Conceived and designed by 
BEHRINGER Germany

The V-AMP 3 gives you flanger, chorus, 

compression, delay and 12 other beautiful 
digital effects to apply to your sound. 
Adjust the effect’s level in the mix via the 
EFFECTS dial. To adjust effect parameters, 
you can  rhythmically press the TAP 
button to alter delay times or LFO speeds, 
or hold down the TAP button and twist 
the EFFECTS knob to access e.g. feedback 
or depth. By using a MIDI pedal, such as 
the BEHRINGER FCB1010, you can access 
an additional Wah Wah effect. You can 
adjust the filter characteristic by entering 
EDIT mode, selecting the DRIVE menu and 
turning the EFFECTS knob while holding 
the TAP button. 

All of these elements have been 

combined into 125 different presets 
divided into 25 banks, accessible through 
the BANK UP/BANK DOWN buttons. 
Within each bank, you can press buttons 
A through E to explore its different 
presets. You can also create and save your 
own presets. Start by selecting a preset, 
then making any changes you wish: 
amp, EQ, effect, etc. The preset LED will 
begin to flash, indicating that the V-AMP 
3 is ready to save your settings. To do this, 
hold the preset button down for about 
two seconds. Once the LED stops flashing, 
you have saved the modified preset.

On top of all this, the V-AMP 3 also 

features a built-in tuner and noise gate. 
In essence, it’s a Swiss Army Knife for the 
home recording enthusiast or gigging 
guitarist who can’t seem to settle 
on one amp.

The V-AMP 3 features several 

configurations that make it an 
invaluable asset in the studio. Access the 
configuration menu by pressing the 
B and D buttons at the same time. 
Then use BANK UP and BANK DOWN 
to select a configuration.

When using headphones, the V-AMP3 

will switch into Studio Mode 1 (S1). 
This stereo mode works well for both 
monitoring and recording with effects, 
amp and speaker modeling. It doesn’t 
apply the additional three-band EQ to the 
signal, but most recording programs have 
their own EQ.

In Studio Mode 2 (S2), the V-AMP 3 

sends a signal with amp and speaker 
simulation, but only the right output has 
effects. You can either record both left and 
right outputs to separate tracks, or record 
the “dry” left output while monitoring the 
right output.

The V-AMP 3 has three live 

configurations. When performing live 
with this device, you can either run it 
to an amp on stage, run directly to the 
mixing board, or both. Live Mode 1 is 
the best choice for running the outputs 
directly to the mixer, because it applies 
amp and speaker simulation, effects and 
an additional 3-band EQ. 

Use Live Mode 2 to run the V-AMP 

3 into the effects return inputs of 2 
different guitar amps. This configuration 
does not feature speaker simulation, 
allowing the amplifier’s natural speaker 
sound to go unaltered. In this scenario, 
the amps would be mic’d on stage to get 
the sound to the house speakers, and 
having a dedicated monitor would be 
less important.
