Turn Your Home Into a Hit Factory--In Seconds!
Hook the V-AMP3 up to your computer using the included 1/4"
TRS-to-RCA cable and UCA222 USB interface. Connect V-AMP3 Phones
output with the stereo line inputs of UCA222, and switch its
direct monitoring function on. Then connect the UCA222 USB cable
to your computer. You can monitor the signal with the UCA222's
headphone jack. (This is also a great way to jam along with the
MP3's on your computer). From there, the amazing energyXT2.5 DAW
(digital audio workstation) makes it easy to manipulate your
audio and MIDI files, turning song ideas into stunning CD or
web-ready s. energyXT2.5 includes its own multi-FX
processor, built-in synthesizers and a drum machine, both of
which can be accessed by any controller keyboard, such as the
UMA25S or UMX series, or programmed in step-write mode.
Any Classic You Like
The V-AMP 3's 32 amp models are organized into four groups:
CLEAN, BLUES, METAL and ROCK. Just twist the dedicated dial to
plug into unbelievably authentic simulations of the greatest
British and American tube amps from the 1950s to today. You even
get models of uncommon--yet renowned--boutique tube amps! 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 guitar amp, you've got a three-band EQ,
GAIN, REVERB, VOLUME and MASTER VOLUME dials. 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 V-AMP 3's tone.
Top Tone--In Full Effect
The V-AMP 3 gives you flanger, chorus, compression, delay and 12
other beautiful digital effects to apply to your sound. Adjust
the effect's level in the mix via the EFFECTS dial. To adjust
effect 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 effect. You can adjust the filter
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 different
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 different presets. You can also create
and save your own presets. Start by selecting a preset, then
making any changes you wish: amp, EQ, effect, etc. The preset LED
will begin to flash, 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 flashing, you have saved the
modified 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
for the home enthusiast or gigging guitarist who
can't seem to settle on one amp.
Stunning in the Studio
The V-AMP 3 features several configurations that make it an
invaluable asset in the studio. Access the configuration menu by
pressing the B and D buttons at the same time. Then use BANK UP
and BANK DOWN to select a configuration.
When using headphones, the V-AMP 3 will switch into Studio Mode 1
(S1). This stereo mode works well for both monitoring and
with effects, amp and speaker modeling. It doesn't
apply the additional three-band EQ to the signal, but most
programs--like energyXT2.5--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 effects. 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 configurations. 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, effects and an additional
3-band EQ.
Use Live Mode 2 to run the V-AMP 3 into the effects return inputs
of 2 different guitar amps. This configuration does not feature
speaker simulation, allowing the amplifier'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. In Live Mode 3, you
can send the left output to an amp's effects return for onstage
volume, while the right output sends signal to the main mixer for
inclusion in the main house mix. Also note that you can press the
TAP key while turning the GAIN knob to adjust the input
sensitivity to match the output of your guitar's pickups. If the
CLIP LED lights, the input's sensitivity should be reduced.
Veni, MIDI, Vici
The V-AMP 3 comes fully equipped to fit right into a MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) setup. It can be
controlled in real time from a computer, or via a MIDI foot
controller during a live performance. Its MIDI connectors are
international-standard 5-pin DIN connectors. You will need
dedicated MIDI cables (not included).
The MIDI IN jack receives MIDI controller data. It can be
adjusted in EDIT mode by pressing the A button and then using the
arrow keys. MIDI OUT/THRU sends data to a computer. You can
transmit both preset data and parameter changes. Some people even
use the V-AMP as a remote control for parameters of their DAW or
VST instruments, which is more handy than using the mouse alone.
If set to MIDI THRU, the V-AMP 3 does not send its own MIDI
information, but passes on the signal received at the MIDI IN
connector.
