How about we all report this to (and maybe

let the ISP's sort them out.

How about we forget about it and just ignore messages praising
questionable gear? An ISP won't do anything about it. You're just
getting yourself worked up over something futile.

Like just about anything else in audio, at some point you have to
listen to it. Better to do that before you buy, but there's no reason
to stop someone from trying an amplifier based on the appearance of
spam in a newsgroup. Let the buyer beware.

Well the thing that kind of sucks about this guy's thread ****ing
everybody off is that the V-Amp Pro is actually pretty good for what
it is.

I'm not gonna suggest that it's good to replace real amps with but I
bought one to have around and the guys that have used it have
commented on it very favorably.

There are times when you want to write more than record, and something
like the V-amp lets you dial in something workable rather than getting
all involved in which mic, which pre, how you gonna mic it, etc.

Some people are really into the "I must capture every moment perfectly
because you never know when magic might hit and I want to make sure I
record it perfectly", but I'm not that anal retentive....the idea is
the key for me, don't let the knob twiddling get in the way of
creativity.

Still I get the impression these trollish posts are either just to get
Ty and ompany in a lather, or someone actually trying to ****
Behringer, I don't think it's "authorized PR" in any case.

I bet if you actually got everybody here to fess up, there'd be a lot
more "B" gear than people will readily admit. It's not usually part of
my "gold signal chain" but some of the stuff is pretty useful...not
even counting the cheapness factor.

Buying Behr gear is a bit like Taco Bell though, you feel like you've
eaten something but you wouldn't want to subsist on it g
