About the Effect Expansion Board

The VS-880EX contains effect. This allows you to use up to two stereo effects
(FX1 and FX2) simultaneously.

Connecting Effects

On the VS-880EX, there are two ways to connect the effects devices. Please read
and understand these differences described below.
Insert:
The effect is directly added either between each channel's equalizer and fader or
before the master fader. Connect the effect in this manner if you want to use
effects applied to change the output of the sound itself, such as when using dis-
tortion or overdrive effects.
When inserting an effect into one of the channels or into the Master Block, that
effect cannot be used in another channel. For example, you insert FX1 into
Channel 1, then no other channel can access FX1.
Send/Return:
Besides the RECORDING bus and the MIX bus, the output of each channel can
also be sent to the EFFECT bus. Use this routing with effects such as reverb and
delay, when you want to mix the sound without effects and the sound after
effects have been applied.
