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

#5
My BVPro is soon to become my primary guitar amp at home. I am taking my GK amp to church and leaving it there. It sounds so much better than the 1x15 Peavey currently in place. This will free up a few square feet in old music studio/computer room.

Up to now, I have been using the 2x10 GK cab as the speaker cab for my Fargen guitar amp head.

More fun via the V-Amp Editor tonight.

I have my guitar pedal chain in the Pre-DSP loop, but some of the pedal have a bit of noise -- probably due to using my Godlyke Power-All. Denoiser to the rescue! I slowly incremented the Denoiser up until the hum mostly went away, which turned out to be -63db.

So, I had the Tele plugged in and was jamming away. I prefer my fuzz pedal to the ones in the unit.

Gold Panel amp into a Leslie cab, some reverb, my tremolo pedal, a little fuzz and I summoning sounds of spaghetti westerns of yore.

All of this experimentation is a good thing, because as of tomorrow (Sunday), the BVPro becomes my only amp in my music room. The bass amp is going to church and staying there, because it sounds way better than the 1x15 Peavey currently there. My guitar amp head is using the GK's speaker cab.

For a live situation, consider the FCB1010 midi foot controller. Also, consider using the V-Amp Designer software to directly control the unit while at practice. There are some settings for the effects and other places that aren't accessible on the front panel.

Might as well dip my feet in here
I'm gonna start making a rig that includes one of these. I'm buying a Fender Rumble 100 from a friend, and my understanding is that it has a power amp in jack so I can easily hook this up after following the guide. The only thing that has me hesitating are that money is tight and after 8 years they might be coming out with something new...

But hell, I'm gonna have one by the end of the summer.

Unfortunately nobody in my area has one listed or I'd have jumped on it by now

I'll have to keep my eyes peeled on ebay and the classifieds here

ETA: There's one used one on ebay, but it's only been tested to power on and it looks like some of the controls are missing. Too bad.

Remember that this is a pre-amp, not a power amp.

I am a big fan of the Fender Rumble series.
