To browse presets, press the footswitches with
the up and down arrows on the far left.
Note which presets you enjoy the most – you can
use them as a starting point for creating your
own presets later.
VoiceLive 3 for acoustic
guitar players
VoiceLive 3 comes with pristine reverbs, mod-
ulation effects, EQs and delays to make your
acoustic guitar sound better than it ever has.
However, you may not want heavy overdrive or
radical flanging applied to the output of your
handmade masterpiece…
If you have a nice effects setup for your acous-
tic guitar that you want to use for all your songs,
press SETUP, go to the SYSTEM tab and set ALL
GUITAR FX GLOBAL to ON. This will “lock” the
guitar effects so they won’t change when you
switch presets.
Let’s make it a HIT!
When you are checking out presets, be sure to
press the HIT button.
HIT allows you to add (or remove) multiple ef-
fects for both your vocals and/or guitar with a
single button press. It can be used as a flex-
ible “A/B” feature for two variations of a preset,
or as a “turbo”. E.g., HIT allows you to bring in
Harmony at just the right time, or you can use it
to turn off the Delay and activate the Vocoder in
the bridge of a song. Be adventurous – HIT re-
ally brings out new and interesting facets of the
presets.
Editing HIT settings is covered in the reference
manual.
