As mentioned by my predecessors, it is indeed a modeling amp with all the connectivity imaginable, footswitch, midi, effects loop, dual stereo output, a slave in pre amp, etc ...
The power is 2 * 60 watts, which is more than enough for them to show off the leaves ...
Big advantages: the multi purpose ... Disadvantage: the multi purpose ...
Indeed, too much effect kills the effect, one could make a good third in the bucket, because of futility ...
In rhythm, I'm in the "dry", ie zero effect, and there, hello waffles!
A big regret: There's no third channel "lead" and it is a shame, but I found the parade, I reserve the presets 90 or 91 (compressor) for my solos, it can move slightly above the group ...
The small delay in the ignition switch is a little annoying at first, but after you adapt and it manages (as Richard ...)
Otherwise, to the sound, nothing to say, I practice a very hard rock "couillu" gmx and what I use also as head of the behringer 4 * 12 is more than many road

UTILIZATION

Over the config is simple, the sound comes almost naturally, big advantage of modeling compared to tube amps, but I recognize that we must love ...
But I give a third layer for the missing channel, because with that, we come close to perfection ...
The manual is quite clear to one who understands quickly, and there is a defect in recurrent Behringer, textbooks are designed to be read by the person who wrote ...
But hey, it always comes out ...

SOUNDS

The behringer is perfectly suited to all styles, as hard as I exit the practice at high doses with my group, we have some softer compound, and there, he knows perfectly to slip into the shoes of an acoustic session ...
my two guitars a Epiphone Les Paul Classic and a Charvel Jackson Model 6, in all cases, the graous is on the shelf ...
With my demon wah ibanez weaping accoublée an old but effective delay DSD boss solo is a killer!
Incidentally, the car's multi wha effect is worthy of a gift Bonux, meaning to shit against ...
Be careful, because saturated channel, the hardest is to play between the presence and treble, if not, beware of feedback, especially if you like the riot of decibels!
Serious chest and give a round that I love, and the media provide good sustain, all there!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two good years, I had first combo and then as head coupled to the B 412 behringer always home ...
If I have to replace it one day, it will be by his cousin's head v-AMPYRA which has exactly the same characteristics, speaker cabinets and 10 kgs in less ...
I tried the comparison with a laney head TT50H home, (it's still something!) But nothing to do, I keep my behringer.
My guitar playing on a jcm 900 with a gas plant around, frankly, my behringer is more than up ...
There's probably better I do not dispute, but he justifies such a price difference?
I remember 25 years ago, a guitar brand suffered from a bad reputation because of political "cheap" ...
Ibanez ...
I think we'll talk about the gmx 212 in a few years ...
