Behringer pedals

[Twisteramps]

I have an FCB 1010 that works great, but overall behringer quality is pretty spotty.

Yeah, I've seen alot of people rave about the FCB 1010. Have no experience with it, personally, but I know there's a loyal following.

Yeah, "spotty" is a good word to describe their gear. I've had a v-amp2 for a few years. Been completely happy with it except for one of the buttons intermittently doesnt work. Doesnt bother me too much though. Then I bought a gmx212 amp which was fine for a few months and sounded decent. Then the preamp started making an annoying staticy sound. Some of their stuff is fine, some is junk.

"That's the typical problem with Behringer gear, it fails in a year or 2."

BS. I have been using a Behringer board for a live PA now for 4 years. Not one problem and sounds WAY better than the Yamaha it replaced...cheaper too!

So you're one of the lucky ones, but it is still typical that Behringer gear is not as well-made and has a higher failure rate than other brands. If you've had a better experience, then again... LUCKY you.

I bought one of the new cheap-o distortion pedals and took it back the nexxt day. Buzz, sizzle, buzz - completely useless. The way they open up is stupid too, those plastic parts will be toast in no time.

I have a little Behringer UB802 mixer that I just love, so I'm not a Behringer-basher by any means.

So what Behringer gear do you have personal experience with? Did the Behringer gear you have used fail?

I have 3 of those plastic pedals. I would not trust one for heavy use in a rig but the occassional step and I think it would hold. I got an octave,eq and AB box.I also am getting one of the tuner pedals. These are generally going to be rarley used for fun or else they will not be going through the amp(tuner). I think €20 for an eq and tuner pedal is worth it. However if its a distortion pedal I'd go else where. I can't see my SD1 failing anytime in the future and the same goes for my Guvnor.
