Listening To A Guitar Using Internal Effects - Roland VS-880EX Application Manual

Listening To A Guitar Using Internal Effects

There may be occasions where you want to just audition different effects on your instrument without
actually recording anything. Maybe you just want to experiment with different reverb effects or change an
EQ. This example uses the VS-880EX's built-in effects.
You will setup the VS-880EX as though you are going to record the guitar with effects, however, you will
not actually press the record button to begin recording.
