I have one of these units in the car actually. Its my emergency "amp" that I can run through the PA if my real amp fails. I'm trying to cover all the bases when I go to a gig and for 20 quid it's a pretty cheap save.
@@karelkalaf1 as you know from watching the jhs video….in behringer case cheap means nothing…I’m getting some behringer pedals for Xmas ncluding this one…good review..I’ve subscribed
Sounds great , can i ask . Could you run this with this order . Guitar , pedal board , GDI 21 then split into amp and run off to mixing desk (P A) this I assume would mean you don’t have to mic up the amp when playing live ?
Good question. The truth is I have no idea how good it would sound, but I guess it all depends on what you put in front of it I'm sure there are pedals that would work like say, off the top of my head, a tube screamer; there ain't nothing that pedal don't make sound better. At the moment I have the unit in the trunk of my car as a back up if I ever loose my amp or pedals. I'm guessing that if my pedal board breaks down or gets lost or stolen then I can limp through the gig with it as a distortion pedal. And if my amp breaks down I can finish the gig with an amp simulator set to crunch and just control how clean or distorted my guitar sounds by using the volume and tone controls whilst using the reverb from the desk.
Hey bud. You know, about two or three days after you posted this question I had to do a gig with another guitarist, but the venue only had one amp. Big pickle! With only 20 minutes before we had to go onstage there was no time to get an amp, so I went to the my car and got this unit, which I keep precisely there for this sort of situation. We ran it straight to desk with a distortion pedal in front of it and you know what. It sounded pretty much like an amp. All we needed was to have it in the monitors and voila!
I don't have one but I guess that all those products are made to both go into an amp or direct into the desk. My suggestion would be to just try it either way and see. The Behringer has some sounds and settings that I like and some that I find don't work for me. Experiment!!!!
Good pedal for what it is, but on a solid state amp quickly becomes unusable when you really crank the settings. Tubes clean up the short comings, so for some people's rigs, they're a poorman's savior.
I agree. I didn't like the sound so much on the amp. But I keep it in the car in case my amp dies. I ended up using it when a friends amp died on stage and nothing to be found at midnight. That really saved the day!
@@karelkalaf1 the downside to their low end/priced pedals is the pots tend to go in and out from sitting, you don't even have to use the things. My background is actually electrical/electronics engineering, and I tried reflowing the solder joints and cleaning them with contact cleaner, but they're still all wonky. I will attempt to repair it again because it's still a fairly useful pedal in an emergency and it works well with solid-state amps dirty channels too, and that that can be difficult to find. I still have the Behringer distortion modeler that does the RAT, the DS1 and the D+ models, but it's pots did the same thing just from sitting around unused. The bottom line is for $30, home use and knowing to take a bit better care of them, they probably never would have gone but they have floated around in junk drawers at times. *Fortunately, I can just design better circuits from scratch at this point and it's what I'm currently doing.* I will have my own preamp/power amp built soon and I won't have to rely on tubes anymore. Solid-State actually does it better, but next to no manufacturer seems to hire properly educated people in their companies that can actually do it right! *It's not exactly hard either and the answers are in plain sight assuming you are college educated and a fairly skilled guitarist.*
Great review pal!
Sounds really good. Many thanks for the review.
Thanks Robin. Next one will be more thorough!
Incredible review!!
Thanks Greg. It was a lot of fun to do it. Didn't think it would have that many views!
Nice review!
Thanks bud!
Very nice demo Karel
Thanks mate!
Wicked!
Great video! I ordered up one of these for my guitar player in case his amp ever goes down on stage!

A response from the man himself! Awesome! Thanks again for the video and insight!
Sounds pretty good!!!! For £20 !!! Pretty cool!! Nice tones
I'm surprised how good some of the cheap stuff sounds sometimes!

Great for bass/guitar PC recording.
Haven't tried it live yet but will. I'd Love to leave the amp at home.
I mainly use it as a secondary option but it has come through every time bud.

can a tech21 liverpool be plugged into? can it be plugged into a "clean" physical amplifier?

the unit sounds good but now I'm afraid of tigers...
Скажите, пожалуйста ЛУПЕР есть в ней?
Это не лупер. Просто симуляция гитарного усилителя, мой друг
@@karelkalaf1 спасибо 👍🏻
