  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the BLUE DEVIL and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

    1.1.1 VIRTUBE technology 1.2 Before you begin If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

  • Page 8: Control Elements

    1.3 Control elements Fig. 1.1: The front panel of the BLUE DEVIL 1.3.1 The front panel Fig. 1.2: The front panel control elements INPUT VOLUME CHANNEL HEAT VOLUME Use both VOLUME controls to optimize the volume ratio of the two channels, so that no volume differences can be heard when switching from one channel to the other.
  • Page 9 When the MIDI functions are inactive, one effect can be stored for each of the two channels on your BLUE DEVIL, which allows you, for instance, to select a DELAY effect for the HELL channel and assign a REVERB/CHORUS effect to the HEAVEN channel. The corresponding program numbers will be stored with the channels and can be recalled using the footswitch or the front panel buttons.
  • Page 10 Since speakers can have quite an impact on the sound of a guitar amp, both the headphones and LINE OUT signals are frequency-corrected (speaker emulation). Without this frequency correction extreme treble frequencies would deteriorate the sound. You can still tap the unprocessed signal directly after the pre-amp (INSERT SEND jack), without interrupting the signal path inside the amplifier (INSERT RETURN jack may not be used in this case).

  • Page 11: Wiring Examples

    Please note that when using the serial effects path, the external effect should not be set to 100% wet (100% effect signal); otherwise, there will be no direct signal portion fed back to the BLUE DEVIL.
