Modes

Switch between modes with UP/DOWN pedals.

1) EF: Effects

Notes:

  • Turn Effects on/off!
  • Requires 2 MIDI cables connected (FCB MIDI out-to-Bass V-Amp MIDI in & FCB MIDI in-to-Bass V-Amp MIDI out).
  • Effects state for pedals 1-8 is automatically updated on the pedal LEDs.

2) Pr: Presets

  • Enter Presets 1A-25E!
  • Enter preset A-E using pedals 1-5.

3) FP: Favorite Presets

Notes:

  • Store 10 of your favorite Presets for 1 press recall!
  • To store a Preset:
    • In Pr mode, select preset.
    • Press UP to enter FP mode.
    • Press and hold the pedal you wish to store the Preset for about five seconds. The 7-segment display will flash when stored.
    • Leave FP mode.
  • To recall a Preset, press and release the pedal of your choice. Note that the Program Change command is sent on the release, not the press.

4) SP: Specials - Looper

Notes:

  • Use the looper in the Bass V-Amp!
  • FX is switched to Loop/Delay upon entering SP mode.
  • Some of looping functions don't operate properly on very old Bass V-Amp Pros with Bass V-Amp PROM version 1.0 - you can 'pop-the-lid' off of your Bass V-Amp Pro to check. All other modes work properly even with the old PROM.

MIDI Activity LED

  • In 1-cable mode, the LED is on when MIDI is sent, off otherwise.
  • In 2-cable mode, the LED is off when MIDI is sent/received, on otherwise.

Vb FAQ

What do I need for this setup?

A Behringer Bass V-Amp Series processor with firmware 1.09, a Behringer FCB1010, and one or two MIDI cables depending on your preferred mode of operation. Note that we sell the version 1.09 Behringer Bass V-Amp PRO PROM for $20. You can purchase it by clicking on this link: Buy Bass V-Amp Pro PROM v1.09.

What do you mean "one or two MIDI cables depending on your preferred mode of operation"?

You may operate this in 1-cable mode, but EF mode is not functional. In two-cable mode EF mode is functional with effect state reflected on pedal LEDs.

Even though I have both MIDI cables connected, when I turn on my Bass V-Amp series processor & EurekaPROM-enabled FCB1010 two-cable mode isn't detected.

The EurekaPROM-enabled FCB1010 boots faster than the Bass V-Amp processor, so if you turn them on simultaneously the EurekaPROM won't detect the return MIDI cable. The solution is to turn on the Bass V-Amp processor first and let it finish booting before you turn on the EurekaPROM-enabled FCB1010.

When I enter SP mode the FX changes settings. Why?

Delay/Loop is one of 15 FX settings in the Bass V-Amp. VamPROM Bass automatically sets the FX mode to 'Loop' as soon as you enter SP mode.
