Sansamp GT2 vs Behringer GDI21

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Comparison between Sansamp GT2 and Behringer GDI21. The sound is almost the same, but price gap is huge. GT2 costs $190 while GDI21 costs only $30. The sound quality of the video recording is not that good, but the objective is to compare the two, not to review the sound quality of each, so for comparison purposes, this should be okay.
There are are three settings compared in the video:
1. Mild Distortion (Tweed)
2. Mid Distortion (Calif/Clean)
3. Hard Distortion (Brit/Hot)
Note that my laptop normalizes the audio during setting #3 (hard distortion) so you may notice that the sound gets muffled. Just compare the muffled sound.
Net, I highly recommend Behringer GDI21. As a bonus, it also has XLR output so it can be used as a DI box.
Thank you man! you are the only who don't use higain sound on the test but also make a good test on the clean section!
I have a GDI21 for about 6 monts now, and it's awesome! I really recommend it to anyone who want a good pedal at quater price of other products. I use it with a vox pf10 and a really cheap "guitar" (about 100$) and it gives me the sound i want. I like it's sound better than an ibanez tubescreamer.
The mid hump of the V30 aligns with the frequencies best perceived by the human ear. So because guitars carry the most musical information in metal, the V30's dominance is the natural conclusion.
I own one of these and have a friend that has the sans amp. No comparison. The Behringer has a lot of buzz and noise when you turn up the gain that his sans amp doesn't have.
Absolutely !
I put my Sansamp and my Behringer through an amp. Even with flat settings, I wasn't able to dial in a good sound.
Probably more for recording or going through PA rather than through an amp.
I think the sansamp sounds more clear and articulated.
Certainly for the high tones and overtones, probably due to higher quality components used by tech 21
Thanks for this video comparison. I got the Behringer gdi21.
Thanks man for taking your time to do this demo. It helped me a lot :) !!!!!!
Another "thank you" for the exhaustive comparison.
Thank you very much!
The Sanamp has a more focused sound. They do sound very similar.
i think you're not supposed to use them infont of an amp... i use my gdi when i go direct
Look the same sound, but comparison with bad mic???? No way man!!!! The sound is on the details!!! The little differences are very important and it makes the real and huge difference!!!!
Yup, I agree :-) I wish I had a good recording equipment 4 yrs ago when I had both of these pedals with me.
You're right - a lot of people do use them as preamps and that's great, but it's primary purpose is as a modeler.
No, I know what a power amp is
Many people buy it but don't know what a modeler is, and don't like it because they use it in addition to amp distortion and high gain settings.
Using either of these units as a preamp, the amp settings should be flat and clean, unless the user really knows what he's doing. Other than that, the sound is not going to be what was intended by the designers
Uſe it þru a PA ſpeaker
@theallmightyham It is a modeler, to replace an amp. It is NOT a preamp
The word Sansamp in french means "without amp"
thank you.
God dammit, let both stay on all the time! And do not turn them off when you switch them!
thanks for this video , but bad mic of the camera
My behringer sounds warmer and more realistic than a J station or a POD. The effects really make it a good deal too
@whoosoo Get a Behringer noise reducer as well. They work together well. You can get nice usable tones out of them.
Very nice video.. thanks!
After using both of these pedals, I can tell you the gdi21 sounds like $30 distortion pedal with a speaker simulator. The gt2 sounds like a real amp, better than any digital model.
what scale do you use? great job!
O único problema da GDI é o medo de pisar no switch, mas pode meter o pé que não quebra não.
O som dos dois é muito parecido, sendo a GDI uma cópia da GT2. Você tem como provar a qualidade dos componentes (resistores, CIs e transistores) ?
Te garanto qua a qualidade dos componentes é a mesma.
Ambos roubam um pouco de sinal, sento a GT2 mais "beberrona"...
Você conseguiu achar algum video de alguém que testou esses componentes?
the biggest difference is that behringer products typically last a few days. the sans amp will last forever if you don't throw it at a brick wall.
Hahaha.Nakabili na ko.Panalo sound nya.Ayos!
The tones around 4:30 were really good...
Behringer FTW!
@markcasq what pickups are you using in the bridge?they're great!
Man, thank you soooo much for this video!
I'm getting a Behringer, definitely!
hi, i have a big muff and im looking for a booster, i was thinking about ds 1, sd1, or behringer gdi 21, i pya rock, grunge, punk, post rock etc, and looking for a cheep option, i wana know what you think could be the best option, nice demo bro any tip or advice is well.
uy ayos yan sir a.makabili nga nyangBehringer GDI21 na yan.$30? mga P1500 kulang kulang,ayos.
Haha I am sure you can not hear a difference because the schematic is exact the same and the opams, resistors and capacitors are all the same too!! The bonus on the Behr is the price and the XLR out! Great value. The difference in sound is the mojo on the brand.
I think it's a little more complicated than that haha. SansAmps come in a metal casing, are a lot sturdier, and are hand built in the USA, not manufactured in China. They've got a better manufacturer's warranty, too.
Not saying it's worth the price for everyone, the Behringer price is hard to beat, but understand that that's how behringer's business model works: take other manufacturer's technology and undercut them to the point that they can't compete. They do it to Boss, Mackie, Ibanez, and even smaller companies like Tech 21.
I said you can not hear a difference and that has nothing to do with the metal casing etc. And I don't need a factory warranty for that price! This is a demo about Tone. And tonewise they are the same! And I must say they sound both terrible! Much to much ear piercing high frequencies. The only way to use them is with a eq pedal after this pedal.
Everybody in pedal world is copying each other!
@ricochetfuzzy this sansamp is PERFECT for nirvana sounds
Someone should do this with the Bass Driver and the BDI21 clone.
I wonder how long it will take them to clone the new Sansamp Character series pedals.
Are the preamps in the effect loop or before the amp?
Any Feedback Problems with the Behringer?
I heard it´s really noisy..
@oimpiedoso +1 and sound is really bad even if you say that this is for comparison purpose...hard to evaluate sound quality with bad record... it reminds me the guy who record a video of HD videogame with a VGA webcam...looks it's great ! Don't know really what you want to compare except the price ant the number of settings...
In Uruguay, the GT2 cost is 298 dlr$, the Behringer cost 45 dlr$ and they almost the same!!!!!!, thnx behringer thnx a lot!!!!!!!!!
well, since the sans amp is meant to be for recording, does it make a difference what the volume is?
I was buy SansAmp GT2 just because i buy GDI-21 at first... and it sound not so far... (i would say ALMOST SAME) but the little cons for GDI-21 are.. its more noise if you bring it on a gigs.... but if see the price comparison...!!! i buy SansAmp for USD230 and GDI-21 only USD36... Like Earth and Heaven..!!
@markcasq lol the sansamp is entirely made of metal lol
Behringer is really good, but you must have some patience and try averything to find the sound you want. I'm using him for Heavy Metal and it's just great! of course... my amp helps, but its a small em simple Amp...
Behringer rocks!!!
its obvious that sansamp gt2 is far better quality purchase and its even build from METAL not from plastic
yes, Laney LG20R
The Sansamp is brighter, more correct & clean. The Behringer too muddy and clumsy sounding.
are you connected to a guitar amp?
Amigo 100% de razon Suenan Iguales!!!!!!!!!
behringer opamps are el cheapo TL074's and TL072's not unlike those in the original sansanps
yes
And I believe that your pedel sounds better than in this vid.. its normal)))))))
well, the quality is the same. They have probably changed some parts around though, they can't copy the schematic :/ That is why there is a difference in sound :P
Однозначно SansAmp GT2 звучит намного лучше Behringer GDI21! Слышно даже на такой плохой записи.
Of course they can copy the schematic! Cloning pedals is commonplace.
sansamp is much better. You prove nothing. You have got it... and what? Off course this pedal is not expansive. And sounds not so bad as some products of behr. But... if we compare both pedals.. )) sorry.
@markcasq dapat talaga bayaran ka na bro. nasa website nila ang video mo na to.
This is what I wanted to watch! Thank you for uploading.
Well copied anyway. But I take Sansamp price for granted. Musical instruments are part of music. Original is the special.
I'd rather the guitar with NO pedal
very little difference
use another cam, cant quite listen carefully to it. seriously.
Horrible todo...
Crappy review. The audio sucks. The distortion settings are blowing out your mic. That's no way to compare sound.
