Sounds on the X V-amp
Hi,
Just to clarify first. The model I have is the X V-amp not the V-amp 2 or the V-amp Pro. So this one is just for the X V-amp.
Just got it last week. Haven't tried it in a recording situation yet.
It sounds great over a really really clean amp.
i.e. Plug direct to mixer and parallel out to monitor.
However, when plugged in direct to a guitar amp, needs a little bit of EQing to settle down cus the amp will 'colour' the sound which the X V-amp produces.
When I first got it, tried it with my boss Francis of Guitar Workshop. He said that the sounds were to trebly and digitized. I thought so too. Cus' we were running it through a Peavey amp.
Until I brought it home, and read the manual, did some EQing on the X V-amp and plugged it through a set of headphones. i.e. Clean Channels.
Then did it sound really good.
I like especially, the Vox AC30, Fender Twin Reverb Blackface and Marshall amp modelling sounds. Cus' it suits my style just fine.
Anyway, I did email someone who used it for recording before I bought it the second time (My original was faulty and I exchanged it for a full refund).
You can find his review on Harmony Central.
Here's his reply.
"Yup, sounds like you've got a bad one. It's definitely worth giving it another chance. I just used mine on a label project for some solo's. Sounds great!
