Working with Effects Processors

We played with the Sony DSP-V77 multi-effect processor this afternoon and found some good and bad effects.

The first bad thing we found was that the EEPROM battery is running low (or maybe even dead). We couldn’t get the unit to start up at first. Fortunately, initializing the unit got us up and running again.

Factory Reset
1. Turn unit off
2. Hold down SYSTEM and ENTER buttons while powering on, until you see “Initialized” on the screen.

There were a couple presets that might be useful for the ghost voices in Urinetown.

Bank 1 #11 – Large Hall
Bank 1 #15 – 3D Catheral
User 1 #19
User 1 #1 – Magic Space

There was also a Darth Vader mode that might be useful for Christmas Carol.

The following pictures document how to change the apparent size of a reverb room simulation.

We also played with the Alesis MidiVerb (which has nasty digital sounding reverb tails). The following presets might be useful.

#68 – Vocal Plate
#96 – Med Hall
