History:
Purchase: I wanted arecording tool. I purchased this at Guitar Center. The price was $129.00.
What I Like About This Behriger V-AMP 2: First off, the tones are excellent. I demoed this unit versus the POD 2.0. There were some variations between the two, but I coudn't really decide between them based on tone and features.
The high gain stuff is great, but the gritty patches blew me away. Those clean tones with just the right break up when you WHAP the strings. This does that very well.
Features and tone not being an issue between the two models (pardon the pun nowadays), it then became a choice of price (including case, footswitch, etc.) vs. construction. More on this to follow.
What I Do NOT Like About The Behriger V-AMP 2: At this point, there's nothing that I don't like about the unit.
Behriger V-AMP 2 Quality Rating: OK, the construction. This is NOT a metal chasis, it's plastic. This might be a problem for some, but it's not an issue here.
First, I keep my equipment in the best possible condition that I can. Sure, if this took a fall, it might get damaged, so I won't let that happen. In 20 years, I've never had that happen, and I won't start now.
Also, the knobs have a nice feel, and the LED's are a great way to set your parameter values.
Review Summary: I am thrilled with this unit. They've done a great job and the sounds are top-notch. The interface is easy to use. I would buy this again, and certainly recommend it to a friend.
