Guitr777 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I just got a Behringer (please, do not throw rotten tomatoes...) V-Amp Pro rack mount processor with a MIDI foot controller. This thing is impressive. There is stereo DI (XLR) out, as well as unbalanced out, S-PDIF out (24/96), 3 "levels" of studio settings and 3 levels of live settings. This thing can store up to 125 presets, (it has 125 presets already loaded), there are two wah-wah/volume style footpedals, 10 preset activation pedal/buttons, 2 bank-select pedal/buttons, shloads of amp/speaker/effect combinations. AND, you can download presets from the Behringer website, which you can upload to the V-Amp via MIDI SysEx and their handy little V-Amp software tool. The software tool allows me to connect to the V-Amp with MIDI, make new presets, store them and upload them all from my laptop. This box is built like a tank and pretty as a Christmas tree with all of the lights! (Not that it matters what it looks like - that part is just extra gravy...) I played through it for the first time last night and many of the built-in presets are very good. The useful presets covered a lot of ground from nice rich clean tones to gritty blues and cranking guitar-star-solo-powerhouse type of stuff. And I got it all for about $200.00 brand spanking new. Just thought I would share. Say what you want about Behringer. I think that this stuff is quite a hefty bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robman2 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I hope it's not a Roland design... I still like my grainy 12 bit VG 8 but, the Rolandists, never "got it" as a rack mount I hear the VOX also is the ish... Sounds cool.

Fendercaster Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Where did you get it for $200 with the foot controller? Looks like it might be the solution for me.

Looks like it might be the solution for me. at THAT price it IS a toy , too bad it would cost me about 430 (thats way past $500) and that makes it way too expensive - due to recent cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been SWITCHED OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitr777 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Whoops! Guess I can't add... $149 for the V-amp Pro and $90 for the foot pedal. Still a pretty decent deal. Got them on eBay in separate auctions. Last night was the first I have used it with my band. This is the best live sound I've had in years!

Zweite Version Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 They sell it for $ 169,- at musicians friend , I was thinking about one too. I wonder how it compares to the Line6 'equivalent'.

I wonder how it compares to the Line6 'equivalent'. I cant speak about the Pro version but I do know that there is little between the V-Amp 2 and the Pod 2. The V-Amp series is incredible for the price you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendercaster Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I just got my V-Amp Pro Friday with the foot controller. I didn't have time to fool with it before our job Friday night, and I only had about five minutes to try it out before Saturday's job. I used it Saturday night, and it has some great presets right out of the box. I can't wait to tweak the patches I'll use, and create my own. Definitely the best sounding effects unit I've owned.
