Club Behringer? hey hey hey

Currently, my Behringer BXL900A combo is my weekly band practice amp. It's the one that I can part with emotionally enough to leave at the practice space. It isn't very loud, so I have had it almost dimed, with a smiley face EQ. OTOH I have been playing it almost dimed with a smiley face EQ for hours and hours and it is holding up nicely. And sounds great. I'm just saying.

I received a BDI21 on Friday and gigged with it this weekend. It did an great job on the 'SVT' setting directly into the PA. Definietly satisfied, considering the price. Only issue I had was the load crackle when I unplugged from the input between sets.

Does anyone know if the load crackle happens if unplugged while on bypass? Also, does the battery drain while in bypass (red LED is off)?
 
I have a Behringer KX1200 "PA amp" that I have in the rehearsal room as a general-purpose amplifier that someone sold to me for $70. It's plenty loud and I have used it for gigging when my old rig took a crap on me. While I haven't had any problems with the thing it certainly doesn't sound the greatest and I really wouldn't make one of their products my mainstay.

They work alright but you can't expect much more out of them than what you paid for.

That always happens. With any pedal. You can stop it by turning the effect on the turning the volume down to 0 on the pedal. Thats what I do.

I sold my bx4500h ages ago, But i still use a bb210 cabinet teamed up with an ampeg svte15, though a markbass sa450. Sounds good enough for me!
 
Got me a Behringer Ultrabass BXL 1800A, and couldn't be happier with it in any way. The graphic equaliser is a brilliant addition IMO, and the Ultrabass function is handy when you need a bit more 'beef.'

Can't see me needing a new or more powerful amp for a while now, loud enough for gigs and quite enough for small venues/rooms.

Number maybe?

Cheers

Count me in! Behringer Gear:
BX1200 kickback-type amp, (on loan to a kid at my church)
EP2500 power amp (now in my bass rack. Made of awesome, major LOUD awesome).
BDI21 (great, but currently not used)
Current Chain:
DC9 compressor into-
ADI21 Adds a bit of grind before-
(Insert non-Behringer RAT II distortion here)
(2) FX-600's one for chorus, the other for flange-
GDI21 used for old-school fender amp tone
All on a PB1000 pedalboard (nice!)
Runs into an Ampeg VSP preamp then the EP2500
I use a ULTRA-G GI100 DI box a lot. Had several, a couple crapped out on me.
I used to have a MODULIZER PRO DSP1224P in my rack for chorus, but now it only gets used once a year in the church Easter play called Satan's Worst Nightmare (multi-pitch shifter for the voice of the devil. Spooky...)

Various mics, 1C-BK speakers a GMX212 amp for my g-tard escapades.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something else Behringer... :D

Our soundman (almost) always mutes our inputs between sets, so only the rare pop.

Battery is always on when plugged in, (except on mine, won't work on batteries since I ran it over with my car. Works great on an adapter though). Power stays on even if you disconnect the input jack when using the adapter.

Related note:

Try different AC to DC adapters with it (lower amperage/voltage gives a warmer, "squishier" sound, higher makes it firmer/more modern. Should work well between 7-10 volts.

Disclaimer: Try at your own risk. Don't go crazy on the volts/amps thing. I'm not responsible for fried amplifiers, basses or people. Be careful out there!

Wow, kind of sort of forgot we had Behringer stuff ! Keep in mind all of it stays in rehearsal, but it has been there for 3 years, fairly heavy use, no problems with any of it. I would really like to know what would have happened if the equipment had been gigged twice a month for 3 years. We will never know, but like I said, no complaints.

I'm in.

Here's my practice combo amp that gets dragged around to every band practice. Keeps up with the drummer and guitarist just fine, so for 250 bucks I can't complain. Wish it had a little more tone range but eh. Never had an issue with it. Know a lot of people have but mine seems to work just dandy.
