All user reviews for the Behringer V-Amp 2

These aspects have dj t Retailer in the previous ones opinion ...

UTILIZATION

The functions available are clear trs. I did not have to open the doc to exploit them.
The edition sounds (choices and rglages amp, HP) is empty. The manual is clear that the French version is widely incomplte trs. We are obliged to consult the documentation in English for advanced functions.
The V-amp is a box of the same mystrieuse: imagine a Ferrari, you know she can run 300 but does not give you the gear lever (damn). The bote contains a lot of possibilities that are not accessible. For example: the front can not combine the effects of his choice. It provides a set of prselections (not always sound). The total programming can be done via a PC with MIDI and software "v-amp design," tlchargeable free at Behringer. From there the entire CASC bte: a rgal!
The look a little fake and fragile. Attention to transport.
The connection is complte and even if it seems brittle it is pretty good quality (inputs and outputs symtrique). One regret: no effects loop.

SOUND QUALITY

The amp tones are good trs without knowing whether the models are really Fidler (is it really important?). For a long time on the marshall jou, I can say is that the JCM800 MODEL trs close to the original. Some models sound better than others but all are usable. I play Classic and Lag Roxanne MODELS Jtm45 Marshall, JCM800, Soldano, Matchless (among others) resortent well.
The effects are Ingals quality.
The pros:
compressor
echo and delay
chorus and flanger
some rverbes
The -:
phaser
Rotary (????)
some rverbes
either the + or -
auto-wah
wah
some rverbes.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the v-amp for a year. I buy version 1 and 2 is to evolve (chgmt EPROM). The strengths of the device are its sound quality good on scne trs and really excellent recording. The diversity of sounds is a device adapted to all kinds of music. Weaknesses: no on / off switch, the format is not well suited to the scne (but a good work). Before buying I test the pod (sounds exagerment boost in the midrange on all models, bandwidth limit price), the j-station (sounds good but a little flat, the price 'era) Yamaha D-stomp (sounds so so I got).
I do not regret my purchase because it is the best cost / performance ratio.

The V-Amp (2) is an amp simulator. It can reproduce sounds and SETTING THE sounds of 32 amps clbres and / or mythical. It also provides the simulation of 15 speakers and is equipped with a multi-effects INTERESTED.

It is equipped among other things, a line between Stereo, a headphone output and in / out MIDI (to receive patches or back).

The whole is enclosed in a blue plastic Casing. T have a carcass mtallique fits most, especially when the fate often (RPET, concerts). Similarly, the connector jack (still plastic) seem a little fragile.

The V-Amp comes standard with a footswitch and a convenient carrying case.

Upgrades to the EPROM, the editors, patches are tlchargeables free sites and the Behringer V-Amp (www.v-amp.com)

UTILIZATION

Adj for anyone used a guitar amp, the use of basic functions is simplisime: it contains the classic CONTRL (gain, bass, middle, treble, volume, master). In addition, Access in DIFFERENT amps and effects is equally simple.

Moreover, except Master Volume, potentimtres are all continuous rotation and position is indicated by a red LED. Gnial in dark places.

The patches are classs in 25 banks of 5 sounds. Access in patches of a bank is ais: either by direct ACCS with one of five buttons, or with the two buttons pdalier. Important: there is a small latency (1 sec) when changing patch. It can interfere when necessary to change its instantanment.

L or less is nice, it's Access in "second paramtres" (Presence, 2nd paramtre effects, 17 amps -> 32). It must indeed use two hands at the same time to change them. Ds difficult when direct costs rglages (unless your name is and that Hendrix plays with teeth!).

The five configurations are gnrales trs INTERESTED: they allow to adjust the V-Amp to the hardware it is connected (table mix, guitar amp, power amp, etc..) And change the qualisation gnrale altrer without the patches. To resolve the effect INTERESTED 'Fletsher - Munson'.

SOUND QUALITY

I can not indicate whether the V-Amp sounds are close or not simulated amps.

Anyway, this machine hard. I directly connect my mixer. And the sound that comes out of my speakers Hi-Fi is just as good as a guitar amp.

The mdaille is primarily for distortions in which the bass and harmonics of clatent Manir extraordinary. It is possible to obtain grains of all kinds and trsralistes. Scores high enough and the harmonics, however, lack of sustain.

Clean sounds are a little poorer. Similarly, unfortunately there is no acoustic amp simulator.

OVERALL OPINION

For those familiar with the German firm BEHRINGER, the ratio quality / CHARACTERISTICS / price is not surprising: it is quite gnial.

The few criticisms I make are:
- The memory is upgradable by changing the EPROM. A flash memory does have more practical
- The plastic case seems somewhat fragile. In addition, the cables that leave all cts are not esttiques trs (rack version would be INTERESTED)
- The ACCS is not certain paramtres boards. Supplmentaire a button for a dj Presence is more
- The power connector is not universal (very annoying when the transformer is dead or when we forget - another will not be compatible).

Everything else is taken, including the after-sales service of Behringer, fast, friendly and efficient.

Hello .....
good of this chapter, I think the opinion dja set is complete, for my part I t surprised by the number of possibilities, I bought this pedalier thanks to this site and in fact I did not think it leaves out as complete, a guitarist for the 70 branch 80, is the IDAL

UTILIZATION

Ben at beginners, I have nothing except the pan 125 factory sounds are usable and a 70/100 trs beautiful, so that even if you can not read, you can 't pdalier exploded with this ....

APRS use, one day, I can finally say that this pedal is trs complete and easy to use, the foot ...

SOUND QUALITY

Then the hole C. ca ................
I slept with since I achetbr /> for about 3 months I know shit rai flounder (yes easy) has a solution for the sound, I have a Kramer, an epiphone les paul .... and gnial amp, a peavey bandit 112 ... RPET but, I missed the sound, you know, that of 70 ****

So thanks to this site, I discovered there was kil two or more alternative, the pod and the v amp .....
been taken from the pod, and threats from my wife, I said good will see the v amp, and thanks to this site, I saw that the owners etainet happy ...

So one Saturday morning in March I went to the rehearsal room and the animal branch of the PA ...... well I have to say that Meaux (yes the evil teuteu, as the volume, I explos nan one word .... and yes fabuuulleuuuuuuuxxxxx of a sudden I became susi jimi page , angus, god koi ....

OVERALL OPINION

For one day, yet I play the guitar for 16 years, there are three things very promptly impressed ki ...
my bandit 112 amp, the bonbe seen the price of ocas
piphone my les paul, ditto above
and v amp

therefore, our answer to Kestin
for 1 day
what I like is my amp turns kil purave of 10 watts in a bonbe (I've not essy on the bandit 112

I have no other model essay
The report price is fabulous KALIT
ben with the experience of one day, yeah I do it again the same choice, and I will do everything to form a club

see you soon kisss

Well, almost everything has been said I think ... About the connection, to point out that the MIDI cable is not provided, or the software must be downloaded.
Taking power supply is pretty bizare ... say not very universal ... The day she crame hello anxiety to find a
The autowha shall have been more 'Settings' for my taste.
And a small effect of pitch would have been cool.
Otherwise, it's ok ...

UTILIZATION

The, I would say average ...

Some options are only available when using two keys at once (eg presence of distortion, 2nd effect parameters, 2nd bank of amps). As I always usually a hand on the guitar to see what gives the mod is not very practical. Well, in the long run you get to use one hand but it's not very practical.

Another bad point: the latency between two preset changes, especially if the amps are very different (up to 1 second ...)

The 'drive' (to boost the sound a little more) is only available if you enter the edit mode, so you can easily change the gain ...

The color of certain entries is very difficult to read (white on blue ... blah ...)

It lacks an on / off switch.

on the other hand, very good point when using the 3-band équlizer and reverb (just like an amp).

Also, the pedals work pretty good. For the price, it is even surprising that it is delivered!

Finally, very good for small carrying case.

SOUND QUALITY

Of excellent, very good ... and also not so good.

Some amps are frankly crap ... (Sorry for the word). Say that it does not look like the original, I do not know (I know the original ...), but I play almost every style of music, I'm certain that I never use of them! (Some distos yuck).

It lacks a little amp with good clean sound (I use 3 only).

For cons, I love the rest. Being able to mix the grain of an amplifier with HP you want. It's simple: my twin + Start + 4x12 'and the sound I waited for years!

I use almost my metal zone thanks to Rectified, high gain, and ultimate company. Frankly, just for that, the v-amp is worth it. And thanks to the pots bass / mid / tri / presence / gain / reverb, I really feel like using an amp.

Some are excellent reverbs (spring reverb, I love). Effects (chorus, phaser, flanger) are very good and are not too 'electronic'

This little trick and really the top to Register ... I plug in my sound card and presto, it works and the best part is that it sounds thanks to HP simulators.

Finally, very good point on the signal / noise ratio.

OVERALL OPINION

Voila ... I've had a molis and I can say that I am not disappointed by this little v_amp2. The value for money is unbeatable. For that alone, I put a 9. Yes it has its flaws, but I think that each device of this type also (eg the price of some ...).

What I love most: the feeling of using a real amp.
What I like less: the loading time between two sounds ... frankly painful at times
What I like to have: more buttons to avoid using two buttons at once.

Since I have, I put my MT and I rarely use my amp to shit me rotten sound. I use so I plug in headphones or on my channel (do not worry, it encaise well distos full of big bass and treble).

A consultant to all, including those seeking to start a multi purpose, except those who want wahwah. Although it is possible to add an expression pedal, the price of the pedal is so high that it is not worth the time. To these people there are two possibilities: either buy a separate wah pedal, or take the little korg (1000 I think) that contains a pedal. But in this case, you lose the quality of the vamp

In conclusion, it should be remembered that the v-amp is a multi effects but an amp simulator. I would say that the effects are just a bonus. For the price, do not deprive yourself!

Well it will be understood, this is an amp simulator similar to clebre POD did not think that any time soon .... dTRON error!
Modlisation rather Fidler for sounds in distortion / crunch. Clean sounds a bit limited ....
Everything is on a PC via ditable MIDI and a little app that fishing on the net and I speak after the rvolution because it is the!

UTILIZATION

Sounds very easy plant are properly calibrated, a small reading the manual is needed to tweak their own patches.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are faithful their names.
My config Password: Lag Boss ME6 + the blues + VS100HR Marshall (in other words a small truck to move all a. ..)
My current config: Lag The Blues + + V-Amp ... c and not all! and everything is in my 206! What a joy!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this bug for 1 year, I've added a MIDI foot controller, behringer home to make it more easy in live. I hallucinated by downloading the models of 'sounds' on the Behringer site and all too easy by downloading the file in the blue thingy, a ring !!!!! Proof: I use my Marshall virtually no yet gave me so much happiness! And a funny little story: when I repeated, and I euhh hacks a little blue thingy, a guy came and told me 'c koi that stuff? Your sound Bertignac but spell o? I have a VOX AC30 and an SG and I never Russia to the EC! "

KOR

CHARACTERISTICS trs compltent see description.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple to use studio, especially with the latest software for computer control of the bte tlchargeable free on the Behringer site. The edition is trs sounds intuitive and simple to implement. Only downside utlisation the two buttons simultanment to change a parameter, and no time value for rglage tempos (bp over thanks to the software control). Less convenient to play on scnes, its true place is in a studio.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects of good quality rverbs beautiful and large, delay and modulation without rglages utlise be ready or nearly so. The distortions are full and trsralistes MODELS from the amp they imitate. Respect the MODELS gain amp (no sound on the type mtal Fender Twin Reverb). Warning against by the gain on the amp modlisation a clear trend, because we get a sound less and less prcis slamming.
I use it with diffrent guitars: Fender Strato, Peavey Eddie Van Halen, US Steinberger, Yamaha AES 800, Fender Telecoustic and guitars for the most part cites Di Marzio pickups (Tone Zone, YJM, specially custom, etc ... Go Steeve
My favorite preset on modern Hi Gain, 4 X 12, 5 rverb and delay, and c for the tapping party ............

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, I possde of Boss pedals, Marshall. I had and use multiple effects and pdalier, Boss ME-33 Boss GT-6, 4040 ZOOM, ZOOM GFX 8, Digitech, TC Electronics G-Major, Korg AX 1500 G, Art, ADA MP1 and MP2 etc. ... The Behringer V-amp for the price is a imcroyable machine which takes a bit of all these machines and to allow guitarists or confirmed amateurs create their own sounds that can not afford to have a twin, of a Rectifier, one Roland, an Engel ....

32 amp simulations with Soldano, Fuzz, etc ...
15 simulations of HP.
16 effects, including self Wah-Wah, Compressor, Chorus, Echo, Delay, etc. ....
Adjustable Gate + tuner.

S / N ratio of 90 dB ...
Analogue / digital / analog.

1 headphone, 2 balanced line outputs ..

Foot Switch 2 buttons

UTILIZATION

Getting started not very obvious at first but I'm not
very good I must say ^ / / ^!
I spell better with the V-Amp Design software 1.2 download
the site of Behringer ... http://www.behringer.com/

SOUND QUALITY

Of his fabulous quaned it falls on the right set ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since January 2004. I love the sounds I can get along with,
although I often struggle to effectively use the noise gate: ^ /!
This is my first multi-effects. I ordered it to € 139 in Hugoceps (http://www.hugoceps.com)
so I think having a great deal ^ o ^!

http://www.aremus.com/produit.asp?dep=&pid=887&aid=2564&uid=040205214212824230373
So much for the product description which is also very complete.
Carrying case and pedal provided a "serial".
It is well to buy a MIDI cable to be found in supermarkets to take advantage of the beast.
It is not to transfer presets and that's excellent.
(Cf. below)

UTILIZATION

The most is that creates a sound with the logciel pc is that happiness is fairly simple.
There are tons of presets available on the net and in addition there is a software comvertir presets presets in the pod v-amp 2.
The least, the manual leaves three and a half to complete a product as we would have liked more explanation because if you experience no effects galley is enough to understand everything about how to rule the beast itself ...
To use the beast, a twin or a sound if it blah and that's very boring.
I find the record sufficiently constrain (Fautré I say a pc and cubase and sound show serious distortion c chelou, but that's a blow on my pc ...)

SOUND QUALITY

The effects included are pretty good, but the great interest is being able to add presets according to these musical tastes.
The custom distos are rather convincing. I use little clean sound but nothing else matters is a wonder ...
The effects are generally good (at least those which I used).
the tap tempo delay in the solos, the fact serious ca ...
The wah is pleasantly correct for a modeler, I mean for a modeler ...
Although some (rare) use the presets really

OVERALL OPINION

I use the v-amp some me now and I do not regret my purchase.
The only real problem is the twin or the sound system to enjoy its plains.
Otherwise it's perfect, I do not regret my purchase.
We find the v-amp 2 150 pretty easily.

Srement it all, I dunno, I'm not a guitarist.

UTILIZATION

A lot of knobs your checks directly to rglages is practical and fast.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, no, frankly, not worth a POD. To have used the two as ING's, I refer the V-Amp directos behind the scenes!
The attack was drowned, The definition is filthy, it's a galre out of the mix without a scratch cover other instruments. Play alone, the guitar is bleuffante is true. The sound parat standard, it's flattering. But useless in most cases. What shocked me is that it compltement contrast to the POD. One branch, you can play, the volume rises and skyscrapers includes himself alone in the mix without having to do any editing.
With the V-Amp, you spend your time touching the volume. And even the guitarist complained to disagree in the back while he is dj stronger than all others. It does not happen with a POD.

OVERALL OPINION

If you want to play alone in your chanmbre is the trick for you. For a more srieuse, go your way.
I have no shares in Line6 but no one has made the diffrence in my studio recordings between POD and a real amp (and certainly not the guitarists who have recorded not long be bewitched s with this little bean, leaving ct their personal amp!).

Numerical simulation of amplifiers and HP + effects (delay, chorus, auto wah, reverb, saturation, distortion, flanger, compressor ...)
125 presets can be edited on PC and Mac via MIDI.
Footswitch (2 pedals)

UTILIZATION

Contrary to what I was told, I found the V-Amp 2 a disconcerting ease of use (perhaps because I've worked on a multi-purpose Zommer before).
The manual is French, for cons, too brief. The English version is more complete.
Editing sounds via the PC (MIDI port) is simple, despite a lack of explanation of aid (note that the software can be downloaded from net). Yet I am not a pro, and I went out (with surprise) pretty good!

SOUND QUALITY

I use the V-Amp 2 connected directly to the table with a Strato and a Les Paul.
Sounds and effects are striking. But there are so many possible parameters (between the amp and HP) that is quickly overwhelmed!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month This now and I'm very happy for now.
The downside, I think, is that the housing is plastic and does not seem very strong. The pedal may not be very suitable for rapid changes in sound ... but hey, it's a habit.
I tried the POD II is also excellent, probably stronger ... but it is not the same price!

In summary, I think it's an excellent price / quality ratio.

Good amp simulator it seems ... Well actually, everything looks a little, the sound is unreasonable and I who plays electro-acoustic INTERESTED nothing because there is that the saturation ... The clean is pathetic
The outputs are intrssantes but if you want to use it live, a good old 80 euros zoom does the job ...
The effects are somewhat useless ... paramtrables doncc Lemusicien demand and loves CONTRL can go his way, if c for fun in his room, IDAL c! But hey, when you know you are much better on software Lenet, there may be economy of the V-amp

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use manual a bit limited, but hey, trs c c instinctive and well ... Again, while the use dpend you want to do

SOUND QUALITY

Really not good ... I have a stratacoustic scne and has made nothing! Avecmon zoom, I have more power, less wind and more opportunities ... The effects are not paramtrables and amps beuark!! that of saturated and cleans sounds are limits!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week and I reported to the store! What dception ... Fun with one hour and then we realize that the sound is zero, which is limited and does nothing to ... In any case with an electro ... Behringer habitu me much better and frankly, with my zoom 90 euros I have a hell of a ... Prfre I invest in one or two pedals ... I do not know what is worth with an electric but with electro, c not worth it! For leprix, buy a Line 6 Pod Cplus expensive but the Claque WAF! The quality has a price, c on now!
I compared my own, I do not want to do more as a scne brings me nothing to the contrary. For s'clater home c to the headphone great, but if you want more, c not worth it. For the price of buying an amp t'vite, c sure, but if you want something safe for recording or scne ...
So iune machine recommended for beginners considering the price but for the most "pro", dropped the case!

It's an amp simulator, for more CHARACTERISTICS compltes, see below.

UTILIZATION

The same device it has lots of features, but unfortunately the manual is not complete or trs clear on some points. So that one must look a little self-same.

Finally, turn the knobs, the buttons are pressed and we finally understood!

SOUND QUALITY

So then ... Personal beginners to have a max ttonn: some sounds taient draft, other inaudible, other taient most enjoyable ... Factory presets what ...

I took my courage with both hands and started quietly turning each knob and costs The Difference. APRS and finally a little time I have russi "sound" that I wanted. Subsequently, I took the time to try the other diffrent simulations available in this machine and I gniale is my small library of sounds which I am happy trs.

Cot effects, apart the delay, up Submitted I did not use much. I prfre recording process sounds with my plug-ins.

Regarding the problem of mix, I must say that I never really had big problems to mix the sounds of v-amp with the rest of my compositions. In most cases, the real problem came from the mix gnral in itself!

OVERALL OPINION

For now, I use the v-amp in home studio to record my guitars (I'll try it with my ending for low, that your exact parat is not bad at all ) and I'm glad trs.

I also use the "preamp" and save only the sound of the guitar simulation without any force or effect and then rework it with plug-ins such as Amplitube and Trash is trs INTERESTED!

Cot competition, many times I had the opportunity to DMOS Listen to the Line 6 POD and I find the sound of the v-amp more alive, more organic ...

Otherwise, the report qualitprix for me is excellent! For 149 (Thomann) was a machine that does its job but (like all machines) requires that spends a minimum time to learn to use it properly as desired.

I would do without this choice hsiter!

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

Is it still useful to present it??
boiboite this has many followers and furious rétissants (for furious pod!).
Good to be quick, there are 32 simultaneous famous amp (Mesa Boogie, Fender Marschall ...), more than 15 simulations of speakers, and several types of effects: delay, echo, reverb, noise gate, auto wah, flanger, tremolo phaser, chorus, compression, rotary table tennis and some combinations ...). 125 programmable tracks.

All in a pretty cool box of the shape and color but quite fragile for my taste (because plastic!) Of potentiometer LED very nice. Output stereo, Midi In / out, headphone jack, an entry.
It's not rocket science but at first glance, there's plenty to do ...

A small complete package including ADAPTER, pedal and a bag is very convenient to carry. More controllable pc.

UTILIZATION

The first grip is very easy but the demand still flying a little practice and you need both hands to adjust certain effects. .
Especially planning a gym fingers to manipulate ...
The unit is very easy to navigate even without reading the manual (not very full for that matter!). Connected by one against the other pc is very convenient

Nothing to add more compared to my predecessors!

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are of good quality but then to say that the simulations are very loyal to or better than the pod, I do not know. But why? the sound quality and diversity make it a very effective tool but also fiercely competitive.
Do not the sound of death that kills his race, because we can distinguish sound too digital for several simus and not finding the character of your guitar!
Sounds crunch drive, drive over-saturated, fuzz and metal are far from disappointing. The small catch back to the clean sounds a bit too monotonous and must be corrected (by increasing the gain eg. With the compressor on the reverb or delay it draws good things, I assure you ...).
I recommend Soldano sound that sends a monster mash!

The effects are generally reasonable, with a nod to the delay, compressseur.
A small flat against by some not so good sounding reverb.
small problem as the choice of speakers because I think only 5 of 15 sound right!

Patches of plants in general are pretty cool but not very faithful. but the real treat is to make your own patches because the combinations are huge.
But very few sounds really won me to use with my group.

OVERALL OPINION

Here is one and a half that I use and after a high enthusiasm of the first month and extending to the ear or other real amp modeler. We realize that the value for money is excellent but to register, it is not convincing and the level of the scene is not terrible.Et that's his problem he does things well almost .. .
Even if Behgringer is proud to offer 32 models, we ultimately nsert than four or five amp simulations!
Recommended for beginners who want to lower cost, and you learn about a wide range of sounds to see what real stuff to move.
Even if I seem a little cold towards the Vamp, I was glad because at least it can cost to have fun like crazy when you're young.
The product is very competitive (about 180 euros)

I can highly recommend it!
