V-AMPIRE LX1200H/LX210

3.4Studio recording/recording (LX1200H und LX210)

As with rehearsals at home or anywhere else, the V-AMPIRE can be connected directly to a mixing console or recording device via its XLR outputs. In addition, you can use the pre DSP insert send to record the same direct guitar signal without needing another DI-box for impedance adjustment.

In the studio you can raise the volume to take full advantage of the V-AMPIRE’s own sound. This can be of particular interest if you have a particular speaker cabinet with its own sonic character, or if acoustic feedback from the guitar speaker to the guitar is desired. For the first scenario, you will need to use a microphone to capture this special loudspeaker tonal quality. For the second scenario, you can directly feed the XLR output into the console without the feedback sound being gone. We recommend mode L2, with 3-band EQ but without digital speaker simulation.

4. PRESETS

Your V-AMPIRE features 125 overwritable presets divided into 25 banks. In other words, there are five presets available per bank. Each preset consists of a maximum of five “ingredients”:

samp simulation (including GAIN, EQ and VOLUME settings)

scabinet simulation

spre-amp effect, such as noise gate, compressor, auto wah and wah-wah

spost-amp multi-effect, such as delay, modulation effect, or a combination of both

sreverb effect

The enclosed sheet shows an overview of all the presets.

4.1 Calling up presets

When you power on your V-AMPIRE, it automatically loads the last used preset. In the following example, the last preset selected was preset D in bank 25:

In this case, by pressing button A, B, C or E you can immediately call up another preset of the same bank. The two arrow buttons (BANK UP and BANK DOWN) enable you to switch banks.

The display always shows which bank has been selected. When you switch banks, the preset has to be called up by pressing one of the buttons A - E. One LED lights up to show you which preset in the respective bank has been activated.

4.2 Editing presets

Editing presets is fast and simple. One option is to call up a preset you like and then start editing it. Select an amp model by means of the AMPS encoder. The LED on the preset button flashes (e.g. D) and signals that you have made a change to the preset.

Now change the settings of the VOLUME, BASS, MID, TREBLE and GAIN controls as you like. If you select an effect, you can adjust its ratio in the overall sound using the EFFECTS control. You then switch to EDIT mode by pressing the arrow buttons simultaneously. If you use buttons B - E to activate the DRIVE, CABINETS, REVERB and NOISE GATE functions respectively and then edit using the arrow buttons, the value of the respective parameter is shown in the display. To quit EDIT mode, briefly press the TUNER button.

If you hold the TAP button down while using the TREBLE control, you can raise or lower an additional high-frequency filter (PRESENCE). This simulates the frequency-dependent negative feedback of tube amps.

+Apart from compressor and auto wah, all the multi- effects have a speed-based parameter. Say you want to set the effect you’ve selected to the tempo of your playback: just tap the TAP button twice in time to the music and the effect tempo will match the tempo of your piece.
