Title: Re: VF-1 Re: Multi-Tap Delay: any smart idea ?

Push the rotary select knob mutes/unmutes the FX. You can set it up in the menus if this mutes totally or just passes direct sound.

I did buy a nice cheap Rolls MidiBuddy to control the VF-1, and maybe someday I will have time to figure it out, but I feel I should have the option of just bypassing the lil' red box with the press of an easily-accessed button. Guess it's my stompbox background ;-)

I bought my last one just about a year ago for GBP 189 (about 300 Euro) from Turnkey  <http://www.turnkey.co.uk> There may be other pan Euopean sellers such as Thomann in Germany. If there are any still around you’d get a bargain now.
