Use Live Mode 2 to run the V-AMP 3 into the effects return inputs of 2 different guitar amps. This configuration does not feature speaker simulation, allowing the amplifier’s natural speaker sound to go unaltered. In this scenario, the amps would be mic’d on stage to get the sound to the house speakers, and having a dedicated monitor would be less important.

The V-AMP 3 comes fully equipped to fit right into a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) setup. It can be controlled in real time from a computer, or via a MIDI foot controller during a live performance. Its MIDI connectors are international-standard 5-pin DIN connectors. You will need dedicated MIDI cables (not included).

The MIDI IN jack receives MIDI controller data. It can be adjusted in EDIT mode by pressing the A button and then using the arrow keys. MIDI OUT/THRU sends data to a computer. You can transmit both preset data and parameter changes. Some people even use the

V-AMP as a remote control for parameters of their DAW or VST instruments, which is more handy than using the mouse alone. If set to MIDI THRU, the V-AMP 3 does not send its own MIDI information, but passes on the signal received at the MIDI IN connector.

So much sound, so little hassle

It’s hard enough finding another virtual guitar amplifier with this much versatility, let alone one as economical as the V-AMP3. This go-anywhere, do-anything wonder will leave you reeling in your own creativity, with cash to spare for other gear you’ll need along the way to becoming a sonic titan both live and in your home studio.
