BEHRINGER FX2000 Virtualizer 3D Multi-Effect Processor - FULL Tutorial & Demo

[@TorturedBanana]

well having spent far to long reading the manual you may friend need a medal ive watched the first 11 mins of ur video and i fully understood the machine ,why couldnt the manual help me like you , and why the 7 dislikes ,, they either slipped on the wrong button or just woke up from 10 years of sleep . thanks again mate

[@cartertakesatrain7108]

Another Corker of a Tutorial! I really love how you create the illusion that we are exploring this together.

[@davidevans1420]

On a scale of 1-10, this video is a 20. This should be on Behringer's home page. You just saved users about 2 years getting up to speed. Thanks so much for a totally informative hands-on tutorial. Sounds amazing for any who can't afford a Lexicon. This thing smokes many reverbs that I own including my Zoom, Yamaha, TC Electronic, and Alesis reverbs. These reverbs are the cheaper varieties than their flagship verbs. It sounds dangerously close to my Mid-priced Lexicon or EV/Dynacord. The EV/ Dynacord is like experiencing reverb instead of hearing it. I think it might even give the PCM70 a run for it's money. Perhaps the the PCM80 or PCM90 might win out, we are talking multiple thousands to get the real Lexicon sound. It's been my experience that the cheaper Lexicon units have always left me disappointed. This thing is a no-brainer...

[@JonDeth]

The unit is horribly underrated and likely because so many bought it for use with the guitar. Most, though not all, of it's effects sound crummy and cheap with a strong amp and pedal distortion, but a mild overdrive or clean guitar, other instruments and vocals, it's still competitive with equipment in 2024.

[@garymorrison4139]

BRILLIANT! This video by far is the most intelligent comprehensive and useful video tutorial on the Virtualizer Pro. This unit like the V-AMP Pro is an astounding processor that is left toe end user to to figure out and this has done the Behringer brand more harm than any competitor could do. Why Behringer invests so much in engineering and design and then fails to offer a tutorial program to its users is a puzzling and continuous blunder considering the quality of many of their products. Great video ...THANKS!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you, it’s very much appreciated 😊

[@WBCStudio.]

THANK YOU tremendously for making this video tutorial, for I've been struggling on how to use it ever since I bought it few years ago. You are indeed a big help.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

You are so welcome!

[@ocljtc]

The keyboard sounds amazing through that.

[@InFiHax]

Great video. I do wish you had explored the multi effect combinations (61 - 71 according to the manual) especially the Delay & Reverb. I can't be the only one watching this who is searching for something to send FX to a mixer for vocalists.

[@JonDeth]

I installed one on my guitar amplifier head 20 years ago and will never replace it. I value it so much I have a 2nd. *With excessive guitar distortion, the unit sounds pretty bad with a lot of effects, but just some overdrive or clean, it's phenomenal and still has effects that work great with a highly distorted guitar.* I switched my guitar amp to it's clean channel with an overdrive pedal tonight and started scrolling through effects and had phenomenal results. *It's such a simple unit and though I have high end Zoom valve processors, a Valeton GP200 and a few other new ones, this has plenty of sounds they can't get even with their modern and elaborate capabilities.* What's crazy though is rack mount processors are being discontinued by just about every known brand.

[@moosey62]

Thanks for making this mate. Very informative and well presented!

[@jaynic8237]

As you say, " Top Job " my boy. Excellent video, excellent tutorial, I just keep on watching it over & over & over & over again, can't stop. Every time I learn something else, I'M ADDICTED. ;-) Nice One. Thanks a million, best regards, James.

[@urbannpa]

Thank you...This video help a lot. I have the DSP2024P but basically on the same lines. I've had this thing for years and it just sat in the rack never used. Been stranded in the house, decided to give it a go!.

Interesting unit. And it is super cheap. I like it. It have midi on the back so I wonder if I could control it with some guitar midi pedals and use it as FX processor. The ammount of FX included is amazing.

Thank you!!! This is the best explanatory video on customizing the Behringer Virtualizer's functions that I've found. The time flew by! One thing... Do you know if you can you set up a Custom Combo Effect of your own? The pre-set Combo Effects are good, but I'd love to do some custom combos.

[@krtvstudios]

Can you use the effects on vocals

[@jamesgarfield9592]

He kinda went through Parallel, Serial 1 and Serial 2 kinda quickly. If anybody happens across this and wonders about this. It’s related to a handful of the 71 effects that are “dual effects”. My favorite of these, for example, is a Delay and a Reverb in the same preset. With parallel, the delay and reverb each constraint to the output, in the serial modes the output of the delay goes into the reverb which then goes to the output. Serial 1 vs 2 are different depending on the reverb sees only the output of the delay, or a combination of the delay out and the input. There’s some additional subtlety depending on mono vs stereo that’s too hard to explain, but that’s the gist of it.

[@ChaosEngine4000000]

Is it possible to run two amp effect loops into this and get two seperate effects chains??? I run two amps simultaniously into two seperate 4x12 cabs.

[@layneinchains848]

Hey, thabks for the brilliant overview! Can i ask, whats the rack youre sitting it on? Im only going to have 1 rackmount item so i dont need a big one.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

I can’t remember now, but I think it was from Gear4Music, here in the U.K. I’m sure where you are but they ship everywhere I think, hope this helps. Also, I think was about £20, and has room for three racks.

[@McSynth]

Excellent walk through.

[@musictherapyllc.7482]

I just hooked this product up from years ago.I want to use it for dj effects how?

[@souperbeans6004]

I cannot seem to get a signal from the mono1&2 aux output(1/4 TRS) to the virtualizer. Microphone XLR input To track X There is a fader knob to control the output level to the mono which is on track 23 sending effect bus to track Y

[@davidapgar3036]

Can the COMPRESSOR itself be activated ...while at the same time, still able to select a "Special FX "setting such as a combo delay/reverb, or is it one or the other? It would be nice to be able to have the built in compressor for vocals and still use the effects such as reverb. Is this possible?

[@musicislife704]

I can hear the effects but when i try to export the effects on my audio i dont hear the effects. It Sound like my daw not exporting the effects from my hardware how do i fix this?

[@zhenmaster888]

I have the exact same unit that's I'm using for FX Return on my Behringer Mixer. However, only the LEFT meter bar is moving up and down. The right one is just doing nothing. Do you know why that is? Thanks.

[@travishanson166]

Because you are only using the left input and output. He is using a stereo fx send/return in the demo.

[@Gainn]

Cheap as chips, sounds good and easy enough to use. What's not to like?

[@Gainn]

Just grabbed a second one for £50, so bargains are still to be had. I still find myself going for my trusty old Digitech Studio Quad if I want complex effects, but these are great for inserts.

[@stinkypete9070]

Definitely, I'm probably going to grab a second one too since they're so damn cheap. Both of my synths will have one each instead of having to swap inputs via patch bay

Hey great guide. Understood really well. But what I didn't find is that I am trying to stream music through this (Input Apple music from my phone and output from my speaker). And whatever setting or effect I change heavily affects the instruments played in the song whereas the vocals seem pretty damp distant and distorted. And I am unable to find any setting to improve the vocals. Any suggestions?

Hey , thanks ...very helpful, makes the unit usable again. I found the user manual confusing/cumbersome and gave up. ...

[@kumareshhalder4214]

Can we send any effect to an interface?

[@unknownentity330]

Yeah but depends on the interface and number of outs. You need 2 extra inputs additionally to the channels occupied by the instruments you want to record. You'd also have to be able to use the interface's accompanying software to assign channel routes. Plug in whatever instruments you want to send. For example, microphone input CHAN 1, stereo keyboard input CHAN 2/3. In the interface's software, route input CHAN 1 + input CHAN 2/3 through output CHAN 3/4 or whatever output channels are free (must have at least two). These are your AUX send channels which go into the Behringer Virtualiser input 1 + 2. Now here's where the 2 extra inputs on your interface come in. Plug the output 1+2 from Behringer Virtualizer into the 2 extra inputs, these are your AUX return channels. That's it. If possible in the software, save this preset so you don't have to manually do the routing again. Now a couple of things...Make sure you are not using the output channels which go to your speakers into the Behringer Virtualizer. Now think carefully about this one. Make sure that the 2 extra channels you used for AUX return to your interface from the Behringer Virtualiser are NOT routed in the software to go through output CHAN 3/4 as this would cause a loop! I also recommend never changing this configuration without first resetting to the default preset in your interface's software. Good luck

Do I need to get a seperate thing to provide the phantom power? Any tips?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

You would definitely be better off getting a phantom power supply for the mic 👍😊

[@JohnGarnerIII]

Attach headphone to interface. Mute monitors. attach microphone to interface > enable phantom power> adjust Mic preamp levels> continue set up and route from interface/ vocal preamp out to input of effect processor > then mute the channel you will route from processor back into recording interface. If you've recorded a raw track prior to set up than press play and slowly increase volume if whichever channel the return signal is assigned until you hear the raw track and processed. Until there is no longer a microphone in the signal chain, dont turn on your monitors or else youll get feedback.
