V-AMP 2

Connect the enclosed power supply unit via the AC IN socket.

The balanced LINE OUT 1/4" sockets provide the audio signal from the V-AMP 2 in stereo, for example, for recording purposes.

You can connect the LINE OUT outputs with balanced or unbalanced jack plugs. The left line output of the V-AMP 2 can be used to route the audio signal to a guitar amp with a mono input. Please note that the signal from the multi-effects processor will then not be available in stereo either.

The AUX LEVEL control is used for determining the volume of the signal received at the AUX IN input.

The AUX IN jack socket enables you to feed in additional stereo signals on the V-AMP 2 and play with a drum computer or play-back, for example.

The PHONES jack allows you to monitor the V-AMP 2 audio signal with standard headphones.

When you connect your headphones, the V-AMP 2 automatically activates studio mode 1 (S1). If the current preset or setting does not have a cabinet model, the V-AMP 2 will also select a default speaker simulation automatically, as soon as you plug in your headphones. The standard cabinet simulations are shown in tab. 8.2. However, you can intentionally change or deactivate the simulation when using headphones by selecting “-” in the CABINETS mode.

The INPUT socket is the V-AMP 2’s 1/4" jack socket for your guitar. Please use a standard 1/4" mono jack cable.

2. EXAMPLES OF USE/CONFIGURATIONS

To adapt the V-AMP 2 best to different studio and live situations, you have a choice of five modes (CONFIGURATION). Regardless of the settings on the unit itself, these modes determine from where the V-AMP 2’s output signal is taken. And the left and right output signals can be used differently at the same time, too. One look at the following table will clearly show that you can optionally take the signal with or without speaker simulation or sound control at the V-AMP 2 output. The effects signal at the output does not necessarily have to be present on both sides either:
