x v-amp is a little toned down. Only like half the amp sims are available. As for the specifics between the two. I am not sure.

Thanx trey85stang,

I just test the xvamp today and finds out that it's not suitable for recording. Seems like it's lack of speaker simulation, and patch changes also got noticable delay (also not good for live gig).

As a result, I bought the Vamp 2. Can't wait to try it out tonight after work. . Shall be a long night for me today...

Wow...Great Amp simulator !! I start digging this baby from 9.00pm to 3.30am. Very impressive, but still searching for the right tone for me. Hoping will find some in near time. I tried at different sound source. Headphones, Computer Woofer, HiFi's, Old Radiogramme..Seems that all sound that produce from the V-Amp's suits for all sound source.

Today, I brought it to my rehearsal studio and everybody love it warmth sound. Plug it to the mixer and viola!!

One disappointment about it is the delay when switching from one amp to another amp. I use Tube Amp to get clean sound and Brit. Hi Gain for Heavy sound. The delay is termendously noticable.

One more, it lack of one function when using foot pedal. It lack of the function called 'bank hold'. The function holds the patches when switching from 1 patches to another and will change when pushing appropriate pedal [img]images/smilies/icon_cry.gif[/img].
(maybe will solve the problems when having 2 Vamps.)

1 more things to do, wanna try to use the amp simulator and mix & match with my old Boss stompbox & my Zoom 707gfx....gonna see what will comes out..

Anyway, thanx to all for the info about V-Amp 2 i found in this site.... It really helps me to make a good comparison in many stuff.

Got to get back to my new baby..

Cheers!!

I play through a 4x12 cab.. with the speaker sims turned off the delay is barely noticeable when switching. I would say at 160bpm it takes about the time of an 1/8th note to switch. Still a delay but not bad at all.

and as you probably know.. the same amp sim and the same speaker sim, there is no delay at all when switching
