Soloist:
Does anyone still have one of these? Any settings you could share would be greatly appreciated! Just picked one up, and finding it tricky to make patches. Any help is welcomed.

rnolan:
Had mine for 30(ish) years, great fx and easy to use. my suggestion is dial up a decent stereo delay e.g. 250ms L and 300 R a little regeneration (I open high pass filter) and a little reverb (same idea keep it open, turn high pass/low pass filters off) MIX that in in stereo.

Soloist:
I will give it a try today. I am surprised at all the parameter settings for the reverb a little intimidating at first. Do you have any favorite settings to share? (Chorus/flange/phase). I am trying for a clean chorusy  Queensryche type tone i.e. lady wore black.

rnolan:
The QV provided more reverb parameters than most units (particularly in it's day (similar to the studio reverbs of the time)), have you read the manual ? it's a great (and I highly recommend) primer for understanding time base effects, and particularly the reverb. But you don't have to play around with every variable, I've never tried the factory patches (and had it for 25 ish years LOL) but I suspect some of those are a good start to then tweak to what you want (or not). There was one big(ish) delay patch I ran up for my MP1, I think I had a little flange as well ? Otherwise I tend to do the controlled stereo delay and a little (room I think) reverb. Apart from the delay/rev times, the main change I made was to turn off low/high pass filters as I wanted the full signal.
For chorus I always used MP1/2.
It's in my live rack, and it dropped its programs a while ago, I thought it was memory battery, tech says battery is still good (never been changed BTW). But if I find any of my old patches (IIRC I had a flange patch for White Wedding back in the covers day) I'll post them.
Thing with QV is don't be daunted by it, yes you can adjust a gazillion parameters (if you want/need to), but the basics are there also e.g. delay type, time, feedback; reverb type, time, pre-delay, just adjust them to the speed of the music (convert beats per minute to miliseconds) or just go with what sounds good.

That would be awesome. I did read the manual(thick ass novel) it does explain a lot but not everything. I do use the chorus on the MP1 but when I am using the JMP I want to use the QV chorus
