a. Audio Connections
The connections between your Verb II and other audio devices have to be made
using high quality cables to prevent the bad performance. It is advisable to use
low-capacitance shielded cables with a flexible internal conductor. Connect the cables
to your Verb II properly following these tips:
4.1 AUDIO CONNECTIONS AND POWER UP
Do not bundle audio cables with AC power cords.
Do not place audio cables and your Verb II near sources of electromagnetic
interference such as transformers, monitors, computers, etc.
Donotplacecableswheretheycanbesteppedon.
Avoid twisting the cable or having it make sharp, right angle turns.
b. Power Up Setting
After making your connections, turn on the system's power using this procedure:
The volume controls of the amplifier or mixer must be turned down.
Insert the Power plug into the POWER input on the rear panel of your Verb II
and plug the power adapter into an AC outlet.
Turn on the power of your Verb II, pushing the ON/OFF button on the front panel.
Turn on the power of the amplifier/mixer, and adjust the volume.
4.2 ANALOG
a. Input Jack Wiring
The [LEFT] INPUT jack of your Verb II is also a mono input. If you only connect a
single mono cable to the [LEFT] INPUT jack, it will be also routed automatically to
the [RIGHT] INPUT. However, if you are using a stereo input signal. the LEFT INPUT
jack will feed only the LEFT INPUT, and the RIGHT INPUT jack will feed only the RIGHT
INPUT.

b. Level Setting
Proper setting of the input and output levels is crucial to get the maximum S/N ratio.
In general, you should set both input and output level controls at3/4 or 75% of full.

5. PRESET DESCRIPTION
Delay effect is a single echo repetition where the repetitions occur after a certain "delay
time" and where the number of repetitions depend on a "decay time", defining the time
necessary to decrease the amplitude of the repetition from the original sound level to
zero. This program provides a delay of up to 1000ms. The delay time can be adjusted
in terms of delay and the decay time depends automatically from the delay time. This is
a useful program which can add space and depth to vocals or instruments.
5.3 DELAY
Delay Parameters - This control sets the time between the input signal and the first
delay tap and the decay time.
5.4 Combined Effects
a. Delay+Reverb
b. Flanger+Reverb
c. Chorus+Reverb
The rotary speaker effect simulates the sound effect achieved by rotating horn
speakers and a bass cylinder, as first produced for organs. Leslie anybody? The
sound is altered by the Doppler effect, the directional characteristic of the speakers,
phase effects due to air turbulence, etc. The rotary speaker system is normally used
with organs, but can be used also for guitar amplification.
When using the Rotary program, the Mix potentiometer has be turned all
right on "WET" position.
NOTE:
Rotary Parameters Adjust Rate - This control sets the amplitude modulation rate.
