Behringer effect pedals

[shaolinwhat]

i had no idea they made so many different effect pedals. They pretty much make every basic effect, and good lord they are cheap! But are any of them worth even the low price? be honest! Swallow your pride and share with us if you can reccomend a behringer pedal.

I have a behringer BDI21 (copy of a Tech 21 Sansamp) and I love it.

In a few days I will have the behringer vintage-bass (copy of an EHX Bassballs), and I am really looking forward to it.

I had mixed experiences with Behringer. When they work, they can be pretty good, but I've bought a few that were broken right out of the box. Poor quality control, I guess. For the price, it's certainly worth trying a few, just be prepared for the possibility that you might have to return some of them.
At the moment, I have the BOD100 Bass Overdrive, which I love - UGLY sounding, very cool . I also have the DC9 Compressor on order to use with my guitar, have high hopes for it.

i've played the Behringer Distortion/sustainer, which i think is a copy of the Big Muff...sounded pretty good

I have the BDI21. Best 30 bucks I ever spent. It works for me for now. When I need to, I'll save up and get a real SansAmp (or, hopefully, have an SVT clone built by that point.)

is the casing plastic?

Yeah, the top part is. the bottom is a heavy piece of die cast. It's thick plastic, too. Not to shabby.

The DC9, Behr's copy of the MXR Dynacomp, is pretty good for the price. However I'd avoid the pedals that are entirely plastic.

I ordered it after reading your review.

[heytrid]

if you take them for what they are, they are great.

I got a fuzz with a couple different settings and it can sound pretty decent, would i rely on it on a gig..... maybe if i did not switch it on or off.

they are cheap, they are plastic, they are "clones" accept that and they are an awesome value.

I have two Behringer pedals, and I love the sound of both of them. I have the BDI21. and the CC-300, which is their copy of the Boss DC-2, which I absolutely refuse to pay what they are fetching on eBay. They both do exactly what I need them to do, and the price is irresistable. Never had one of them fail, but I have certainly heard enough stories that I know its a possibility. At that price though, they could be replaced in a second (and I would)

i had the VT999 at one point. it was useable. the all plastic pedals are not as good.

+1 for DC9

i have the hellbabe wah. thick plastic top, metal plate bottom. decent sound.

working on modding it for true bypass (just need the dpdt switch), cut the hole for it with a knife and it took longer than when i cut a radioshack plastic project box for switches once. dunno if that's saying something or not.

sound-wise it's ok, has many tone-shaping options, a kind of "half-jack" or all trades if you will. (at least compared to m guitar buddy's crybaby)

[slurpy]

i've got the tremolo unit. its pretty good at what it does. i also had the ultra distortion (ud100) for a while. it took a fair bit of bashing for a plastic pedal before finally dying.

[Thunderscreech]

Their small-format mixers are pretty decent, too. Just saying.
