hm. what's missing is the large number of spare stomp boxer from behringer, because the plastic of the boss-alike ones seems so unsteady to me, that i'd fear breaking one when stomping it :)
(i have a behringer bass overdrive here right now, for testing it with my bass synthesizers).

I'm not so entusiast of beringher stuff..you should buy two of everything from them because they're made of butter..so there's not such great deal.. (228 pounds)

My friend has a Brgr Delay and it sucks compared to my old DD3.

It does make some amazing Aphex Twin style 'buffer overdrive' noises when tweaked.  He is thinking of wiring an expression pedal jack onto it, just to use it for this!

Thats what behringer is great for.  experimentation.  My first two hardware projects were circuit bends on behringer gear.
I prefer their older stuff.

magnificent studios wrote: I've thought about getting some Behringer boxes for the studio, where they could be babied.  One of my favorite effects unit the Alesis Ampliton. It's a stereo tremolo/pan that lets you modulate the two effects independently (can also be synchronized)...great for swirly sounds. It's super cheap and would probably fall apart if I used it as a stomp box, but it works great as a desk unit in the studio. I think I paid $20 when MF was selling off the remaining stock. I also have a phaser from that line which is pretty bad...only usable for space cheese on washed out backing leads.
All my stomp boxes are for studio use.. no live gigging for me

Yep.  I used a Behringer Compressor for a while on my pedal board, but I never got used to it.  I really don't like compressors that much anyway.

It never broke, but it definitely is a cheap piece of shit! :-X

I own 3 Behringer pedals :
the tuner (TU100) cheap and works well.
the equalizer (EQ100) cheap and works well.
and the distortion modeler (DM100) the DS1 emulation is crap, the D+ is quite good but not in light OD setting, and the Rat is good IMO.

it's true that the tuner sucks a lot of tone?..lot of people says that, I just wonder because it's CHEAP and I need a tuner!

no I've tested it with an A/B box and there's no signal loss

I use it and the end of my chain, and the two outputs allow me to split the signal and run my 2 amps at the same time.

Hmmm, so far I'm rathe pleased with the Behringer stuff.
Recenty aquired a used Vintage Distortion and a Vintage Phaser.
Have bought a TO 100 (tube overdrive) before.

The TO 100 is very quiet and sounds nice. The Vintage Distortion (VD-1) and Phaser (VP-1) are not so quiet, but seam to do what they are desinged for.
Anyway, I just did some sound experimenting with them coupled to some other pedals  and I had a pleasing expierience.

JM_TO100_VD-1_VP-1_Dan-echo_Tremolux Amp. (and added a Fender Reverb + Danelectro Tuna melt (tremolo)to it as well)

Nice and weird sounds.

But, yes they are cheap, but when used with some better gear and a nice amp, they're ok. And I would not have bought them at retail price.
Got all of them at half or less then retail price, so they were a good deal.
