Behringer MDX2200 Good or Bad?

[Gravedigger]

I've looked through the forums to try and find an answer to my question, but could not find anything pertaining to the Behringer MDX2200. If there is already a thread about this unit, then please, accept my apologies. Anyways, I have been thinking about adding a compressor to my rack rig and am on a very limited budget. I have run across a MDX2200 for a sweet deal, but I do not know if it would be worth it. I already have a Behringer BTR 2000 tuner, and I am not very inpressed with its tracking ability, especially on the B-string.

My question is this, Would you recommend the Behringer MDX2200 Composer Pro for a live rig? Any input would greatly be appreciated.

If you are looking for a compressor, the Alesis 3630 Dual Channel Compressor is a decent unit and costs the same as that Behringer. It also has a noise gate. A friend of mine in Tempe has been using one in his PA rack for many many years and has run bass guitars, guitars, pre-recorded music, microphone, and all manner of other audio sources through it.

Just someone Behringer bashing, tis all.

I used a Behringer Autocom for a few years and served me well. Quite transparent, quiet and no noticeable roll off. Only reason I don't use it anymore is I don't want to lug a rack around any more. If I do ever go rack again I'm sure I'll use it again.

(In fact I'm considering racking it with my LMII head.)

Thanks, I'm thinking of giving it a try.
