New Behringer pedals *Haters keep out!!!*

[grooVWy]

I am NOT a Behringer hater. I think that in many cases, the 80/20 rule applies - they offer 80% of the quality for 20% of the price of other brands. They've also given the effects market a good shakeup so, regardless of what you think of Behringer, everyone should be reap the benefits.

However, I AM a BOD100 hater - I tried it and found it awful! Really, really, really bad. I've also tried the Bass Chorus and that's fine for the money and I own the BDI21 which I think is awesome! The BOD100, though, was appalling. I now use a Digitech Bad Monkey for overdrive (not distortion) which is amazing and only a little bit more money than the Behringer.

thanks for the comment. (not from my wallet´s behalf). I wasn´t familiar with that bedal before and am not sure yet where can I find a dealer, but I´ll have a looksie for it.

Only 15 EUR more than the Behringer. Aside from the sonic benefits, it also has a well-built metal case rather than the plastic of the Behringer.

Failing that, there's always Ebay...

Get the Bad Monkey instead! Creamy overdrive with no loss of the lows!

just checked it. Originally a guitar pedal isn´t it ?

So. No diff between the TU100 and 300?

+1. i have and love the bad monkey.

I´m going to get it, it´s almost the same price and in metal box.

Yes, it is. But works phenomenally well on bass as the comments on this thread and elsewhere on Talkbass testify.

You won't regret it! Let us know how you get on!

Where do you see the TU300?

Ahhh, I was having a bit of trouble finding it, but it's not released yet apparently.

To me the only difference is the blue LED, which makes a world of difference. I expect the 300 to completely and utterly oust the 100 in all respects.

Maybe it tunes better. ;>

 

[Nyarlathotep]

Maybe the 300 is a rip-off-with-"improvements" (the blue LED) of their own TU100

 

[Nyarlathotep]

Wouldn't that be nuts!

Somehow I think the *Haters keep out!!!* didn't work....

I'm not a Behringer hater. I owned only one of their pedals. It was a bass eq. Even when all faders were set to 0 it changed my tone dramatically and seemed to suck gain so I sold it.

I will be trying the Slow Gear clone most likely though, because I had no luck in hunting down the original.

+1, sadly.



Anyways, the two pedals that have caught my eyes are the GDI21 (Sansamp GT2 knockoff with added DI out, something I need), and the PB100 pre/booster. I can't say the whole line blows me away, but there are gems in there.

Try it and let us know how it is, and if you hate it maybe try a Guyatone SV-2.

Guys, I really think the Pigtronix ASDR is going to own both of those. Plus, I hear the SV-2 doesn't like bass. =\

Hey, I've been trying to be neutral and only state facts. (Aside from ^that opinion, but that's nothing to do with Behringer. I just really want an ASDR.)

Unfortunately both Guyatone and Pigtronix have no dealers in Poland. :/
