4.1 Recalling presets
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.

4.2 Editing 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.

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.

sound by using the EFFECTS MIX control.
To get into the EDIT mode, press both arrow keys
simultaneously. By using the keys B - E, you can activate
the DRIVE, CABINETS, X-OVER and DENOISER functions
respectively. You can then edit these functions by using the
arrow keys, and the respective parameters will be shown in the
display. To leave EDIT mode again, briefly press the TUNER key.

By turning the TREBLE control while the TAP key is pressed,
you can lower or increase an additional filter in the upper
frequency range (PRESENCE). This simulates the frequency-
dependant decoupling of tube amps.

With the exception of Compressor und Auto Wah,
there is a speed parameter present in all multi-
effects. Let’s say you want to adjust respective
effects according to the tempo of your playback.
Tap the TAP key twice in the tempo of your playback
and the tempo of the effect is automatically matched
to the tempo of your musical piece.

4.3 Saving user presets
To save your edits, keep the desired preset key pressed for
roughly two seconds. This will overwrite the previous settings
(the key LED lights constantly again).
(the key LED lights constantly again).
Of course, you don’t have to necessarily save your
preset in the location of the previously selected
preset. To save your preset elsewhere, press the
arrow keys (BANK UP and BANK DOWN) to get to the
desired preset bank. Then, you can save your
preset in the location of the previously selected
preset. To save your preset elsewhere, press the
arrow keys (BANK UP and BANK DOWN) to get to the
desired preset bank. Then, you can save your
preset by keeping the desired preset key pressed
for roughly two seconds. For example, you can edit
a preset located in preset bank five and location D
and save it in bank six and location A.
for roughly two seconds. For example, you can edit
a preset located in preset bank five and location D
and save it in bank six and location A.
4.4 Overriding edits/Restoring single factory
presets
You can of course undo an edit of a preset. Let’s say, you
selected preset C and edited it (key LED is blinking), but then you
want to revert to the previously saved configuration: Simply
select a different preset. Each time you recall a different preset,
unsaved edits from the current edit are lost. However, keeping
both arrow keys pressed after editing for so long until “Pr” appears
in the display recalls the factory preset that was originally at this
location. To activate this factory preset, you still have to save it
again by keeping the respective preset button for roughly two
seconds.

4.5 Restoring all factory presets
To restore all factory presets, do the following: keep keys D
and E pressed and only then power up your BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO. “CL” is shown in the display. Now, let go of
the D and E keys and simultaneously press both arrow keys.
This procedure overwrites all presets that you may have created
and restores all factory presets. How to save your presets
before restoring factory presets is explained under 8.4.1.

5. AMP/SPEAKER SIMULATION
The heart and soul of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO
are its amp/speaker simulations. 32 simulation models can
enormously ease the work at your home recording studio, because
you avoid having to mic an amp. With your BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO, you are in the position to simply choose an
amp that once wrote history, regardless of whether we are
talking funk, blues, heavy metal or any other musical style.
Moreover, you can freely modify the sound of the amp of your
choosing and virtually wire it up to one of the 23 simulated speaker
types (“cabinets”). Last but not least, you can enable a digital
effect and a preferred degree of compression for your virtual
amp (see chapter 4, “BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO
PRESETS”).

Powering up your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO
automatically loads the preset you used most recently. The LED
circle surrounding the AMPS control shows which amp is
currently selected: its respective LED is on. By turning the control,
you can select a different amp. To change the basic parameters
of the sound signal, use the VOLUME, BASS, MID, TREBLE and
GAIN controls. When the TAP key is pressed, the TREBLE control
assumes the function of lowering/increasing the PRESENCE filter
in the upper frequency range (see

As a rule, you first select an amp, then a cabinet and finally an
effect.
How to save your changes is described in chapter 4. To get a
better overview of the rich choice of amp simulations of the
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO, read the descriptions of various
amp types in the section below.

amp types in the section below.
When you select an amp simulation, a matching
speaker simulation is automatically selected (see
table 5.1). Otherwise, the authenticity of the sound
could suffer from a poorly selected speaker,
particularly when you use headphones. Of course,
you can select other cabinet simulations for the
respective amp type depending on your personal
preferences.
