Eight special EX Scenes automatically save changes as you go, perfect for building setups in rehearsals and addressing last-minute additions to the night’s setlist.
Using the Master section on the V-STAGE panel, you can easily shape your overall sound to suit the environment you’re playing in. Balance the entire output with a three-band EQ and variable midrange control. Then add tightness and punch with two sophisticated compressor options that let you tweak multiple internal parameters with a simple one-knob control.
