"madthom2's borrowed unit-10+"

Feature:
I need to learn about the MIDI and macintosh compatible features. I pure mac.

Quality:
Quality is great in my opinion-I don't think I have the manual-I borrowed it in the case and haven't emptied all yet. Time restraints.

Value:
I'm not sure the price. My friend said around $100. I paid more than that for good distortion, Chorus, Octave divider and so on. I don't know how you sell this cheap./ nice to know somebody out there isn't gouging money deprived musicians.

Desirability:
GREAT!

Sound:
I just borrowed this for a few weeks at a time (his band's backup). I was blown away. No more foot pedals. I used it on my circa ~'64 Fender Musicmaster which is my baby-I put in killer pickups and a strat bridge. I like this guitar better than my Strat. which also used it with. I'm still learning. I'm a Jazz trumpet player but record my own guitars and play a Guild fretless Bass (B-301) which I haven't had time to play thru this beauty yet. I see in comments something about MIDI and computer use. I'm waiting on my Apple software that was left out of my mac.powerbook so I can reload GarageBand. It utilizes lots of M-Audio stuff. I want to record my electric piano, guitars, bass and mic for my horns as soon as the software gets here. I already have the MIDI cable to USB-in but it's mainly for PCs. I am hoping the software for this MIDI cable already has the drivers installed as mac is so famous for. Rarely do you have to load any drivers for anything. I will definitely buy my own. This has already proved to be an indispensable tool for my home studio. Can you list or e-mail something about playing this thing 'thru the computer' as one of your writers put it. This is a 11+. LOVE IT! -madthom

Ease of Use:
Haven't tried the fretless bass or piano and vocal mic yet, but I expect the same WOW!

Support:
Don't know. Had and used it only couple days.

Overall:
This will last until there is a sound I need is cheaper to add a pedal than buying a newer, updated version.

"Too much fun for what it costs"

Feature:
With even a built in midi synth that you can play on a keyboard or sequencer and full midi control of the unit, what more could you ask for? Even a nice carrying bag and foot switch. Just the foot switch only does programs and won't switch banks. You need Behringer's midi pedal to do that and then you'll have a real wah pedal too. Or use something like an Oxygen8 to program it and play synth bass lines. This thing is just too cool. I added my own switch, pop cap, and polarized cord to the power supply.

Quality:
It's plastic, but it would probably weigh a ton if it was in a metal case. It's pretty hefty in plastic as it is. The knobs and encoders are quite solid and the connectors are quality.

Value:
This could be 100 here. The value is unreal. Off the scale.

Desirability:
The encoder lights are cool and they thought about users doing lots of tweaks and mods to it when they designed it. It is also very practical and alot of fun to use.

Sound:
It has the best amp sounds and speaker simulation, I think. The noise gate is a dream come true for single coils. Cuts the noise, but does not cut even the lightest picking. Also, the dynamic range is around 90 dB's which ain't too bad at all. The converters are 24 bit, but only 31250 sample rate. Below 44100 doesn't hurt it any though. I think it sounds awesome. Works for bass, keys, and guitar. And extremely well, too.

Ease of Use:
The distortions are kind of a pain to set from the box, but if you get the software to make your own presets, it's almost too easy.

Support:
Behringer has lots of stuff on-line to support the V-AMP's. If you have a programmer, Behringer even posts the bin code for eprom upgrades. You can use a 1M flash chip from an old socket 7 motherboard bios or modem to have a reprogrammable chip.

Overall:
I've had it for around 3 years now. I won't be giving it up any time soon. It's way too much fun to jam with on my computer and very versitile.
