V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

On the added view sheet you will find the corresponding

illustrations for all control elements. The numbering of most of

the control elements is the same for all three products. Because

of the different design and some varying elements, the numbering

is not always consistent. We therefore marked those differences

adding a V-AMPIRE only, V-AMP PRO only or V-AMP 2 only.

2.1 Front panel/surface

Use the POWER switch to put the V-AMPIRE (rear) and

the V-AMP PRO (front) into operation. The POWER switch

should be in the off position (not pressed) if you want to

connect the device to the mains.

Attention: The POWER switch does not fully

disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the

power cord completely when the unit is not used

for prolonged periods of time.
The GAIN control determines the distortion level of an

amp simulation.
The VOLUME control determines the volume of the se-

lected preset.
The BASS control in the EQ section is for boosting or

cutting the low-frequency range.
The MID control is for boosting or cutting the mid-range

frequencies.
TREBLE controls the high-frequency range of the selected

preset.

The LED rings around the VOLUME, BASS, MID,

TREBLE, GAIN, EFFECTS MIX and REVERB controls

each have nine LEDs. On each ring either one LED or

two neighboring LEDs (in between positon) will light

up at a time, indicating a total of 17 different

positions.

If the TAP key

is down, the TREBLE control

functions as a PRESENCE control. This enables you

to boost/cut a high-frequency filter tuned to

whatever amp model is active, thus simulating the

frequency-dependent coupling of tube amps.
The AMPS control is for selecting one of 32 different

amplifier simulation models. The control is surrounded by a

ring of 16 LEDs. Each LED corresponds to two types of

amplifier. The first 16 simulations can be selected by turning

the AMPS control (V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2: white, V-AMPIRE:

black).
To select the simulation models 17 - 32 (V-AMP PRO/

V-AMP 2: gray, V-AMPIRE: white), press down the TAP

key while making your selection by turning the AMPS

control.

The LED 17 - 32 in the bottom left-hand corner of

the DISPLAY indicates that one of the simulation

models 17 - 32 has been selected.
In addition, you can activate a PREAMP BYPASS by

pressing the key combination TUNER

and TAP

. If

PREAMP BYPASS has been selected, none of the LEDs

on the AMPS control lights up. To disable PREAMP

BYPASS, simply select a different amp model or press

both keys again.
These five keys are for selecting a preset (A - E) within

one bank.
In EDIT mode (activated by simultaneously pressing the

arrow keys described in

), the keys perform the

function printed directly above them:

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! With the V-AMPIRE, V-AMP PRO and V-AMP 2

you have acquired an up-to-date guitar amp of the newest

generation. Each one offers you a range of sonic posibilities as

wide as your own imagination.

With the V-AMPIRE you own the new combo version of our

famous V-AMP 2. Its an allrounder with so many features that

you hardly need any other equipment.

The V-AMP PRO is the big brother of the V-AMP 2. Besides

the V-AMP 2 features, the PRO version offers digital output

signals and you can even select the output format. External

synchronization of your V-AMP PRO is possible via wordclock.

The V-AMP 2 is the revised and furtherly developed well-

known V-AMP model. With this modern virtual guitar amp we

have set a new standard. The V-AMP 2 offers 32 authentic amp

and even special loudspeaker cabinet sounds without the usual

transportation problems.

But enough of this talk: Nothing will convince you more than

what you hear and feel when you test your virtual amp for the

first time.

But ...

1.1 ... before you get started

The unit was carefully packed at the factory and the packaging

is designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless,

we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its

contents for any signs of physical damage which may have

occurred during transit.

If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to

BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping

company immediately. Otherwise, claims for

damage or replacement may not be granted.

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling

and, to avoid overheating, please do not place the device near

radiators etc.

Before you connect the unit to the mains, please

make sure that the voltage setting on the unit

matches the local voltage!

The mains connection of the V-AMP 2 is made by using the

enclosed power supply, which meets all of the international

safety certification requirements. As soon as the V-AMP 2 is

connected to the mains via its power supply, the unit is switched

on automatically.

Please make sure that all units have a proper

ground connection. For your own safety, never

remove or disable the ground conductor from the

unit or of the AC power cord. The unit shall always

be connected to the mains socket outlet with a

protective earthing connection.

The MIDI connections (IN, OUT/THRU) are for standard DIN

connectors. Data is transferred via ground-free opto-couplers.

Further information can be found in chapter 8 INSTALLATION.

1.1.1 Serial number

The serial number is located on the rear panel of your

V-AMPIRE/V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2. Please take the time to fill in

and return the warranty card within 14 days after the date of

purchase, so as to benefit from our extended warranty. Or
