Sign in to disble this ad
so my friend gave me a behringer bass chorus and it's broken in a way, I checked if the battery thing was broken but it doesn't seem like it, still there is no led light to indicate that it's working, nor sound when I plug in my bass, any suggestions??

No suggestions here, but the exact same thing happened with a Roland AP-5 Phase Five I received today.... Frustrating when this happens, isn't it?

The difference is that the Roland served a long and useful life before breaking down, while the Behringer did not.

That's true. Still frustrating though.

Yes, could be. Try it with a wall-plug power supply.

You have a behringer? dude, you should go with a danelectro fab chorus pedal. it's a super affordable chorus pedal that can give you a retro-futuristic chorus sound. it is a chorus pedal made for guitar, but it does work well on bass. especially since it has a mix control(which mixes the dry signal with the effected signal).

Also, behringer has been notorious for making malfunctioning equipment. but to be fair, behringer pedals is more suitable for beginners. there's a good chance that your behringer pedal will malfunction soon. I personally would suggest buying a new chorus pedal.

hehe thanks, but in a way I am a beginner (über lazy to practise) and I was given it, plus I have no money, but thanks for the advice, I won't waste money on that sort of equipment in the future

Oh you're a beginner. okay. well, when you become an advanced bass player, you'll want to up-grade your bass gear.
