V-AMP 2

Virtual guitar amplifier with tube simulation and digital multi-effects processor Authentic virtual guitar preamp with 32 amp and 15 speaker simulation models Dedicated selectors for amp models, speaker cabinets and digital effects Transparent user interface with direct display of all essential settings
32 simulations of popular guitar amps, ranging from clean to crunch to tube distortion sounds 15 speaker simulations directly selectable and freely combinable with any amp model
24-bit high-resolution stereo multi-effects processor with first-class algorithms like chorus, flanging, phasing, rotary, auto-wah, echo, delay, compressor and various effects combinations Additional effects parameters now directly accessible on the unit
New preamp bypass function allows use as a stereo effects unit without amp model
125 presets, including 50 original artist presets, organized in 25 banks for easy editing
Dedicated reverb control adds 1 of 9 stereo reverb types to any amp, speaker or effects setting
Separate wah-wah effect can be controlled manually or via MIDI and is available in addition to any other effects combination Effective 3-band EQ with amp model dependent characteristics
New presence control adjusts a high-frequency filter, simulating the negative feedback of tube amps Extremely low-noiseS/N ratio now 90 dB
Adjustable stereo aux input for line-level signals (CD, drum box, sound card, MIDI backing etc.) Stereo line output with virtual speaker simulation for recording and live applications
Five new, practical configuration modes for various studio and live applications, some with additional global 3-band EQ Master volume control and stereo headphones output
Extensive MIDI implementation allows complete real-time remote control and automation, data transfer and access to additional parameters Built-in auto-chromatic tuner Tap-tempo function allows real-time adjustment of effects speed parameter Professional noise reduction system on board Gig bag and dual footswitch for preset selection and tuner control included The V-AMP is protected by US patents No. D444,169 and D444,493 Manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system 2
