Behringer LX1-112 V-Ampire

Behringer LX1-112 V-Ampire

Las prestaciones de este ampli son realmente muchas, no perder?? el tiempo describi??ndolas ya que muchos lo han hecho en este lugar. Es Tremendamente vers??til, te permite una gama bien extensa de opciones que no he visto en otros amplis, puedes usarlo en directo, para grabar directamente en el estudio, puedes conectarlo a una c??nsola amplificandolo hasta que se te revienten los oidos, puedes conectarle todo lo que se te antoje en el panel trasero, desde CD player hasta lo que se te ocurra, en fin, realmente es un ampli que puedes usar tanto para directo como para una variada gama de opciones de grabaci??n. Lo que m??s se extra??a en este ampli es que no tenga una entrada USB, cuando se la pongan los Behringer, cre??nme que realmente le har??n una dura competencia a los productos Line 6 de esta gama. En la p??gina Behringer esta un programa de conecci??n via midi que te permite manejar ciertos par??metros desde la compu, sin embargo no he podido hacerlo, esto del midi se me esta complicando algo, pero es un problema de cultura personal. Por la falta de puerto usb y lo complicado que me resulta lo midi le pondr?? un nueve, pero en verdad las prestaciones de este ampli son m??ltiples, ??tiles, buenas y poco comunes en amplificadores de guitarra de esta gama. son prestacione excelentes tanto para un novato como para un profesional, lo digo en serio.

El primer dia que lo enchufe casi lloro de arrepentimiento, me sonaba a mierda pura, maldije a Behringer y a toda su generaci??n, pero repirando profundo y leyendo bien el manual, aplicando las opciones que ofrece el ampli,la cosa cambio totalmente. Le ped?? perd??n de rodillas a Behringer y a sus ancestros, jejeje. Tiene muchas opciones de salida programables, cada una de ellas con opciones diferentes y sumamente ??tiles a mi parecer. OJO: Le??rse bien el manual es la clave!
La opcion L1 y L2 Son buenas para sonarlo directo, las dem??s son para grabaci??n y estudio, hay que estar pendiente de eso!

Realmente bueno el sonido despues de jugar con el manual y los botones! Es sumamente pl??stico a la hora de seleccionar, tiene una variada gama de simuladores de amplificador que realmente suenan bien, no ser??n imitaciones sonicas id??nticas a los originales, pero se acercan, te permiten una gama bien amplia de opciones de sonido, 32 simulaciones de ampli que pueden encajar con cualquier estilo. Tengo el Ri??on rojo de Line 6, el famoso POD xt, el GNX4 y una monta??a de pedalillos de todas las marcas, pero con franqueza, prefiero el simulador de este ampli que no es mas que una version entre Vamp 2 y el vamp pro, Ac?? el asunto es de gusto personal y buscar el sonido individual de acuerdo al estilo. Tiene un brillito valvular en algunas simulaciones que me encanta, cosa que no percibo en POD xt, de hecho lo tengo guardado y no lo vendo porque colecciono pedales y tiene sus cosillas buenas tambi??n. Las distorsiones, a mi gusto, son de la puta madre, buenas de verdad! Los limpios suenan bastante bien en ciertas simulaciones de ampli, todo es darle a los botones, y cr??eme que te acercaras al sonido que estas buscando.

La corneta que trae no es buena, pero al conectarlo a otros gabinetes la cosa cambia radicalmente. Es recomendable cambiarle la corneta. Personalmente muto la salida interna del ampli cuando toco en el sal??n y lo conecto a un Laney MXd (solid state) de 120 W. Suena el conjunto de la put??sima madre. En mi estudio casero trabajo con los cocos, de lo contrario me expulsarian de la residencia, sin embargo tocando en ensayos en sal??n peque??o con amigos el sonido queda bien tal como viene. Es un amplificador poco potente en volumen, cuando estas solo perfecto, pero cuando tocas con otros y sobre todo con un baterista lamentas su poca fuerza, creo que realmente no tiene los RMS que dice Tener. A veces tengo que conectarlo a la consola cuando no uso el Laney MXD para compensar un poco

Los efectos de sonido son realmente buenos, para mi gusto, reverb y ecos son importantes y estos que trae me satisfacen. Las distorsiones en algunos modelos de ampli son la verga de triana, algo ruidosas de fondo, problema que tienen casi todos los amplis y que se soluciona bien con el Noise gate que trae el ampli o uno externo, personalmente uso el Nosise supresor Boss NS-2.

En conclusion, el sonido es bueno de verdad, y los efectos tambien con la condicion de que estudies el manual y realmente experimentes. Por la poca calidad de la corneta interna y la baja potencia en volumen le pongo un nueve tomando en consideracion el precio del ampli ( muy economico en eso le pongo 10.000), pero insisto, suena muy bien!

Para la gama de precio que tiene el ampli realmente no puedes esperar calidad excelente en los componentes. Los botoncilos de pl??stico se ven y sienten algo delicados, hasta el momento no he tenido problemas, pero me cuido de que un golpecillo transforme en escremento plastificado los botones. ojo cuando lo transportes! La caja esta bien, buen acabado en general. Por la gama de precio que tiene le pondre un 9

Hasta el momento no lo he requerido, el manual es bastante explicito y me aclara las cosas. Algo tedioso a veces para leerlo, pero realmente este amplificador tiene muchas prestaciones minuciosas.

He tocado guitarra y bajo durante mas de 25 a??os, rocker de coraz??n, me paseo desde el pop, blues hasta el Heavy metal mas duro. He probado y tenido una gama bien extensa de amplificadores durante toda mi vida, los he probado y tenido de tubos asi como tambien solid state. Pedales tengo una lista bien extensa, realmente colecciono pedales.T engo 10 guitarras electricas, (Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Epiphone y varias koreanas envenenadas por mi que ahora son mis preferidas, un bajo y dos electroac??sticas). Esto de los ampli es un asunto de gusto y oido personal. Por la relacion calidad precio, las prestaciones y el sonido que tiene este ampli le pongo un 10 redondo. Si lo perdiera me comprara otro o tal vez el Vamp pro para sustituirlo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. felicitaciones a Behringer!

The features on this amp are great and there is a really wide variety of whatever you want, all popular effects are there such as wah or delay or flanger or chorus

sounds good but the clean sounds can be a little spoiled and most of the time it sounds very...meshy, but hook it up to a descent speaker and all that goes

i've owned 2 of these, the first one just stopped working completley lucky it was under warrantee but i still had to wait 2 months until i got another one in return, and guess what, this one loses its memory every time its turned off and it has to be reset so if i want to gig or something ill have to set up all the presets that i want for that certain show right before i have to start and its really frustratiung

they get back to you in a day, but take 2 months to send you back whatever you sent to them to get fixed or exchange for something else

its a really good amp but having to reset the settings everytime i turn it on is a real pain so as far as ive heard noone else has had this problem but yeah, just to be on the safe side if your interested in gigging don't get this but just for jams at home and recoding etc its good just having to reset all the time is a bugger, but the presets that it already has is very good, but there is no good clean channels that sound completley clear

i don't think this amp was made for the hard core pro that just gigs, even though its just loud enough for a not so loud drummer. instead it was made for guy that can take it to a garage jam or open mic at any bar or play solo with backing traks at gatherings,or this amp can be used as a small recording studio,i plug in a tape deck,a portable cd player, and not only can i play to backing traks but i could record them too.i plug in stereo speakers and this amp dose it all.try making a tape of yourself playing to backing traks with one amp! and to top it off i only paid 200.00 bucks for it brand new at gc,

it seems to do everything very well in the sound dept and better than most other modeling amps. it blows away anything in its price range

tighten the screws and add a few to the speaker and its cool. three years no problems

great web sight. never used support

playing for 7 years,have loads of shit, this product impresd me becouse of what it can do. i compareded it to a spyder,glad i got this one. if it got robbed i would get the rack mount version or the 2 10" version. great pice

Early model. 50W (x2 if you use an external cab as well). Jensen speaker (I have upgraded to a Celestion Greenback)
Covered many times already. Very versatile amp for those on a budget. etc.

This amp can do pretty much anything, but not hugely well. I use it with a variety of guitars (the best of which is a Maton MS2000DLX), running through a Boss V-Wah.
You can get ALOT of different sounds out of this amp, but if anything, there are too many options to adjust. 5 different "base" setups (studio 1-3, live 1,2) that each have their own different timbre (sound). I have found it difficult to get any clean sparkle out of this amp, and the distorted channels are a bit thin. I originaly thought that this may have been a speaker issue, because the "custom design" Jensen speaker is a bit crap. So I bought a Celestion Greenback (which is only 25w, but I don't gig with this amp), which made a HUGE difference, but it still sucks. Distorted channels are very digital sounding, and clip very easily, resulting in mud. The only way to fix this is to turn the input gain down, meaning it doesn't sound any good at all. The amp also gets a nasty hum on the gain channels, fixed only by turning the noise gate right up, which, in turn, kills your sustain. I don't get the hum on my 15w Peavey Rage, or on my Boogie Recto-verb.

This amp does not cut through a band AT ALL. hard to gig with. Great for mucking about tho.

Effects, however, are quite good. Phaser, delay, chorus, auto wah, cominations of the above + others. Reverb can be awesome if you can work out how to make it work for you. there are something like 15 different reverb "modes", from a toilet to a padded room to a cathedral.

This is my backup/practice amp (the Boogie doesn't have a headphone jack, and I live in an apartment), so it doesn't get a huge amount of use or attention. I've had it for around 3.5 years (in the first two it was my main amp) and havn't even had to change the backup battery. Never had any issues.

Never had to talk to them. Good website. Crap manual.

I've played for 10 years. I bought this amp as my first "gigable" amp, and it survived. Love the versatility, but the sounds are a bit ****.If it was stolen, I'd be a little pissed off, but I wouldn't get another. I wish it had more grunt, so it didn't clip so easily.
It gets a 9 because it was SO CHEAP!

Digital Modeling Amp - Essentially a V-Amp2 with a power amp and a 12" Speaker.

Mine is a couple of years old and came with a Jensen speaker, I believe the latest models have a Bugera.

I use this as a studio / recording amp and live with an extension cab.

Feature list is robust - On board tuner, headphone jack, MIDI in/out/thru, 32 amp models, multiple efx & reverbs. Selectable speaker sim and multiple routing as well as DI connectivity is pretty darn cool.

25 banks of 5 locations for patches (125 total).

Cost to Performance ratio on this amp is Tremendous! BUT..."Plug and Play" it is NOT. You have to spend quite some time tweaking the parameters. The factory pre-sets and default settings do not do justice to what you can get out of this beast.

IMO You MUST read the manual 2x-3x to get the most out of this amp. Not the best written document and they breeze past really esssential things (Drive function, noise gate, 2nd effect parameters etc,etc,etc)

Many of the complaints I read here in this forum seem to simply come from not reading the manual and then spending the time to get to know this beast!

Free software from Behringer lets you really dig deep into the configuartions too.

My Big Complaint? I sure wish the included footswitch had more functionality - you can access the tuner and toggle between the 5 pre-sets of the bank you're in....and that's it.

It would be nice to be able to access the "Tap" function and toggle up and down the 25 banks.

Not crazy about the abundence of plastic parts.

Still - must give this a 9 due to the OUTRAGEOUS value this amp represents.

The sounds / variety of tones out this amp are amazing!

I play primarily strats and teles.

I play rock, blues, fusion

MANY useable models here - I especially like the Fender Black Twin and JCM 800 models for clean sounds and the Boogie IIc & Soldano model for overdriven sounds

Some real tonal beauties are here - especilly good is the "clean to just starting to break up sounds" You can tweak the presence just right to add some tube like shimmer...

Tone controls are parametric (they boost AND cut) so bear this in mind if you are messing around with say a Fender Tweed model that originally had NO tone control to begin with!

Again - RTFM!!!

Little Tips...

You can adjust the noise gate (Q - Why do my notes die out A - The noise gate is kicking on, crank it down!)

Q - Can it be louder?

A - You can adjust the pick-up input sensitivity - Strat sounds too quiet or Humbuckers too wooley - adjust it!

Gain Structure - You can select a much higher volume / gain structure for playing live.

Compressor adds a tone of gain too

I am giving it a 9 in this category with the understanding that we are looking at cost to performance.

Does this $ 250 amp sound like each boutique amp it models? Of course not - But it sure puts you close to the various tonal neighborhoods and records pretty convincingly.

So far, so good...2 years - no problems.

Build is a little suspect - lots of plastic parts, probably notthe amp you'd take on a world tour...But again - cost to value is amazing.

Never had to deal with Behringer

I have been playing for 20+ years.

I am an amp collector and own a variety of amps including a couple of Fenders, a Carvin Nomad, a couple of Peaveys, a Seymour Duncan "convertible" and a Ampeg Reverb Rocket.

I orignally bought this since I was really digging on my V-AMP 2 as a headphone amp / recording tool and wanted to try some of the sounds live.

Light Weight and self contained were additional considerations.

I would absolutely buy this amp again!

I play the classic rock music of from 60's to the 90's, and I'm pleased.
I think the amp modells and the cabinet simulations are amazing, but the effects too! But I only use the auto-wah, and delay. The other effects are not important for me.
The power is enough I think. We rehearse not so loud with my band.
2 weeks ago was our first concert, and many people said, that it had a perfect tube sound! I've used the popular "Brit Hi-Gain" (Marshall JCM 800 simulation)with my Squier Standard FAT Stratocaster, and it was awesome!

My favourite amp modells are : Brit Hi-gain,American Blues,Californian Drive,Californian Clean and Black Twin. Some of the clean channels are distorted on at high gain but it's natural I think, just like in tube amps.
The distorted sounds are amazing, this is the best thing in this V-AMP I think. I can't hear any digital color! Perfect! I use humbucker and single coils too, but the clean sounds should be better, they're not so powerful.

I started play guitar 4 years ago. I had a little 30W dean markley amlifier before this. If stolen...maybe yes,if I don't have enough money to buy a tube amp. I love it for the perfect simulations,but I don't like that the clean sounds are not so brilliant. Little bit..digital.Maybe the sample rate is low (31.250 KhZ).

I've tried some of the Line6 spider series but they're horrible I think..too many treble..and the distortion's are bad jokes.

An expression pedal..yes I need it to change the modulation,and to use the wah effect manual.But I will buy a CryBaby next week.

I think this is the best amplifier in this price catogory. It's VERY VERY cheap...for it's quality!

This is the swiss-army knife of amps. Too many features for most players...but that can be a good thing.

I've owned two LX112's and one LX210 for around a year now. First things first, tighten ALL screws on this guy! If you don't, chances are it will sound like it's gonna explode when you crank her up. The build quality is decent for the price....meaning that out of 3 of these one has a big dent on the bottom appearing as if it was dropped. Two had pretty big tears in the covering material, both in places that are hard to notice...on the bottom of the amp. All amps were functional though.

Bottom line, if you want a tube sound...then buy a tube amp. DUH! If you want the sound of a JCM800, then buy a JCM800. But the sounds out of these beasts are very usable. You MUST spend the time to learn how to use it though.

There is a delay when switching between amp-types. Answer...simple, use the same amp when you need instant switching. Just set them up with different gain settings and you'll be good to go.

The other major problem as noted elsewhere....these are not rated at RMS. Behringer lists them as 120 watts stereo/ 70 watts mono. But don't think that you will be as loud as a 100 watt RMS amplifier...because it won't be. It's loud enough for me though, especially running in stereo through an 4x12 cabinet. Mic the amp, or go direct if you need the monster volumes.

I would NOT use it without a back up. That's just common sense with ANY amp.

This is plastic fantastic..
Skip the hi gain pre amps, and the cab simulators.. run it in L1 mode, put a Huges&Kettner Warp Factor in front of it, using the California Clean mode.. and discover real Rammstein-Recto sound.
The effects are OK. This is an amp that covers a lot. WORK WITH IT, and you'll be surprised. I use this mainly in a studio, it's fabulos when mic'ed up. Loud enough for small gigs, sounds awesome through a PA.

Recto or clean, the V-Ampire delivers. Must be tweaked, none of the pre sets are useable out of the box IMHO. Use your ear, and tweak some more. I have several Ibanez guitars, RG ones equipped with stock V7 pick ups, and down. But my fav. is a real cheapo (Fat Strat) Tradition, which beats most of the Strats I have tried in my life. I've been playing on/off since 1978.

It is not build for road use. But, I'd say, let it be a combo! The Jensen 12 " is fab. Sounds much like the Jensen speakers of old Gibson combos, even though they are hard to compare. Gibson combos (the old good ones, were strictly tube driven) At first (when connecting it to a 4*12 cab) it sounds nice, but then, switching back and forth, I came to the conclusion, (depending of the job also) that this plastic thing, sounds best (great, infact) as the combo it is.
Once again, it is amazing in the studio, tapped w. microphone.

Never needed it. I have one of the first ones that came to this country.

I have a Peavey 30, a Crate 5 Wattr. Had, Marshalls, MSB F-50. etc.
This one covers them all. For the buck, this is incredible.

I think that this is an extremely brilliant amp, from it's sound quality to its effects.
And ive played on a couple million amps and this has been one of the best that i have played it even compares to some of the many marshalls that i myself have played on.

The amps clean sound is brilliant you can play loads of different type of stuff from Nirvana to Bryan Adams and to stuff like The who.
But to get this amp's brilliant distortion sounds i set my amp on clean and use my distortion pedal (Boss Hyper Metal) To get an awesome sound but you must fiddle around with the amps eq's before it starts sounding good it took me quite a while to get the full potential of my amp.

I have never had a problem nor have i heard of anyone having probles with this amp.

Never had to.

I haven't been playing guitar in particular for long but i have been involved with sound tech and doing recordings for varios bands/artists. And i have found on all the amps that i have heard and played on this is an extremely good buy

I play funk. i dont need a lot of gain, but this amp still does have nice gain options. theres a set of eq, low mid high, gain, volume. in EDIT mode, theres another set of eqs and a gain mode. think of the eqs and gain selection in EDIT as the eq of your guitar so to speak and not the voice of the amp, and the gain as an output compressor. these controls help you to work with your guitars voice to attain your sound, after youve tweaked your amps voice. models, as far as amps go, theres a good selection. i doubt they sound anything like they say they are suposed to (im not experienced there), but the selection is nice. others will say the same, PLAY THIS IN L2 MODE!!! it gives it really nice tube character (again not the same, but id say as close as it gets for the type of amp it is, and for the bargain) read your manual. speaker outs, so you can carry this thing around, or hook up to make a very inexpensive and rewarding stack.

Effects, i do not like. only ones i put to use are the compressor, delays and, well thats it.reverb types on this thing are great. im pleased with the tone of this amp for the price. first amp, have had it for 2 years, and in the nect few year i will get into the all tube amp. for now im satisfied, as are all the other kids with their stupid line 6 spiders and crates. they love to jam through my setup, that was half the price of theirs.

hasnt failed.

Fantastic value, READ the manual to get the fullest out of it and this inexepenisve starter amp will satisfy you all the way.
