V-AMPIRE LX1200H/LX210
BRIT CLASS A: This simulation is modeled on the Vox AC 30. This amp was originally designed in the ’60s when guitarists wanted amps with enhanced brilliance, a feature that Vox successfully implemented by means of “revolutionary” bass and treble controls. Brian May and U2’s The Edge are probably the
NON TOP BOOST: This is a Vox AC 30 as used by Bryan Adams in the recording studio. Unlike the
BRIT CLASSIC: Based on a 1959 Marshall Plexi 100 Watt, this amp is ideal for producing clean sounds. It was used by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.
CLASSIC 50 W: This is also a Plexi, but we have extensively widened its sound range. The sound controls on the original Marshall Plexi 50 Watt hardly had any effect on the sound if distortion was high.
BRIT HI GAIN: Compare this model with a Marshall JCM 800. Although the original was renowned mainly for its distorted sounds, this amp also sounds very good with low gain settings. It’s good at reproducing Steve Ray Vaughan’s and Michael Landau’s sounds. In distortion mode it sounds like Gary Moore in his early days, but it’s also good for heavy metal.
BRITISH CLASS A 15 W: Another Vox model, based on the first channel of an AC 15 from 1960. Unlike the AC 30 this amp had only one 12" speaker, instead of two, and produced a warmer sound. Tip: to make this simulation sound as authentically as possible, leave the BASS and MID controls in
RECTIFIED HI GAIN: This model is based on a 1994 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier
RECTIFIED HEAD: This simulation is modeled on a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier top. Unlike the
MODERN HI GAIN: Here, too, the tone control is

FUZZ BOX: This sound is not actually based on any one amp, but on a particular fuzz box. Jimi Hendrix was one of the first guitarists to recognize the potential in this legendary broadband transistor distortion. The humming distortion sound of the FUZZ BOX has returned to popularity with Alternative Rock and Grunge.
CUSTOM HI GAIN: This sound goes back to a 1969

CALIFORNIA DRIVE: Based on the Mesa Boogie Mark II c, this is purely a simulation of its drive
CRUNCH
CUSTOM DRIVE: This simulates the Dumble Overdrive

CALIFORNIA CLEAN: This model is based on the clean channel of the Mesa Boogie Mark II c. It sounds a little like a Fender, but has more of a punch in the
TUBE PREAMP: Sound engineers were quick to recognize the appeal of tubes. They used tube amps to add warmth to all kinds of sounds. This amp model is not only for refining guitar sounds. Try putting a vocal track through the
CUSTOM CLEAN: This simulation is of the clean channel on our Dumble amp. A clean sound that really cuts through, especially when used with compressor attack settings around 2 ms.
PREAMP BYPASS: In this setting, no amp simulation is se- lected. This makes it possible, for example, to play through an external guitar preamp and only use the effects or the speaker simulation. To activate the PREAMP BYPASS, press TAP and
