anyone heard of it or used it before? i am thinking of getting 1 today but i am unsure it i can use it for a multi effect. i dont really do much recording but i am intending to use it direct into ampsfor gigs and stuff.

what do u think?

i dont know about the v amp 2 but i bought an x-vamp floor pedal and it can be used as amp simulator or as an effect unit or both

I have one...and a lot of people around here use them. Check out mine and EJ's song in the monthly contest this month "Electric Chair" It was done 100% with V-amps.

cool, i guess i will get it to use as a gig effect.

Just out of curiousity scott......... what kinda amp were you using live? And did you just run the v-amp through the front of the amp? And what was your amps EQ set to?

I actually got mine from VHfan, and I love it. My recordings sound so much better with the VAmp than ever before. On stage I use a Marshall 50 watt half stack. I'm not much into effects on stage except a Phaser and Cry Baby, but the VAmp's recording capabilities are what I primarily use it for [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

I used my Fender twin amp,, and ran mine stright into front of the amp..I set my bass to about 4,, treble about 5 ,, mid set to 2 or 3,, and presence was up,,, and changed the cabinet settings to my desireable sound,, and had really dam good sound.. when i was jamming with the last band i was in,, tried my korg,, zoom ,, and some other pedals,, and the behringer did the trick for me.

Dude. You can't go wrong at that price. I have one and a POD XT..both have their strong points...through an amp, it gives a one channel amp another dimention with the footswitch...It's a worthy deal...not the best jack of all trades, but it is worth every bit of the money.

i read that the connection for the v amp is actually a midi? i dont have a midi port.and i dont wanna fork extra cash for a midi port. is there any other way that i can connect to my laptop?

**Dutch** · 06-14-2004, 09:15 PM

i use a laptop. all the hardware is internal. by the way, i also read that the battery adapter spoils very easily. it that true? anyway, what kinda adaps do they use? the average pedal ones?

**Dutch** · 06-14-2004, 09:46 PM

u mean the v amp? there is an adapter included if u buy it [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] and laptops do have soundcards [img]images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]( if u want to use it for recording offcourse bc for editing u will need midi ( joystick input on ur computer and a midi cable will do the job)

laptopdo have soundcards. but they are inside the com. cant connect direct. whereas, is there a way such as i can use a cable converter instead? not sure thought. the only ports on my com are the usb, mic in, mic out and the printer ports.
