Top tone—in full eect
The V-AMP 3 gives you anger, chorus,
compression, delay and 12 other beautiful
digital eects to apply to your sound.
Adjust the eect’s level in the mix via the
EFFECTS dial. To adjust eect parameters,
you can rhythmically press the TAP
button to alter delay times or LFO speeds,
or hold down the TAP button and twist
the EFFECTS knob to access e.g. feedback
or depth. By using a MIDI pedal, such as
the BEHRINGER FCB1010, you can access
an additional Wah Wah eect. You can
adjust the lter characteristic by entering
EDIT mode, selecting the DRIVE menu and
turning the EFFECTS knob while holding
the TAP button.
Presenting the presets
All of these elements have been
combined into 125 dierent presets
divided into 25 banks, accessible through
the BANK UP/BANK DOWN buttons.
Within each bank, you can press buttons
A through E to explore its dierent
presets. You can also create and save your
own presets. Start by selecting a preset,
then making any changes you wish:
amp, EQ, eect, etc. The preset LED will
begin to ash, indicating that the V-AMP
3 is ready to save your settings. To do this,
hold the preset button down for about
two seconds. Once the LED stops ashing,
you have saved the modied preset.
On top of all this, the V-AMP 3 also
features a built-in tuner and noise gate.
In essence, it’s a Swiss Army Knife for the
home recording enthusiast or gigging
guitarist who can’t seem to settle
on one amp.
Stunning in the studio
The V-AMP 3 features several
congurations that make it an
invaluable asset in the studio. Access the
conguration menu by pressing the
B and D buttons at the same time.
Then use BANK UP and BANK DOWN
to select a conguration.
When using headphones, the V-AMP3
will switch into Studio Mode 1 (S1).
This stereo mode works well for both
monitoring and recording with eects,
amp and speaker modeling. It doesn’t
apply the additional three-band EQ to the
signal, but most recording programs have
their own EQ.
In Studio Mode 2 (S2), the V-AMP 3
sends a signal with amp and speaker
simulation, but only the right output has
eects. You can either record both left and
right outputs to separate tracks, or record
the “dry” left output while monitoring the
right output.
Stellar on stage
The V-AMP 3 has three live
congurations. When performing live
with this device, you can either run it
to an amp on stage, run directly to the
mixing board, or both. Live Mode 1 is
the best choice for running the outputs
directly to the mixer, because it applies
amp and speaker simulation, eects and
an additional 3-band EQ.
Use Live Mode 2 to run the V-AMP
3 into the eects return inputs of 2
dierent guitar amps. This conguration
does not feature speaker simulation,
allowing the amplier’s natural speaker
sound to go unaltered. In this scenario,
the amps would be mic’d on stage to get
the sound to the house speakers, and
having a dedicated monitor would be
less important.
