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
