All user reviews of 5/5 for the Behringer V-Amp 2

Amp Simulation (32)
Effects.
See previous opinions.

UTILIZATION

Using fairly simple (a commme amps) but there are two drawbacks:
* You have to press two keys simultaneously to access certain settings
* The connection to the PC via MIDI is a bit complicated
That said, it is very practical because you control everything from software damn well, you can rename and store their presets (125 in the Vamp and all you want on the PC ) or download from the Web

SOUND QUALITY

Very good sound quality! No idea of ​​his amps simulated, but it sounds! Just one detail: I agree with an earlier opinion: the sound is amazing alone, really stunning ... But it is difficult to insert into a mix (be it the sound is dispersed in the audio spectrum)

Noise present but small, easy to remove (no noise gate 15)

The effects are good but uneven (ping pong / rotary to shit and delay / tremolo / compressor very correct), the reverb (which can be adjusted separately) m'emballent do too much, I find them rather cold and metallic, but there are varied enough to make sauce.

Added June 28, 2004:

Looking back ... I love my vamp! With a little practice you get to tweak the sound so that it fits in a mix ... and then distos are so numerous and varied that enough is enjoyable! have all these amps on hand it's so convenient! when I compose or when I try to give her what my guitar for such occasions, I have the opportunity to find a distortion that makes the music perfectly as I have in my head (rather fat and purring? rather garish and skinned or type "long complaint" ... or just a big song for three explosive agreement (who said linkin park?), everything is there!). Well of course, is not qualified as opinions, but I tested a number of simulation software amp ... and it is not joy ... the sound is perhaps easier to wedge in a mix, but what a hassle to give it some scale! Strongly Vamp 3!

OVERALL OPINION

An unbeatable value for money no problem! Oh yes: It's really ugly!

Resources: Vamp Mailing list at Yahoo (English)

Note: I just opened a site to collect the wishes of everyone for Vamp3 (amps, effects, connections, etc ...) in English (and yes .... requires international version), come fgaire a turn c 'is here: http://durou.hugo.free.fr

Deja say

But I find it still well full!

UTILIZATION

While the manual might be a little more complete but it's OK ease!
The edition of the sounds I make in one second once you move the price!
the appearance of the facade SETTINGS kind of amp is super nice! we see right away what it was sound business.

I plug in my 80 watt marshall VS between the auxiliary bin is perfect!

The latency is over when one keeps the same amp or even baffle and it's really not a problem!

SOUND QUALITY

To the sounds! I'm really satisfied!!
For distos: then it's FOOT!! I play metal! I finally found my sound! with my les paul epiphone goth climbs EMG ZW (that is not a scratch eceptionnelle!) I get a bin and get all kinds of distortion! the little crunch that tears well DISTO BIG WELL AS HEAVY WITH FULL tore it LOW! The kind of graoooooo coming out of the belly of a hungry bear in tchekosclovaquie! I frankly t bluff! Yesterday I reconnected to try my guitar distortion on my Marshall Valvestate and a price jme'm almost laughing fools!

For clean sounds: it is true that it is a bit hard but we set a lot of good trs!

So you have to look for arrter engl mesa or 2000 euros that we start or we will not break the bank this bug is nickel!

OVERALL OPINION

Bin and I am glad trs! I bought used for 115 euros and serious Thomann! bin and its dechire! I would do 10 times that choice if it was needed!

Well no need to return again above

UTILIZATION

Unlike a lot of other user settings I find intuitive trs simple without being simplistic, it is true that having to support two key simultanment for ACCD certain function can be a little ch **** but well oublie.toute 30min on the functionalities are easily exploitable if only one looks a little bit, for against the manual provides carrment is useless except for some concept but the best is Tatton and discovering the haphazard and trs we understand how it works soon

SOUND QUALITY

Then it is the heart of the BTE, APRS have toured the factory pRSET relement zero on every point I said, "I expected more blah" and and as far I understood that to really exploit the potential of bte had to put hands dirty! requires the rgl bte little by little and it is r the base element, I use PRS Tremonti is on and peavey bandit 112 and I really Russia to find my sound finally my son.pour the saturation is the VAMP2 gnial, small distortion to the big crunch metal that spot, I have already programmed a dozen with my little distortion diffrent mimine each slap is really whatever its style, personally I do not sound cold but otherwise it's about APRS gout.j 'by i had read that the clean sound n'taient no top, and b is true, but if you spend time making a diffrent rglage you get a get tr s good clean sound in any case require personal j'tais trs for my distos well with that little blue thing in the form of Paul (yes) I'm ba ange.Les effects of the emsemble trs good bill no complaints.

OVERALL OPINION

I for a week, and I use it the more I realize the Earl of efficacitj'ai jou already on a lot of multi purpose (GNX, line 6) and is good for the sound nttement above, then rather than the thousand words I'll make the description of a happy pocesseur v AMP2:
s'exctasy someone before the distortion of known group, which does not seek above all a perfect and clean sound that does not seek to "override" her song because of all kinds, roughly the VAMP2 is made for metal! see the rocker but if your thing is pluto Carla Bruni palmas or pass your way if you jett above you will not, in addition to 90 euros at Thomann impossible not to see vrit face!

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)
- Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC?
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
- Is this a rack or rack MODEL?

So you if I remember correctly 32 amp simulations, fifteen speaker simulation (a * is an 8 to 4 * 12), a fairly wide range of effects of quite variable quality, but I would later ...

This is a very numrique, presets are ditables via a PC, free and tlchargeable behringer site.

The connection is trs complte, instrument input, headphone output, output amplifier / console / sound left and right, between power supply, MIDI in and out, and also an auxiliary input for CD player, drum machine etc. ...

And it is the MODEL form pdalier, rack version benefitted from a more complte connection ... (notably between numrique output and AES / EBU, but hey Amoin to work in a studio is not much)

UTILIZATION

Uh, the manual is .... Not always super clear, it must be admitted, the beginners I struggled to find my sound, and will make a month and I still can not use a noise gate, which I though would be useful ...

APRS in terms of a select maple, equalization, selection effects, there's just turn the knobs and it's good, no need to get out of Polytechnic ...

The point is to ngatif CHAC auc advanced options ...

SOUND QUALITY

There's good and the trs plutt bad, let me explain:

The simus are generally good, the Brit hi-gain (JCM 800), American blues (fender bassman 59 '), Rectified-hi-gain (mesa dual recto), modern hi-gain (Soldano SLO 100), tweed combo, and The models "v-amp 'in crunch and drive are good trs is the ones I personally prfre on the simulation of bassman found out the grain" tube "...

Sounds pretty clear its a dificil Boten is that it's easely bte drive, and finally the "classic clean" (jc120) with a sudden chorus is beautiful ...

on the other hand, ngatif point: the breath, not when you get to use the noise gate (like me: p) has quickly become ugly when you put a lot of gain.

In use "studio", connected to a PC, has done wonders, the facielment was a BIG sound, as well as a very nice crunch for blues, but a combo branch, I find it fantastic, a breath, and means that the numrique, there's no way to have a real big sound ... but the good bbte Has made for the studio

Ct effects of the Delia, chorus, phaser pluttrussi are, in fact it's the ones I use most: p
As against the auto wah, flanger and are rotten, I explain, auto wah we hear not so much, and the flanger to hear a donf must push ', but is meant most to him: p

I put 7, -3 is mainly for the impossibility to have a branch in a big combo.

OVERALL OPINION

Pay a little prs 100 Thomann, I should trs well, I can register and have an excellent, and when he was asked not to make a big sound, a branch of combo you get a draw even when something good ...

Even if all effects and simus are not scabs, if one is mtalleux, we give a damn whether the simulation of vox AC30 is good as long as the front ensures the same, if we play especially in crunch and clear, you fucking well know that the front da breath like a pig as long as the JC120 assure In short, everyone will find it is on a is not a big multi rack, but for the price we are bluffs, trs good report quality price!

I do it again without hsiter this choice, no need to slam 80 more for a POD!

This machine possde simulations amp and speakers, and an effects section. It can therefore replace the effect pedals, but I think it's particularly for amplifiers that must use it.

Good point: the potential effects in
bad point: no XLR output and therefore can not serve as a direct box is a real shame.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, and fortunately, because the way is the worst job I've ever seen (and yet it is not my first product from Behringer!). The V-spot is Systm gnial: the postition of the buttons is displayed for each knob when loading a preset.

I think they have the simplicity of privilgi Comprehensiveness is a pity: when you look at the number of paramtres modifiable, it is likely that the effect is misrable section. But in fact we are dealing a real complte effects section, and what is trs frustrating is that we can not set it directly on the device. Each effect possde between 3 and 4 Settings, but there is only one button rglage! To do what you will, it is mandatory to go through the MIDI and computer.

And another problem ... for me. The software provided by Behringer is only for PC and for MAC must Tlcharger paid software! Otherwise, you can always try to set the MIDI directly ...

So use:
9 / 10 for the amp section
3 / 10 for the section effects

SOUND QUALITY

Frankly, I'm not trained guitarist, but pianist. The sound quality is excellent. I have not had the opportunity to test the amps true emulation, but in any case, they are all typs trs, and you can walk in all musical styles. I tried simulations Native Instruments (Vox AC, Marshall Plexi and Fender) convolution, and I think this machine is widely weight. The diffrence is that one does not Access in particular amplifiers: for example, the reverb is the same for everyone, there is no treble boost the AC Box, no tremolo SPECIFICATIONS of fenders ... For cons, the settings are Tone (senss) Fidler to be true.

For quality sound a note. Some say the view that the sound is awful. This is normal: It is essential not connect this machine on a guitar amp is a total nonsense! How do you want the sound of a mesa boogie with a high) speaker 4x12 "going out on a guitar amp, say, a peavey? It's impossible, you will forcment of poop.

Simulator must be connected directly to a mixer, that's only these machines are made, for failing to use amplifiers.

OVERALL OPINION

Two types of use:
- I register: gnial is done has! I plug directly into the mixer or sound card ...
- I play in group: I plugged into the mixer and go out on the sound of the group, but not on my amp.

I bought the V-amp for power rpter quietly, and to record the guitar parts of my components without galrer me back my amp rotten (a silverstar 5 ") with a microphone, 3 am if I want.

I think the v-amp rpond my needs completely, and for that price, you must go for: the line6 pod is very well, but I do not think it worth the difference.

Behringer V-Amp 2
Amp simulator (digital) with major effects (reverb, delay, wah, compressor, phaser, flanger, tremolo and noise gate).
Editable via a little program very well be downloaded from the Behringer site that lets you change all the settings trèsfacilement by plugging the amp v PC via MIDI cable not included.

UTILIZATION

General config simple. The few negative opinions (its too sharp, breath, not suited to live, etc ...) seem to result from too rapid a reading of the manual to take full advantage of the potential of the bike ... as usual (: o)). Personally, none of these defects, while bathing!
Very versatile thanks to the general config 2 outputs available to choose from the ignition. 5 options: studio 1 and 2 (stereo) or 1,2,3 LIVE
that can cope with all situations (the studio at the piano bar or the big rock scene for 800 spectators)

Following additional questions to one member, see the downloadable manual point
2 - / usage examples: there are five types of config stereo outputs A and B: 2 for studio-S1 and S2 and 3-Live (L1. L2. L3) = see table on page 10 and 11 for details.
If you plug a headset, it is mandatory mode STUDIO 1. By default, the V amp is factory config STUDIO 1 (this probably explains the criticism is not based on the sound that would amp sucks on a tester / it seems not to have read the doc (: o)) .... )
To change the config, press buttons simultaneously B and D, and select the mode (S1, S2, and L1. L2. Or L3) with the arrows
It has tons of potential effects = / 3-band equalizer with and without simulation of HP, the ULTRA-G / amp simulation effects + / amp simulations and HP / 3-band EQ effects Studio + 1, etc etc ...

Used in conjunction with the FCB 1010 MIDI foot controller, absolutely indestructible (but a bit complicated to manage!) Over a 1 year

It still sounds good, both at home and studio headphones,
on stage for concerts
(Twenty concerts) or I use the config LIVE L3:
direct connection of the output of the V L = Left amp (without simultaneous HP) on my HH guitar amp that I use as a personal return
+ Direct connection of the output of V R = Right amp (with simultaneous output HP) on the mixing of the sound: the sound engineer does not need to transplant my amp with a mic and gets much better than its exit "line out" of my amp.

The system configuration is well thought out, the convenient foot switch is stronger than the rest.
Indeed (: o)), it does not age well, the V AMP2, it must be protected because of the fragility of the plastic (plastoc knobs in ultra weak) and screen-printed enrollment that began to fade after four concerts. It is easily perfectible BEHRINGER M!

One other downside: the latency is too high when changing sounds: 1 second of silence between the end of casseroles in a clear, self-wah chorus is a bit awkward on stage (the pod line6 poses same problem)

SOUND QUALITY

Considering the price, it's totally stunning ... as usual at Behringer!
One branch, we choose the appropriate config (studio or stage) and it sounds!
Are readily available all: good distortion / overdrive and the crunch of his light,
etc..
In addition to the very convincing simulations, which are worth very much those of the pod line6 (2 + times expensive at the time of my purchase), it was a true comprehensive effects section.
Each effect has three or four parameters, but there is that one knob!
To access it, it is simple to use + the small program downloaded from the Behringer site that lets you change all the settings by connecting the v amp PC via MIDI cable not included.

OVERALL OPINION

Semi pro musician for over 20 years, I had everything, I tried lots of effects!
Progress in 10 years are amazing, but the prices were a bit daunting for amateurs or zicos penniless (redundant!).
With V amp, it's good for much cheaper! very versatile, it fully meets my needs for 1 year +, if only one seriously read the manual and it refines the sound to fit his amp and guitar to his game.
For the price, well worth ca 10 must go for it!

As always, there are better (barely) but it's really more expensive
(Eg Zoom GT9: great, but 450 Euros!!).
And remember that what makes your sound, it is primarily your fingers!!
So we do not forget to work its range and listen to their masters as Clapton, Page, Satriani or! (: O))

therefore +
- Value for money
- The sound (especially if it refines the effects yourself)
- Simulations
- Comprehensive connectivity (a bit fragile in the long run)

and the few -
- High latency when changing sounds: 1 second
- Fragility of the plastic (knobs and jacks) and screen-printed registration

I would definitely do it again this election, the rack can be pro?

T say everything about it! In my opinion lacks a pitch shifter ...

UTILIZATION

It is not complicated but not very practical either to configure the device via same ... against it by foot via the software edition (which I find more convenient than the POD XT).

Weaknesses: - no switch (or dye to turn the machine) ...
- Change in latency between patch (for Gnant certainly live).
- No USB

These are small but n'enlve nothing to quality of the device.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are enough for me ... but lacks the pitch shifter ... tjs

I use it with my guitar (humbucker with Fender, Ibanez RG 550 and Variax 500) connected to my PC via my mixer (single formula is trying to time) and I must say that I find the V- Amp 2 trs satisfactory or even more considering its price and its age.

It is often taken as an orphan product Line 6 (POD XT) and for my part ... I am tempted to say it suits me better for now that the big bean. I like the frquences bcp and everything appears well in my mix. Grain amp is DIFFERENT from that of the POD XT. I did not really clean sounds INTERESTED ... follow.

In all cases, depending on the configuration chosen, a sound according to my wishes and needs (rock and instrumental rock like Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Steve Hackett and company).

OVERALL OPINION

It's been months qques I have (bought used 'to not grd thing) I am satisfied tjs trs and it allows me to vary the pleasure of the POD XT.
I think it is useful to pay given its price and what it offers ... so yes I highly recommend it. I'm going to pay me to watch her pdalier FCB1010.

The look and finish are debatable but the point is not l. .. Otherwise I'd be curious to try it on a Tech 21 amp adapted genre and group or live.

Ditables many effects on the machine itself (no need to go through a PC or Mac).
A footswitch pedals, the V-Amp and Power, all grouped in a small bag. Weight lightweight, compact, large, easily transportable.
Possibility to connect a headset, amp, ... in short, everything that makes you want to get the sound! Basically, no need to carry around with his amp to go to BPS, even the most lousy computer speakers can make out the sound of this thing blue)

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, the edition of the sounds is quick and easy too. You can either engage the Discoveries of the V-Amp, or even so-so read the instructions. For my part, I'm the first choice and am well trs out

SOUND QUALITY

Trs good sound quality overall, trs good sounds and effects, except the wah-wah which is very dcevant, and presets that are dpart suck (but ditables all fa ons).
Small problem in terms of changing presets. Indeed, there is a lag time between the passage of a preset one that is small but remarkable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks, but I am far from the be. I'm not an expert Contents effects, and everything in regard to guitars, but the report qualitprix the V-Amp is the same poustouflant. It can be acqurir for a hundred euros, so it is the door of everyone in prices, and all the possibilities it offers, has worth to pay. However, for those with 500 dpenser in effect, go your way, even when there is a much better way to find ... but not for 100 anyway! I test the POD (in full competition with the jewel of Behringer), and I found the V-Amp more efficient, more "finished" my taste.

For me, it's just the problem of latency when switching from one preset to another (not useful for the trs live!), But put a hand, no major problem report.
In addition, 125 presets are ditables (25 sries of 5), which makes us a lot of dj work before any filling and any use. The range of effects looks like a small plutt (we would have wanted to buy a nice plutt effects pedals with tons of delay DIFFERENT), but it really way to do wonders with a, because the big advantage for me in the V-Amp is that almost anything can be adjusted carefully according to my wishes.

Basically, there are plenty more of that good pedals wahwah ct and would be perfect

Bijour

amp simulator designed to work with headphones or connecting to a mixer.
also some effects (reverb, delay, wah, compressor, phaser, flanger, noise gate, tremolo, all for + / - € 100

UTILIZATION

Then there is the low punch:
the manual is limited to nine pages (including data sheet, the thanks, in short there are only five pages of explanation) which is sufficient for basic changes. a thicker manual can be downloaded from the site.

The configuration is well thought out for the adjustment of the amp (bass, middle, treble, gain) maispour setting elements ben ca complicates this: to change the present, the choice of some of the 2nd amp and effect setting selected, one must hold a key and turn the corresponding knob .... not very practical .... but it gets worse .... to change the channel (power gain), the speaker simulation, gaite the noise, the third setting of the effect, one must first press two buttons and then click the button for the change to click a button to exit the quick change ..... but not practical at all not hard either ...

the foot switch is handy (it looks more solid than the rest) but it only allows up or down in the bank's selected manually!!

Fortunately, a small program downloaded from the site can change the settings by connecting the v amp on a computer via a MIDI cable not included.

important point: all I / O of the animal is via large jack

SOUND QUALITY

While there, considering the price, it's not bluffing ... the sound is not perfect, it still faces a saturation effect frequencies when you put the machine back, there's that breath ... removes the noise gate.

I can not say what amp is simulated, but we get very good overdrive ... (the sound is bold)

to play on an amp, it is mandatory to connect the return of the effects loop if the sound is too acute.

Adjusting the bass is very déliquat because knob acts on many frequencies
The simulator is EXELLENT HP ... he changed the sound completely.

ca for the price is 10 but there are better but it's really more expensive.

A LISTEN: www.myspace.com/warlus2 ( http://www.myspace.com/warlus2 )
les paul studio in a V-AMP2 the whole mix on a sb live 5.1 (guarantee of quality .... you do not laugh)

OVERALL OPINION

For the record, I plugged my boss gt3 directly into the computer (it also has a simulation section) but now I use the gt3 for clear sound and v amp for crunch and distortion overdrive.
I said that the v amp is designed for recording or headphones .... what it does very well but do not think about that for the game live or amp ....
you can easily find a good distortion / over and the crunch ... the sound is clear déliquat to adjust.
therefore +
-Sound (if you set yourself the machine)
The simu-
and -
-Factory presets for almost all the solo
-Difficulty settings (the beginning)
Not for the live-and amp

I find it very hard to beat for the money ...

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 ...
