I just bought the guitar one on friday. I love it. Makes playing the guitar a lot more fun. I can't wait to record with it. Anyone else here use one. What do you think of it. How would you go about hooking it up to a computer to record? Also, do you use the cab simulations? Right now i'm using my amp as a cab for it so I am not using the simulations. Sounds a lot better without them IMO. Would it make a big difference though, if I were to use monitors instead of my amp? Do I need a MIDI interface in order to use the software for the Vamp? I want to download some presets and share my own. What does the software do exactly?
 
Yes, you need a midi interface from computer to v-amp for the software to work. Use the cab sims if you record to your computer. Use your computer/studio monitors to listen with. Playing one of these through an amp usually takes hours of tweaking to get it close. The v-amp was designed for computer recording, and it does it about as well as any Pod, J-Station, or any other modeller out there. Take a 1/4" guitar cord out from the left side I think it is, to the line in of your soundcard, and you're there. Enjoy your new toy, the up side to all gadgets is it makes you play more which almost always improves your playing.
 
Amp simulators and etc

I have a (stereo) Johnson J-Station.
When I amplify it, I run it into the amp via the amplifier "effects-in" and leave the J-Station simulations on.
This way it by-passes all the amplifier pre-amp stuff and and goes directly to the true amplification electronics.
I actually run one channel into my (160 watt) bass guitar amp and the other channel into my (100 watt) guitar amp.
Crazy?
Maybe.
Loud?
Most definitely!
Fun?
Absolutely!

The V-amp2 software will give you an easy interface to tweak your V-amp, it gives you access to all the features on the PC screen and more detailed options than available through the hardware buttons and knobs.
My V-amp2 is retired now because I love my PODxt so much more, but the one area the V-amp2 has the XT beat is the configurable output options
S1,S2,L1....etc
 
thanks a lot guys. Right now the way I hook up my Vamp2 into my amp is I take two cables, one for the left and one for the right and then plug then into my Aux in left and right on my amp. That way I get it in stereo. Then I have it in L2 mode because I don't need the cab simulations. When I plug headphones into the Vamp, I only get sound from one ear. How can I make it come out of both?
