Re: 1/2 Rack proccesor | VF-1
Adam thank you kindly for such a great review exactly
what i wanted!
yes thats what i read too bad the reverbs arent that
great...although for acoustic i just use a bit of
ambience,i suppose i could get a second one to put
after the loop for a bit of after reverb as well.I
just wish i could listen to a mp3,a sample or try one
if u have any of that please please send it to me!
other than that it sounds awesome!
thanx again mate
