Behringer Bass V-AMP The Ultimate Tone Toolbox for Bass/Acoustic/Electric Guitar and Keyboard Amp Modeling Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bottom line up front:
Pros- Great value, very versatile, good for any skill level (easy to use out of the box but offers plenty of additional enhancement for advanced users)
Cons- Lots of plastic, slight delay switching between effects

The meat and potatoes:
I've been playing guitar for about 8 years now and have had several different effects pedals. Two years ago I decided I wanted a multi-pedal and took a shot at this one. I'm a believer that the primary cause of a good-sounding guitar is a good guitar player... but this pedal sure helps! With a little tweaking, you can effectively make ANY sound you need. The included pedal allows you to switch between 5 custom effects slots. There are 5 slots per bank and over 20 banks so storage space isn't a problem. It will continue to store your settings whether it's plugged in or not (even for very long periods of time). The instructions are very good, too, so you should be able to pick up the operation fairly quickly. I've used it primarily for my 6-string electric but it also serves as a surprisingly good pre-amp for my bass. I've used it for several hours like this without it overheating or getting otherwise damaged

There are two major drawbacks to this pedal. One: it's made of flimsy plastic. In the two years I've owned it, one knob has broken off, one knob doesn't function properly, and there's something plastic banging around inside. Two: There's a 1.5-2 second delay (no sound at all during delay) switching from one effect to the next so don't plan on instant sound changes while performing. This shouldn't be a big deal for most.

I had an opportunity to try the PRO version. Only difference is that the PRO is metal and designed for a rack. If you'll only ever use it for recording, get the PRO. Otherwise, stick with this one for traveling convenience.

Product Description:
If a lack of money and floor space is all that's been standing between you a roomful of vintage guitar amps and effects pedals, get ready to love the BASS V-AMP. It comes loaded with 32 amp models, 23 speaker cabinet models and 16 classic effects. The BASS V-AMP's 32 amp models are organized into three groups: ACOUSTIC, KEYBOARD and GUITAR. Just twist the dedicated dial to plug into unbelievably authentic simulations of the greatest bass sounds from the 1950s to today. When you select an amp model, a speaker cabinet model is automatically selected. But if you'd prefer a different model, just go to EDIT>CABINETS, then use the BANK UP/DOWN buttons to navigate through all 15 options. Just like on an actual bass amp, you've got a three-band EQ, GAIN, VOLUME and MASTER VOLUME dials. There's even a COMPRESSOR dial for tight, smooth tone with a variable attack. By holding the TAP button, the TREBLE dial becomes a PRESENCE control. This enables the adjustment of a high-frequency filter that can add or remove a "shimmer" from the BASS V-AMP's tone.
