MGR/Tony Pietro « Behringer GX-212 »
Published on 12/23/03 at 15:00Purchase my Ultratwin GX212 online from Musiciansfriend.com for $199.99! I got this for myself as a Xmas gift. I had a Zoom Fire 15 and sold it to raise money for this amp. I needed a low cost modeling amp that mainly for home and some jam sessions with my usual gang of musicians.
I had a Zoom 15 watt modeling amp which I had got back in Sept 2003 and paid $180 with tax. I couldn't believe that you can get a high quality modeling amp as good as this GX212 for such a low price and I'm glad I snapped this one up. The versatility of this amp is unbelievable. I have 2 guitars, and ES-335 copy by Washburn and a Strat copy by Yamaha. Both sound great through this amp. I've spent hours trying all the diffrent efects through both the clean and overdrive channel. The amp nails the Fender Twin amps down to a tee! I've hooked up my casio keyboard to the aux input and it sounded great with no distortion and in stereo to boot!. I could go on and on but you must try this amp. No need to spend more money than needed as this amp outclasses anything in it's price range and higher in some cases.
Very little not to like. I bought the extended waranty from musicians friend but doubt I'll ever need it. The only thing I wish they had included was a more extensive cheat sheet as some others have mentioned as a spring board for setting up amp simulations (e.g., Marshall, Fender, Vox, etc.)
Quality so far has been excelent. Wish I had money for the midi-controller foot pedal. Amp is moderately heavy and solidly built. Sound is very clean with some minor noise at high gain on the distortion settings, but this is typical for these effects. I am very impressed with the sturdiness and overall build quality.
Everyone I've shown this amp to so far could not believe that this high quality, great sounding amp cost so little. Three friends said they intend to purchase it for themselves after hearing this amp.
I would rate this a 5 for it's quality, price, performance ratio!
