Knibby Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thinking of getting a Behringer V Amp Pro, rack mount, it's to go with my Hartke 3500 Amp and Cabs. Looking for some effects and need to fill my rack, is this a good move, any feed back would be appreciated. Cheers Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Excellent value for money although most people I know use it for modelling (tones) rather than the actual effects. I guess probably because they sound a little weak; a lot of the Behringer effects pedals tend not to sound as good as their Boss etc counterparts. But as far as having loads of effects and loads of tweakability at your hands, it does very well. For a little more money you'd do better to source the Line6 Pod Pro Rack version. Comes with a footswitch for cycling through the effects and much better quality effects and build quality. Alternatively, why are you determined to use rack effects? Why not a multi-fx on the floor? I use the Boss ME-20b which is perfect for my needs (I only ever use octave, drive or delay) and I have a volume pedal built in which is surprisingly useful. On a bigger scale, and has the same functionality as the Behringer, you can get a used Boss GTB-6 for around £120 or a Line6 Pod Live XT. Both great bits of kit and you can carry around your entire 'sound' in a pedal case rather than a bulky rack case. Definitely worth shopping around on this one!

cheddatom Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you're using rack effects, you have to have a floor controller anyway, so personally I don't see any advantage over a multi-effects pedal I've heard good things about the V amp stuff but not tried it myself. If you just want to fill your rack I'd get a rack tuner and a decent compressor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I had the v amp pro. Instructions are terrible . Not all of the effects are bass . Couldn't get on with it , so it had to go,boss me50b much better. Do you really need virtual amps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
