If “No Effect Board” Appears in the Display
This indicates there is no VS8F-2 installed. In this case,
you cannot use the internal effects. If the message
appears even when a VS8F-2 is installed, it indicates that
the effect board is not installed properly. Perform the
shutdown procedure and turn the power off as
described in “Turning Off the Power” (p. 32), and then
reinstall the VS8F-2 correctly.
