mledbetter Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'd have to jump in and defend behringer to some extent.. I've had nothing but great experiences with their pro audio stuff. I record with behringer equipment and use their stuff live too. Sure there is better stuff out there but for the money they always seem to hit the cost/quality ratio right on the head. Their powered nearfield monitors are great and about half the price of a comparable mackie set or something similar. Their V-Amp from what I understand is no match for the POD, but again, it's 199 bucks instead of 400. To me, distortions are a very picky subject. Delays, choruses, trems, etc.. i have faith Behringer can rip off successfully. We'll see what they do with the distortions. Lets face it, pedal design/construction isn't rocket science.. most of what you are paying for is a name, or boutique inflation.. I'm anxious to hear some of these babies.

Thoughtless 7 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sorry to bump this topic but i'm wondering if anyone has bought any of these and what do they think of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Just the other day I got a Behringer tremolo pedal. Tomorrow night at rehearsal I'll hook it up on the pedalboard and see how I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm thinking of getting a few this weekend - probably a dirtbox, a delay and a chorus. I'm tempted to get a phaser too, depends which ring my bell in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeiscosRock Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'll pick up a chorus and/or Phaser if the local store gets them in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I can't remember if I posted to this thread, but I DID end up with the GDI21 SansAmp ripoff thingy. It actually sounds REALLY good! But, not so good that I resisted getting a Line 6 TonePort UX2, which is what I've been tinkering around with the most. The GDI21's "tweed" sound isn't quite right. The Marshall sound is great, though. Add a cabinet simulator or realistic reverb impulse in your sequencer, and you're golden. It's still in heavy use right now, though, even without using it for the amp models. It's a DI box, which has served me well as I can now use it to go into the TonePort's mic input as well, from a splitter box. 2 inputs for one guitar = double-amp setup, like many guitarists who have their favourite clean and their favourite dirty amp set up.

Pr3Va1L Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 LOL! At these prices, im thinking of selling my BOSS multi-fx and getting some pedals (as I now have a nice tube amp for the distortion stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Tried out the Tremolo pedal. It's not quite as smooth as I'd like, but in a band setting that might just help it push through the mix without being too loud. We'll see, but for now a $20 pedal is just what the doctor ordered.

rokeros Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Does anyone get sick or feel cheap to have a pedalboard of the same looking pedals. Has anyone considered getting these, gutting them and put them in a personal enclosure??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Man, these pedals are really cheap! Whole line is between 22 and 45 Euros incl. VAT!!! I don't know... After reading this topic, I've got a whole new perpective on Behringer (and BOSS, too!). Now, you've got me thinkin'... V-Amp Pro is around 200 Euros, but if they didn't *make* it in the first place (just "borrowed" its tech), that's more than a fair price for a average-wallet-thicked guitar player. But, it is wrong to steal anything, even if there is a hole in the law that one might use. On the other side, policy of (literally) ripping off people with outrageous prices through decades (look at the current PC world market: every computer bought new should be priced at 50-100$ instead of 1000$, but let's not go in there... ) and dictating market is also VERY, VERY wrong (at least from an average consumer's point of view). UUMMMPFFFHGHHHH!!! 1....2....3.... Sorry for the aggro... As far as pedals go, I think I'll stick with tried and true stuff, like Dunlop wahs + BOSS and Ibanez pedals modded by aNaLoG.MaN and Robert Keeley. These modded pedals are a bit steep, but if you tried one of these... I'm sold. Then again, I would like to get my hands on Behringer's Virtualizer. Its price is 126 Euros incl. VAT. I mean, with a great amp and one or two modded pedals, digital-under-150-Euros-processor is a simply an embelishment, moderately applied, right? Well, in my book, at least. mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
