Feb 8 2013, 04:33 PM	GMC:er Posts: 25.297 Joined: 23-December 09 From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA	I picked up a BEHRINGER V-AMP Version 2 for U.S. $30 just to check it out and see what they are like. Anybody else have one? In short, PROS 1.)Good Delays, Reverbs, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser. LIke having a bunch of decent stomp boxes in one Midi foot controlled package. 2.)Very Inexpensive. 3.)Built in Tuner. 4.)Functions as USB audio interfaces to computer. CONS 1.)Distortions are (IMHO) WEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAKKKKKK 2.)Gain saturation turns to mush past 6 o'clock. 3.)Minimal Pick articulation on lead settings.

Gotta agree with the pros and cons you listed. The V-Amp 1 had two bigger switches so I could use it live with my band, and it worked really great since I really just needed 5 presets.

You can then save that as a preset. Any midi footswitch can control it. For the price, the delay and modulation fx are hard to beat. Todd QUOTE (Jouve @ Feb 8 2013, 10:36 AM) That's nice one . Can you use the FX without the amp emulation? Tough to beat for the price!! The only place it falls down it high gain palm muting/djenty stuff. For regular rock guitar it sounds pretty darn spiff.

It was my first venture into Amp Modelling etc. I really liked some of the clean sounds, especially the 'American Blues' and 'Tweed Combo'! I agree with you that the FX side is very good, especially live! I used to use mine with a FCB controller. The Amp modelling sounds from one of these I found to be much better:- You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But BEWARE THE DISTORTIONS they were pretty underwhelming compared to the VST stuff I"m used to. They would work for power chords and such though. The real strength of the VAMP seems to be the FX on clean channel. So if you get one, I'd think about adding something else for the distortion. A distortion pedal, or some rack unit perhaps. The options are limitless until the budget comes in to play, and at that point things slim down quick.

Its a fun unit and I was able to get a slightly overdriven tone out of it that worked quite well on a song or two. Its so amazing how the prices drop so much when gear like this is around for a few years. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
