FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of
X V-AMP users, and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in BEHRINGER by
purchasing the X V-AMP.
Writing this foreword
for you gives me great
pleasure, because it
represents the culmi-
nation of many months of
hard work delivered by
our engineering team to
achieve a very ambitious
goal: to present an
outstanding guitar multi-
effects floor unit whose
amazing functions offer
a maximum on flexibility
and performance. The task of designing our new X V-AMP
certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed
by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting
your expectations also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But
it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of
people together, and what a great feeling it is when all who
participated in such a project can be proud of what they’ve
achieved.
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because
you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.
With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve
made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making
it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality
as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely
reasonable price. All of this will let you give free rein to your
creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-
quality equipment at such unbelievably low prices. The answer
is quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass these benefits
on to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!
I would like to thank all of you who have made the X V-AMP
possible. You have all made your own personal contributions,
from the developers to the many other employees at this company,
and to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, it’s been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! By purchasing the X V-AMP, you’ve got your
hands on the latest-generation floor-based effects machine.
The X V-AMP gives you extensive options to create an
awesome stage show. The latest technology, simple and intuitive
operation and robust construction result in optimal performance
and dependability.
Your X V-AMP unites a selection of the best and most-liked
effects and amp simulations from our venerable V-AMP 2. These
effects and amp simulation can of course be edited and stored.
Additional features, such as compressor, noise gate and the
most current modulation effects, give you a maximum on flexibility
and let your creativity come to full expression.
1.1 Before you get started
Your X V-AMP was carefully packed at the factory to assure
it will survive the rigors of the road. If the cardboard packaging
looks like it’s been through a lot, please inspect the contents and
look for indications of damage.
+
In case your X V-AMP is damaged, DO NOT send it
directly to us. Instead, first notify the store where
you bought it as well as the carrier who made the
delivery. Otherwise, you may void your warranty.
Always make sure your X V-AMP gets enough air flow and
never put it near the heating or other heat-emitting equipment to
avoid damage to the device.
Power is delivered via the enclosed power supply. All requiered
safety precautions have been adhered to. As soon as you
connect the X V-AMP to the mains via the power supply, your
X V-AMP is automatically switched on.
