FOREWORD

Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of

X V-AMP users, and

thank you very much for

expressing your confi-

dence in BEHRINGER by

purchasing the X V-AMP.

Writing this foreword

for you gives me great

pleasure, because it

represents the culmi-

nation of many months of

hard work delivered by

our engineering team to

achieve a very ambitious

goal: to present an

outstanding guitar multi-

effects floor unit whose

amazing functions offer

a maximum on flexibility

and performance. The task of designing our new X V-AMP

certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed

by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting

your expectations also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But

it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of

people together, and what a great feeling it is when all who

participated in such a project can be proud of what theyve

achieved.

It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because

you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.

With your highly competent suggestions for new products youve

made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making

it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality

as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely

reasonable price. All of this will let you give free rein to your

creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.

We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-

quality equipment at such unbelievably low prices. The answer

is quite simple: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers

mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing

terms for components, etc. Isnt it only fair to pass these benefits

on to you? Because we know that your success is our success

too!

I would like to thank all of you who have made the X V-AMP

possible. You have all made your own personal contributions,

from the developers to the many other employees at this company,

and to you, the BEHRINGER user.

My friends, its been worth the effort!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! By purchasing the X V-AMP, youve got your

hands on the latest-generation floor-based effects machine.

The X V-AMP gives you extensive options to create an

awesome stage show. The latest technology, simple and intuitive

operation and robust construction result in optimal performance

and dependability.

Your X V-AMP unites a selection of the best and most-liked

effects and amp simulations from our venerable V-AMP 2. These

effects and amp simulation can of course be edited and stored.

Additional features, such as compressor, noise gate and the

most current modulation effects, give you a maximum on flexibility

and let your creativity come to full expression.

1.1 Before you get started

Your X V-AMP was carefully packed at the factory to assure

it will survive the rigors of the road. If the cardboard packaging

looks like its been through a lot, please inspect the contents and

look for indications of damage.

In case your X V-AMP is damaged, DO NOT send it

directly to us. Instead, first notify the store where

you bought it as well as the carrier who made the

delivery. Otherwise, you may void your warranty.

Always make sure your X V-AMP gets enough air flow and

never put it near the heating or other heat-emitting equipment to

avoid damage to the device.

Power is delivered via the enclosed power supply. All requiered

safety precautions have been adhered to. As soon as you

connect the X V-AMP to the mains via the power supply, your

X V-AMP is automatically switched on.
