BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO FOREWORD TABLE OF CONTENTS Dear Customer, welcome to the team of BEHRINGER users, and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the BASS V-AMP/ BASS V-AMP PRO.
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations! By purchasing the BASS V-AMP/ BASS V-AMP PRO, you have selected a modern virtual bass amplifier that sets new standards in the world of bass preamps. Our primary goal was to achieve the classic sound of bass amps by using “Physical Modeling” and implementing the newest DSP effects.
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO The GAIN control determines level and saturation characteristics of the amp simulation. The VOLUME control governs the volume of the selected preset. Well-known floor effects units are simulated with these setups. The BASS control on the EQ section lowers or elevates bass frequencies. When the TAP button is depressed, the BASS control changes its function to DEEP control, which influences the sound in the lower frequency segment.
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO TREBLE control to regulate PRESENCE in a particular amp simulation. V “2nd parameter”: The second effect parameter (regulated by the EFFECTS control) is accessed by keeping the TAP button pressed (see chapter 6). V “Amp models 17 - 32”: Keep the TAP key pressed and select the desired simulation by using the AMPS control. V “MIDI Thru”: The MIDI Out connector can be set to MIDI Thru (see A). V “Compressor”: The compressor control regulates the ).
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO The stereo signal of the BASS V-AMP PRO without analog speaker simulations can be taken at the ANALOG LINE OUTPUTS. For example, this is how you connect an external stage amp when performing live. Connect the power supply unit via the AC IN connector. When you plug the power supply unit in the mains, your BASS V-AMP is automatically switched on. Connect the stereo jack of your footswitch FS112V to the FOOTSWITCH connector.

BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO preset by keeping the desired preset key pressed for roughly two seconds. For example, you can edit a preset located in preset bank five and location D and save it in bank six and location A. 4.1 Recalling presets The most recently used preset is automatically recalled each time you power the unit on. The following example in fig. 4.1 shows the BASS V-AMP: preset D in the 25th bank was selected.
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO 5.1 Amp descriptions BRITISH ’60s: A ’68 Marshall Super Bass Plexi with Vintage EL-34 tubes was the role model for this simulation. This amp has richer highs than the Marshall Major and sounds a bit like a fuzz box in the upper drive settings. This amp was a must in the ’60s, particularly among UK bands. For example, it was used by John Entwhistle (The Who), Noel Redding (The Jimi Hendrix Experience), Ron Wood (Jeff Beck Group) and Roger Glover (Deep Purple).
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO BRIT. HI GAIN: Compare this model with a Marshall JCM 800. Even though the original caused a furry mostly due to its distorted sound, this model produces a similar effect even with moderate gain. You get excellent Steve Ray Vaughan/Michael Landau sounds. When distorting, it is ideal for producing the old Gary Moore sound as well as heavy metal sound. 5.2 Speaker descriptions The sound of a bass combo depends a great deal on the speaker type and combination.

BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO 6.3.4 Virtual analog bass synth SYNTH: This effect gives you a rad three-voice synthie bass and has many parameters that are pre-configured in 9 variants and can be selected via TAP and EFFECT. The TAP key can be used to control the envelope (ADSR) of the synthie sounds (short tap = short tone, slow tapping = long tone).
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO 8.4 MIDI connections The MIDI standard (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) was first developed at the beginning of the ’80s, with the goal of enabling mutual communication between electronic instruments of various manufacturers. Over the years, the number of possible MIDI applications has increased substantially; nowadays, it is perfectly normal to connect entire studios via MIDI.
