"The best amp for the money, every sound you want is there waiting to be coaxed out of it."

Feature:
This thing came with a foot switch that allows you to switch up and down within a bank of 5 amp settings. It is useful.

Quality:
I love this amp. It looks cool. I think that care needs to be taken if you had to move the amp around a lot as the knobs stick out about 9/16 of an inch. My amp sounds just as good if not better today than when I first got it over a year ago. I never move it, it just sits and looks purdy, so it looks like it just came out of the box.

Value:
For the sound I get and the 32 amps THIS IS A STEAL!!!!

Desirability:
To me this is a great looking amp, solid black and all those red lights. It is just a really cool looking amp, whether it is on or turned off, it just plain old looks cool.

Sound:
The sound of this amp is great. I only use this amp at my house but my neighbors 3 houses down say they can hear me playing and I have never set the volumn over half way up. I do have the Drive set to 1 on every amp setting. I think the effects are much better on the Behringer GMX 210.

Ease of Use:
If you spend the time to tweak each amp you can get great sounds. I have had mine for over a year and I have finally tweaked 22 banks of amp sounds just the way I want them. Having had this amp for this lone I have done a lot of changing on the sound and effect of each amp and finally have shaped each amp sound just the way I want it to sound. I left the last 3 at the factory setting as they have some really cool double effect sounds. Changing the sound is very simple, but the varity of nuances you can get for any amp you select is limited only to how much time you want to spend dialing in till you get that golden sound.

Support:
I have had some dealings with Behringer reps and I find them courtious and very very friendly. When I had a problem and had to contact them, I told them right off how much I liked my amp, gave a few details and asked them for their help and I got it immediately.

Overall:
This amp is all I need. It has all the amps I want, so I get all the sounds I want, and it is plenty loud, and clear. I love this amp and should it be lost I would get another one just like it. I do wish this thing had the effects package in it that is in the GMX 210, 99 editable effects. The combining of them with the 32 amps in the LX112 would be my dream amp.

"The truly great V-ampire"

Feature:
It is absolutely necessary to have the midi controller to access presets in live situations. The wah filter characteristics are too wide & make a bad wah sound. The volume pedal is great to control dynamics. I wish there was a 2x12 version of this thing. I can't for the life of me figure why Behringer did not do this. I want a portable, (read no 4x12 cab) setup. It could use just a bit more coverage power & 2x12 speakers to be perfection.

Quality:
I have been gigging this amp for 4 years running it at 2/3 to 3/4 volume. The only problem was a cmos battery that went dead (lost all the settings) It has been bulletproof, but i take care of it. The pots, (more accurately "encoders") have plastic shafts & will easily break so i built a 1/8" plywood cover. problem solved. It still looks & works like new.

Value:
Compared to the competition this was a no brainer. In all fairness I'm using the competitions modeling guitar, but for the amp I think It is the best value presently. The amp & controller are priced much less than the competition.

Desirability:
It looks nice, but i wish they would take the "ear" off their logo. Playing a Marshall is like driving a corvette, but then playing this V-Ampire sounds way more like the cover material we are trying to create. Forget about status symbols & be concerned with the way it sounds. This is so well done I believe all the amp companies will have an offering similar to it in short order. It is the future..now.

Sound:
The V-ampire is an Excellent value. I have used it gigging for the last 4 years. It takes a LONG time to get this thing where it is at, but it is worth it. Some of what I have learned, Run it in L2, turn off the cab models. The software to set it up is a must. Within the software it is easy to manipulate the drive,noise gate etc. which is almost impossible without it. Almost any sound can be emulated. It is powerful on its own. Last gig, the other guitarist told me I was too loud. He plays a tsl 100 & the bassist uses an SVT. The clean sounds are weaker than the overdriven ones but can be suppliented with the compressor. If the job is larger than about 200 people it needs to be miced. I do not like the way the direct outs sound live through the PA.although they are not bad for recording.

Ease of Use:
This is a digital modeling amp & the learning curve was long, but if one cares to take the time by reading the manual a few times, go to user groups and spend a lot of time with it, it will be worth the effort. I have about 8 amps that are heavy, one trick ponies that require all kinds of outboard stuff to get a palate of tones. This is one 48 Lb self contained unit that does it all. At $250 I dont know how they do it.

Support:
I needed a firmware update for the foot controller FCB1010 to make it work properly. Behringer was friendly & fast with a new chip & it has worked flawlessly since. How often does that happen any more.

Overall:
I cant find anything else quite like it for the $..... I keep looking at the website for the 2x12 150 watt version of this. If it disappeared, I would buy another immediately. If they could put a bit more volume in the clean models it would be welcome.
