"Excellent Product Overall"

Feature:
This product came with a foot switch (up/down), power adapter, and instruction manuals in a carrying case.

Quality:
The entire product is made of plastic. Mine arrived in perfect working conditon with no cosmetic blemnishes of any kind. It seems pretty well made considering it is plastic. I feel pretty assured that it will last through the years, as I am always gentle on my musical instruments and accessories. If your looking for more road worthy use i would consider the v-amp pro as its a rack mount unit.

Value:
Yes, this product is definetly worth the price. Ohter units sell for more money and dont have everything this has.

Desirability:
It has a sleek design to it, definetly modern in its appearance. I would like to see a power switch on the unit though.

Sound:
Excellent product, worth every single cent i paid for it! I mainly use this for recording and practicing. Overall the sound quality is excellent. You get so many effects/amp models for the price. The effects are very tweakable. You will however really need to read the instructions in order to get the full potential of the unit. It's a bit tricky at first, but after sometime with the manual, and tinkering its well worth the wait. Two downfalls to the unit are switching memory banks causes a lag time in effects.. so It's not the greatest for switching effects during live performances. There also is no power switch on the unit, but you can learn to live with that rather easily. I feel for the money you cant beat this. Especially if your using it for recording applications and practice. Download the manual for all the perks this thing has. There is also a free software download from Behringer for connecting via midi cable. The v-amp is programmable from the software as well.

Support:
i haven't had to contact behringer about the v-amp, but their website was easy to use for gettting software and user presets.

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied with this product for years to come. So far it has exceeded my expectations. I feel you cant beat this product for the money. If this item was lost or stolen I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new one.

"It's nice, but not nice enough"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Give me lights, buttons and knobs and you can keep me entranced for hours on end. The flexibility of this unit is great, lots and lots of options and settings to play with. However, the unit was damanged in a flood, and I didn't get a chance to really play around with it as much as I wish I had, but I wasn't impressed enough by it from what I DID do with it to make it worth paying to get it repaired.

Quality:
I don't like the plastic housing (though I suspect this kept the price down), also the lack of an on/off switch is a terrible idea; who wants to keep plugging and unplugging the thing all the time? On the other hand, the carrying bag is awesome.

Value:
Not a bad price, but unimpressive sounds make it less a value than it would otherwise have been. It's great as an amp simulator, but as an FX box, it leaves much to be desired.

Desirability:
Ever talk to a woman on the phone who you've never met, and she sounds so alluring and beautiful, but then you meet her and you're either just not all that impressed or it takes all your strength to keep from running away? Well, if you've had an experience like that, then you understand my feeling about the V-Amp. That's what it was like for me. I didn't want to run away, but found myself really wishing I'd gone with the Zoom B2.

Sound:
Amp simulations sound nice, and the included FX presets are just OK. Not a total waste of electronic components, but did not blow me away either, not even close.

Ease of Use:
It's not very intuitive, but relatively easy to figure out; even more so if you read the manual. Once you understand it, it's pretty simple. I doubt the average person will be able to get the best from it by pulling it out of the box and winging it. The footswitch is nice, but since you have to access the unit directly to change banks, it's rather limited in real usefulness.

Support:
I always rate support at '5' if have never used it, and I haven't needed to use support.

Overall:
I danced back and forth between this and the Zoom B2, and settled on the V-Amp because it has more patch locations and seemed to be more flexible, given all the buttons (see my FEATURES comment). However, I have to say I was not really impressed with the sounds I was able to get. While I liked the unit and the sounds, what I mean is, they didn't blow my sock off. Usually, I can come up with some very nice composition ideas just from playing around with different sounds, but this unit inspired nothing. Maybe two or three of the sounds I played with (and I did go through all the presets and amp combinations) were able to excite me, but that's it. Overall, I feel I made a $100 mistake and should have gone with the B2 instead (see my review of that product).
