BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO
4. PRESETS OF THE BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO
Naturally, your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is in its best
shape when its bass parts are immortalized on an analog or
digital recording medium. Its advantages are most apparent when
used in recording situations. Your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP
PRO gives you unsurpassed flexibility because you can simply
take it with you into the control room and forget all about having
to use speakers. This way, you have the best control of the
sound of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO at all times.
If you realize that you have to change the signal on the mixing
console, you can work with the tone engineer on your sound so
that the recording is done optimally, capturing your sound the
way you want it. Simply put: no annoying back-and-forth trips
between studio and control room.
3.3 Recording situation
Depending on the recording situation and the desired effect,
all studio modes come into play (S1, S2 und S3). While S1 carries
the complete signal (including all amps, speakers and effects
simulations) in stereo, S2 produces two mono signals, whereby
the right output contains the signals with all the simulations,
while the left output without the effects. A typical home recording
setup is shown in fig. 1.3.
S3 serves the purpose of recording a fully unprocessed signal
(right output) and still hear it with all the effects applied (left
output). Since the BASS V-AMP PRO has an additional PRE DSP
INSERT, this operating mode (known as “Re-Amping”) is possible
in every output mode (see fig. 2.5 and 2.6). Figure 2.6 describes
the possibility of recording the direct signal via an analog sound
card input and simultaneously recording the completely processed
signal. Should the sound of your mix require reworking, you
don’t have to bring the signal in again, since the direct signal is
still available.
In the case of the BASS V-AMP PRO, you can directly feed a
digital mixing console (our BEHRINGER DDX3216 in this
illustration). The unit can be externally synchronized via
worldclock (fig. 2.5).
3.4 Live setup with a connection to an
external bass amplifier
The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is naturally in top form
when it is used as a preamp in connection with an external bass
amplifer. In the case of the BASS V-AMP, it is advisable to connect
your bass amp via the L/AMP OUT output, while the R/DI OUT
output is used to connect to the mixing console or the stage box
(fig. 1.6 and 2.3). Connecting the BASS V-AMP PRO to a mixing
console should be done via the ULTRA-G DI OUT output.
The advantage of this application: You are ultra-flexible, since
you can set up the necessary monitor volume/tone needed for
the stage directly on the external bass amplifier, and at the same
time utilize the various sound options of the BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO. When you use the R/DI output of the
BASS V-AMP to control your mixing console, the front mix
benefits from the unique sound achieved by the BASS V-AMP,
which is optimized for P.A. applications by virtue of utilizing the
equalizer in the channel strip of the mixing console.
 In the case of the BASS V-AMP, selecting studio 3
(S3) and connecting Line Out R with Aux In L lets
you bring the direct signal in addition to the output
signal by using the aux control.
 When you connect line out L with aux in R (plug
plugged in half-way) in S3 mode, you can add the
direct signal to the effect signal.
 Avoid connecting line out L to aux in L as well as
line out R and aux in R, as feedback may occur.
4. PRESETS OF THE BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO
The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO features 125 rewritable
presets, divided into 25 banks. Therefore, there are five presets
per preset bank. Each preset consists of a maximum of five
“ingredients”:
V the simulation of an amplifier (incl. GAIN, EQ and VOLUME
settings),
V the loudspeaker simulation,
V a “pre-amp” effect (e.g. Denoiser, Auto Wah, Wah Wah),
V a “post-amp” multi effect (e.g. stereo delay, modulation
effect or a combination of both) and
V the compressor setting.
An overview of all presets of your BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO is included with this user’s manual.
