| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Louisville Ky | | | I have one but its the quality sound issue. I havent had any problems as far as the speaker or amp going out and it sounds ok, but when its put up against an ampeg, GK, Mesa, SWC..etc it just doesnt compare at all when it comes to sound. Its a great beater amp for practice and small bar gigs but anything else it just doesnt cut it even if I had a louder sounding one.
So I dont have hate for behringer but it wouldnt be most peoples first choices for putting together a decent sounding rig.
Most people look at a behringer for the same reason I looked and that was because it was cheap.

I'm using Behringer processing technology (compressors, EQs) just because it's cheap, but I don't expext anything really. It has to pay itself in 6 months and so far it has.
The major downside is that there's no practical way to repair almost any Behringer equipment as the schematics are not available so it's all waste and scrap when anything blows.
The other downside are the sometimes sub-standard or non-standard parts that don't last no more than the warranty period and again it's scrap.
Behringer as well as the other cheapos, are a hit and miss, one can score a winner, but a lemon is also a rather good possibility.
It's a good thing that those who play as a hobby can get somewhat decent looking gear cheaply, but anyone who's getting paid for playing is just kidding himself, IMO of course, as the 300€ amp blowing up can easily turn a paying gig to a charity event. (for the WHOLE band, no less)
Just my 0.02€

I won't go into the reasons just know that I will NEVER buy "their" products. That's as far as I will go as the can of worms it opens is something I do not wish on the OT mods. If you really want to know, do a search in the Amps and Effects forums and I'm sure you will find your answer. Just look for the threads that are locked. |

Post. | It is not that Behringer is bad... (for the price...) it is that you push them onto everyone in every situation. Behringer does not make the best gear. Stop telling me to purchase their stuff when I can afford better. |

2. They directly rip off other companies' designs -- down to the circuitboard -- and produce it as their own. They manufacture it overseas with low-labour costs and circumvent the entire R&D process. This is the reason they charge so little. The legal costs involved in taking them to court would bankrupt many of the smaller companies they steal from.
Ashdown, anyone?

If it works for you, great, I'm happy for you. But I'm sorry, in my experience, it has proven too unreliable.
