"Absolute GEM for the technically savvy musician"

Feature:
The best feature is the manual tone settings, reverb and master volume. This allows infinite flexibility in combination with whatever amp/p.a. system you happen to be using at the moment.

Quality:
Qualifier here too...the internal components along with the modeling technology is the best in the industry...however, the housing itself is made of plastic and the cable inputs need to be attached to the housing in conjunction with the circuit board. The post on the tone/volume knobs would also benefit from being constructed of metal rather than plastic. I'm going on my 3rd unit in 4 years and although I'm extremely careful when setting it up twice a week at church, the inputs start shorting out after 1 year. I just budget for a replacement after 15-16 months. This last one I got an extended warrenty...might just be the ticket.

Value:
It's the best value in terms of quality sound vs. price...unless you go with the Pro model and spend the extra $150 for the midi unit, there is nothing else out in the market that can do what the V-Amp 2 does.

Desirability:
It does have some very nice curves...if you squint your eyes and tilt your head it actually looks like an electric guitar body.

Sound:
The best way to squeeze the best sound out of this machine is to sit down and spend some serious time going thru each of the possible amp/cab/effect combinations. It can sound crappy, or it can sound absolutely astounding. The manual is worth it's weight in gold...read it until you memorize it.

Support:
I emailed them concerning my 2nd unit and never received a reply...still waiting after 6 months.

Overall:
I've used these for 4 years and I still don't see anything else being offered that has such a flexibility as to creating a fully processed heavy metal screaming guitar sound, and an organic, wailing, punch you in the stomach SRV tone. In my honest opinion...it does it all.

"V-Amp 2: try this after the POD, compare the prices and buy it"

Feature:
Just a bag and a pedal switch, but for the price it is enough I think. Very Bad: no ON/OFF switch!! Aaaargh!

Quality:
Generally well done, but a bit too light. Negative note: the battery in most cases needs to be replaced.

Value:
definitively

Desirability:
very ugly, doesn't fit in the rack, many asked me if it was an old toy of mine...

Sound:
Warm sounds, good simulations, even better "invented" amps. The "gain" control is really impressive, you can get an incredible variety of sounds just with this one! Good effects: reverb (great), compressor (great), chorus / flanger / phaser (nice), tremolo (nice), leslie(nice) Average effects: delay Bad effects: Wha (almost useless)

Overall:
I've bought the PRO version

"WOW! This thing is a gas!"

Feature:
All you need is a giutar and something to plug it into.

Quality:
A friend has the old V-AMP and he uses it in a regular gigging band. Mine is for home studio use. No problems. I am impressed with Behringers quality.

Value:
I am constantly amazed at the quality and features that Behringer has. Great bang for the buck!

Desirability:
IT HAS KNOBS!!!!! I hate tapping buttons to make simple adjusments!I'm old school. I love seeing at a glance where my settings are. There a couple of buttons, but all the important stuff is right in front of your face to see!

Sound:
WOW!

Support:
So far I've never had to contact them.

Overall:
If someone stole it I would buy another right away. The only reason I gave it a 9 in this categorie is that I am always open to new ideas. If they simplified some of the banking procedures, I would probably upgrade. Otherwise this will be with me a very long time.

"This unit is a Mercedes Benz quality with Kia pricing...Amazing!!!"

Feature:
I really appreciate that this product includes the carrying case and the footswitch. The footswitch is so well built, it could easily be sold seperately for $50+, and the case could also be sold seperately and command a hefty premium. I also appreciate how the most useful features were included without overloading the entire unit.

Quality:
My entire experience with everything from how it was packaged to how well everything is made and assembled has been most excellent.

Value:
I genuinely feel that if this unit were offered in the $300 range it would still be a real bargain....at the current price of under $150 is absolutely astounding and any musician worth their salt would be foolhardy not to give one of these units a test run before spending lots of bucks on bloated, overpriced multi-effects processors offered by other companies.

Desirability:
This unit has effectively replaced the two pedal boards I have been using for 5 years. Did I mention each board held 10 effects pedals? This unit is sheer genius, coupled with available patch updates via the Behringer website just exceeds all customer expectations. A very rare thing in this day and age.

Sound:
It's amazing how it can sound so authentic without sounding sterile. Each setting is distinctly different from the other.

Support:
I've only dealt with the website and I've been able to find everything I needed using the website.

Overall:
I see myself using this unit until Behringer comes out with a newer model...and then only if it has something that I could use but isn't available with the V-Amp2. I honestly think this unit will become an heirloom for my 13yr. old son.
