Value For Money :
Excellent
2x50 watts RMS stereo modeling a transistor amplifier circuit to lamp.
2 HP Jensen 12 "JCH 12/70 8 ohms.
Complete connectivity hyper:
midi out
stereo line output
effects loop
Auxiliary input stereo jack 6.35 (adjustable)
1 x stereo line output (indicated tape)
Output 2 HP
1 stereo headphone
Jack Crane (obviously)
So much for the connection.
The preamp section consists of two channels switchable analog modeling front or the footswitch provided.
Otherwise, it features a 24bit multi-effects.
2 3-band EQ with gain and output level
1 Presence
1 Master Volume
Need is a digital output and it would be perfect!
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use despite the possibilities.
It selects the channel (2 identical) on which selected the type of modeling using a small switch (like the Sansamp):
1. Tweed (typical Fender Tweed)
2. British (Marshall no doubt)
3. Calif (I think of a Mesa Boogie, but perhaps a Blackface Twin, to see ...)
then the type of gain
1.Clean (What's clear!)
2.Hi gain (good low gain overdrive with the gain and distortion so thoroughly)
3.Hot (High gain not for the blues ...)
And finally the type of Hp
1.Flat (no modeling - of HP's board)
2.UK (cabinet sound 4 * 12 "ended like Marshall)
3.US (His two HP 12 "Twin Reverb combo type)
The advantage of the fact that both channels are identical is that one can use a clean sound (or distortion) on both but with an equalizer and different effects depending on the selected channel. We just have to change channels using the footswitch - very practical ...
As for the multi-effects presets are the numbers of 99 with all the typical effects:
Chorus - Flanger - Phaser - Delay - Reverb - Auto Wah - Pitch - Tremolo - compressor - ... etc.
Some presets have several effects such as Chorus / Reverb - Flanger / Delay - etc ...
The only problem is that you can not change the direct effects on the amp. We can only control the amount of effects. However, if you have a midi interface, you can access all the settings for each effect (Complete MIDI implementation)
As for the use of the connection back, we do what we want is so full:
Departure to sound system, stereo speaker output for greater dissemination and more.
I put 8 / 10 only because the effects can not be altered without midi ...
SOUNDS
Here is the pleasant surprise from Behringer ...
I was looking for an amp with good clean sound. Not bad!
For heavy distortion I'm not an expert, but this amp also provides very well on this side ...
The simulation of Tweed in to clean the fish and a sound that can be bold enough or lens.
The serious bump. It was almost the impression of playing on a tube amp.
For cons, the volume is lower than other simulation. We must therefore push the Level not to be above passing of this simulation to that of Marshall. But this is really a detail without any effect on the sound!
The simulation in the British Hi-Gain: Well I think it sounds rather like Marshall JCM
The simulation in Calif clean: it reminds me a lot like a Fender Twin and allows cruncher pushing the gain
I could not put it too on other modes simus because it would be too exhaustive.
My preference: simulation Tweed - Clean mode - simu HP UK
Anyway, this amp is the clean nickel. For distos, it goes very well regardless of the style.
This amp to a sacred potato. Almost the same as a tube amp.
I get to have a great sound for playing the Rolling Stones and ACDC. Pink Floyd and (most importantly for me) it goes great, even better than I expected.
About the effects: some are very good, even exceptional (Stereo Tremolo, and Reverb). The modulations are good. For cons, the Wah is really rotten and rotary fairly average. But overall, it holds up.
Another good thing about this amp is very neutral if its attack directly the power amp with a multi-effects modeling type Pod, Tonelab or Zoom G2.
Usually the models go wrong on an amp. And of course the GMX212, no problem!
It fully respects the models including the HP that I recommend to activate because this amp is made for! I never heard my zoom ring as well. The simulation sounds Fender Fender, Vox like Vox and Marshall idem.
So if you have a good modeler, it will form a harmonious pair with this amp!
Of any good compared to its issue price. In any case better than the Line 6 Flextone 3 with which I could compare
I put 9 / 10 only because some effects are average.
OVERALL OPINION
This amp is great. The price / quality ratio is excellent.
The models are of high quality for the price of the machine.
It has a trunk and a fishery that can easily make the scene.
I recently tried several amp before giving in to this one.
The Flextone 3 XL (2x75-watt model) The Vox AD120VT, AD60VT, AD50VT AD30VT ET.
The Hughes & Ketter Matrix 100 - The Fender FM65R.
I bought the Behringer because it is the only one who was as fishing and sound almost as good as the VOX AD120VT (my first choice - Line6 far behind). Admittedly, the Behringer does not have neither the reputation of a Vox or a Fender, but it perfectly supports the comparison with the amps mentioned above.
With experience, if I had not more money, I will take it without hesitation. Otherwise it would only take AD120VT VOX is a step up. Because it would not be worth changing to a lower amp ...
In any case, an excellent price / quality ratio.
Pleasant surprise from Behringer ...
