!!METAL MATT!! Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ok I was just checking out the Behringer web sit for some new gear when I came across this head And It looks realy Line 6 inspired so Im just woundering If any one has any experience with it yet, Im realy in need of a cheep Amplifier Head But I need a CRUSH,KILL,DESTROY heavy sound. So Is this amp for me?? !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Not knowing a darn thing about this amp, I would be willing to assume it's a derived from there V-amp foot pedal (like the line 6 mini PODs are in there spider amps). In saying that, I'd keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 id say it is derived form the Vamp pro - the rack processor. i have this, and it simply kicks lots of ass! ill send you clips of it if you like, matt! id grab it for sure! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like the pedal I'd say go for it! I have the pedal that I'm running into the poweramp in of an acoustic amp and it sounds amazing! My ears say go with a nice tube amp but my wallet says go with behringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mledbetter Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Get it.. if you don't like it, you can "run it through" with your impaler I've heard good things about the VAmps.. One thing you have to remember, at least in my experience, is that the sounds on the modeling units are usually best for the high gain patches.. where I think they are lacking is in that very specific area of tube overdrive, where that perfect grit and grime can only come from a tube amp.. but when you're talking about a mesa triple-rect patch or some insane-gain thing, you don't have that issue. I'd say you could make that head as brutal as you want to. Given the style you play I can't imagine you would be disappointed. The ONLY thing i would worry about with this amp is the power.. 2x60 isn't that much in the solid state world.. It should crank plenty loud but you'll want to run it through a soundsystem if you play out where I would think. I saw a VAmp rack on ebay the other day go for 120-130 bucks.. the other option is to get the rack module, get a 300-watt or so power amp and a couple of mid sized loud speakers and you're set.

mledbetter Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 No clue about behringer cabs.. The price is right.. they would probably do for the time being.. You could always switch out speakers as time went on. The speaker and electronics gurus can answer better how to get the most volume out of the thing.. with your power output, i'm sure the number and combination of speakers you choose will be important.

Daniel Sorbera Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 The easiest way too increase volume is too get speakers that are higher sensitivity, such as the celestion ones with neodinium magnets. Using those speakers will up your volume quite a bit. But they cost alot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going To be paying 325.00-CAD Just for the Head And What CAB did You go with? !!METAL MATT!! ← I think your overpaying. It's $199 USD down here and that is $256 CAD. I think you need too find a place cheaper. I wouldn't pay more than $250 CAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the site he posted is cheaper at 149 Euro http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=12564 Now, what do I think about it. I think that its under powered, if you are interested in the effects with an amp it is a nice package for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 hey matt if you havn't already bought it I would go with this, It's the same thing as the head only with a 12" jensen speaker. It's like only $50 more. Not a bad deal for a 12" speaker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
