BASS V-AMP LX1B/BASS V-AMP PRO LX1B PRO User Manual
1.  Introduction
Congratulations! By purchasing the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO, you have 
selected a modern virtual bass amplifier that sets new standards in the world of 
bass preamps. Our primary goal was to achieve the classic sound of bass amps by 
using “Physical Modeling” and implementing the newest DSP effects. 
Following the tremendous success of our V-AMP and its successor V-AMP 2, 
with the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO we are finally able to offer bass players 
the same diversity of sound.
However, we went a step further and expanded the concept to include items 
of interest to keyboarders and electric/acoustic guitar players. Those who 
have already used the V-AMP or the V-AMP 2 will appreciate the BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO as a terrific improvement.
We wanted to create two devices that would stir conversations in years to come: 
the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is universally usable and offers authentic 
amp and even speaker sounds—all this without having to transport heavy 
equipment! Additionally, the most modern multi-effects processors assure 
unprecedented tonal freedom. In short, the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO gives 
you a “sound machine” sporting the hottest features of the day.
Future EPROM updates will make sure your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO always 
has the latest software and features.
BEHRINGER is a company in the field of professional audio studio technology. 
We have been successfully developing products for live and studio 
applications for years. Among those are microphones and 19" gear of all kinds 
(compressors, enhancers, noise gates, tube processors, headphone amplifiers, 
digital effects units etc.), monitoring and PA loudspeakers as well as professional 
live and recording mixing consoles. Our entire technical know-how has gone into 
creating your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO.
To top it all, we worked together with professional bass players, whose sound 
suggestions led to the creation of original artist presets. Just a single glance at 
the separate preset sheet will be enough to completely amaze you.
Flexibility is what matters most in the music industry. Bass players should be able 
to offer a wide array of different sounds, and should also be able to temporarily 
adjust to the demands of home recording, studio and live applications. Bulky amp 
combinations are out of sync with today’s times precisely because of this reason. 
The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO offers you a maximum set of features in a 
compact unit that can be figured out in no time. 
But enough talking: Nothing will convince you more than the shear joy of what 
you will hear and feel the first time you play with your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP 
PRO. You will experience a latest-generation virtual bass amplifier with 
fascinating features:
Extreme sound variety and flexible output routing options for bass players
Multi effects, amp and loudspeaker simulations for keyboard players
Remarkably clean, high-gain sound and acoustic simulations for 
electric guitars
Sound enhancer for acoustic guitar sound pickup
Uncompromising loop/sampler function, super-phat analog bass synth and 
the best distortion pedal simulations.
1.1  Before you get started
The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO was carefully packed at the assembly plant to 
assure its secure transport. 
Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken 
place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications 
of damage.
◊ 
Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform 
the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well 
as the transportation company from which you took delivery. 
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place 
the  BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a 
heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
◊ 
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you 
have selected the correct voltage!
Power is supplied via the cable included with the unit. All requiered safety 
precautions have been adhered to. When you hook up your  BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO to the mains, the unit is automatically turned on.
◊ 
Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own 
protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or 
the unit itself.
MIDI connections (IN, OUT/THRU) use standard DIN plug-in connectors. 
Data transfer takes place via the dry-contact optical couplers. 
Additional information can be found in chapter 8 (“INSTALLATION”).

2.  Control Elements
An illustration of all control elements is located on the separate sheet included 
with this user’s manual. The controls on both devices are numbered the same 
way. How the two versions differ is clearly marked by using the designations 
“BASS V-AMP only” or “BASS V-AMP PRO only.” Connections on both versions are 
covered in a separate chapter in this user’s manual.
2.1  Unit top/front side
(1) 
Turn your BASS V-AMP PRO on using the POWER switch. The POWER switch 
should always be in the “Off“ position (depressed) whenever you first 
connect the unit to the mains. 
◊ 
Please note: Merely switching the unit off does not mean that it is fully 
disconnected from the mains (BASS V-AMP PRO only). When not using 
the unit for prolonged periods of time, please unplug the unit’s power 
cord from the wall.
(2) 
The GAIN control determines level and saturation charac-teristics of the 
amp simulation.
(3) 
The VOLUME control governs the volume of the selected preset.
(4) 
The BASS control on the EQ section lowers or elevates bass frequencies.
