You can connect both speaker outputs to an external stereo speaker arrangement, e.g. our BG412S. In this configuration the V-AMPIRE also delivers 2 x 60 W into 8 Ω per side (fig. 3.3).

Alternatively, just one external 8 Ω speaker may be connected to the right or left speaker output. This also represents a stereo configuration, because just the corresponding internal speaker is muted, the other one is still active (fig. 3.4).

3.3Rehearsal or recording at home (LX1200H und LX210)

When using headphones, the V-AMPIRE will switch into studio mode 1 (S1). This mode is particularly suitable for rehearsals or when recording/monitoring. You could also use live mode 1 (L1) which applies an additional 3-band EQ.

+When connecting headphones, the amp signal is automatically muted. Thus, if you unplug the headphones we strongly recommend to turn the MASTER control to the very left. The XLR output is independent of the MASTER control setting. This allows to tap into a line signal for recording purposes, even when MASTER control is set to minimum.

Using studio mode 2 (S2) at home can be a good idea when it comes to recording an amp sound without effects (“dry”) but monitoring it with effects (“wet”). Working this way, you are able to choose the effects you want later during mixdown. In this case you would route the left output to the soundcard of your computer and monitor the right output via your mixing console.

Figure 3.5 shows a typical home/rehearsal room application.

One advantage of rehearsing at home is that there is often a computer available which allows you to design, edit, send, receive and archive new presets comfortably and effectively. Download our V-AMP DESIGN software free of charge at www.v-amp.com. You can create your own presets even with minimum system requirements (Windows PC with MIDI interface or gameport MIDI adapter). On the V-AMP homepage you also find an online preset database (ULI, user library interface) with plenty of presets created by other V-AMP users and famous artists. Here, you can upload your own favorite presets and make them accessible for other users.
