V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 FOREWORD Dear Customer, welcome to the team of BEHRINGER users, and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing this virtual guitar amplifier.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 1. INTRODUCTION 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS Congratulations! With the V-AMPIRE, V-AMP PRO and V-AMP 2 you have acquired an up-to-date guitar amp of the newest generation. Each one offers you a range of sonic posibilities as wide as your own imagination. On the added view sheet you will find the corresponding illustrations for all control elements. The numbering of most of the control elements is the same for all three products.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 s A: Accesses the MIDI functions. Use the arrow keys to set the MIDI channels (1 through 16) for transmitting and receiving MIDI data. If you use key A in EDIT mode to select the MIDI function and then press the TAP key, the MIDI OUT connector is set to act as a MIDI THRU. In this setting (the TAP LED is lit) no MIDI data is sent, but the device passes on the signal received at the MIDI IN connection. s + s MIDI Thru: The MIDI OUT connector can be set to act as A).
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 The LINE IN (V-AMP PRO only) switch determines which signal source is processed by the V-AMP PRO, either (switch not pressed) the signal applied at the highimpedance INPUT connector, for example, your guitar, or (switch pressed) the line signal connected to the PRE DSP INSERT (LINE IN, ). + + The POST DSP SEND (OUT) stereo output (V-AMP PRO only) allows you to connect the inputs of an external stereo effects device.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 a loudspeaker with 4 W of impedance and 120 Watts power. At the right output you may connect an 8 W/ 60 Watts speaker that runs together with the internal speaker. Two speakers with 8 W/60 Watts each can be connected to the outputs (the internal speaker automatically shuts off). Our ULTRASTACK BG412 series suits this application ideally.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 3.3.1 V-AMPIRE Not only does the V-AMPIRE has its own built-in speaker, which means you can plug in and play without further equipment, the V-AMPIRE also allows to connect a second external loudspeaker. Using the left speaker output mutes the internal speaker, diverting the full 120 W to the external 4 Ω speaker (see fig. 1.4). This makes sense particularly if the external speaker has a specific sound which cannot be recreated using the internal speaker.

V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 4.4 Discarding an edited preset/restoring a single factory preset If you have edited a preset and find that you dont like the edited version, you can, of course, discard it. Lets assume youve selected and then edited preset C (the corresponding LED has lit up), but you would now like to return to the configuration stored previously. Simply select another preset. The next time you call up the preset, the temporarily edited version is discarded.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 BRIT HI GAIN: Compare this model with a Marshall JCM 800. Although the original was renowned mainly for its distorted sounds, this amp also sounds very good with low gain settings. Its good at reproducing Steve Ray Vaughans and Michael Landaus sounds. In distortion mode it sounds like Gary Moore in his early days, but its also good for heavy metal. BRITISH CLASS A 15 W: Another Vox model, based on the first channel of an AC 15 from 1960.

V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 6.2 Effect descriptions The following section contains short descriptions of the effects that can be produced using the multi-effects processor. 6.2.4 Special effects COMPRESSOR: A compressor limits the dynamic range of the audio material, thus producing audible and creative sound effects. Pronounced use of the compressor (using the EFFECTS control) allows you to compress the overall dynamic range of the material. 6.2.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 It may happen, however, that a note is displayed as A but is actually slightly out of tune. This is shown by at least one of the four LEDs at the foot of the display lighting up. In certain cases even two of the LEDs may light up, which indicates that the pitch of the note played lies between the pitches represented by the two LEDs. When the circular tuner LED in the middle lights up, this means the note played is in tune. 8.
V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 8.4 AES/EBU and S/PDIF standards Fig. 8.4: Headphones connector 8.3 MIDI connections The MIDI standard (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) was developed in the early 80s to enable different makes of electronic instruments to communicate with each other. Over the years the range of MIDI applications has constantly expanded, and today it is standard practice to network entire recording studios using the MIDI standard.
