vamp 2

so finally i was able to figure out how to operate
my V-Amp 2. see, i'm not much into reading operating
manuals, but after days of being frustrated and not
being able to get the sound that i want, binasa ko rin
ang manual.

the v-amp is a guitar effects processor manufactured by
behringer (a german company, but really it's made in china).
while your ordinary stomp box is a no brainer (you just
turn a couple of knobs and voila!), this thing has 32 amp
simulations, 15 cabinet simulations, about 20 effects,
125 presets distributed in 25 banks and 3 band equalizers;
so it's more complicated to operate. i spent 3 hours
learning how to master the controls, and yesterday was an
achievement because i was able to program 5 presets that
would suit my playing style during praise and worship. i
put in some digital delay, chorus, and my personal favorite,
the tremolo.

so far it's been doing what i tell it to do. hehe. i was
able to buy it at half the price, very cheap compared to
line 6's pod. i guess at this point in time i'm not
crazy enough to buy a guitar gadget that costs 30 thousand
pesos. maybe in the future i will, so hintay ka lang diyan
line 6. hehe.
