6 V -AMP 2 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations! The V-AMP 2 you have purchased is the revised version of the V-AMP—a state-of-the-art virtual guitar amplifier that has set new standards.
7 V -AMP 2 1.2 Before you begin Your V-AMP 2 was carefully packed before it left the factory to protect it from damage in transit. If there are signs of damage on the packaging, we recommend that you immediately examine the device itself for further signs of damage.
8 V -AMP 2 1 The MASTER control determines the overall volume of the V-AMP 2. Apart from the AUX LEVEL control this is the only “conventional” control on the V-AMP 2. All the other controls are encoder-type rotary controls. 2 The VOLUME control is for the volume of the selected preset.
9 V -AMP 2 10 This control is for selecting an effect or a combination of effects. This encoder-type rotary control is also surrounded by a ring of 16 LEDs. Each LED corresponds to one specific effects preset. 11 Using the REVERB control, you can add the reverb content of your choice to your overall sound.
10 V -AMP 2 18 Connect the enclosed power supply unit via the AC IN socket. 19 The balanced LINE OUT 1/4" sockets provide the audio signal from the V-AMP 2 in stereo, for example, for recording purposes. You can connect the LINE OUT outputs with balanced or unbalanced jack plugs.
11 V -AMP 2 In modes L1, L2 and L3, the additional 3-band EQ is set with the BASS, MID and TREBLE controls. As this EQ works globally, it has no effect on the settings of these three controls from the preset programming. If you plug in your headphones, the V-AMP 2 automatically selects S1 mode.
12 V -AMP 2 2. 3 Recording A widely used recording application is to make a “dry” recording of the output signal while monitoring the signal with effects (“wet”). The advantage here is that you don’t have to make a final decision on what effect to use during mix-down.
13 V -AMP 2 For this application please select mode L1 or L2 under CONFIGURATION, depending on whether you want to have the external amp with or without cabinet simulation! Thus, you can also optimize the sound on the amp with TREBLE, MID and BASS of the global 3-band EQ.
14 V -AMP 2 Fig. 3.1: Calling up presets In this case, by pressing button A, B, C or E you can immediately call up another preset of the same bank. The two arrow keys (BANK UP und BANK DOWN) enable you to switch banks. The display on the V-AMP 2 always shows which bank has been selected.
15 V -AMP 2 preset the temporary edited version is discarded. However, after editing you can also hold down the two arrow keys until “Pr” appears in the display, which brings back the factory preset that was originally stored there. However you then have to save it again by holding down the corresponding preset button for approx.
16 V -AMP 2 amazingly distorted sound even at low volume. The Tweed Champ had a volume control, but no EQ control. If you want to get the most authentic sound out of this amp, keep the sound control on the V-AMP 2 in the mid- range.
17 V -AMP 2 The unique feature of the Savage is its extreme power and is therefore highly popular with heavy metal guitarists. Silent Force/Sinner guitarist Alex Beyrodt has been an enthusiastic Engl user for years. An amp for making yourself heard! FUZZ BOX: This sound is not actually based on any one amp, but on a particular fuzz box.

20 V -AMP 2 Special effects COMPRESSOR: A compressor limits the dynamic range of the audio material, thus producing audible and creative sound effects. Pronounced use of the compressor (using the EFFECTS control) allows you to compress the overall dynamic range of the material.
