All user reviews for the Behringer V-Amp 2

Preamp with multi purpose simulation hp numerical modeling.
it has two unbalanced line type, input TS for the guitar, a MIDI input, one MIDI output / thru, footswitch input and an entry (for mp3, CD, MD or other), the bare minimum for this kind of tool.

on the other hand, diet is through a special plug so if you fart or plug the transformer, you will not find the adapter that fits.
There is no switch to turn off the unit. (You must disconnect from mains)

And edit sound from the PC, you need a sheet noon on the PC or a converter midi / usb.

UTILIZATION

Usage is fairly simple, intuitive adjustment.
I would put a damper to regulate the presence because you have to press a button and turn a knob at the same time, not very practical.
And another flat for the limited effect of adjustment parameters.
For live use, there is a latency change with change of preset amp simulated.

SOUND QUALITY

On this point I was seriously bleuffé.
I purchased this product to play with headphones and make small models to present my components so considering the price, I would not expect great sound.
The sound of breathing simulation realism, I say that the simulations resemble the original but there are sensations resembling those of a real amp (grain, safe) as opposed to older generations preamps bordering on caricature amp simulation.

After several hours of play we feel that the momentum is not quite the sound and that is a bit muffled but hey there is more than enough quality to please the headphone or make high quality demos.

Effect level is correct but limited.
It is better to use an external processor.

Cons connected by a Poweramp, the sound seems unmanageable.
There are acute and severe invasive.

OVERALL OPINION

So for home use (headset, model) this device is almost perfect.
It provides a very wide range of sounds that can realistically cover almost all musical styles (funk, jazz, blues, rock, pop, metal)

For live use it is better to look at the competition.

Dja said, I do not dwell, you just take the time to configuration (normal ^ ^ what

UTILIZATION

It's a good prampli, and I draw the attention of some people who mprennent on the use of this object. IT IS NOT A MULTI EFFECT! It really is (in my opinion) for use in place of an amplifier and connect either a sound or a versatile amp neutral or without (almost) any correction and with this contraption rgler. I notice the APRS baptism of fire of the machine: a great live concert! And I do not understand those who find it a latent, normally we do not change REALLY amp during a song, I use a Pocket Metal Muff personally in order to provide between one kind of channel "lead." So I lay on several test amp, a Hughes and Ketner (if DSOL j'corche ^ ^) Matrix 100 and the sound was too acute nasal without bass ENFI short of crap: amp colors the sound of pramp
I then branches on a fender (frontman 100 I think) and there was a amlioration in its sound, however, still silent "voilquot; (and the guitar tech exd ^ ^) I Alos Get Connected on all con Roland (roland finally qd mm) with just a volume control and the rvlation: limpression I play on a Mesa Boogie (actually I've never know j jou top In any case the sound satisfy me), actually I do not require cot stuff: it is necessary that its rings, and sounded! rgler it must be like an amp, no pb program change . I therefore very favorable notice by saying that this beast can be adapted to live if you take the time.

SOUND QUALITY

Above, the effects j uses too

OVERALL OPINION

For those who want good sound and n have no dosh: it is a go for 79 in toto

Not too bad actually and bought secondhand 60 euros, it makes me proud of Services ...

UTILIZATION

Used to work songs, rehearsal set-up and pre-model, it does very good job ... For example, repeat the headphone with a virtually silent electronic drum (Roland Vdrums Session Set) and a bass simulator too, and frankly it all sounds pretty good ...

SOUND QUALITY

A calculator is designed to simulate, so is what I expected - a working tool and connected simply and effectively on quality plays, he is doing pretty well. I use very little
effects, this is not the best but enough for my needs.

OVERALL OPINION

Given the value for money, especially hand, it is a good product. It allows me to work comfortably anywhere.
I use it for 2 years, the device is reliable.

For use as mine, it's a good tool ...

The V-Amp 2 was Behringer's version of the infamous Line 6 POD. It has very similar features to the original POD, but it's not quite as versatile. Going through all the features would take awhile, so I'll just hit some of the highlights -- It features your typical inputs/outputs, MIDI, headphone jack and comes in a little carry case.

UTILIZATION

They didn't do too bad for a POD clone. You can make a decent rig out of this with the right power amp and cabinet. The MIDI also allows you to easily switch between various presets you have set up. The effects are average and not too programmable. The knobs feel alright, and the way the lights light up is a decent gimmick. However, I can't help but feel that this product is inferior to the POD. The way it feels and acts... It just seems to be lacking in features.

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds on this aren't bad. Cleans are pretty decent, the mid gains are kinda pathetic, the rhythm tones aren't too bad and the lead tones are actually good. If you're looking for a smooth sounding lead tone, this can actually do a pretty good job. The first Scar Symmetry album had Behringer V-Amp Pro leads, and this little device gets quite close to those. I just wish it had more programmable features.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for an alternative to the POD and don't feel like spending a lot of money, this device is worth looking into. The lead tones were surprisingly good, and the clean tones are pretty decent. Mid gain and rhythm tones are lacking, but the device is pretty cheap on the used market. Reliability is definitely a concern, however. Mine died for no reason, and I always take care of my gear. The device always felt cheap to begin with, but that's somewhat standard for most of Behringer's products.

This is a preamp designed by Behringer modeling .. With a wide range of amp, and cab 'to us .. And some effects (reverb etc.).
I will not beat around the bush .. It is really well designed for the price (99 euro new in 2006).


UTILIZATION

Use is frankly not at his best .. For 2 years I try to produce something worthwhile and I did not arrived .. Until I make the right idea to put my pedals in the v-amp2.Et there .. Fear! What sound! It took me a while to adjust when you want .. But its settings are saved and presto, no more funny business!


SOUND QUALITY

I'm frankly not a fan of some effect (echo.. Spelling?) And even less certain simulation 'of cab (I think the simulation' No. 12) .. But I think it's a good deal killer. I use both with a guitar with a bass and the record is still very bon.Je put 8 because it's still modeling.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years now ... Buy on a whim and I do not think I would do it again maybe not this choice (the Korg PX4D am very interested) .. For the price, Behringer offers us something correct.Je say that very same price, there is the Pocket POD .. But the V-AMP2 is light years away from the small red bean.

I approach a chapter just discussed, as multifx use midi (in tandem with a preamp ada).
I wanted to see if the quality is sufficient, it may act as a headphone amp, and especially if latency preset change there a.
My setup is as follows, guitar-ada-vamp-type headphones or stereo amp neutral or line6 spider4 entry.

The power plug of vamp is a disaster, paste it once and for all!

Fucking machine as well, with adjustable input, the diode orientation, global modes active for all presets without having to save.

Excellent so far.

UTILIZATION

Is intuitive, little chance of serious crash. Of course everything is rude, but that's good or gas plant apparently, a choice then.

Everything is included on the corny, so it washes, reverb and separate from the rest is very convenient.
Cheers diodes, why others do not like that is really the top of the interface!

My pedalboard noon to immediately worked nickel, as I know bugger all is a very good point eh! Here it is

SOUND QUALITY

gate not bad ... Beware, my basic sounds come from the ADA, the vamp is in charge of effects, amp quelquesorte interface.

Capital in my case, there is no bypass mode preamp latency when changing presets is like ada snapshot. Phew! As the vamp has a programmable noise gate that makes me worry less side ada ...

If I want to vamp sound like interface, leaving all the presets on the same model preamp (tube preamp in my case) there is no latency either.

Mode L (live) offers a comprehensive eq super convenient.

Now for the quality of the effects is not so hot, my old Yamaha FX550 multi of the stone age it is a paste not possible, and I speak only the sound coming out.
The vamp is dull, completely flat, small, it's terrible.
So forgetting the headphone, or troubleshooting.
Amp neutral on this is better (the vamp is then tube preamp mode over effects), not as obvious from the yam.
So the vamp is passable, but practical, and as long as I put a nice boost well it can go.

OVERALL OPINION

So mission completed, zero latency mode fx or stuck on the same preamp for all presets.
Not terrible sound through headphones is better than no option.
On normal amp is not bad for the house you cough a bit but as soon as it'll still play hard.

I think the gain amplifier 210 of the vamp version, there's no more practice with my preamp noon (zero PSU, my mini pedal noon that changes all of a sudden one!).

Hopefully the quality will be clearer, given the standing of the Vampire 210 (at the vamp pro). Finally, price or it's okaz I got nothing to lose ...

Therefore correct in my case.

Small analog multi-effect entirely made of plastic shaped after a Les Paul...
It produces most of the common effects: delay, distortion and amp simulations.
You can edit and save the effects. The connections are very simple: Guitar input, headphone output, aux input, L/R outputs, footswitch and Midi in/out.

UTILIZATION

The user's manual is ok but you won't need it to edit your sounds if you've already used similar effect units. The edition is somewhat tedious because it has only a 2-digit display, making it just as hard as on every other multieffect with such a display. After a while, you'll get used to it. However the LED rings around the controls are a very good idea...

SOUND QUALITY

Regarding sounds, and considering its price tag, I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary... But I never thought... Nothing is really believable.
It's not as bad with headphones, but don't expect to use it for recordings because it won't enhance your playing...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it a couple of years ago but it hasn't come out of its lovely bag that often. It was a second-hand impulse buy. Why didn't I stay in bed that day...?
Though, it can be helpful, for its price...

I regret ever buying it... Very unsuitable for rehearsal and concert, and it will certainly do no better in the studio. I recommend you to avoid it. It was ok when it came out, but now it's totally obsolete.
