Behringer v-amp pro

[brainofj]

Has anyone tried the v-amp pro?? Seems like quite a good buy over here, cheapest ive found it is 99 pounds.

The amp models are pretty good. The effects processor on it is pretty bad. It has substandard AD/DA (32K sampling). Overall it's not bad for practicing and scratch stuff I would not recommend it for finishing or re-amping production material.

I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now. I am not primarily a guitarist, so my playing ability and 'tone pickiness' are not very refined, but it's great for me. Lots of versatility and light years ahead of what I was using before. Definitely worth (to me anyway) the extra money for the Pro, if only to throw it in the rack.

My primary guitar playing is only to add some parts to original tunes I've written - so far I've had no issues trying to dial in a sound that I've got in my head.

V-AMP PRO

I will be using it for recording and live performance. Have any of youy used it in a live situation? I was thinking on making some kind of bracket to fit on top of my amp that will hold the v-amp when needed. Does it sound good hooked up to your amp?
Regarding the S/PDIF output on the rear, is it coaxial rca connection ? I have an audiophile 24/96 which has an S/PDIF in and out, (RCA), i was hoping that i can connect the v-amp to this.

You can. Use a proper coaxial cable and sync the audiophile to the V-amp.

What do you mean "a proper coaxial cable"? Im quite new to this. Is it just a more expensive rca cable with gold plated tips, oxygen free etc? Can you give me some names of good quality cables that wont break the bank. The ones i am thinking on i have seen at my local Maplin Electronics store, i think the brand name is SHARK. Are these any good?

You need one that is 75 ohm (sometimes marked 'RG-59/U' on the cable. Usually RCA video cables are 75 ohm.

That's what I meant. Just don't use RCA audio cables. They can work but the connection can easily be lost (at the worst possible moments).
I paid 4 euros a piece (like $4,50) for my 8ft coax cables and they work just fine so it doesn't have to cost very much.
