Published on 10/17/03 at 15:00I 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.
