5.3 Denoiser and compressor

DENOISER: A Denoiser is used to remove or minimize noise or
other interference sounds. Such noise becomes particularly
apparent during pauses. The time-proven BEHRINGER denoiser
removes or reduces such noise very effectively.
A dynamic low-pass filter eliminates the noise present in the
signal, while the integrated expander supresses noise during
pauses. Concerning this dynamic filter you can adjust frequency
range and sensitivity, while the expander adjusts both the
threshold and the time parameter.
The BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO's denoiser can
be used independently from the integrated multi-
effects processor. See chapter 2.1 (
information about using the denoiser.
COMPRESSOR: A compressor is used to elevate low-level
signals, whereas loud parts are lowered if needed.
Letting the compressor kick in strongly (done by turning the
EFFECTS control clockwise) tightens the entire dynamic of the
signal. This dynamic effect is the one that is most used in a
connection with an electric bass. On the other hand, a limiter
cuts off the signal above a set threshold to prevent distortion.
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO's compressor can
always be activated independently from the
integrated multi-effects processor.

6. EFFECTS PROCESSOR

The integrated multi-effects processor is a distinctive feature
of your BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO. This effects module
offers you 16 different groups of first-class effects, such as
chorus, flanger, stereo delay, rotary cab., synth as well as
various combination effects. Additionally, you can use an extra
wah wah effect via the MIDI function. This can be optimized by
using a MIDI foot controller with an expression pedal, for
example the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010.
BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO
The multi-effects processor functions basically in
stereo. This way, you can use stereo effects for
recording purposes via the LINE OUT on the BASS
V-AMP or via the ANALOG LINE OUTPUT on the BASS
V-AMP PRO. You can also use a second amp to play
in stereo (also see table 3.1).
The effects can be edited in three parameters:
1. By rotating the EFFECTS control.
2. By rotating the EFFECTS control while the TAP key is
pressed.
3. By pressing the TAP key in the beat of a music piece. Table
6.1 shows the effects parameters of your BASS V-AMP/
BASS V-AMP PRO.
To adapt beat-based effects to your musical
program, press the TAP key twice in the beat of the
music.

0 MIDI WAH
1 P-FUNK'N
2 AUTO WAH
MIDI WAH: The legendary wah wah was primarlily made
famous by Jimi Hedrix. Explaining it would be surely more difficult
than simply telling you to go listen Hendrix' Voodoo Chile. When
the DRIVE function is activated, turning the EFFECTS control
sets the wah wah. The LED circle around the control displays
the position of the pedal. When no LED is on, the MIDI wah wah
is not active.
P-FUNK'N: This is our attempt at replicating the legendary
MuTron III, and we succeeded! The MuTron III was a mixture out
of Auto wah wah and filter effect. 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.
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,
E) for
depending on the signal level. In doing so, our effect is similar to
the MuTron III in the up position.
Wah wah is not available when auto wah or P-Funk'n
are being used.
Our overdrive simulations offer you a selection of classic
stomp box effects. Just like with the originals, you can set up
drive, tone and boost (see
you set up an independent crossover (pre distortion pedal). This
crossover lets the high frequencies pass through without
distortion. (left position = off (bypass)/left to right:
41 - 600 Hz). The illustration displays the frequency range.
