual states on page 9 that it can do "2-in / 2-out"

Show quoted textHide quoted text

ie "The VF-1 supports stereo input and output. You can apply effects without impairing the stereo input image, or apply two independent effects in parallel. (p.13)"


On page 13 there's just a diagram of the rear panel and no useful info. I've read and searched the manual for "2-in / 2-out" and found nothing.


Does anyone know how to apply two independent effects? Now there's a chance I'm mis-reading this. Perhaps it's just about preserving the stereo image, and not about having two different effects on different inputs?


Your wisdom and experience would be greatly appreciated, thanks.


Cheers. :-)

Hey celab27,


unfortunately, you can't do two separate effects into two separate channels (that I know of anyway) it just allows you to keep the stereo inputs separated on the outputs - I used to use that function running two separate guitar amps and wanted the signals to remain separated from one another, so, amp 1 on the left would go into the left input, and have the output go out via the left output. it would still run the stereo delay as a panning/Ping-Pong delay, bouncing left/right, but keeping the signals pure on each amp.


hope that answers your question!

Hi Duke,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was afraid that was going to be the case. Still, I'm going to buy one, cause I think the effects will be fun to play with even for a single channel.

Kindly,

Hi,

Some of the effects can apply different parameters for the left and right channel (eg stereo delay). So it should be possible to create some different sound on left and right channel, even if you use a mono source.
