Your First Session with the NanoVerb– Chapter 1
NanoVerb Reference Manual 9
• Signal LED. The Signal LED displays the signal level coming into the Input.
During normal operation, this LED should turn green whenever there is signal
coming into the inputs. If the signal level is at the maximum, this LED will turn red
and you will begin to hear the signal distort.
± Program Select. The Program Select Knob is used to choose the program you
wish to use.
£ Adjust. Each program on the NanoVerb has one parameter which can be
adjusted. Depending on the type of program selected, this knob might alter
reverb decay, chorus depth, etc.
Auditioning Programs
The NanoVerb has 16 programs. These programs have been chosen to be the most
useful effects available for a large variety of music styles. To audition the internal
effect programs, turn the Program Select knob to scroll through each of the 16
presets.
Adjusting Effects Mix Levels
Whether a program contains a single effect or two or three effects, you can adjust the
NanoVerb’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 NanoVerb. By turning [MIX]
to the right allows you to hear more effects; turning it to the left lets you hear more of
the source signal.
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 NanoVerb 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. When the [MIX] control is turned all the way to the
left, you will only hear the direct signal (effects will be bypassed).
Editing Programs
Any of the internal programs on the NanoVerb may be editing using the [ADJUST]
knob. The function of this knob will change depending on the Program selected. For
example, it will adjust reverb decay on a Hall program and lezlie speed on the Rotary
program.
J
The Adjust knob is always active, so when you change to a new program it will
automatically read the Adjust knob setting.
Bypassing Effects
At any time you can bypass the effects, thereby allowing the direct signal to pass
through the NanoVerb unchanged. This can be done in two ways:
• by turning the MIX knob all the way to the left,
• by connecting a footswitch to the [BYPASS] jack and pressing the footswitch.
Each time the footswitch connected to the [BYPASS] jack is pressed, Bypass mode is
toggled on and off again. For more information about the Footswitch, see page 20.
