FX in the Micro BR's Algorithm - Is More than one effect possible?

Is I possible to chain more than one Effect in the FX Parameter of the Micro Br's Algorithm?  For example, I would like to create a User Patch effect using the Compressor and Chorus.  Can I add Reverb also and save this in the User Patch?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The Reverb effect is independent from all others, it can only be applied to tracks themselves and can't be controlled on the User Patches Bank although you can control it universally for a given song by pressing Effects x 2. But notice that you can also play with reverb real-time by pressing INPUT and then changing the RV: parameter.

To my knowledge it's not possible to add new Effects Parameters to the different Effects Processor (COSM Guitar, Mastering Tool Kit, Vocal Multi-effects).

Hope I helped on something.

Thank you for researching the possibilities and for your reply. Your answer was a great help. I am going to apply the reverb in real time like you suggested or apply it directly from my amp. I am soon going to post a tone or two at Joel's tone bank at:

You can't create a new patch using both the Compressor and Chorus from the FX effect. Only one FX effect can be used per patch.

However, there is a way to apply more than one FX effect to a track. You could record the track with just the FX Compressor, then change the Insert Point to that track (see pages 64-65) and bounce it to another track with the FX Chorus selected. The resulting track will have both the FX Compressor and FX Chorus applied to it. You could continue bouncing this track in the same way to add additional FX effects... Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo and Pan.

This may not be the answer you were hoping for but it's something to consider for those times when you really want to use more than one FX effect on a track.

Indeed, and I would bet it would sound basically the same as if it was recorded real-time with both effects On.

I would like to thank both Admin and 64Guitars for their input.  I was hoping to do this in real time, as I use the BR as a portable effects processor for my band rehearsals, but I can make good use of the ideas presented for recording.  Again....Thanks for the input!!

Micro BR like others recent DSP (Zoom,Korg...) has two different processors thats works together: one does reverbs and other does everything else.
