V-AMP 2: The next step
in virtual amplification.
Like our
already legendary original V-AMP, the V-AMP 2 is based on
state-of-the-art amp modeling technology, allowing you to
achieve a wide variety of realistic amp sounds without the
hassle of miking an amp. To that end, the V-AMP 2 now features
twice as many amp models for 32 total, plus our 15 original
speaker simulations, which can be selected and activated
independently of the amp models. Read on: you’ll see why the
V-AMP 2 is suited for much more than just home recording or
practice applications.
For extra tone-shaping power, the V-AMP 2 boasts a built-in
24-bit studio-quality stereo effects unit with an impressive
selection of specially developed, great-sounding algorithms,
including chorus, tremolo, compression, noise gate, delay and
much more, plus several combinations. A separate manually or
MIDI-controllable wah-wah effect and 9 stereo reverb types are
available in combination with any other effect, amp or speaker
setting. In addition, 2 effects parameters are now directly
accessible.
You still get an integrated chromatic tuner, a tap tempo
function for real-time adjustment of the effect’s speed
parameter, an adjustable stereo aux input, a stereo line output
with speaker simulation, an effective 3-band EQ with amp-model
dependent characteristics, a master volume control and an
adjustable headphones output. Plus a MIDI interface for
real-time remote control and automation, data transfer and
access to additional parameters, and 125 onboard presets,
organized in 25 banks and including 50 presets by renowned
guitarists.
In addition, the V-AMP 2 features five practical configuration
modes for various applications and a presence control that
simulates the negative feedback of tube amps. Plus a new preamp
bypass function that allows you to use the V-AMP 2 as a stereo
effects unit and dramatically improved gate and noise reduction
circuits for better sound quality and an impressive
signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB.
Best of all, the V-AMP 2 is a breeze to operate, thanks to its
unusually transparent user interface with dedicated controls for
all essential settings. It comes with a dual footswitch for
preset selection and tuner control plus an AC adapter in an
attractive, durable carrying bag. |
