Then singing distortions for the Ozzy stuff.Its an amazing toy, this V-Amp 2, and I am looking forward to living the rest of my life as a guitarist without ever waiting for tubes to warm up or fail in the middle of a set again.living the rest of my life as a guitarist without ever waiting for tubes to warm up or fail in the middle of a set again.never seen a tube/tube amp just fail in the middle of a set, and thats after 10+yrs constant gigging with tube amps (as well as the amps used by other band members and other bands on the bill), and going to shows for 25+yrs.
No effects loops or anything, just plug them in like an instrument.I get wonderful, full, warm clean sounds on songs like 'Drift Away' or Hendrix blues type tunes, and gutsy midrange punch on Bad Company tunes.
Speaker emulation is used, and I run directly from the line outs on the V-Amp to the passive or low impedance inputs on the front of the amps. But the bass amp has a few frequencies adjusted to balance the sound more to guitar frequencies. Although the high end needs a slight cut before running through the main's horns.For my live rig I currently run through a 20 watt w/8' speaker Rogue amp & a 150 watt w/ 15' Laney Bass amp.Using the L2 settings one channel is dry (no effects) and I run it to the Rogue, and the other is wet (full effects) and run it to the Laney, then from the Laney's balanced output to the P.A.I try to run the Rogue with EQ set to '5' or flat. Please allow me to offer a different opinion than the ones above.I will agree with the flat response comments, mine sounds great through the P.A. Could never use live for rock and roll sounds. It has a pre-amp bypass but still I dont like the tone out of it. It has lots of effects, guess all a guitarist wants.I still have mine but the thing that really makes me trash it is the fact that it 'kills' the sound of your amp. I'm looking at the V-Amp 2 mainly for headphone practice at night and was just wondering how I'd go about using it for a small gig if I wanted to go that ol man, nice amp.for practice as you want it, I guess it will work perfectly. Fx from the vamp could be used, but wouldnt go through the 600.something like that maybe? I have a few other amps, including a '65 Fender Vibrolux Reverb, so I think I'm set in that department. This gives you the ability to use the 600 as a (straight guitar) monitor, as well as a 'feedback generator' sorta thing with the speaker right there. If you wanted to say, have the sound of a marshall rig thru the mains, you could send the vamp right to the board and voila.īy using a tuner (or similar) as a signal splitter, running it gtr-tuner you could have one output go to the vamp-PA, and the other output go right to your 600. Sorta depends on what you wanted to accomplish (specifically) at the gig. Even that it looks like is made for rock and roll/hard/heavy sounds, it sounds better for other kinds of music IMHO. I've tried some new digital fx processors (BOss, Digitech) and they sound way better.I agree with the guy who told ya to save the pennies for a good amp.BUT theres lots os things one can do with a V-amp. Sounds 'old' to my ears, if you know what I mean.
I don't know anything about Ohms and all that kind of stuff.you have to remember that the V-amp2 is kinda old for a digital effect. I know the V-Amp 2 isn't intended for use through an amplifier so I was wondering if it would work to plug the V-Amp 2 into the speaker jack on the back of the Champ so I would bypass the pre-amp. I have a Fender Champ 600 and I'm looking at getting a Behringer V-Amp 2 for playing around and possibly using live from time to time. A guitar amp (being voiced for guitar, from preamp to power amp to spkr voicing) really has no place in the equation, and the simple design of the 600 even less so. Which aint to say good/great tones cant be had, but its an endeavor kinda similar to trying to use a can opener to mix pancake batter.a used powered PA spkr, or keyboard amp, is probably the best bet for this app, which is strictly amplifying a modeller.
Trying to use the 600 as what should be a 'clean' system (read: PA or similar) is gonna be kinda pissing up a rope.
