New Behringer pedals *Haters keep out!!!*

(these are all Behringer Pedals I'm talking about by the way), I Love the Bass Overdrive, it makes my base sound like a blow torch when i crank it up. Happy with Bass Chorus, and the Bass Graphic EQ. I'm a Huge fan of the Dynamics Compressor, especially with bass even though this pedal is not specifically designed for Bass. On the other hand i don't really like my Bass limiter enhanse (the sound is weak to me), and the Tuner is a little tough to use with bass, it seems like it doesn't "hear" the low strings well.
I'm also now trying some guitar pedals too, and again it depends on the pedal.
As far as Behringer copying Boss, amongst others, well...Roland is just as guilty for the Boss line and many other companies run similar if not the same circuits with diferent tweaks, you can't change the Physics behind the sounds, so it shouldn't be surprising that the circuits are similar.

I'm NOT a hater,but the only thing about behringer that looks promising-is a posibillity of rehousing them fx...
it's the crapiest and cheapest design by far,but anyone can go wrong-so can behringer go wrong,and make something useful,once in a while...
bottomline--decent sound for the money,crappy design
if you're a noobie-it's ok for noodling and learning
if you're advanced player-either rehouse it or BURN it.otherwise be prepared for epic failure during a gig.

The above link references Behringer bashing in the forum rules. I don't want to see anyone get in trouble with the mods.

It's ironic that you say that. I originally posted in this thread almost 3 and a half years ago. And not only has the CC-300 I mentioned in that post lasted until now and still going strong, I have added another Behringer pedal to my board (BSY-600), and it hasn't broken either. And I think that calling me a noobie would be pretty damn presumptuous. And yes, I gig. Both of these pedals have made it through easily over 100 gigs at this point, and nary a problem. So let's tone down the hate, shall we?
Yep, gigged my Behringer pedals dozens of times, not a single problem. I think some people see "plastic housing" and incorrectly think "useless junk." Nothing could be further from the truth.
Anybody has any idea about Invalid Link Removed I mean: could it be useful for bass?
(BTW: everybody copied Leo's original P anyway!!!

I'm sure it would work just fine... but I wonder, in general, how that type of effect sounds on bass. Give it a try.
bought it online. Next week it will come. Somewhere I've read "Bass Rotary Machine" so it should work...
Not sure how.close it is to the Boss rotary pedal, but I love how that sounds, as long as you don't use the built-in overdrive, which was not good.

dude...
first off, i gig 2-3 times a week.
therefore,i NEED a strurdy efxs,that are NOT going to break first time i put my foot a wee' bit harder.
and i love to PLAY,what would it be like if I have to worry about it breaking appart during a gig?
now,I've seen 'n played A LOT of behringer products(not just efxs)-CRAP
good sound for the money,I agree-but all that plastic? cheap design?
why not rehousing it?
to each his own,but I think behringer can be bypassed as a efx company-unless it's a must-have-and I agree some people find it useful.
totally cool with me
I'm just pissed 'cause....it's crap-design wise
what do behringer have that arion,nux, and other plastic companies don't?(design wise,i agree it sounds better then the above mentioned)
it's not that better ain't it?
I greet the rehousing of behringer,could be worth it
but I'm not so sure about using them in present condition:scowl:
maybe I'm just to ruff on 'em
Behringer RM600 arrived at home; played a bit and still tweaking to find a comfortable set-up. Don't see anything bad on this pedal, actually!!! Plastic? It seems robust enough anyway. How does it sound? I like it, overall impression. Have to find a setting that satisfies me but functioning is easy to be understood and used. It mimicks three different rotating cabs.
I am satisfied

This is for those who complain about plastic housings.
One of the reason why Behringer pedals are so affordable is that they are in plastic housing. You, as the buyer, should recognize that the pedal is not built like a tank and treat it accordingly. If you treat your toys too rough and break it thats not Behringers fault but yours. My laptop is housed in plastic, I like my laptop, so I treat it with more respect than my step-ladder.
Even if I had a metal cased DI box, like the Sansamp, I would pamper that thing becuz I treat all my equipment well.

@Loopmantra,
I see what you're saying about re-housing the Behringer pedals in a sturdier metal box so that you could be a little more rough with it on stage. Radio Shack's website (as other sites I'm sure) sells metal project boxes of various sizes that one could transfer the guts out of the plastic housing and into a more stage worthy box.

see,this's where you're wrong.no one is blaming behringer for anything(at least I'm not).we just all AGREE that it's the good bang for the buck,but answer me this-expencive or not,plastic or not-name me ONE major player using behringer pedal......reason? it's plastic,it's not durable and some of them are just downright FLANKY.
it's true-one of the reasons for their low prices is that same plastic housing,but,this is something i rlly don't get-instead of addin' a few bucks and buy a proper pedal-people go on and buy a cheaper behringer clone,and then they curse when it brakes or whatever....ffs
funny thing,in my country none of the major stores(6 o' them)
are selling behringer products anymore....when I asked why(i was looking to buy a harmonizer and rehouse it),they said that EVERY SINGLE pedal they sold was brought back for repair-within guarantee period.so it just doesn't work for them.
you can only order them now via the net.
I just noticed your in Eastern Europe, cool, the music scene is hot over there. You also can order things from Thomann alot cheaper than I could. Thomann offers things you can't get here in the US.
