V-AMP 2

2.3 Recording

A widely used recording application is to make a “dry” recording of the output signal while monitoring the signal with effects (“wet”). The advantage here is that you don’t have to make a final decision on what effect to use during mix-down. For this purpose connect the left output of the V-AMP 2 to the recording device, and use the right output for monitoring.

If you have a MIDI foot controller, you can use it to control preset, bank and amp model changes. It’s also convenient for switching the tuner on and off.

2.4 Live set-up with an external guitar amp

When you’re playing on stage it’s extremely important that you are able to hear your guitar properly. It’s an advantage to use a guitar amp with a line input, like the BEHRINGER BLUE DEVIL GX112. Apart from that, the amp used should provide enough power to reproduce the V-AMP 2’s sound potential to the full.
