"Too much fun for what it costs"
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. 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. 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. 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. Manufacturer 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. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

"Cheap and Nice! Don't listen to Behringer haters"
Sound: Some bass amp models are pretty good, some not, but in general not bad. Effects are good, I like the Ultrabass, but the drive pedals are horrible. Don't buy this if you're looking for overdriven sound, this is the reason why I will be upgrading to a POD soon. Feature: Besides good bass amps it also has some guitar, keyboards and vocal amps/preamps. I used the guitar amps once and they sound ok for rehearsal but never depend on it for live shows. It's a huge plus that it comes with the gigbag and the footswitch. I don't worry about the fact that it's plastic, I take care of my stuff. Not having an XLR output is no big issue for me, it works well for direct to PA connections with an unbalanced out anyway Ease of Use: Very easy to use, with one quick run through the manual you're ready to go. It's only kinda a pain in the butt when you have to keep the tap button pressed to access second parameters on effects and amps. I like to be playing while I tweak, and it becomes pretty hard when you have to tweak with both hands because you have to hold the tap button. Quality: Mine turned out great. No problems and will be taking it on the road Value: For what it costs, it's definitely the best you can get. It wouldn't be worth it if it cost a few more bucks though, then I would be close to the price range of a Bass POD and undoutedly the bass pod is much better than this. Manufacturer Support: Can't say, I have heard from other people that behringer does give good attention, but I haven't needed to yet The Wow Factor: I don't like the looks of this kidney-shaped thing, I bought it cause I couldn't find the rack version in my country. I love the looks on the rack version. Overall: This has and will prove useful for some time, but I will be upgrading to a Bass Pod Xt live in hopefully 2/3 months. If you're short on budget or you're starting to learn to play the bass get this, it will help a lot. But if you wanna get serious (and want to avoid the whole amp/pedals setup) get a Pod or a boss gt-10b/6b
