INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE QUADRAVERB PLUS Please refer to the
Quadraverb manual for details of how to send data from the
Quadraverb to another device (your computer). I suggest that you
reinitialise the Quadraverb Plus (only after saving to the computer
any non factory program patches that might be required later) as
follows: With power connected and the unit switched off, press and
hold both the PROGRAM and BYPASS buttons, then switch on the unit
while holding the buttons in. When you see BASIC PROGRAM on the
screen, release both buttons. When you scroll through the programs,
BASIC PROGRAM will disappear, never to be seen again, and all the
original factory programs should be present. Note that programs
from 90 or 91 to 99 are blanks so this is normal as from the
factory. Press MIDI and go through the pages with the page up or
down buttons until you see the channel number setting. Set this to
OMNI, if available (should be seen after 16), with the value up or
down buttons, otherwise leave on channel 1. Press PROGRAM to return
to normal display. Then you must enable sysex exclusive receive.
Press MIDI, go through the pages until you see SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
RECEIVE: OFF (or something similar) and using the up or down value
buttons set to ON. Press PROGRAM to return to normal display. Data
cannot be transferred to the unit unless you enable system
exclusive receive. After the receiving of data (my programs) is
confirmed you can turn it off again if you want. After that you
should connect the MIDI out cable to MIDI in of the unit. Import my
data file into the sysex program on your computer, then send that
data to the unit. This should take a few seconds to do. Hopefully
that is all there should be to it.

Welcome to your newly programmed Quadraverb Plus You now have at
your disposal 91 pre-programmed sounds, many of which originated
from famous old echo units now virtually unobtainable. Some of the
programs are based on the echo units that were used on many of The
Shadows hits. Included are other desirable echo sounds and effects.
A list is enclosed for easy reference. In many cases a similar echo
sound was used on several recordings, so some of the programs will
be used with more than one tune. The list of hits is for guidance,
and based on our research and listening tests, but you are also
encouraged to experiment by playing/matching any given echo sound
with the chosen piece. You may occasionally find personal
preferences that are different to the programs suggested. TO SET UP
THE SYSTEM: Connect guitar to R input, connect R output to amp
input. If your amp has a well designed series effects loop you may
obtain better performance by connecting the guitar to the amp input
and connecting the R input and output jacks to the effects loop.
Ensure that the PROG button is lit after switching on, if not,
press the PROG button. Set the level of the Quadraverb so that the
first green LED will light and the third only when playing hard
chords. Set the output level to send the desired level to the amp.
TO CHANGE PROGRAMS: Use the up or down value buttons, or hold the
PROG button in, press the numbered buttons corresponding to the
program number required, then release the PROG button. Use the
BYPASS button to toggle effect on/off. PRECAUTIONS: Never press the
STORE button without understanding its use. If you press it
accidentally, press the PROG button. Programs could be lost if you
do not use the STORE button correctly. Because the unit has many
user features and possible adjustments you must fully understand
ANY operation you intend to carry out, as some operating sequences
will permanently alter programs or even remove them from the units
memory. Note that Echoes From The Past programs are not factory
programs, therefore never carry out any operation that attempts to
restore factory programs. For more advanced operations you should
consult the Alesis manual. We will normally reprogram your unit
free of charge provided that your unit was properly registered by
us in your name. Under normal circumstances you will only be
expected to pay for any replacement battery required and any
shipping costs involved. In case of difficulty contact Charlie Hall
