Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the MicroVerb 4
10 MicroVerb 4 Reference Manual
Auditioning Internal Programs
The MicroVerb 4 comes with 100 Programs in a Preset bank, plus another 100
Programs in the User bank. These Programs represent the wide range of applications
for which the MicroVerb 4 is suited. The difference between Preset and User
Programs is that User Programs can be replaced with your own edits, but Preset
Programs are permanently stored into memory.
To audition the internal effect Programs, turn the [VALUE] knob to scroll through the
100 Preset and 100 User Programs.
Switching Between Preset and User Banks
To instantly switch between the Preset and User banks, press the [BANK] button.
Each time you press the [BANK] button, the MicroVerb 4 will toggle back and forth
between the Preset and User banks. The display will indicate this by showing a
program in the 00-99 (Preset) range or the 100-199 (User) range.
You can also switch between banks when scrolling through the Programs with the
[VALUE] knob. When you scroll clockwise past Preset 99, the display will “roll-over”
to User 100. Likewise, if you turn back the [VALUE] knob counterclockwise past
User100, the display will move to Preset 99. However, if you turn back the [VALUE]
knob counterclockwise past Preset 00, the display will not wrap around back to User
199 but instead will remain at Preset 00.
Adjusting Effects Mix Levels
Whether a Program contains a single effect or two or three effects, you can adjust the
MicroVerb 4’s [MIX] control to obtain a desirable balance between the original,
uneffected signal and each effect’s output. The [MIX] Knob controls the balance
between the input signal and the effects generated by the MicroVerb 4.
When hooked up to an instrument setup, such as a guitar amp, the Mix setting will
typically be somewhere in the middle, balancing the effects with the sound of the
source instrument. If the MicroVerb 4 is connected to a mixing console’s Aux Send,
the Mix control should be set all the way to the right (effects only) so that the balance
can be controlled from the board.
