Thoughts on Behringer pedals...

[hippietim]

Pfft, a bad monkey pedal is a great deal - a useful pedal that's built sturdy as hell. You could take a Digitech pedal and smash a behinger with it - one blow, the behringer is dust. wipe off the behringer's plastic residue off the Digitech and then use it at a gig.

Not considering price they are absolute pieces of shit. If I factor price in then I have to admit that they are in fact absolute pieces of shit.

I had 4 of them. They were junk. Everything about them is cheap - they are cheap, look cheap, feel cheap, and sound cheap.

So you're saying, you're not to crazy about them? :ROTF:

I checked out a few of the Behringers when they came out... and I won´t be buying any of them anytime soon, I can tell you that much. I could understand some kid who wants to have an effect or two and can´t afford anything better (I mean, we´ve all had 15w Samick/Squire/no-name practice amps at one time) but they´re not a cost-effective alternative to the more acclaimed brands. IMHO, of course.

Its kinda funny how I love their V-AMP2, yet I think their pedals are on the crappy side of things.

They shamelessly rip off other companies who put out quality stuff. Think Line-6, Peavey, Boss, Mackie, EH, etc. That's like taking someone's music and writing your own lyrics and saying you wrote it.

I have some of their products around here. It all gets used on pretty much a daily basis. It's used to practice, jam, noodle, rehearse, and gig. It also gets rented out from time to time. No problems with any of it - sound or performance related. It really depends on which of their products you are speaking of......

Thread topic being their stomp boxes, some sound horrible. Some sound passable. A few sound good. A couple sound very convincing. BUT they're built w/all the toughness of a wet milk carton. Careful where you walk.

Was it right after the 30-DAY warranty expired?

I've had a the compressor/sustainer. It was pretty good. Did what its supposed to do. But turn any knob past 12 o'clock, the hissing demon cometh.
I have their 5 channel mixer. Its awesome! zero noise. paid $30 on eBay as opposed to the cheapest they have in GC, $85. lol
If you are kinda experimenting with your rig, trying out different effects, buy 'em. Once you are satisfied, throw 'em out and get BOSS pedals. But yeah, its rickety, plastic. Stomp on them many times, its gonna break.

+1 on the bad-monkey Digitech. Best bang-for-the-buck-n-more pedal.

Sure was! Here's the real rubbish though... I never even stomped on it! I used it a total of about 5 times at a few jam sessions and would just leave it on top of my rig and plug my guitar in, press the plastic pedal with my hand and tune when necessary. I wasn't even running it in my signal path as I only plug in a wah then straight to the amp. I guess where it was sitting on top of my amp it couldn't handle my Mesa chugging the dog piss out of it!

I just bought the vintage phaser. It was cheap, so I said what the hell. I don't know how well it's going to hold up over time, but it sounds damn good.

Digital multi-fx fx600

I bought an Ultra Metal and it works out nice, for $30 bucks it's sweet... Since I have experience with Behriger now I want to get a Chorus Pedal and though hey they probably make a cheapo knockoff, yup!

Anyway looking through reviews I found this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDLpDEkccI multi effects pedal with chorus and bunch of other shit...

Anyone own one? DIGITAL MULTI-FX FX600

For the price these are great for home use.

holy shit, necrobump!

I have the GMX 1200 H half stack amp and its been used everyday for 6 years now and just recently the input jack threads stripped and I just glued it to the mounting plate.
Ordered a replacement input jack last June just to have one when I needed it.Still on back order UGH! Full Compass Supply sucks ass so don't order parts from them.
The amp is great and the settings are very good Fender to Marshall and Mesa its all in there.
Can be used thru the PC or mixing board a very nice low cost amp.
The pedals? Never liked them at all.

absolute pieces of shit. If you are a bedroom player they are fine. Take them to 1 gig and you will come home with broken pedals. Trust me.. from experience, Behringer pedals are not gig worthy. They sound great but they can't hold up to gigging.
I just had 2 pedals that totally crapped out on me live. Sucked.. good thing I had Boss backups.
