Behringer's V‑Amp is a modelling guitar preamp, complete with speaker simulator, effects and an optional Emagic Sound Diver patch editor. If this sounds in any way familiar, it's because Behringer are clearly after a share of the market niche carved out by the ground‑breaking Line 6 Pod. But although the V‑Amp tips a cheeky nod in the direction of that product, and offers very similar facilities, you'd never mistake one for the other. For a start, the V‑Amp is bright blue rather than red, and instead of the Pod's distinct kidney shape its outline is a caricature of an electric guitar. The construction looks similar, but closer inspection reveals that the V‑Amp is made from tough ABS plastic, rather than from cast metal, and that the knobs are not regular pots but continuous encoders surrounded by rings of LEDs. - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/behringer-v-amp
