X V-AMP LX1-X User Manual  
1. Introduction  
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.  
2. Control Elements and Connectors  
In this chapter, we will describe different control elements of your X V-AMP.  
All controls and connectors will be explained in detail, and you will also get  
useful advice on how to use them.  
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.  
2.1 Basic advice on using the controls  
Here is some quick information about the most basic and most important control  
elements of your X V-AMP.  
Keys (3), (5), (7), (9) and (11) : use these keys to directly select effects  
settings and operating modes.  
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.  
FX/AMPS control (14) : Uset the right-hand half to select amp simulations in a  
preset. The corresponding LED lights up. Use the left-hand half to select the  
effects. When effects blocks are selected using the keys (7), (9) and (11),  
the LED on the current effect lights up.  
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.  
TAP LED (12) : The frequency at which the LED blinks indicates the speed  
and/or the rhythm of a delay or a modulation effect (also see chapter 6  
“EFFECTS PROCESSOR”).  
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.  
By keeping TAP depressed, 2nd FUNCTION (13) is activated. By doing this,  
the second level of the FX/AMPS control (14) (gray) and ADJUST (1) is accessible.  
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.  
Footswitches UP (16) and DOWN (17) : Used to select presets; these  
presets are indicated in the DISPLAY (15). Footswitches UP (16) and  
DOWN (17) are also used to activate the BYPASS/TUNER function  
(also see chapter 7 “TUNER”).  
1.1.1 Online registration  
DISPLAY LEDs: PEDAL ASSIGN indicates the function to which the pedal  
has been assigned. CONFIGURATION permanently indicates the selected  
operating mode.  
Please register your new BEHRINGER equipment right after your purchase  
warranty carefully.  
(1) ADJUST: Used to perform various adjustments. You can find more  
information about using ADJUST in the descriptions of individual control  
elements as well as in chapter 6 “EFFECTS PROCESSOR”.  
Should your BEHRINGER product malfunction, it is our intention to have it  
repaired as quickly as possible. To arrange for warranty service, please contact  
the BEHRINGER retailer from whom the equipment was purchased. Should your  
BEHRINGER dealer not be located in your vicinity, you may directly contact  
one of our subsidiaries. Corresponding contact information is included in the  
original equipment packaging (Global Contact Information/European Contact  
Information). Should your country not be listed, please contact the distributor  
nearest you. A list of distributors can be found in the support area of our  
website (http://behringer.com).  
GAIN. Use this control to regulate the drive of the amp simulation,  
i.e. the degree of distortion. Use it when none of the keys (3), (5), (7), (9)  
or (11) are blinking.  
VOLUME: If you hold the TAP key (12) depressed, using ADJUST lets you  
adjust the volume of a preset.  
(2) STORE. The presets on the X V-AMP are saved using the STORE key. If the  
STORE key lights up, it means that a preset has been changed but has not yet  
been stored. By keeping the STORE key depressed (longer than 2 seconds),  
the newly edited preset is stored. When the STORE LED is no longer lit up,  
the stored preset shown in the display is now active.  
Registering your purchase and equipment with us helps us process your repair  
claims more quickly and efficiently.  
Thank you for your cooperation!

After briefly pressing the STORE key (the STORE key blinks), use the  
UP/DOWN keys to select another storage slot. By briefly pressing the  
STORE key yet again, the save procedure is canceled. Complete the save  
by keeping the STORE key depressed for longer than 2 seconds.  
(6) BASS EQ. Simultaneously press COMPR. (5) and MODUL. (7) (both LEDs  
are blinking) to control bass frequencies in a preset. Use ADJUST to increase  
or decrease low frequencies. Keep TAP pressed while turning ADJUST to  
determine if you want to affect only the deepest frequencies (ADJUST turned  
all the way to the left) or if you also want to affect higher bass frequencies.  
You can restore a single factory preset by keeping the TAP and STORE  
keys depressed simul-taneously for longer than 2 seconds. You can also (7) MODULATION. After you press this key (its LED blinks), you can select  
restore all factory presets. This is done by keeping both TAP and STORE  
keys depressed for longer than 2 seconds and then powering up the

one of the eight modulation effects by using the FX/AMPS control (14) :  
Chorus, flanger, phaser, pitch bend, tremolo, rotary, auto wah and P-funk’n.  
You get to the second-layer effects (gray) by keeping the TAP key depressed  
while you are turning the FX/AMPS control; the 2nd FUNCTION LED lights  
up. ADJUST controls the effect ratio in the preset. The speed parameter is  
adjusted using TAP. By hitting MODUL. (7) again, or by selecting a different  
parameter, you quit.  
(3) NOISE G. The NOISE GATE is active and can be edited when the key LED is  
lit up. The threshold can be controlled by using ADJUST. When the ADJUST  
control is turned all the way to the left, the NOISE GATE is off and the LED is  
no longer lit up.  
You can find a more detailed description of modulation effects and how they  
function in chapter 6 “EFFECTS PROCESSOR”.  
“Release” is adjusted using the ADJUST control while the TAP key is depressed.  
How the NOISE GATE works is explained in chapter 6.1.3.  
Modulation effects auto wah, pitch bend and P-Funk’n cannot be  
used simultaneously with Wah Wah. If you select one of these three  
effects while the pedal is already assigned to the wah wah effect,  
its assignment to the pedal is annulled (the WAH LED in the display is  
no longer lit up).  
(4) CONFIGURE. By simultaneously pressing NOISE G. (3) and COMPR. (5),  
you get to the configuration menu. Use the COMPR. or NOISE G. keys  
to alternate between indi-vidual operating modes. This way, you can  
implement a global setting on your X V-AMP that lets you adjust to  
different studio and live situations. A table with all configurations as well as  
additional information on this subject can be found in chapter 3.  
Assigning the expression pedal to the Wah Wah effect automatically  
deactivates auto wah and pitch bend respectively, so that no  
modulation effect is active (all modulation effect and ADJUST LEDs  
are no longer lit up).  
Press COMPR. and NOISE G. simultaneously again to leave  
CONFIG. mode.  
(5) COMPRESSOR. Press this key to get to the compressor menu. Use the  
ADJUST control to regulate “ratio”, or use TAP + ADJUST to regulate “attack”.  
When the ADJUST control is turned all the way to the left, the COMPRESSOR  
is off and the LED is no longer lit up.  
(8) PRESENCE. You activate PRESENCE by simultaneously pressing MODUL.  
(7) and DELAY (9) (both LEDs are blinking). Starting at the middle setting  
of the ADJUST control (neutral), the share of PRESENCE (high frequencies)  
can be lowered or increased in a preset. Keeping TAP pressed while you turn  
ADJUST allows you to determine the center frequency of the filter.  
How the compressor works is explained in chapter 6.1.3.  
 
7
X V-AMP LX1-X User Manual  
(9) DELAY. Pressing this key adjusts DELAY. A delay lets you create a lag in  
the input signal similar to an echo. Use ADJUST to regulate the intensity;  
when you keep TAP pressed while you turn ADJUST, you set up feedback.  
The rhythm in which you tap at the TAP key determines the time between  
individual echos.  
(13) 2nd FUNCTION. As soon as any second-layer function on the FX/AMPS  
control is dialed up, 2nd FUNCTION LED lights up.  
(14) FX/AMPS. A LED on the FX/AMPS control indicates the current AMP model.  
If the 2nd FUNCTION LED is also lit up, you’re dealing with one of the second-  
layer AMP models (gray); if not, then one of the first-layer AMP models is  
selected (white). By turning FX/AMPS (and by holding tap, if necessary),  
you can switch to another AMP model.  
(10) PEDAL ASSIGN. Press DELAY (9) and REVERB (11) simultaneously to  
assign a function to the EXPRESSION PEDAL (“PA” is shown in the display).  
At the same time, one of the right-hand LEDs in the display is blinking  
(speed, effect, volume, wah). Now you can assign one of the following  
functions to the pedal:  
IF the effect block is selected (MODULATION (7), DELAY (9) or REVERB LED  
(11) blinks), the respective effect type can be read-off and selected using  
the FX/AMPS control. By turning the FX/AMPS control (and by holding TAP,  
if necessary), you can switch to another effect.  
Speed: to dial up the SPEED parameter of an effect, hit the respective effect  
module key ((7) or (9)) and then briefly press TAP: SPEED, TAP and effect  
key LEDs are blinking.  
If one of the AMPS LEDs lights up (right half), use ADJUST to control  
either GAIN or VOLUME.  
Effect: To modify effect parameters “mix”, “depth”, “feedback” and “decay”  
using the pedal, press the effect module key of your choice and then modify  
the desired parameter (either using Adjust or Adjust + TAP): the EFFECT LED  
blinks in the display (2nd Function and the effect key where applicable).  
If one of the EFFECT LEDs lights up (left half), use ADJUST to control the  
respective effect parameters.  
(15) The DISPLAY indicates which preset has been selected and gives  
information on the modifications done during editing. When the TUNER is  
activated, the DISPLAY indi-cates which tone is played on the instrument you  
connected to your X V-AMP.  
Volume: If you want to use the expression pedal to control the  
volume, hold TAP and briefly move ADJUST. The 2nd FUNCTION and  
VOLUME LEDs blink.  
Gain: To use the expression pedal to control GAIN in a preset, you only have  
to quickly modify GAIN using ADJUST (VOLUME LED blinks); then, use the  
pedal to modify GAIN.  
Wah Wah: Pressing the expression pedal automatically selects the wah  
function. The Wah LED blinks.  
Summary: To assign a parameter to the expression pedal, you have to  
activate “PEDAL ASSIGN” and modify the desired parameter.  
Auto wah and pitch bend are automatically deactivated as long as the  
expression pedal controls the Wah Wah effect.  
To confirm a new selection you made and to abandon PEDAL ASSIGN,  
hit DELAY ( 9 ) and REVERB (11) at the same time again.  
Fig. 2.2: X V-AMP display  
(11) REVERB. Press this key to set up REVERB. A reverb effect lets you simulate  
room characteristics in the overall sound. You can choose between  
4 different reverb types: Ambience, cathedral, spring and reverb.  
The FX/AMPS control lets you select between reverb and cathedral, and if  
you keep TAP pressed at the same time, then you can additionally select  
between spring and ambience (second layer).  
(16) DOWN. Use this footswitch to dial down presets (99 - 00, downwards).  
Keep the footswitch depressed longer to skip through the presets downwards.  
(17) UP. Use this footswitch to dial up presets (00 - 99, upwards). Keep the  
footswitch depressed longer to skip through the presets upwards.  
By simultaneously pressing both footswitches, the TUNER/BYPASS  
mode is activated. To deactivate it, you can simply press one of the  
footswitches. Additional information on the TUNER can be found in  
chapter 7 “TUNER”.  
The adjustable reverb parameters are decay and mix.  
ADJUST controls the mix, and ADJUST + TAP control decay.  
A description of individual reverb types can be found in chapter 6.2.  
(12) The TAP key performs several functions:  
(18) EXPRESSION PEDAL. The expression pedal controls (among others)  
the Wah Wah effect. The switch located beneath the pedal switches the  
Wah Wah on and off in this case.  
GAIN/VOLUME: Use ADJUST to determine the amount of distortion (GAIN).  
If you keep TAP pressed while you move ADJUST, you control the volume of a  
preset instead.  
PEDAL ASSIGN lets you assign another function to the pedal  
(e. g. volume, effect intensity etc.). See also (10).  
When editing effect blocks, ADJUST lets you access the second function layer (19) LINE OUT/PHONES. You can take the audio signal of your X V-AMP at the  
for parameter settings.  
LINE OUT/PHONES connector. You can either connect your headphones to the  
X V-AMP, or connect the X V-AMP to a mixer.  
FX/AMPS control and 2nd FUNCTION: Hitting TAP lets you select the  
second layer of the effects and AMP simulations (gray).  
(20) MONO AMP OUT. Connect the input of your guitar amp here. In contrast to  
the LINE OUT/PHONES signal, this signal is reproduced with a level that is  
20 dB lower.  
Speed: Keep hitting the TAP key in the rhythm of a song, and the selected  
effect (delay or modulation effect) adjusts itself automatically to the  
tapped rhythm.  
(21) INSTRUMENT INPUT. This is the 1" jack input of your X V-AMP. Connect your  
instrument here. Always use high-quality 1" mono jack cables.

X V-AMP LX1-X User Manual  
(22) AC IN. Connect the enclosed power supply to the AC IN connector.  
As soon as you plug the power supply into the mains, your X V-AMP  
is automatically “on”. More information on the power supply can be  
found in chapter 9 “Specifications”.  
Volume is adjustable globally by using the ADJUST control.  
Input gain can be adjusted using ADJUST + TAP, so that you can adjust your  
X V-AMP globally to instruments with varying output signal levels, whereby the  
following goes: a higher setting is for quieter instruments, and a lower setting is  
for louder instruments.  
3. Operating Modes (Configurations)  
OPERATING MODE  
X V-AMP CONFIGURATION  
An outstanding characteristic of the entire V-AMP product line is the freedom  
to personally select which signal segments (according to your own needs and  
desires) will be fed to the outputs. To optimally adjust your X V-AMP to various  
studio and live situations, you can select one of the 9 possible configurations.  
These configurations assign where individual signals for line outputs and  
headphone outputs are coming from—and all this independent from the  
settings stored in the presets.

The very heart of your X V-AMP is its amp/speaker simulation. The X V-AMP  
makes it a child’s play for you to choose one of the legendary guitar amps,  
be it for brit pop, blues, heavy metal or whatever. In addition, you can tailor  
the sound of the respective amp to suit your ideas. On top of all that, you can  
even choose digital effect and reverb types for your virtual amp. See chapter 6  
“EFFECTS PROCESSOR” for more details.  
reverb.  
When you turn on your X V-AMP, it automatically loads the last preset selected.  
The LED ring around the FX/AMPS control shows what amp has been selected.  
The corresponding LED lights up. To select another amp simply turn the control.  
When the STORE key lights up, it means that a preset was modified but has not  
been stored yet. When the STORE LED is no longer on, the stored preset shown  
in the display is active. When the STORE key blinks (briefly press STORE), you can  
use the UP/DOWN footswitches ((16) & (17)) to dial up another storage space,  
where you can then store the current settings. Storing is done by keeping the  
STORE key pressed longer than 2 seconds.  
To give you a better overview of the extensive range of amp simulations on  
the X V-AMP, we have compiled the following descriptions of the different  
types of amps.  
CLASSIC CLEAN: Back in the ’80s, the Roland JC-120 was the preferred sound  
of Buzzy Feiten (guitarist with the Dave Weckl Band). The unique quality of this  
transistor amp’s sound is the way its brilliance cuts through any mix. It is ideal for  
the New Wave sound of the ’80s that is making a comeback today. By the way,  
the JC-120 was also popular among Fender Rhodes pianists.  
A single factory preset can be restored by keeping TAP + STORE pressed for  
longer than 2 seconds. You can also restore all factory presets by keeping  
TAP + STORE pressed for longer than 2 seconds while you are powering  
up your X V-AMP.  
When you dial up a preset or when editing a preset is complete, the key LEDs  
indicate the active blocks.  
V-AMP CRUNCH: This amp is ideal for modern blues or jazz. Its sound is not too  
subtle, but not in-your-face either—it’s crunchy, that’s all.  
4.1 Calling up presets  
The preset you used last is always automatically recalled when you turn your  
X V-AMP on.  
BRITISH PLEXI: This amp model, created by leaning closely to a ’59 Marshall  
Plexi 100-Watt amp, is particularly well suited for creating clean sounds.  
The amp was used by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.  
BRIT CLASS A: This simulation is modeled on the Vox AC 30. This amp  
was originally designed in the ’60s when guitarists wanted amps with  
enhanced brilliance, a feature that Vox successfully implemented by means  
of “revolutionary” bass and treble controls. Brian May and U2’s The Edge are  
probably the best-known users of this sound.  
4.2 Editing presets  
Editing presets on your X V-AMP is quick and easy to do. One way to do this is to  
call up a preset of your choice and then modify it according to your own taste.  
Select an amp model of your choice by turning the FX/AMPS control.  
BRIT HI GAIN: Compare this model with a Marshall JCM 800. Although the  
original was renowned mainly for its distorted sounds, this amp also sounds very  
good with low gain settings. It’s good at reproducing Steve Ray Vaughan’s and  
Michael Landau’s sounds. In distortion mode it sounds like Gary Moore in his early  
days, but it’s also good for heavy metal.  
The STORE LED is lit up, signalizing that you have modified a preset. If you now  
wish to add a modulation effect to this preset, simply press the MODUL key (7).  
Now you can use the FX/AMPS control to make a selection among the effects.  
To store your settings, keep the STORE key pressed for about 2 seconds.  
Almost all delay and modulation effects feature a tempo or time  
parameter. Say, you want to adjust an effect to the tempo of your  
playback material: To do this, tap the TAP key at least twice in the beat  
of your music. The effect tempo adjusts itself automatically to the  
tempo of your music.  
SAVAGE BEAST: Engl is well-known for amps that really cut through. The Savage  
120 in particular has built up a large following among guitarists. For some time  
now Ritchie Black-more has been a major endorser of this German company,  
and Randy Hanson, the best Hendrix since Jimi, also swears by this amp.  
The unique feature of the Savage is its extreme power and is therefore highly  
popular with heavy metal guitarists. Silent Force/Sinner guitarist Alex Beyrodt  
has been an enthusiastic Engl user for years. An amp for making yourself heard!  
4.3 Storing presets  
When the STORE key is blinking (briefly pressing STORE) you can use the  
UP/DOWN footswitches ((16) & (17)) to dial up another storage slot so you can  
store your current settings at this location. You store your settings by keeping  
the STORE key pressed for longer than 2 seconds.  
NUMETAL GAIN: This model is based on a 1994 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier  
Trem-O-Verb featuring a modern, high-gain sound that also comes over well in a  
band context.  
MODERN GAIN: Here, the tone control is post-gain, allowing the extremely  
distorted sound to cut through the mix. The MODERN HI GAIN sound is ideal  
for playing grunge, but is also used by guitarists such as Steve Vai and Joe  
Satriani. Among others, Steve Lukather, Nuno Bettencourt and Steve Vai have all  
popularized the Soldano sound. If you’re playing a Gibson Les Paul, MODERN HI  
GAIN sounds best when you turn down the volume control on the guitar a little.  
4.4 Discarding an edited preset/restoring a  
single factory preset  
If you have edited a preset and find that you don’t like the edited version,  
simply choose a different preset to discard your edits. You can restore a single  
factory preset by keeping TAP + STORE depressed for longer than 2 seconds.  
 
10 X V-AMP LX1-X User Manual  
BLACK TWIN: This simulation was modeled on a Fender Blackface Twin from  
1965. In the ’60s this amp was used by jazz, country and even rock guitarists.  
What was unique about it was that it was exceptionally loud and was therefore  
mainly used for live performances. The secret of the Blackface Twin was that  
although you could play it extremely loud, the distortion remained relatively low.  
6.1 Effect descriptions  
The following section contains short descriptions of the effects that you can use.  
6.1.1 Reverb and delay algorithms  
The delay effects can be modified in three parameters:  
ULTIMATE GAIN: From clean to brutal hi-gain, this “brute” covers the entire  
range. The ULTIMATE V-AMP is basically a souped-up rectifier amp.  
Turn ADJUST to modify “mix”  
TWEED COMBO: This was Jeff Beck’s favorite when he recorded the albums Blow  
by Blow and Wired. This amp was not actually designed for heavy distortion,  
but due to its low power, it is ideal for uncompromising overdrive sound.  
Turn ADJUST while TAP is pressed to modify “feedback”, and  
Tap the TAP key in the rhythm of your music to modify “delay time”.  
STEREO DELAY: Delays the input signal. Different tempo settings let you  
create a wide array of delay effects. Be experimental, try going from short to  
very long delays.  
TWEED BASS: This virtual amp is modelled on the Fender 4 x 10 Combo.  
Originally designed as a bass amp, it soon became a standard amp of blues  
legends such as Steve Ray Vaughan or Billy Gibbons due to its characteristic  
distortion. As you would expect, it packs a solid punch in the bass range,  
but is still flexible enough in the mid and treble ranges.  
LONG ECHO: What’s so special about this delay effect is that the repetition  
interval of the echos is 50% longer than the time interval measured between  
two taps on the TAP key. This way, you can create a frequently used echo effect  
very simply: if you tap and play in quarter-note, the echos are located three  
eighths away. What the whole thing can sound like is best demonstrated by U2’s  
guitarist The Edge.  
SCREAMER: Having been around since the beginning of the ’80s, the Ibanez  
Tube Screamer TS808 has pretty much achieved cult status. It has the reputation  
of being the ultimate classical overdrive/treble booster floor pedal, and is  
associated with mighty lead sounds, even though it offers rather modest  
distortion. Its secret is that it “knows” better than other floor pedals how to  
squeeze the very last bit out of the amp to which it is connected. If you hook  
up a decent tube amp to your X V-AMP (e. g. the BEHRINGER AC112), with this  
simulation you can authentically reproduce the effect of the tube screamer—all  
this without dishing out too much cash to own a cult piece of equipment.  
SLAP ECHO: As the name suggests, a delay with a very short repetition interval.  
The X V-AMP takes a half of the time interval measured between the taps on TAP.  
The echo velocity doubles.  
PING PONG: A delay effect that changes position in the stereo image.  
EL RATON: The Rat from ProCo was also a distortion pedal similar to the tube  
screamer, and it also came around about the same time, but its basic sound  
and applications couldn’t be more different. As the name suggest, the rat is  
all about aggressive distortion from the pedal itself, and the TS808 is more  
about unobtrusive overdrive in the amp further down the chain. With the rat  
simulation, you have the metal sound of the early ’80s totally covered.  
6.1.2 Modulation effects  
If modulation effects have been selected (key LED (7) blinks), you can modify up  
to four parameters on each effect:  
By turning ADJUST (effect intensity),  
by turning ADJUST while TAP is pressed (second parameter,  
please see respective effect description),  
AMP BYPASS: In this setting, no amp simulation is selected. This makes it  
possible, for example, to play through an external guitar preamp and only use  
the effects.  
by turning ADJUST while both TAP und MODUL. keys are pressed  
(third parameter), you can dial up a different effect model (1 - 4), and  
ACOUSTIC: A guitar with steel strings miked with a dynamic microphone is  
simulated here. While piezo pickups have the tendency to make the sound  
rather hard, using a mic makes the sound much more evened-out. Of course,  
the feedback typical for miking acoustic instruments is no longer an issue.  
by tapping at the TAP key in the rhythm of music (modulation/speed tempo).  
PHASER: The principle behind a phaser is that a second, phase-shifted signal  
is added to the audio signal. This makes the sound richer and, above all,  
livelier. This effect has been popular for decades because it can be used to  
produce slightly modulating or strongly alienating effects, regardless of what  
instrument you are using. Two of the classic versions of this effect that we  
simulate are the four-level MXR Phase 90 (1) and the 12-level Boss PH2 (4).  
Additionally, the X V-AMP offers two additional rare versions of an 8-level (2)  
and a 10-level (3) phaser.

sounds and effects created in the X V-AMP.  
6. Effects Processor  
The second parameter controls resonance, the third controls the  
phaser model (1 - 4).  
A special feature of your X V-AMP is its built-in multi-effects processor module  
offering 16 different groups of first-class effects such as chorus, flanger, delay,  
PITCH BEND: The Digitech Whammy pedal and the PS5 Super Shifter from Boss  
auto wah as well as various combinations of effects. You can select one effect out are extremely well-liked effects that produce an effect signal that is out of tune  
of each of the three effects blocks (modulation, delay and reverb).  
with the input signal. Models 1 - 4 offer the best pitch bend effects.  
The standard operating mode of the multi-effects processor is stereo,  
so you can use stereo effects for recording purposes via the LINE OUT or  
play in stereo using a second amplifier.  
Use ADJUST to determine “mix”.  
The PS-5 pitch shifter (1) creates a fixed interval consisting of several half-tone  
steps to the input tone. With the T-Arm simulation (2), this interval is active  
only as long as the pedal key (18) is pressed. The tempo at which the interval is  
reached can be modified using the TAP key.  
To match speed-based effects to the tempo of the music, please press  
the TAP button at least twice in the beat of your music.  
With the Whammy effect (3), detuning depends on the position of the pedal  
(pedal up = original tone pitch, pedal down = the interval entered under (2)).  
 
11 X V-AMP LX1-X User Manual  
In contrast to the pitch shifter, the detune effect (4) creates a modest out-of-  
tune interval, consisting of only a fraction of a half-tone. It sounds roughly like a  
permanently activated chorus.  
The second parameter determines how quickly the filter is shifted, while the third  
parameter determines the effects block (1 - 4).  
6.1.3 Special effects  
The second parameter controls how much your tone detunes:  
WAH WAH: The legendary Wah Wah effect owes its fame mainly to Jimi Hendrix.  
Describing it is certainly more difficult than simply listening to Hendrix using it  
on Voodoo Chile.  
for models 1 to 3 (-12/-7/-5/-3/+3/+4/+5/+7/+12 half-tones),  
for model 4 (-20 to +20% of a half-tone).  
The third parameter lets you select between different effects modules:  
pitch shift (1), T-Arm (2), Whammy (3) and detune (4).  
Wah Wah is not available when auto wah, P-Funk’n or pitch bend are  
being used.  
Since pitch bend effects 2 and 3 require the expression pedal,  
this automatically disengages other expression pedal functions,  
such as Wah Wah. In this case, the pedal assign effect LED lights up.  
COMPRESSOR: Our simulation is based on the well-known MXR Dyna Comp.  
A compressor limits the dynamic range of a signal, in that the signal level is  
reduced as soon as a pre-determined threshold is exceeded. A compressor  
lets you achieve noticeable and creative sound effects. How strongly the  
compressor kicks in is controlled using ADJUST, allowing you to achieve  
apparent sustain). When ADJUST is turned all the way to the left, the compressor  
function is deactivated.  
TREMOLO: Simulates the classic Fender DeLuxe tremolo as well as the Vox AC15  
and Gate tremolo. Ever since Trip Hop gained on importance, this volume  
modulation effect is totally in.  
The second parameter controls the dependence of modulation tempo on volume:  
loud input signal = quicker modulation, lower input signal = slower modulation.  
The second parameter (attack) controls the amount of time that the compressor  
needs to react, once the threshold has been exceeded. If you set up a short attack  
time, the compressor will react very fast.  
The third parameter lets you alternate between different tremolo types:  
Fender (1), Vox (2), Gate (3) and Panning (4).  
NOISE GATE: Noise gates are used to remove or reduce noise or other  
ROTARY: This is the quintessential simulation of the classic organ effect normally interference. Guitar signals in particular are very sensitive to interference.  
produced by speakers rotating at slow or fast speed in an extremely heavy  
speaker cabinet. This effect uses the physical principle of the Doppler effect to  
modulate the sound.  
Not only do guitarists often use high-gain settings but guitar pick-ups can  
amplify unwanted inter-ference. This can be painfully apparent during breaks  
in the music. And how does a noise gate work? It simply mutes the signal during  
breaks, eliminating any interference at the same time.  
The second and the third parameters control modulation sound.  
The ADJUST control determines, when the noise gate starts processing.  
This control lets you decide if you want to suppress background noise more or  
less pronouncedly. When ADJUST is turned all the way to the left, the noise gate  
function is deactivated.  
FLANGER: This effect is self-explanatory. Originally the flanger effect was  
produced by running two synchronized tape recorders at the same time.  
The same signals (e.g. a guitar solo) were recorded on both machines. Putting a  
finger on the left reel of one of the machines caused it and the speed of the  
playback to slow. The resulting delay produced phase shifts of the signals.  
Outstanding examples of this effect genre are for example the Ultra Flanger on  
The second parameter (release) determines the time that the noise gate remains  
open after it had fallen below the threshold. If you set up a short release  
the BF-3 from Boss (1), and the classic BF-2 (2) as well as the Flanger from MXR (3) time, this means that the noise gate will suppress the signal very soon after it  
and A/DA (4).  
detects noise.  
The second parameter controls the resonance (effect feed-back to the input),  
and the third parameter selects the flanger model (1 - 4).  
6.2 Reverb  
The reverb is still one of the most important effects in a mix or at a live event.  
BEHRINGER offers you four different reverb programs, so that you can always find  
the kind of reverb that fits your excact situation:  
CHORUS: This effect adds a slightly modulated off-key element to the original  
signal, thus creating a pleasant floating effect through variations in pitch. One of  
the most often used studio chorus effects was the Tri Stereo Chorus, with its  
12 (!) voices that are modulated against each other. The X V-AMP offers you this  
effect in two versions (1, 2). Two additional classics are the Boss Chorus Ensemble  
CE-1 (3) and the Roland Dimension D (4).  
Ambience: short room simulation without reverb tail.  
Cathedral: a long, rich reverb, like in a cathedral.  
Spring: typical sound of a classic spring reverb.  
The second parameter controls modulation depth, and the third parameter  
selects the chorus model (1 - 4). Modulation speed can be determined using  
the TAP key. High depth and speed values create a signal that is noticeably  
out of tune.  
Reverb: universal, warm reverb simulating a concert hall.  
ADJUST controls the reverb intensity, while the second parameter  
determines decay.  
AUTO WAH: The American funk in the ’70s proved that auto wah had many  
possible applications. Instead of regulating the filter frequency with your foot,  
our effect does this automatically, depending on the signal level. In doing so,  
our effect is similar to the EHX MuTron III in the up position.  
A/DA, Boss, DyTronics, Electro Harmonix (EHX), MXR, Digitech, Vox as well the names of musicians and  
bands are registered trademarks of their respective owners and are in no way associated with BEHRINGER.  
The brand names appearing here are mentioned solely to describe the character of sounds and effects created  
in the X V-AMP.  
The second parameter determines how quickly the filter is shifted; the third  
parameter selects the effects block (1 - 4).  
P-FUNK’N: This is our attempt at replicating the legendary MuTron III, and we  
succeeded! The most famous user of this effect is probably Bootsy Collins.  
The MuTron III had an up/down switch. Here, the effect resembles the MuTron in  
the down position.

7. Tuner  
8. Installation  
8.1 Audio connections  
The input of your BEHRINGER X V-AMP is a mono 1" TS connector. The line  
out/headphone output comes as 1" TRS stereo connector. The line output works  
with both balanced and unbalanced connections.  
The integrated tuner is activated/deactivated by simultaneously pressing  
both footswitches. In doing so, the X V-AMP is switched into bypass mode.  
Use ADJUST to modify bypass volume.  
7.1 Tuning your guitar  
The chromatic tuner automatically recognizes the frequencies of all the standard  
guitar notes. For the a string this means a frequency of 110 Hz. When you plug  
your guitar into the X V-AMP and play an open string, the tuner will recognize  
and display the note. Since the tuner uses an auto-chromatic scale, it can also  
recognize semi-tones, which are shown with a “b” in the display.  
It may happen, however, that a note is displayed as “A” but is actually slightly out  
of tune. This is shown by at least one of the four LEDs at the foot of the display  
lighting up. In certain cases even two of the LEDs may light up, which indicates  
that the pitch of the note played lies between the pitches represented by the two  
LEDs. When the circular tuner LED in the middle lights up, this means the note  
played is in tune.  
7. 2 Setting reference pitch “A”  
To give you maximum freedom for tuning your guitar, you can change the preset  
reference pitch “A”. For clarity’s sake, let’s look at this in more detail.  
Fig. 8.1: 1" TS connector  
The so-called concert pitch “A” has been raised steadily over time. For example,  
the tuning forks used by Bach, Händel or Mozart were 415, 420 or 421 Hz  
(oscillations per second). Today’s orchestras tune to “A” at 444 Hz, and the Berlin  
Philharmonic Orchestra lead the field with their own concert pitch “A” at 447 Hz.  
The reference “A” on your X V-AMP has been factory-programmed at 440 Hz.  
If you are going to play with a big orchestra tuning their instruments to a  
reference pitch of 444 Hz, you will need a function that allows you to change your  
reference pitch. To activate this function, switch on the tuner by pressing both  
footswitches simultaneously. Then, keep TAP pressed down to start calibrating  
the tuner. The display will show “40”, which means 440 Hz. Use ADJUST to raise  
or lower the reference pitch by up to 15 Hz. The display always shows the last  
two digits as the first digit is always 4. To quit, simply release TAP. Any changes  
will be stored automatically. The tones for the other strings on your guitar will  
automatically be adjusted to the new reference pitch.
