Advanced Operations
The following explains how to record a guitar solo to track 1 and rerecord it while applying the
guitar distortion. Before executing recording, you can check the guitar sound with the distortion
effect while rehearsing the effect parameter settings until you satisfy with the sound.
We assume that the guitar is connected to the [INPUT A] connector and the VF80 locates to the
beginning of the program (ABS 0).

You can check the guitar sound with an effect be-
fore recording.

tortion.
Press the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key for

Only the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key for track 1

Raise the track 1 fader and [MASTER] fader to
the "0" position.
If these faders are not raised, you cannot monitor the
sound.
Press the [RECORD] key.
Track 1 is switched to "Input monitor".
Adjust the gain appropriately using the [TRIM]
control for [INPUT A] while playing the guitar.
You can monitor the guitar sound by raising the

Press the [EFFECT] key repeatedly until the ef-
fect type selection screen appears.
When you press the [EFFECT] key for the first time
after turning on the power, "L01:Norm HALL" is shown

Rehearsal
Use the [JOG] dial to select "L39: Gtr Dist" and
press the [ENTER/YES] key.
"Insert Effect Selected!" is momentarily shown on the

Meanwhile, the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] keys for

Press the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key for

Only the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key for track 1

Adjust parameters while playing the guitar to get
the desired sound.
You can select a desired parameter using the [CUR-
SOR] / keys and change the value using the [JOG]
dial.
Before editing parameters, you can monitor the sound
with the default parameter settings.
The monitor sound changes in realtime when chang-
ing a parameter.
See the next page for details about the parameters for
"L39: Gtr Dist".
<Caution!>
Do not raise the headphones volume too loud while
monitoring the sound, which may damage your ears.
