"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.

"The Behringer Bass V-amp is the best value for the money!!"

Feature:
There are plenty of features and sounds to choose from. The effects are also extremely good. I can't belive that Behringer can put all these features into this box for such a low price.

Quality:
I only took off a point because of the plastic casing. However, I take good care of my stuff so I don't think that I'll have a problem there. It seems to be very well made and laid out.

Value:
I compared the features of this vs. the Bass POD. The Bass V-Amp has all the features (and then some) at half the price. Since I also play guitar and a "very little" keyboard, I like the fact that there are some amp and cabinet choices available for them as well. with the I saved on this, I can either pick up the V-amp 2 or the MDX4600 Multicom Pro XL Processor.

Desirability:
I wanted it as soon as I read about the features and saw the price. That's why I bought it.

Sound:
This little box is great! The variety of amp and cabinet sounds that you can get with this is amazing. I've used it in both recording and live settings and was not disappointed with the results. The pre-sets are very usable.

Support:
Haven't been in contact with them.

Overall:
I like he fact that you can add different presets, tones, etc. from Behringer's V-amp website so that it pretty much won't grow old. As I mentioned before, I compared this to the Line 6 Bass POD, latest Boss pedal, Digitech, Zoom pedals and found this to be the best value out there.
