Behringer Bass V-Amp
Published on 11/21/09 at 15:00I have played in Jazz, Blues and Rock bands for the past 20 years (with a stint in a brass band before that).
I am currently playing an Epiphone Limited edition Custom SG through a fairly straight Jade amplifier.
Whilst I like distortion as much as the next person, I think the true test of and amp and effects unit is proven in the clean sounds.
I stumbled across the Bass V Amp almost by accident when my brother was given it to use with his keyboard. I tried it once and knew that I needed one. I found several retail prices around for A$180, but with a small amount of investigation I found one for A$140.

I bought this unit because my Digitec GNX2 was just too fiddly and it is so effects driven compared to the V Amp which has a better balance of Effects v's Amps
I love the ease of use. The 25 banks of 125 preset sounds are so usable whilst a simple change of the amps can make an unbelievable difference.
The 32 amp modeling settings offer the best I have experienced. The way you play your guitar directly impacts the output of the amp - This hands so much control back to the guitarist's skill.
This is a VERY LOW NOISE Unit. I have read other reviews where people claim that the V Amp is noisy. There are so many ways with this unit to avoid noise - My advice to anyone who finds this unit noisy would be to check their leads and guitar and amp connections. It will NOT be the V Amp.
I love that a unit can be created for multiple instruments and be so good for all of them.
The LED lights on the dials are so helpful. When you dial between presets you can see how the sound will perform before you even play your first note - No screaming accidents when a quiet entry is needed.
Midi functions and add on foot controllers offer flexibility.
The user guide is a waste of time - If you have any questions, get straight onto Behringer support. They are great!
Having to depress the 'shift button' to dial the 2nd bank of amps means that you can't shift easily in performance. I guess you can always preset it if you know what you want in advance.
I think it is really well made.
I do concede that it is made of plastic but the product is strong and is packaged in the padded gig bag, plus that makes it nice and light. If you are like me, you will appreciate the low weight.
I think the design is really clever, I read another review and do not agree with the claim that it is 'hard to plug in'
What a great unit! It is well made, well package and well thought out.
This unit offers me the ability to do so much. I love the Ultrabass effect. To be able to sound like George Benson with such a beautiful octave effect is great.
There is one problem - This has prevented me from buying a new half stack and a board full of single effects pedals. With 32 true amp sounds and 16 effects offering hundreds of usable combinations at my finger tips I will be saving my money. Great Job Behringer!

UTILIZATION

For cons to return more inside of it must be preset editor software that is very well done: All parameters are at hand.
the manual is very thin at the same time it allows a very fast grip the rest comes by grinding machine and the editor.
In fact we need to understand the internal architecture: wha + preamp + hp + fx simultaneous denoiser + + + distortion pedal simultaneously comp.
SOUND QUALITY
In terms of simulation nothing to say it works very well whether it be bass, acoustic guitars, electric. It sounds very good.
the only complaint would be the level that drives the reverb sounds a bit far wrong that said this is a defect found on many other devices and chorus that are thin, but I'm picky. ..
there are plenty of preset effect on the funny as hell.
OVERALL OPINION
I for 1 month.
It is really convenient and good quality (sound) if it had made an effort on the connector.
I had a gx-700 just before going into oblivion!
Nevertheless I will change it spoke pro version order to benefit from the Integrating the power supply and digital output, even a losing transportabilit ....

SOUND QUALITY
The effects are effective! notammament the distos which I find quite striking in existing presets. sr good is not worth a certain ddies pedals, but I think each game is also essential to sound his guitar. As for the bass again I find myself aisment simulation Trace elliot amps or amp used by Motown (see James Jamerson!) Are really close to what I tried in rel. But I use an Ibanez 5 string bass with many default Ibanez electric guitar and an imitation strato rather old. I tried to make it acoustic and I russi from banks 22 and 15 find a sound that suits me, without much galer sr a Martin acoustic or other in his formidable. I have 3 preset affect the simulated speaker and amp simulation with a white panel and the reverb lgre done!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 15 days and that's really what I expected from this machine. prampli one to attack my desk mix Yamaha MG 12 / 4 and a valid prampli to get my guitar as electric without changing instruments during certain sets. Report qualitprix "incredible!" I would add that Alphonso Johnson presets are ideal for me that I play. I even tried my keyboard with Studiologic NS5R expander Korg keyboards and sounds for it's great to give a nice color to the sound. Sr Although if I had more resources I would take a POD but for the price and quality in the same situation I would do this choice.See less20 - Jpr33Published on 08/11/09 at 06:36 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Already stated
