I am interested in the above. I am looking forward to get my hands on them (not all of them, but a good bunch now that the price is so low).

www.piedog.com or

£16.50 inc free postage in the U.K only.

They have a full range of Behringer's pedal's on there too just like bluearan.Not sure if they ship internationally though.

I contacted Behringer a while ago just as they was due to release these pedal's,they mentioned that the U.K will be the first marketed place to receive them(nice to see that we get first choice unlike most things!!!) although they didn't give any real reason.Maybe they just think we're all cheapo's who don't want to part with our hard earned cash thesedays :D

Probably because you are closer to China so shipping does not take as long. :hmm:

I've got the BDI21 and it really sounds quite nice. I've seen a couple posts here about it sounding pretty terrible. Unless a particular unit is defective (which could be possible), keep in mind that it's technically a line-level preamp (in addition to DI and overdrive and tube emu and such). If you're getting badness chances are you're way overdriving amp. My main source of noise is a QSC power amp and the BDI21->QSC sounds absolutely perfect.

I've also got the Hellbabe Wah (sold my morley shortly after I got the Hellbabe) and the Bass Chorus (meh - it's nice, not a big chorus user though). I just just got the BLE pedal and the dynamics enhance function works as well as my rack BBE 462, though with only 1 channel.

I've never disliked Behringer, but I have been wary in the past just because of the lower price - if it's cheaper it's gotta be cheaper ;-). If you're looking for good sounding affordable gear (tho maybe not the most rugged - time will tell), the Behringer stuff is quite solid.

what morley wah did u have?

Hrm, it's a tough comparision - or at least not directly comparable. The range of the pedal mechanisms are very similar (Behringer has a really snappy spring fyi). I would say that the Morley has a slightly wider range in terms of the wah effect itself. Personally, I don't like that - harder to be precise IMO if your not just stomping away on it. Regarding the range of sound that can be affected, it's the Behringer definitely. The Range knob + Q + Fine Tune + boost & level really allow a ton of control over how you scoop the sound. You can pretty easily dial in the percussive funk sound from the Morley dual bass wah. Like the dual bass wah, it works perfectly with a 6 string bass (low B is fine, f# is less than splendid - may just be me).

Behringer is a battery hog. New 9v will give you at least 3h. Get a Powerall or something. I use the 1spot and it's completely noiseless (switching supply, no transformer).

I'm not big into the 70s funk (my wah usage is very Rage specific), if I was I'd probably stay with the other pedal. The Pro 2 metal housing alone ensures that it'll work nearly forever while withstanding abuse. As wah isn't an intregal part of how I play it's hard to justify the $$ for something (to me) more gimmicky. Considering that I also like the sound & control of the Behringer more, it was a no brainer about which one is more appropriate for me.

My advice, if you want a wah and you KNOW you want a wah, get whatever it is that you want (Morley, Bawls, etc). If you're thinking about a wah or could work one into your gig, get the Behringer. The sound is on par with something boutique, but you don't have the 'I just spent $75-$200 on this thing so I really gotta use it' mentality :-)

Hope that helps a bit. Like I said before, I've never disliked Behringer, but because I take my music very seriously I'm very careful about the money I put into my gear. The $30 price tag isn't indicative of the sound quality.

Also, don't buy this pedal used. No clue about what happened to it before you. It is plastic (though pretty tough) and plastic like aluminum will stress fracture.

My UT100 and BOD100 have both arrived and both seem pretty decent pedals soundwise. Took me a while to find a sound I liked on the overdrive, but im getting used to it now. Tremelo seems pretty nice on my guitar, and works alright with my bass too.
Construction wise they feel quite cheap (which I expected tbh) - plastic casing, flimsy pedal & control knobs, but they are still useable and a welcome sacrifice for the price of the units.
Overall, two good entry level pedals and well worth it for their price.

But unfortunately one of my jack cables has just snapped inside the UT100 and has got lodged in there, so now I cant use it till I find a way of getting the bloody thing out.
Gah!

:(

I've had the Bass Chorus, Lim/Enhancer and EQ for a while now and thought I'd give a little update....
The chorus has found a permanent home w/ me...it's that good! Personally, I haven't heard another chorus that my ears like better for bass, at any price.
Both the EQ and the L/E are ok for $20 but they do not have permenant places in my everyday gear...they are both just a bit noisy for my taste.
The L/E works fantastically, the EQ is alright but not great.
I'm probably not going to sell them; just keep em around as loaners and such.

I actually bought that UF100 flanger for 19.99 and i am actually surprised how it sounds. The pedal is noise free, the casing sucks but you get what you paid for. I can get really spaced out sounds on it, close to a ring mod. sound. Also I would of placed the power plug in the rear like a boss instead of the side, makes it harder to place on your board. I will get the delay pedal when it comes out

I have now the 2nd UO100 and this thing sucks. The first one let only 1/3 of my bass signal through the bypass. I returned it and the 2nd one was better because it let 2/3 through. It is absolutely junk. I have the BEQ100 and the BLE 100 which are very good, but the UO100 is a lemon. I heard this also from other users so this must be a construction problem.

Oh well - that's not encouraging. I guess I better get a 9V battery out and check. I'm actually supposed to use the pedal at a gig this weekend for one song. :hmm:
