The VS-1680 comes with the optional VS8F-2 effect expansion board. Up to two
of these effect expansion boards can be installed in the VS-1680. With the VS8F-2
installed in the VS-1680, up to 4 high-quality stereo effects will be available for
your use.
This chapter explains how to use these internal effects.
* For instructions on how to install the VS8F-2, please read “Installing the Effect
Expansion Board” (Quick Start p. 57).
Composition of the Effects
Up to two VS8F-2s can be installed in the VS-1680; these are called EFFECT A
and EFFECT B.
Additionally, with two VS8F-2s installed, you can use two different effects at the
same time. Each of the effects in EFFECT A, EFX1 and EFX2, and the effects in
EFFECT B, EFX3 and EFX4, may be used, and you can select the effect to be
used in each channel.

Connecting the Effects
Changing the Source Sound Itself (Insert)
The effect is directly added either between each channel’s equalizer and fader or
before the master fader. Connect the effect in this way if you want to use effects
applied to change the output of the sound itself, such as when using distortion
or overdrive effects.
When inserting an effect into one of the channels or into the Master Block, that
effect cannot be used in send/return.
