All user reviews of 5/5 for the Behringer V-Amp Pro

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!

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 ...

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 ............
- Plugs directly into the PA via the XLR ... I use a Blade Texas Standard gratoune as ... The sound is not bad but if the batter a little too pat ben just drown in it ... It's not an amp lamp should not RVer ....
- 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.

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.

No need to repeat!

UTILIZATION

Some functions are not very practical! As the second adjustment accessible remaining press the tap tempo!
Sounds are easily editable. The control software v amp is not bad but I do not use it. The possibilities are quite large. The manual is zero, as usual at Behr ...
I have the FCB1010 pedalboard that I use with him is against vraimen very well!

SOUND QUALITY

I plug in a lamp and Engl 2x20 2x12 cabinet with a V30. For the price, it's the best preamp, multi-effect relationship, no comparison! I play in a metal band and I sound very precise and powerful. The ENGL really gives another dimension to the v-amp, do it live!
The saturation are really good for my taste, just enough to spend some time to find the right setting.
As a group, it is nickel, the sound is very precise and does not bleed, it has its place and is doing very good job.
I do not like clean sounds ...
The effect troubleshoot, but no more: S

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years. I am doing with, no worries. My sound is very faithful to what I want and I do not see the usefulness of changing preamp.
The jack between starts crachouiller! It's a shame but for the price ...
Report qualitprix excellent. If it fails, I probably will redeem.
Zieuter or I can be of the cot ENGL preamp, but it is 5 to 6 times more expensive!

UTILIZATION

I use with the editing software "V-Amp Editor", where everything is easily adjustable. Otherwise, use a bit more complicated, especially with the buttons to be pressed simultaneously and the multitude of settings and submenus. The manual is clear enough (in my case!) And gives frank description of emulation (no circumlocution and innuendo to describe a make and model of amp. They cite the brands and model for most).
The routing options are numerous and very practical. I use it with its digital output connected directly to my audio interface, connected itself to my studio monitors. The input loop is very convenient to connect a foot pedal for pre-treatment, such as a wah wah or an external compressor.
I put 8 because if editing is easy via software, "manual" mode is another thing: the key combinations often have to do with both hands.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with two guitars: a Vigier Excalibur Original mounted DiMarzio HSS (HS-2 pickups in neck and middle and a PAF Pro Custom-made for Michael Lee Firkins in bridge), Ibanez SZ320 and a Gold Top mounted Seymour Duncan SH1 in '59 with a handle and a TB-4 Jeff Beck bridge. Connected to the V-Amp Pro by George L's Cable (which gives a super set). My goal was to get sound to 80's shredder: Reb Beach, Van Halen (Sammy Hagar period), Neal Schon, etc.. along with the sound AC / DC. And it does! it's awesome! Before buying it, I tried the POD (Pro, XT), which I had not at all convinced. The sound was "soft". Then reluctantly (requiring prejudice: it is a copy, it's cheaper, so should not expect miracles) I tried the V-amp 2. And yes, sometimes in life, there are miracles: the distos were really convincing (in my style). I could get my beloved sounds "California" from the golden age of shred, so really convincing (emulation Soldano SLO-100 and Design by Marshall J. Arredondo are my favorites) and get some great clean sounds , whether for casseroles funk to beautiful ballads rose water with my Ibanez And I find the tonal colors of the Young brothers. Of course, to create your own because the presets are too loaded with effects. Simulations of speakers are very successful.
Then I purchased the V-amp Pro, which offered a more professional and connection range. And it gives me all the sounds I need. I have no idea how a real Soldano sounds thoroughly, an Engl Savage Beast or a Mesa Triple Rectifier, and indeed I do not care. Because even if I had, I can certainly not put fully into my apartment to get the quintessence of saturation, without blowing my windows, shake the building and put me back to the neighborhood. In addition to the wealth of engineering it takes to deploy a perfect sound recording. What interests me is that the modeler sounds for my taste. it is only my opinion, and in taste and color, anything goes (almost !)... But I have a very good musical ear and I'm synaesthetic (I see music in colors). And I find the same "tone colors" with my V-Amp Pro with the songs of guitarists I listen to. We must also say that I have good guitars, and the instrument cable I use is very good (and not at all expensive for what it is!).
For effects, I use very little, because I record without effects, and I said at the time of the mix, the sequencer, so for software. But I like the delay when I playing without saving. The modulations are not bad, but I do not know enough about guitar effects pedals to say they are better or not than the average. Anyway I really like the clear sound with flanger, chorus and a touch of lead in giving this side deliciously 80's. The compressor is nice and can help, but I prefer to use a compressor "hardware" in the input loop of the V-Amp Pro (upstream of the DSP).
I put 9 because some distos I like, but others are quite uneven. Emulation Vox AC30 Top Boost is too loaded in medium for my taste, and simulation of Mesa Boogie Mark IIc has a very low noise level. But it sounds good anyway. Then I can not say whether the effects are great or not, so I reserve my opinion. But for my utiisation, it satisfies me.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a while, and it is a pleasure to get my sounds "shredder" as far as my clean sounds. Since then I have tried other modelers (Line 6 and others) and is the only level that I like the sounds. The range of sounds that can be obtained is very wide, and distos "Hi Gain" really punch. An excellent price / quality ratio.

Personally I rack model: the V-amp pro. With its beautiful metallic blue color and all its connections at the rear.

UTILIZATION

I use it in rehearsal, concert, but especially in the studio that is happiness. I never opened the manual, and no worries, it is very intuitive.

SOUND QUALITY

So there ... It does not compare an amp simulator with real amp, because there did not like this. But compare against its competitor. For over 15 years that I make music and I recorded a lot of things with a lot of different stuff. Currently j'utulise Line6 POD 2.0 for clear sound and some solos Satriani, but that is for the fat distortion, I prefer the V-amp Pro. In fact I think there always be a slight compression, which gives the sound I was looking for. We may as well be super sound for blues or rock, hard rock, but I think it excels for Metal!

OVERALL OPINION

I fell in love. Purchased 3 years ago now. I use it every day, and I admit not being able to do without. more than the price at which it occurs, there is not even thinking. I then bought the FCB pedal MIDI controller from the same brand, then I loved the low version, which I must admit is a little lower I think. I think one day I'll buy another one. History to have a rehearsal and the concert and leave the second in my studio.
