All user reviews for the Behringer V-Amp Pro

material rather because it proposes a full range of its very broad. the connection is complete, lacking nothing. but then what does that sounds wrong! I tried it in the effects loop of my Hughes & Ketner attax and the result is far below my Tonelab!

UTILIZATION

configuration not obvious compared to my ToneLab SE. the manual was given to me but it is downloadable.

SOUND QUALITY

Go your way. It's cheap but it's ugly!

OVERALL OPINION

I do not like the sound that comes out of this material! I do not use it at once!

Purchased from the "Guitar, Amp and Keyboard Centre" Located in Brighton, UK.
Paid £120

For the price, it's a good unit.

I have played guitar for many years, with many artists covering many styles and genre.
I wanted a versatile pre-amp with a wide range of usable tones.
32 Amp models
15 Speaker configurations
Including DSP Chorus,Flange,Rotary,Auto-Wah,Echo,delay,Compressor ect...

The debate regaring amp simulations continues, however take a small piece of advice. Don't view these simulations as the real thing, just high quality usable tones, providing a greater palette from which to draw.
Somewhere within this small metal case IS a tone for most, if not all guitarists. Controls are easy to use, and from the box it is simple to operate. The amp responds well to attack and picking dynamics. Software available from the V-Amp web site provides a simple, yet effective library and editing suite.
Adding the FCB1010 foot controller (£100)increases the flexability of the unit ready for live work.




Some of the pre-sets are not going to suit everybody, however tweak a few knobs and that is soon changed.( minor flaw, still you can't please everbody )!.


Solid sound construction.
Tones are usable and control over these is adjustable.
The DSP is not bad at all 24bit quality.
Connectivity is extensive

The continued saga of transitors verses valves continues, however while the opinions battle it out,the divide draws closer.
So how do the simulations measure up ?
Could you identify, from an anonamious recording, a "Cranked up " Budda Twinmaster or an Engle savage 120.

As approximations go not bad ! Bear in mind that " Tone Lies In The Ear Of The Beholder" !!!!!!
One thing is certain, this unit provides a wide range of tones and is usable for both recording and live work. Providing high end tone.
When recording many a studio engineer has been known to raise a smile as the familiar blue( or red ) pre-amp emerges from the depths of a guitarist gig bag.

Good Unit at a much lower price point than it's main rivals.

Check one out, you may be converted.
I've even taken mine gigging !

I searched all around for the best price on this unit.. $200 was the average low price.. then I found BPM Music online and they offered the V-Amp Pro at a considerably lower price with free shipping.. I got this rack mounted guitar effects/amp modeler very promptly and fell in love with it right away.. as an experienced guitarist and songwriter I knew what I wanted but didn't have a lot of money to spend on a Line 6 or TC Electronic rack mount guitar effects processor.. Behringer impressed me before with their prices and quality and they made a true believer out of me with this unit.

What I like most about this unit is it sounds great right away and it doesn't take long to get the hang of editing and storing your own sounds.. the amp/cabinet modeling portion of this unit is perfect for my application of direct recording.. you get all kinds of great amp head and speaker cabinet combinations offered right out of the box and you can edit and save your own combos too.. the effects section offers most of the sounds I'm looking for.. they are high quality sounds that you wouldn't expect from a unit in this price range.. the back panel has all kinds of connections for every use you can think of including the digital domain.. I haven't tried it out in a live stage situation yet but I have a feeling it will perform very well with my old Mesa Boogie Mark II.

I haven't really found anything I don't like about this unit yet.. I could dig having one or two other effects like a pitch transposer or a doubler but the effects I do have are excellent and for the price I cannot complain.

This unit is constructed very well.. they use the word 'Pro' in it's name and that's what it is: professional grade.

For what I was looking for, which was a high quality rack mounted guitar effects/amp modeler for my home studio at an affordable price, the V-Amp Pro from Behringer is perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

... the years pass and digital technologies are changing rapidly. Today a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), the "engine" of all our multi-effect turns sampling rates and bit depth increasingly important. What make ridiculous on paper, the characteristics of the blue box. And yet ...
The following, as I obviously do not agree:
I think that V-Amp is becoming "collector". Basically, a rather cheap product, offering a lot for a small price, which ultimately is an excellent tool, solid, well equipped with I / O and especially a grain offering, a personality all his. Certainly, the models are proposed for some miles away from the truth of the original amp sound, the other rather close. But when using it and triturated V-Amp, it often demonstrates a versatility and an amazing render quality. It has a "digital grain". And yes my good friends! The ear gets used to anything, it is the vector of the Ear. Like the analog has its "brand", the first modelers (whose first Line6 POD) have theirs. 10 years have passed since the release of this UFO blue . Products on the market today is verging on perfection, and that's good. But a shot in the retro-tympanic viewfinder and the V-Amp you into a world of exciting sounds. Cleans the improbable, the devastating distos with the full range of flavors sound between these two extremes. In 2012, for cheap, you have a sacred tool, really original. It is in your set? keep it!

In the following, I will refer regularly to the V-Amp 2, which I also owned. This is more of a comparative view on the evolution of V-Amp Pro a notice to the specific V-Amp Pro.

Overall, the V-Amp Pro is a rack version of the V-Amp 2. Read my opinion on the subject for more info: same amps and speakers, same effects, same processor, same sounds, etc..

There are however some important differences:
- It's a rack. I am not telling you anything, but it is already not negligible (for some of us).
- It has two digital outputs: 1 S / PDIF and AES 1 / BUI. Since this machine is designed specifically to (home) studio and most modern sound cards are equipped with such an entry, it will record without external parasite.
- It has two effects loops: a Pre-DSP mono (which can be used as a second entry) and post-DSP stereo.
- It has, among other things, a balanced XLR stereo output (history to really Pro).
- An integrated 220V. Finished, the transformer ADDITIONAL!
- Pedal 2-button disappeared.
- At the same time, Behringer has revised its publisher. It is now (more) compatible with W2k and XP.

UTILIZATION

Besides the fact that the control panel is positioned vertically instead of horizontally, there is absolutely no change in the V-Amp 2. So rebelotte, I refer you to my opinion about this machine. In summary,
- Access to the second parameter is really not easy. There must be a button to change these settings (presence, another 16 amps, the second control effects ...). We must be able to play with one hand, change the settings of the other and hear directly and changes the sound. It would have been better to not having to press a button once to access these parameters (without having to keep this button pressed), and push a second time to find the basic settings!
- To access additional settings, you must only use the editor. They are not available on the same machines. Too bad for those who do not have a PC (and therefore also for the damage 'Macciens' - to date).
- The transition between patches require a certain time ... rather negligible lorqu'on keep the same amp simulations and HP, less Lorqui they also change.

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing has really changed there either. The patches seem identical to the V-Amp 2. The processor is the same and the internal sampling frequency as well (31 KHz QLQ thing, but in my humble opinion, is no more since neither the guitar nor the HP amps do not know how to reproduce frequencies above 16 KHz).

Standard (V-Amp mode S1 or S2 connected to a mixing console), I found that was poor in égalisage medium-high and too rich bass - medium-low. I had to correct the EQ at my console to get a better overall sound (frequency point of view).

Besides, the Son and the patches of the V-Amp Pro are high quality, flexible and efficient. I note, however, still a lack of sustain compared to a real amp (tube).

I have not tested the digital outputs. I could tell you about it soon.

OVERALL OPINION

Considering that the gear can be described as 'Pro' because it is available in rack or balanced XLR connections, so this version of the V-Amp Pro is really.

For cons, I regret that Behringer is not used this makeover to improve interactivity! Thus, it would have been more 'Pro' to add buttons to directly access the second parameter, especially since they are not so high for her and there is space on the front!

It is true that the quality / price ratio is amazing, the price is almost ridiculously low and that the sounds are very good. But for the notoriety that this machine could be argued, I really preferred to pay (a little) more for the sound of the V-Amp in a really user-friendly machine.

In short, it is inherently a really great amp emulator, quality and sound quality. But to deserve the epithet 'Pro', it should have benefited, in my opinion, some other improvements.

PS A little reflection, you take the V-Amp Pro and you add the MIDI board. You are not so far from the Boss GT-6, a view prices! And look at the characteristics of the latter ...

Preamp / amp simulator (ie digital)
everything is editable via PC with software provided by Behringer (V-AMP DESIGN)
Very complete connectivity

Rack version (which I chose because it is more complete and it is more convenient for me)

UTILIZATION

Bon bah ... the manual says not much but that's Behringer ...
otherwise the edition sounds simple but if you want to do the detail you have to go through the V-AMP DESIGN software otherwise it is the gallery (because there are many parameters "hidden" so to speak and who my faith their very important!

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality level I'm in love.
I had tried on a Power Amp a lamp and a 4 * 12 which has decided me to buy my home but I plugged into my sound system and it is also terrible, Behringer has really done a good preamp with this thing

for the effects ca troubleshoots, y'en I like (some reverb) and some not so good (Rotary, Self-wha) ... but it is not worth the pedals (I and a Cry Baby I use a Power Crunch Driver for some, although those of the V-amp are not bad at all, and to "boost" the sound on some tracks)

Otherwise I use an Ibanez with EMG rise and an old Start imit.

OVERALL OPINION

So I've had 15 days ... the time to know the beast ... well almost

I am more than satisfied ... it's versatile and sound quality is much better for my taste, my old amp (Marshall MG100dfx).

the problem is the user manual is complete and editing sounds "live" a bit difficult

I would do without hesitation that choice ...
I want to say I wanted a POD PRO origin and after trying the two I took the V-amp (which should perhaps be better to my style of music -> Death / Trash / Black)

- The majority of effects are included in the VAMP Pro ... Personally I am not too fan of the effects (except for the tremolo and reverb may be a few).
- Amp simulator (32) and HP ... Technology numrique ...
- Editable thanks to the software Vamp Design tlchargeable here (http://www.v-amp.com/) free and is a real bndiction to make sounds quite easily ... It is necessary all the same to buy a cable to connect the MIDI In and Out the joystick port on the sound card ...
- Modl rack

UTILIZATION

- Extra light manual ... It is a 'Behringer signature'. But I think it is enough to understand how the bte-General for ...

SOUND QUALITY

- Apart from that I love the effects too (dj said above), I find that even when simus are not bad at all! And makes me laugh when people say that the vamp is not top pro for cleans and crunches ............

- Branch to the headphone or on a string: really not bad at all! The device used in this rvle Fully ...

OVERALL OPINION

- Has been almost eight months that I use
- I find it a versatile tool trs (this is only for I took it) that lets you do many things ...
- The report is the Behringer qualitprix ben so it's nickel ...
- I would do that choice but for a more studio ... Live has done but does not replace an amplifier (transistor or lamp) ... I will try to cum in the effects loop of an amplifier lamp by passing a short time, a well should give something!

EDIT: I have a good test in the loop of an amplifier bin is not for a RVer should not ... on the other hand, homestudio in, it works really well trs!

V-AMP PRO

Prampli + multi purpose numerical simulation.
No part pramp lamp.
The V-amp is totally contrlable via a PC with MIDI ports. The patch are available on the site amp.com concernat v-day implementation of internal effects processor presets + modified by other users.
The V-amp Pro is a rack MODEL trs well made, it possde many inputs and outputs for a maximum compatibility with your existing hardware. The rear panel is full rev.
It can work in home studio, studio, repeating and scene modes with 3 studio and 2 live modes.

UTILIZATION

I am not an experienced user of multiple effect of all kinds.
Submitted up, I plutt used to turn the knobs to find my sound.
The handling of the device proves to be simple, just read the manual supplied with the unit french to understand the logic of the device.
The documentation is excellent, unlike what some say!!
J'apprcie what really matters is seeing the affects each preset rglages thanks to the small lights that indicate the knobs on each rglages. (I like knobs ... what do you is the easiest and fastest rgler direct sound).

The edition of the presets is very easy via the pc you can access all custom settings in real time, make changes and sauveguarder why not all with a DIFFERENT name of preset.

The manual explains everything about everything, if you use the V-AMP software design, is a doc SPECIFICATIONS tlchargeable site http://www.V-Amp.com

SOUND QUALITY

Damn!! I tried the TONELAB pbliscite everyone! yes it contains good VR simulation and circuit gain is not bad, it has more effect than the V-AMP ,..... but the price is not the same.
A test of the V-AMP, j'tais a little tank. I think considering the price I demand quality sound trs average ... H Well no!! I shut poustoufl ... sitting. Ism a fool of the clear lens over the deep. Of his desire crunchy (but where are the lamps??) And saturax worthy of a mesa triple rectified. I found a good dynaque all sounds except some modlisations amp.

I use this with an Ibanez S540 pramp FM climbs Di Marzio Tone Zone in bridge, the original simple and Di Marzio Air Norton in the neck. Splitables a double switch.

Among the available presets, some match the title, for others it is an urgent need to change, and that's a matter of style and taste.

OVERALL OPINION

Acqurir before the V-AMP PRO, I intended to buy equipment pro 90s. ART SGX 2000 or a Digitech 2120 artist, but hey, I do not need as much impact my disposal and can not bring me anything rglages. I am not a professional and I spend time playing prfre that rgler a multi-purpose. (H and there had not enough knobs, anything on the SGX 2000 ...).
In addition, the possibility of a digital signal that rcuprer on PC or console is INTERESTED in a good quality sound.

I think the price quality ratio is excellent !!!!!
Although sr, for use by a guitarist who need standard effects that are not modifiable in any direction (Digitech prophesy).

I did not know BEHRINGER products before, but I think the next purchase will be the pdalier 1010 that provides opportunities supplmentaires (Wah-Wah ped ...)

Voii a guitarist are happy to purchase!! (Dja's not bad!!)

Blah blah ... ... they are known

UTILIZATION

The simple "use ...
after having read the book for fifteen minute course quite
The edition is a bit complex but with the PC software, bof child's play

SOUND QUALITY

I used my live and studio
should not mix because it is preset to live are not very good but good for stud y'en and others who understand ....
American Stratocaster with good she does very well

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 2 years now and no trouble with this machine.
what I like most about it Bebelle me being able to make presets for each different style of music (rock, blues, metal, pop ....)
sound for every occasion.

I heard the line6 pod at work and I would not change ... especially since it is more expensive ...

very good report quality / price
if I had to redo this purchase I would do without hesitation!

Well, here's all dj say. Everything was full of amps that can assign all full of baffles.
Numrique technology, but with an output double analgesic Ultra-G direct XLR to attack a console.
Patches are ditables tlchargeable and free at Behringer (or other fan sites although sr). There is even a program to convert POD patches in patches V-Amp.
In terms of connectivity, there's everything!
2U.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple .... gnrale A condition not to be based on the original manual. APRS, once it's gone, roll youth.
The edition of the effects seemed simple enough at shooting buttons, but to find his sound .. It's hellish! There are so many possibilities that no one knows which way the head.
Regularly, the leaves for her to find me a nag and I finished with a bluesy sound and vice versa. Not life grand?
8 for the manual shabby, but once you understood the subtleties 2 or 3, rolls without a problem.

SOUND QUALITY

L adcoiffe .... For the price, we can expect the sounds of "superb" quality like gnrs by the late RA-5 to Ibanez ..... Well no, it is monstrous enough to be honest.
S to say that modlisations are Russia, I do not know, I board not jou of 5% modliss amps, but in any case, the sound palette is huge !
The Fender modlisations are quite spectacular, as Marshall. Level Mesa is not the panacea, but there's good rglages to do amps and "Custom" V-amp allow other follies, clear sound great attack by the compressor tr s is the saturation effective ... killer (even a bit too) ...
For big sound, but I still use my pedals Shred Master of saturated grain so special. And joy: the V-amp audio on the Personal'm just like when I plugged into the amp.
My guitar is a Lag Roxanne Floyd Prestige, and it also does not lose (too much) his personality in this ddale numrique.
Add a cel that there ais no noise gnrs by the camera (except when my washing machine is running or my computer screen is lit well from sr. ..)
In short, you'll understand: I am delighted by this bug. As often with numrique the Satus end up making too fat "bee", but, unlike my old Digitech pdalier, the V-amp is able to cash my Shred PForm without sound, I have my happiness in all the sounds wishes.
Never test live, but at least for the home studio is impeccable.

OVERALL OPINION

All dj t say.
Difficult to criticize this machine as a whole is the ridiculous price.
The report price is unbeatable quality and even more opportunity.

When I would do whether this choice: If in another life I end up rich, I would take a house big enough to have a home, my heads Randall Mesa and Fender, and all the fuss of analog pedals. Like the one I have a small budget, I would do so this choice, again and again.

Rack model
not (yet) patch for cubase sx, but a good editing software.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use without reading the manual.
you find the riffs of James Hetfield rapido!
you laugh quickly touching everything.

SOUND QUALITY

Use with a 1970 Hofner bass and ultra strat 1990 (and wheelbarrows).
Product quiet, beyond my expectations.
pity it is not usb.

OVERALL OPINION

Good!
In the 70's I was carrying heavy amps (orange, or vox mainly bontampis and exceptionally-mdr).
Now I want to have sound with potala or alone in my studio it is personal.

so for me this camera is everything I wanted: sound, sound, and no back pain.
While purists will say "nothing beats the gnagnagna Mesa Shal-Find-xxl-666.
Me, I for my money and have fun like a savage!
My sound models rather well

qualitprix = 100% because I know the value financirement solutions "ideally perfect."

I buy? ben ... a little yes!

Surment you know, 32 amp, 15 HP and a lot of effects ...

UTILIZATION

Quick and nice except for mode "2nd" o you have to press two buttons once, it's a bit annoying but you get done ...

SOUND QUALITY

While sound quality level, I am frankly FFAR the ass! The amp sounds beautiful little heating and vintage, the simulation Marshall and Mesa are glaring vrit is incredible, it really is 32 amps at ...

OVERALL OPINION

Discoveries I have the V amp by chance because I was looking for a pod to departure. And quite frankly, here are the Difference: the pod there ampplis names, but not the sound, the V amp ily not the original names but your exact amp is just as well (see meuilleur For my part) that the pod. So with the pod you pay the brand and not quality. Warning! POD and trs well but you see if you want to put 750 into a product while the 200 version is just as good!

Very complete!

UTILIZATION

Rather easy to use, you get the sound you want quickly, a shame that the time parameter is in "TAPtempo" is not very accurate but if not, you can always plug into a PC and edit very precisely all partametres in real time! friendly enough ...
the manual is more than zero, incomplete and not very well done.

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds (if I take into account the price) are huge, its strong point is the recess distos that shake the walls, I tested many other amp simulators and large sound level is one of the best placed. The clean sounds are both successful and equal of concurrency. The effects are not studio quality but when even troubleshoot. I like the compressor, the other effects a dedicated rack would be the "must". the NR is very effective and very practical the tuner.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, I have compared to the vox (the one with the lamp) and the pod.
the vox is more realistic, but the large distortion limits are, however clean sounds and crunches are superior. the pod is identical except that for me the big distos are worse and it is more expensive! I had a V-amp 2 is the same with a connection less complete and more fragile.
for € 220, objectively, there is no better. but the V-AMP2 is much cheaper and does the same ... So much to buy the model to 120 €! I had to do with Behringer customer service for anything else and they are fast and efficient, so note.
