Feature:
It has some nice features but it's to bad that the pedal cant be used for Wah.

Quality:
I dropped it few times seems to be working well.

Value:
Well, for newbies it's a good product for the price.

Sound:
Only sound i like of this product is clean, every other effect sucks + i dont understand how people record with this or play live? to switch from preset to preset it takes around 0.5 seconds which is alot on stage.

Ease of Use:
Manual is written very poorly, i figured out everything bymyself in few weeks of usage.

Support:
I did contact Behringer few times and i never got a reply, few months have gone by already.

Feature:
I bought a distortion pedal that was more than this thing. This thing is LOADED with features, but the beauty is, you don't need to use them if you don't want to. HOLY TONE.

Quality:
It's plastic, but uh, hello? It's around a hundred bucks!

Value:
I wish there was a higher rating than 10 for this. I used to have a ten space rack to get a great distortion sound and this thing MURDERS the tone I got out of that $5000 rig. Yes, really.

Desirability:
You should already have this in your cart. The end.

Sound:
I can't say enough about this little blue toy-looking thing. I record all my stuff direct from the V-Amp and it sounds absolutely phenomenal. My old guitar player had a $4000 Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier amp and this thing sounded better through his clean channel - much better - than his tube distortion full-tilt did. Yes, really.

Ease of Use:
Way easier to use than most processors. Way.

Support:
Never had to use it. That makes it a 10.

Overall:
I would literally never play through anything else again. I've been through maybe 20 guitar rigs, and nothing sounded even close to this. V-Amp 2 for life.

Feature:
As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, I have used this in several applications that they DON'T tell you it can do.

Quality:
I've had it for over a year; not a lick of trouble!

Value:
Bang for buck, as a recording device, the best out there.

Desirability:
I own it!

Sound:
HIGHLY usable sounds; with a product such as this, it really DOES come down to your chops. I've been a player for over 40 years, and as a recording tool, this things makes my job a WHOLE lot easier!

Ease of Use:
C'mon, man! it's got knobs and listing on the face of the unit; ya don't even have to crack the manual for basic uses.

Support:
Didn't (and don't) need it.

Overall:
I haven't begun to tap all it's uses in a YEAR of recording steadily.

Feature:
The ability to use MIDI to control the unit with a MIDI pedal was great. The MIDI also came in handy when interfacing with computer software to backup patches and create new ones.

Quality:
I had this for about 5 years and didn't notices TOO many problems. Most of the problems seemed to rise from the power cord (others have noticed this too). There were a few times when I would plug it in, and no sound would come out, or it would be very faint. I would just unplug it and plug it back in, and it would work fine. I started playing in a band recently and it worked fine for a few weeks, but stopped producing sound during a practice. I tried to get it to work, but I decided it would be better to just get the rack mounted version that seems more sturdy. The plastic casing and seemingly faulty power supply is ok for personal use, but not something that would be reliable for actual performance.

Value:
Great price, especially if you're on a tight budget. If you have a little extra to spend, I'd say go for the rack mounted version.

Desirability:
All the lights are pretty, but other than that, it's pretty bland.

Sound:
The sound met my needs for the most part. With all of the different amp/speaker combinations you can have, as well as effects, you can get a very wide range of sounds. It took me a little while to create a good clean tone that didn't distort when it was turned up, but I eventually got it.

Ease of Use:
Everything was pretty intuitive. If you've used an amp to tweak things like bass and treble, you can pick this up quickly. Using it with the FCB1010 pedal takes a little bit to figure out, but it's worth it.

Overall:
Great product except for the durability of it. If it was made out of a stronger material and was more reliable, it would be perfect.

Feature:
Helluva lot for the price. A USB port would have made this device more expensive, but a better competitor to the Line 6 Pod.

Quality:
I'm glad that I'm not paying for a heavy duty case! For studio use, it's plenty durable. No power switch though??? What the hell.

Value:
No-brainer folks. Buy it just for the accessories, hehe.

Desirability:
It jumped out at me, the decision was not a hard one to make.

Sound:
There are a wide range of sounds to choose from, but the ability to program in five presets with a foot pedal... for $100!?! I bought a secondary ART Studio V3 for some truer tube sounds and I'm going to return it. The Vamp2's tube sim sounds identical except its less noisy/crackly. I would suggest applying secondary effects like reverb and delay from other devices, it just makes it easy to use the Vamp2 for amp modulation and simple 3-band eq.

Ease of Use:
Everything's right in front of you. If you can't figure this out, its not Behringer's fault.

Support:
I've bought Behringer stuff before, never had to call them.

Overall:
Comparing it with other multi-effects processors, I didn't have to wait and save up $3-400 dollars. I bought this as soon as I found out it had a pedal, no kidding. Trust Behringer products, they are cheaper and they work.

all in one package you get a bag the pedals so that's pretty that you don't need the buy them

Quality:
did break yet but it's ade out of plastic so don't drop it or stomp it and it should be fine

Value:
already got podxt live but was fun when i used it

Desirability:
preety fun with al the lights and stuff but it's still made of plastic

Sound:
it has some nice things in but overall the sound is pretty the boring after a while

Ease of Use:
pretty easy the use when you get the hang of it

Support:
no problems so didn't need support

Overall:
great for beginners and cheap so if your just starting to play and really don't know anhything about amps and effects this is great but otherwise stay away from it and safe your money for line 6 (pod) or digitech (gnx) or pedals

Feature:
the footswitch needed some getting used to but now i've got it. i especially like how you can plug it into anything. i've had it come out of computer speakers, headphones, amps, but the main use is going through a mixer into a set of speakers which really makes it sound good. the inputs and outputs don't seem as secure as i'd want them to be but they still hold the cables. the carrying case is a great addition, though.

Quality:
great except for the plastic cover but that even seems durable and able to stand falls. the power adapter works fine but i don't like how it has all the delicate pins. my friend bent one of them plugging it in but i was able to fix it in a minute.

Value:
most other products are bad or expensive. plus most are on the floor which i hate because sometimes i need to change something while i'm playing. so this is definitely worth it. i would have bought it at 200 dollars because it's still better than other products at that price

Desirability:
the guitar shape is a little corny but that still looks better than an amp sitting on the floor acting like a 40 pound distortion pedal running to a mixer. the blue is nice and it is very curvy and smooth. this item definitely helps in practice and recording.

Sound:
Sounds great, haven't tried too many settings but still is good. The only thing is that i notice a little humming when palm muting but i might be able to fix that with some adjustments.

Support:
i have never needed any support from behringer because all of my products from them work fine. i'm rating them based on other people's reviews

Overall:
this is overall a great product and the only thing i would change is the quality of the ins and outs. when researching, it was thouroughly explained and i wished for nothing else but to try it out.

Feature:
The most perfect thing I could want to go along with my guitar.

Quality:
Overall, the shape and materials are fine EXCEPT they use a PS 2 connector for the power!! It failed on my second day of use. I had not removed the plug but a few times and it failed. The lights all work, but the sound goes dead. A perfect device everywhere else and it all hinges on a poor power connector!

Value:
A wonderful device that will fail at the power connector. Maybe yours works now, but at some point it will fail. Mine did on the second day. I will not ask for a replacement because I know they will all fail.

Desirability:
I want it when they fix the power connector.

Sound:
No problems with the sound, I love it.

Support:
Search of the web shows a lot of people complain about the power. The company has nothing on this subject. I expect every unit will fail at some point with this connector.

Overall:
Fix the power connector and I will buy it.

I think that, for me a beginner, it is an essintial bit of kit if you want to experiment with the different effects avaliable today. I've had great fun with it and it responds excellently to my playing style. The sound is wonderful I think tha t the wah wah effect is especially expressive.I would love to hear this bit of kit playing in a band only I haven't had the chance. The settings are superb. I reccomend this bit of kit to anyone who would like to own a wonderful little machine.

Quality:
Good contols but the effects and amps controls are too close together.

Value:
everything is great and good variety iof effects.

Desirability:
It looks really good how it is set up. The only bad thing is that its fraglie plastic.

Sound:
Good amp modler wah is not that great. Good variety of effects. Exellect item for begginers.

Support:
They were nice but impatience. I had to wait 1 hour to get some service.

Overall:
I had v amp 2 for about 1 1/2 years now. I aam very satifed with it.

Feature:
It comes with a foot switch what more can you ask for.

Quality:
The knobs felt a little cheap but that was the only thing. They stick out a little too much for my taste I'm afraid I might accidently knock it and snap a knob off. I would and do use this product on the road. No more amps or cabs I just plug into the PA and i'm off and running.

Value:
For the price they ask and what you get you should feel like your stealing from these guys. You get a better sounding product than the pod at half the preice.

Desirability:
Looks are such an adolescent concern.. I don't care how it looks I just worry about how it sounds and The V-Amp sounds great!

Support:
I've never had any problems with the unit so I never needed to contac the company so I really don't know about their customer service.

Overall:
I like to keep my gear simple so I plan on owning The V-Amp for a long time. I don't need anything else it's all right here.

Feature:
Really only came with foot pedals to move back and forth between the 5 banks of effects. Other than that, the features ON the pedal are AMAZING.

Quality:
This think will last you a damned long time, as well as give you amazing sound. The only problems I've found are the unique plug in's that behringer use. They break easily if you're not careful.

Value:
Very cheap....Bascially buying a cheap pod, and it's probably even better.

Desirability:
Looks like the body of a guitar...c'mon!

Sound:
This all depends on what you want to do with it. I've found Crate amplifiers worth the best with this processor. The features, and tones you're capible of are unlimited.

Support:
Amazing..'nuff saib

Overall:
I love it...I love it so much, lol.
