Joey Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I was given an alesis midiverb 2 and I have no clue how to connect it to my amp.... I tried plugging a cable into the defeat jack in the back of the unit and then connecting that to my preamp out jack of my amp... nothing happened. Then tried it through the effects loop w/no luck.. Please help!! What am I missing? There are L and R input and output jacks and also midi jacks too.. so what do I to?? I really need a quick response, b/c the music shop near me closes soon and I wanna get there tonight if I can to pick up what I need. Thanks. Edit: the title should say not sure "how" to set it up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 through the effects loop...rack unit "out" (or send) to effects loop "in" (or return) rack unit "in" (or return) to effects loop "out"(or send) and if your effects loop has a level,don't forget to turn it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 also, if its a mono effects loop remember to set the unit to mono or use the correct "side" of the unit (it will tell you about this in the insruction book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Thanks, Ill try that... But I didnt get the manual for it... I was just given the bare unit with nothing else. Thanks again. Also, there are L and R in's and L and R outs... but just 2 jacks for the effects loop obviously... so does it matter if I just do L in and L out? Or is what I am saying incomprehensible!?!?!?!

Joey Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Well crap... I tried all the different combinations of the inputs and all I get is ALOT of buzzing and almost negligible sound. It might just be a bad unit.. So I dunno whats going on. Oh well, any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Midiverb Manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Thanks lovekraft.. That link was to a midiverb 4 manual, but I had already looked at the midiverb 2 manual online and I did what it said to no avail. I'm plugging my guitar into the L input jack, and plugging the amp into the unit's L output jack. Nothing happens but some buzz and VERY little dry sound through the amp. Then I tried it in all possible combinations through the effects loop and nothing worked. Im beginning to think its broken, since it is pretty old.. I might take it to a music shop and see if they can get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 not sure really, but would it make a difference if you plugged your guitar into the amp instead of right into the unit? then went amp effects loop out > rack > amp effects loop in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 yes it is supposed to be plugged into the regular amp input to work through the effects loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Oh I tried that yeah... I had plugged it (guitar) into the amp and then the rest through the loop jacks.... believe me ive tried everything I can think of. The online manual said to actually plug the instrument into the midiverb... so I tried that with the same results ive been getting. Does anyone else have this unit? I mean.. its really pissing me off! I have a huge 24 channel peavey mixer coming to me soon, so maybe when that gets here Ill try to hook it up through that.
