28 U-CONTROL UCA222 User Manual
Recording with a preamp such as the
V-AMP 3:
Preamps such as the V-AMP 3 provide a great way to record a
wide selection of high-quality guitar sounds without the hassle
of placing a mic in front of a conventional amp. They also allow
you to record late at night without tempting your roommates
or neighbors to strangle you with your own guitar cable.
• •
Plug a guitar into the instrument input of the V-AMP 3
using a standard ¼" instrument cable.
• •
Connect the stereo ¼" outputs on the V-AMP 3 to the
stereo RCA inputs on the UCA222. This will likely require
adaptors. You may also use the stereo RCA to ¼" TRS cable
that is included in the V-AMP 3/UCA222 package bundle
to connect from the V-AMP 3 headphone output to the
UCA222 RCA inputs.
• •
Plug the USB cable into a free USB port on your computer.
The POWER LED will light up.
