Behringer Modelling Combo Guitar Amps

Baught this amp on ebay. needed another tube amp to replace my old non working ones. Payed under 300 bucks. I like everything about it 'cept for that it is not made in USA. Love the effects, took some time to get acostomed to them but now I love them. It sounds better than anything I have heard in the $ range. What flexibility this amp has, i just love it man. NOthing Built well, no buzzing, no loose parts to rattle at hi volumes. built like a brick shi* house. One sweet amp. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this one online at Same Day Music.com, they have a lower shipping charges. I had a Fender Deluxe 112 plus that put out 90 watts of power but didn’t have the crunch I was looking for. Well I was looking at the new Spider amps from Line 6 but since they are harder than hens teeth to find and I needed an amp I took a chance with Behringer. I have a good friend that owns a Behringer bass amp and that amp was very sound for the money. I paid 250 dollars and shipping wasn’t very much more, 9 bucks I think. This amp has THREE killer settings! Tweed, for the Fender fans and it sounds good too. British for the Marshall/Vox type sounds and Californian for their Mesa type sounds. All of these settings can be used either with Clean, Hi Gain, or HOT! Take into consideration that this amp also has three Cabinet settings too, Flat, UK and US which helps to change the tone just that much more! It has Two channels that can be set to your needs and comes with a two switch foot controller that can which between channel and turn on or off the cool 24 bit effects. This amp has a neat little tuner on board too, it’s nice a simpe the way a tune should be and you can change the A tone from 440 hz up or down 15 hz. Now the effects range from reverb, chorus, flang, phase, rotary, echo, delay and a bunch more. It’s Midi effects so it will work with a Midi board too. This baby can push 50 watts through two 12 inch Jenson speakers that can take up to 70 watts of power. Now on the back panel of this amp is enough to blow you away for a 250-dollar amp! Inputs for cabinets, to drive other amps midi control, headphones you name it it’s got it! And the best part is the sounds, bottom line it can make the tone you are looking for. The particleboard used to build the amp is a down side. I would love to see this baby with a way for more control with the standard foot controller. But for the money .. can’t go wrong. It's built solid however the plastic knobs I'll be gentle with and I already stated the particleboard type of encasement. Got to say I like what I see or rather hear so far. ; ) I’m very pleased with this amp, it has the sounds that I was looking for and the price is prefect! I have a friend who owns the Fender Cyber Twin and yes the Cyber Twin is a better amp however dollar for dollar I’m not downing the Behringer at all. For this GMX does put out some great sounds just like the Cyber Twin! Bottom line, the value is unbeatable and I’ll give this amp a big thumbs up.

I read the reviews on gearreview and decided that this would be the best bang for the buck. I am recently getting back into playing after a 7yr. drought and with only an acoustic guitar. I went to musicians friend and purchase the amp for 249.99. There are many things I enjoy about this amp. First I really enjoy the excellent clear tones and the effects are amazing. I has read a lot of reviews and they said the amp didn't have great distortion so I purchased a dod death metal pedal. But the fact is it really has great overdrive to fairly ballsy distortion. As for the pedal I think I should have went for Boss or Marshall. After two months I haven't found any. I love it so much I hope it never needs serviced, +I don't know where to get repairs done? As good as any very nice. A kind of vintage fender look and feel. Great Price. Great Sound! Hurry and get one before they raise the prices on these things! casteel0913@mchsi.com This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I got this off eBay for $95, including a 20 foot cord. I have NO idea how I heard about Behringer, but my friend told me if you want to play in a band, you should get a 30 watt amp, and I got one. For $95, this thing is EXCELLENT. $95 for a 30 watt amp? What the hell is wrong with Behringer? The amp simulations (California = Mesa Boogie, Brittish = Marshall, Tweed = Fender) sound great, especially for a $95 (or $99 from musiciansfriend.com). I still cant decide which setting I like better: Calif or Brit. Both sound great. There are also 3 modes, Clean, Hi Gain and Hot. I don't really use the Hi Gain setting because Hot sounds a lot better. I usually keep it on clean though. There are 3 speaker simulations, US, UK and Flat. meh. Yes, it's 30 watts. 10' Jensen speaker, Gain control, 3 band EQ (Low/Bass, Mid, High) and volume (level). This amp CAN be used with pedals (I dont know why some people said it couldnt). What more can you ask for from a $99 amp?? oh yeah, a headphone input, D.I. Out for recording and some other stuff. Check the manual at the behringer website. hm......... It can't really handle metal that well, but with a pedal it should do fine. I dont know if its just my amp, but the GND Lift doesnt seem to work at all (although I dont need it). Because it's a 30 watt amp, the slightest movement of the volume control will change the volume a bit. ..........................doo do do do do...........*twidles thumbs* yeah thats about it. nothing bad. For the price and wattage, I cant really complain. So far, there havent been any problems. I have heard Behringer equipment is extremely reliable, and other people saying their amp broke down in 3 years. Well, my amp survived a flight from the U.S. to here (Canada) in 2 thin boxes with NO padding. I think the amp should outlast me. As for quality, you have nothing to worry about. This is a great beginner amp. It's good for practicing and recording, jamming with friends and pissing off neighbours and your family. I put this on full volume, and DAMN it was loud. SERIOUSLY, do NOT play it on full volume without ear plugs. lol. Some people say this amp would be worth at least $100 more if it could be used with pedals. HAH. Its $99 and it CAN be used with pedals. Check the Behringer website for all the features and everything. Theres a 10 or 11 page manual at the website. Buy it, it's a great amp.

Got this from Musicians Friend for $199 because my present main amp was getting out of date ('84). Plus I was tired of lugging around a bunch of effects & this has them built in. I like most of the effects, although some are kinda cheesy. The reverb and chorus pretty much stay on all the time. To me, they are very realistic. The fact that it has Jensen speakers was appealing also, plus it sorta has that "vintage" look to it like an old Fender. The clean channel has a nice warm sound SIMILAR to a tube amp but does not precisely nail it to a "T". But it is pretty close. I have to agree with everyone else about the overdrive. It's not all that great but people if you would just read the description of the amp it says "clean to MILDLY DISTORTED". With that in mind, one cannot really expect it to do grunge or metal or any other high-gain sound. If you are looking for a gain machine, this is not it unless you plug in a stompbox or two. Seems tough & well built. Most solid-state amps are pretty reliable so it should work for a long time. Two things on mine were goofed up from the factory when I got it. First, the line-in for the left channel didn't work unless I wiggled the jack back & forth. Second, the right & left speakers were switched around & everything that was supposed to come through the left side actually came through the right and vise-versa. Mind you, these two things were minor & I didn't sent it back, I just fixed them myself. Otherwise, no problems. Overall, it's a great amp & for the money it cant be beat. Plenty of volume and real pretty clean tone. Best "bang for the buck" that I've seen yet. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I'm a beginner guitarist. Prior to purchasing this goody, I had been using my computer speakers and/or a tiny little practice amp. Needed something better and louder. Did some research, and Blue Devil had the best price/performance ration. Paid around $210 at an online musical gears store. This IS a solid state amp. Make no mistake about that. So I wasn't expecting tubes performance. But it sounded better than I had expected. Two independent channels: Heaven and Hell (distorted with gain, and clean). They have some "Virtube" gizmo which is supposed to emulate the performance of a tubes amp. Well, it doesn't sound entirely like a tubes amp, but certainly sounds better than your average solid state job. 60W output, which is more than enough for home practice and maybe a gig for friends at a coffee shop. One thing I like about this amp is that it has built in effects. Not the best sounding effects in the world, but on par with cheapies such as Zoom. I bought the amp for its amp, so anything extra is a bonus. Pretty solid. Doesn't look like it's going to break down anytime soon. The effects could use a numeric key pad. Only two buttons for scrolling between 1 to 99. The foot switch is nice, but would be better if the pedals are assignable to page through different effects (as opposed to simply toggle the effect on and off). Solid job. Built like a tank. I could sit on the damn thing while I'm playing (not recommended). All the parts look like they can take up to years of beating. Only thing that may break down are those little buttons for effects. Only three buttons, and you have to press them all the time. Bottom line is: this is as good as it gets for $200. But don't expect miracle. You ain't gonna get the $5000 performance for $200.
