Ok..I have and use one of these devices for several years and yes they do go bonkers sometimes when powering up due to enternal soldered in place battery failure. When this happens, hold down (-) and (5) button simultaneously to reset factory presets and flip on power while holding these down, then release. It will default to "0", then you got 01-99 presets to choose from. My choices are 23 (regular steel sound W/some delay & reverb)), 60 & 61 (funky), 71( good delay w/reverb), 72(best delay w/reverb) and 95&98 for alot of reverb/hall effect. I stick to 23 & 72 for best steel sound. You can tune dry & wet to your ear taste plus other combinations. Other than the battery failure, this Peavey creature is tough and sounds better than my Boss rv3. Also you will have trouble saving your programed presets in the adverbII because you will lose these when you boot up from this battery failure problem. To get by this is to always keep it plugged into AC current so to prevent memory failure. Or always remember to write down your programed in presets before powering down.
