STV replacement!

[JimmyM]

i'm not bitter. i just don't care for their business model, which is to copy ALL successful products with their warehouse of cheap crap.

Do you not like SX either?

 

[JimmyM]

i like sx ok. but sx makes stuff that is actually usable and sounds good.

Like it or not, so does Behringer.

Imitation being the sincerest form of whatever...

I've got my old SVT, but if this turns on newer players who would otherwise be clueless to the joys of playing though a tube amp, I don't think it's such a bad thing.

A quick Google search shows these selling for around USD$700, new. When used ones start floating around for $350'ish, it'll be hard to justify spending $1K for a used Damp Leg - assuming these don't develop a rep for blowing up.

+1 i'm not a huge fan of their QC, while ampeg nowadays aren't great they're still gonna be quite a bit higher quality than the behringer knock off

Meh.

You get what you pay for.

This stuff is kind of like most modern consumer electronics, use it for two years, and trash it when its broken. Ipods, TV's, DVD players or whatever the current media is, and so on.

You barely own anything anymore, you just hold onto it until it breaks and you buy the MKIII version of it.
