Behringer V-Amp interactive modeling. Choose any amp you want. For musicians interested in exploring the boundless realm of the digital world, Behringer has created V-Amp interactive modeling, providing endless tone combinations and sonic flexibility. In traditional amplifiers, sound is deter-mined by the interaction of a hugely complex network of components. Each nuance influences another, creating a personality, a soul and an essence to the tone that comes out. Through digital innovation, V-Amp interactive modeling captures the world of legendary guitar amplifiers and puts them at your disposal for the purpose of creating your tone. Rather than trying to emulate the overall sound, Behringer has taken modeling a step further by analyzing individual components, virtually re-creating them and wiring them together like in a real amp. Simply put, Behringer has captured the authenticity of each individual component within the amplifier and then put them all together, recreating their tone with tremendous accuracy. In this process Behringer has accounted for all the unique factors that comprise tone like aged components, filter capacitors, output transformers and so on and have built them in. Among the benefits to this painstaking engineering process is how easily you can wire all virtual components in any desired order, thus affecting the virtual chain exactly as it would in the real world. No matter which of Behringer's virtual modeling products you choose, the results will read more consistently blow away your expectations and exceed them by helping you take your music to new places.

The LX1200H features all of the legendary V-Amp re-creations packed into one mighty head. Behringer's second guitar head, this monster puts 32 authentic amp models at your fingertips, 15 speaker cabinet simulations, 16 multi-FX like noise gate, compressor, wah-wah, modulation effects, delay, reverb and on and on. Choose between 120-watt mono or 2 x 60-watt stereo operation. Super-short learning curve with intuitive rotary controls and dedicated LEDs. The 15 rear-panel connectors allow comprehensive routing to suit virtually any conceivable application.

"Expensive sound... Cheap price"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
If this was to get stolen or broken or whatever, I'd buy a new one for sure.
Sound
Noise gate works awesome. You can get just about any sound out of it. and most of all... It's loud.
Features
You can get just about any sound you want out of this amp. Your only limit is your humbuckers/pickups in the guitar you're using it with. The only thing I would improve is have the built in digital effects have more mmmph. They are too quiet when you turn up loud. It's great if you like to tweek your setting and play around with different sounds, because with all of the amp models and effects, basically there is infinite combinations of sounds.
Ease of Use
If you are a nerd, and like computer/pushing buttons, this will be dream for you. There are so many buttons and dials to push.
Quality
My first gigging amp, I'd buy it again if it was
Value
Holy buckets, it's dirt cheap, and it's all digital. So much for so little.
Manufacturer Support
I'm not sure how it'd work out if for some reason I needed to send it back to Behringer, because they are based in Germany, but the thing is, I don't think I'll ever need to. It's too well made, very solid feeling.
The Wow Factor
You turn it on and the lights spin, and they glow red, it's so COOL looking. All of the lights and digital stuff make it seem like it'd be a much more expensive product.
