VS-880 Application Guide

There are many times that you may want to record a track ‘dry’, (without any effects), but you might want

to listen to effects during the recording. A typical example is listening to reverb on your guitar while you

are recording it, but not recording the reverb on the guitar track. By listening to the effects during

recording, you can begin to think about what you might use for effects during the mixdown. However,

since the track is ‘dry’ (no recorded effects), you will be able to wait until mixdown to make your final

effects decisions. The example uses the optional VS8F-1 Effect Expansion Board.

You will connect your guitar to the VS-880, select an effect to listen to, select a track to record to, and then

record the guitar ‘dry’ to the VS-880.
