Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the MicroVerb 4
8 MicroVerb 4 Reference Manual
¿ Before turning on the MicroVerb 4’s power, check the following items:
• Have all connections been made correctly?
• Are the volume controls of the amplifier or mixer turned down?
¡ Plug in the power adapter and insert the Power jack into the [POWER] input on
the rear panel of the MicroVerb 4.
Upon power-up, the display will briefly illuminate all front panel LEDs, display the
Software version, and then display the last selected Program Number (00–199 ).
¬ Turn on the power of the amplifier/mixer, and adjust the volume.
Setting Levels
Proper setting of the input and output levels is crucial in order to achieve the
maximum signal-to-noise ratio. As a good rule of thumb, it is always best to set both
input and output level controls at 3/4 or 75% of full. This will decrease the possibility
of overload distortion and keep the amount of background noise to a minimum.
If the Input Meters on the MicroVerb 4 begin to clip (go into the red), turn down the
Input level or decrease the volume of the source (instrument, mixer send, etc.). If the
MicroVerb 4’s level is causing the mixer or amp to distort, turn the Output Level
down.

The MicroVerb 4’s Front Panel contains the following:
¨ Input. The Input level control sets the level going into the MicroVerb 4. This
should be adjusted so that the input meters (÷) read approximately -6dBu (3 of
the 4 LEDs lit up). It controls both the Left and Right Input levels simultaneously.
¡ Mix. The Mix control adjusts the balance between the direct signal coming into
the input and the effects generated by the MicroVerb 4.
¬ Output. The Output level control sets the level going to the amplifier or mixer
from the MicroVerb 4.
÷ Level Meters. The Level meters display the signal level coming into the Input.
There are actually 2 meters, one for the left and right inputs, but both will light up
for a mono input.
ƒ LED Display. The LED display typically shows the currently selected Program. It
can also display the MicroVerb 4’s MIDI channel (when the MIDI button is held
down) or parameter values (when the [EDIT A] or [EDIT B] knobs are adjusted).
