Tab. 3.1: Operating modes of the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO with application examples

Depending on the recording situation and the desired effect, all studio 

modes come into play (S1, S2 und S3). While S1 carries the complete signal 

(including all amps, speakers and effects simulations) in stereo, S2 produces 

two mono signals, whereby the right output contains the signals with all the 

simulations, while the left output without the effects. A typical home recording 

setup is shown in fig. 1.3.
S3 serves the purpose of recording a fully unprocessed signal (right output) 

and still hear it with all the effects applied (left output). Since the 

BASS V-AMP PRO has an additional PRE DSP INSERT, this operating mode 

(known as “Re-Amping”) is possible in every output mode (see fig. 2.5 and 2.6). 

Figure 2.6 describes the possibility of recording the direct signal via an analog 

sound card input and simultaneously recording the completely processed signal. 

Should the sound of your mix require reworking, you don’t have to bring the 

signal in again, since the direct signal is still available.
In the case of the BASS V-AMP PRO, you can directly feed a digital mixing 

console  (our BEHRINGER DDX3216 in this illustration). The unit can be externally 

synchronized via worldclock (fig. 2.5).

The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is naturally in top form when it is used 

as a preamp in connection with an external bass amplifer. In the case of the 

BASS V-AMP, it is advisable to connect your bass amp via the L/AMP OUT output, 

while the R/DI OUT output is used to connect to the mixing console or the stage 

box (fig. 1.6 and 2.3). Connecting the BASS V-AMP PRO to a mixing console should 

be done via the ULTRA-G DI OUT output.
The advantage of this application: You are ultra-flexible, since you can set up the 

necessary monitor volume/tone needed for the stage directly on the external 

bass amplifier, and at the same time utilize the various sound options of the 

BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO. When you use the R/DI output of the BASS V-AMP 

to control your mixing console, the front mix benefits from the unique sound 

achieved by the BASS V-AMP, which is optimized for P.A. applications by virtue of 

utilizing the equalizer in the channel strip of the mixing console. 

The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO features 125 rewritable presets, divided into 

25 banks. Therefore, there are five presets per preset bank. Each preset consists 

of a maximum of five “ingredients”:

the simulation of an amplifier (incl. GAIN, EQ and VOLUME settings),

the loudspeaker simulation,

a “pre-amp” effect (e.g. Denoiser, Auto Wah, Wah Wah),

a “post-amp” multi effect (e.g. stereo delay, modulation effect or a 

combination of both) and

the compressor setting.

An overview of all presets of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is included with 

this user’s manual.

The most recently used preset is automatically recalled each time you power the 

unit on. The following example in fig. 4.1 shows the BASS V-AMP: preset D in the 

25th bank was selected.
In this case you can press the keys A, B, C or E to recall a different preset of the 

same preset bank. You can select a different preset bank by pressing either one of 

the two arrow keys.
The display of the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO always shows which preset bank 

is selected. To recall a preset after selecting a different preset bank, press one of 

the A - E keys. Which preset from the respective bank is currectly active is always 

displayed in the key LED.

Fig. 4.1: Recalling presets

Editing presets on your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO is simple and quick to do. 

You can for example recall a preset in order to modify it. To do so, select a desired 

amp model by turning the AMPS control to the desired amp model. The preset 

key LED flashes (for example, D) and signals that you have edited a preset.
Now, modify the settings of the VOLUME, BASS, MID, TREBLE and GAIN controls. 

After having selected the desired effect by using the EFFECTS control, you can 

modify its part of the entire sound by using the EFFECTS MIX control.
