If a lack of money and fl oor space is all 

that’s been standing between you and 
a home recording studio full of badass 
vintage guitar amps and eff ects pedals, 
get ready to love the V-AMP 3. This red 
rocker comes loaded with 32 amp models, 
15 speaker cabinet models and 16 classic 
eff ects. But that’s only the beginning—
you also get the UCA222 USB audio 
interface and free energyXT2.5 Compact 
software. In short, the V-AMP3 gives you 
the power to start recording a molten 
magnum opus in no time!

Hook the V-AMP3 up to your computer 

using the included ¼" TRS-to-RCA cable 
and UCA222 USB interface. Connect 
V-AMP3 Phones output with the stereo 
line inputs of UCA222, and switch its direct 
monitoring function on. Then connect 
the UCA222 USB cable to your computer. 
You can monitor the signal with the 
UCA222’s headphone jack. (This is also a 
great way to jam along with the MP3’s on 
your computer).

From there, the amazing energyXT2.5 

DAW (digital audio workstation) makes it 
easy to manipulate your audio and MIDI 
fi les, turning song ideas into stunning CD 
or web-ready recordings. energyXT2.5 
includes its own multi-FX processor, 
built-in synthesizers and a drum machine, 
both of which can be accessed by any 
controller keyboard, such as the UMA25S 
or UMX series, or programmed in 
step-write mode. To learn more about 
energyXT, or to download the demo,

The V-AMP 3’s 32 amp models are 

organized into four groups: CLEAN, 
BLUES, METAL and ROCK. Just twist the 
dedicated dial to plug into unbelievably 
authentic simulations of the greatest 
British and American tube amps from the 
1950s to today. You even get models of 
uncommon—yet renowned—boutique 
tube amps! When you select an amp 
model, a speaker cabinet model is 
automatically selected. But if you’d prefer a 
diff erent model, just go to EDIT>CABINETS, 
then use the BANK UP/DOWN buttons to 
navigate through all 15 options.

Just like on an actual guitar amp, 

you’ve got a three-band EQ, GAIN, 
REVERB, VOLUME and MASTER VOLUME 
dials. By holding the TAP button, the 
TREBLE dial becomes a PRESENCE 
control. This enables the adjustment 
of a high-frequency fi lter that can 
add or remove a ”shimmer“ from the 
V-AMP 3’s tone.
