Behringer V-Amp 2 Guitar Amp Modeling Processor

The next step in virtual amplification
Like the already legendary original V-AMP, the V-AMP 2 is based on state-of-the-art amp modeling technology, allowing you to achieve a wide variety of realistic amp sounds without the hassle of miking an amp. To that end, the V-AMP 2 now features twice as many amp models for 32 total, plus 15 original speaker simulations, which can be selected and activated independently of the amp models.

Features
32 amp and 15 speaker simulation models, independently selectable

High-resolution 24-bit stereo multi-effects processor

Separate wah-wah and reverb effects

Effective 3-band EQ with amp-model dependent characteristics

5 new configuration modes for various applications

Balanced stereo line out with speaker simulation plus stereo headphones out and stereo aux line in

Comprehensive MIDI implementation for real-time control, automation, data transfer and access to additional parameters

Dual footswitch, AC adapter, and carrying bag included

Read on: you'll see why the V-AMP 2 is suited for much more than just home recording or practice applications. For extra tone-shaping power, the V-AMP 2 boasts a built-in 24-bit studio-quality stereo effects unit with an impressive selection of specially developed, great-sounding algorithms, including chorus, tremolo, compression, noise gate, delay, and much more, plus several combinations. A separate manually or MIDI-controllable wah-wah effect and 9 stereo reverb types are available in combination with any other effect, amp, or speaker setting. In addition, 2 effects parameters are now directly accessible.

You still get an integrated chromatic tuner, a tap tempo function for real-time adjustment of the effect's speed parameter, an adjustable stereo aux input, a stereo line output with speaker simulation, an effective 3-band EQ with amp-model dependent characteristics, a master volume control, and an adjustable headphones output. Plus a MIDI interface for real-time remote control and automation, data transfer and access to additional parameters, and 125 onboard presets, organized in 25 banks and including 50 presets by renowned guitarists.

In addition, the V-AMP 2 features 5 practical configuration modes for various applications and a presence control that simulates the negative feedback of tube amps. Plus a new preamp bypass function that allows you to use the V-AMP 2 as a stereo effects unit and dramatically improved gate and noise reduction circuits for better sound quality and an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB.

Best of all, the V-AMP 2 is a breeze to operate, thanks to its unusually transparent user interface with dedicated controls for all essential settings. It comes with a dual footswitch for preset selection and tuner control plus an AC adapter in an attractive, durable carrying bag. Presets and freely downloadable V-AMP 2 editor software are available from Behringer as well.
