V-AMP 2

In modes L1, L2 and L3, the additional 3-band EQ is set with the BASS, MID and TREBLE controls. As this EQ works globally, it has no effect on the settings of these three controls from the preset programming.

If you plug in your headphones, the V-AMP 2 automatically selects S1 mode.

2.1 Selecting CONFIGURATION modes

Your V-AMP 2 left the factory set in Studio 1 (S1) mode. To change modes, you have to switch to CONFIGURATION mode. To do this, press buttons B and D simultaneously. You can switch from one mode to another by means of the arrow keys. To leave this mode, press TUNER.

2.2 Standard set-up with guitar, footswitch and external playback

For practising purposes set your V-AMP 2 up as shown in fig. 2.1, for example. You can of course also plug in a drum computer instead of a playback source, such as a tape deck. For silent practising plug your headphones into the PHONES jack. Use the FS112V footswitch supplied with the V-AMP 2 to switch from one bank to another or to activate the tuner.

Fig. 2.1: Standard set-up

For this application please select CONFIGURATION mode S1!

The V-AMP 2 is of course also ideally suited for recording your guitar parts for posterity, either on tape or digitally. The advantage of the V-AMP 2 in recording situations is obvious: it makes you ultra-flexible, because you can simply take the virtual amp with you into the studio control room without having to take along any speakers. This gives you complete control of the sound on your V-AMP 2 at all times. If you feel the sound on the mixer needs to be changed, you can discuss it with the sound engineer at once and together you can set the sound so that it is perfectly suited to the recording. In other words, no more hassle of trekking back and forward between the recording and control rooms.
