Tab. 4.1: V-AMP effects
4.1 Description of effects
The following section includes a short description of each effect that can be created with the multi-effects
processor of your V-AMP.
Reverb and delay algorithms
REVERB: Reverb is still the most important effect for mix-downs or live playing, and we at BEHRINGER set
great store by giving you as much as nine different reverb programs, so that you can use the most appropriate
reverb program for each specific application. The reverb effect can be added independently of all the other
effects (see chapter 4.2).
ECHO: Echo, i.e. delayed repetitions of the input signal, is quite similar to the stereo delay effect, except for
the fact that the high-frequency content of the repeated signals is decreasing, which simulates a vintage tape
delay used in the pre-digital era. The reflections are routed by turns to the left and right channel producing a
quasi-stereo effect.
DELAY: This algorithm delays the input signal, with different tempo settings producing interesting effects.
Especially U2s The Edge has demonstrated the potential of this effect.
PING PONG: A delay effect that changes its position on the stereo basis.
Modulation effects
PHASER: Phasing widens the sound making your guitar sound thicker and richer. From a technical point of
view, phasing is a modulation effect that produces a multi-stage phase shift between the direct and effect
signals. As the frequency-dependent phase shift is modulated, the various frequency ranges of the signal are
raised or lowered in their amplitudes. Depending on the setting you choose, the resulting phasing effect is
either slightly modulating in character or produces heavy sound coloration.
FLANGER: Flanging is a constant up/down modulation of the signal pitch.
CHORUS: This effect resembles the flanging effect, however, has no feedback parameter. It produces a detune
effect that is very pleasant in character and is therefore best suited to make your guitar sound richer.
