    Behringer Bass V-AMP Pro - Part II: Get On Back, Jack, Do It Again...

    Given that you can change presets [A --> E] for a selected enumerated bank [1 --> 25] with a single press of the particular letter's button, I find myself picking a specific amp model and using the 5 letter slots in that bank, for variations on that amp. For example, my bank [1] is all SVT...

    Behringer Bass V-AMP Pro - Part II: Get On Back, Jack, Do It Again...

    Seriously, the V-Amp device engineers / designers at Behringer were really in the zone. We now know that its a great device with huge potential. Sadly the writers of the manual and choosers of the pre-loaded settings were not quite in the same zone. They should have employed you to write...

    Behringer Bass V-AMP Pro - Part II: Get On Back, Jack, Do It Again...

    I have been tinkering about with my V-Amp and I would just like to summarize my thoughts so far after follwing the initial set-up guide provided by CharlieC. I'm pretty much concurring with him, quite frankly. As the great man so rightly pointed out: its really important to set the initial...

    Zoom B3 As Preamp

    When I accuse the manual of being inadequate I probably mean incomplete i.e. I imagine the very reason CharlieC started this thread was due to lack of thorough documentation. Accepted the Zoom manual is not the worst. I think the user interface is quite intuitive and the manual really just...

    Zoom B3 As Preamp

    Quite right.:) I'm a big fan of all things GNU/Linux, so contributing improvements back to the community is meat and drink to me. The software that is provided with devices like the B3 is generally utterly useless to me, due to my choice of operating system. I would love to see free...

    Zoom B3 As Preamp

    Of course - the ear should be used to make the final judgement. I think due to the combination of: 1) inadequate documentation, 2) vast array of tweak-able parameters 3) easily select-able built-in presets, the tendency is to never fully understand the technology you have in front of you! I...

    Zoom B3 As Preamp

    Ok, so it sounds to me as though the cabinet simulation, is of very limited use. So ... under what conditions would one engage it? e.g. recording directly into a computer etc? Certainly any cab sim would appear to be ill advised in any live amp feed from the B3. Am I right? I think the...

    Zoom B3 As Preamp

    Firstly I would like to thank CharlieC for his wise words in this (and other) threads, and his efforts in bringing various vital information about these signal-processing effects to light. You are truly a Prometheus, enlightening our darkness from the shadow of poor "official" documentation.:D...
