But here's what I really want to know.
How many of you are using Behringer effect pedals, and which ones?? They're very cheap pedals, most of the time clones of other, popular pedals.
I'm personally using the BDI21, and love it. I'm wondering if any of Behringer's other pedal offerings are worth the $30 admission price.
Anyone? |

The graphic EQ isn't bad either.
Other than that, can't really say.

I've used the Slow Motion, Ultra Vibrato (awesome Boss VB-2 clone) and the Bass Synth (still own this one and it's going nowhere...2+ years and not one issue) |

I have a home studio so anything that isn't a keeper for my pedalboard will surely get used at some point.
I'm not a fan of what noise gates do to your tone, but I think I'll give it a shot.
Anyone else who has dropped a few bucks on a Behringer pedal, whatever it is, feel free to post a short review here. Maybe we can get them all in one place. |

On another note, I said do do.

Funny that you own and you talk it up, but its missing from your profile.

They're plastic, not that durable, so don't stomp hard.
Otherwise, considering the price, decent value for your money. |

The plastic housing is my reason for building a special board to keep them safe. I don't use a ton of effects, just ones that are normally always on. I'm considering rehousing my BDI21 into a rack mount case.
The price is awesome on these. Another great reason to check them out. Heck, if enough of us buy them, maybe Behringer will upgrade them into metal cases!! (lol, as if!!) |

BSY-600 - I have A/B'd this directly against both a Boss SYB-3 and 5. I found the Behringer beats the Boss's in both tone and function. The Boss is much more crisp and sizzly sounding, and the Behringer is warmer. Also, the Behringer will disengage the filter sweep in modes 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 altogether if you turn the decay knob all the way up, which the Boss does not do.
CC-300 - I have directly A/B'd this against an original Boss DC-2, and found them to be completely identical in tone. The Behringer also has more modes than the original Boss, as you can have multiple buttons pushed down at once, which you could not do with the Boss. Since the DC-2 currently goes for about 6 times the cost of the Behringer, I sold the Boss.
BDI-21 - I have directly A/B'd this against a Sansamp BDDI, and found I preferred the sound of the Behringer ever-so slightly although the sound is almost identical. The differences are so minute that you would never hear them in a situation when you were playing with other musicians, even on a recording. | |

Arrgh! | I'm trying to decide which one to get this week!! At this price, a collection is gonna happen.
Now, to design a pedalboard for them. I've got a board already, but I want to make one, and this is a perfect reason!! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
