I've had the Behringer for years. It has outlasted 6 pairs of heavy boots, concrete floors and tumbled around in gym bags. Never had any problems with it. Sounds amazing and fits my preference in music. DIY, vintage punk, Marc Ribot & Tom Waits. 🙃🙌
People commenting on how the metal Boss is more durable than the plastic Behringer. If someone is playing guitar as a hobby at home it makes sense to go with the cheaper pedal. If you are gigging and hauling your equipment all over the place then the more expensive pedal is better for the reliability. Which pedal is the better deal depends on how you are going to use it.
True but i will add that the plastic is fairly solid. It is hardly marshmellow. If you take care and not throw/kick your pedal board excessively in a rage, then you should be alright.
At higher rates the Boss sounds smoother and more round, but in general i think, for the price, the Behringer is better..at lower rates it sounds better too, the boss falls short in tone and volume at lower rates..
rick lavigne 2 years using the Behringer and works well. Yes, made out of plastic. It all depends how you treat it through...I guess. Sadly I hate the look it has on my pedalboard and trying to get a TR2 to replace it. Just for the looks of it!!!!! I hate myself for that lol.
@@binky777 "Break ridiculously easy" if you're breaking it, you're doing it wrong. I'm not saying you should baby your pedals or whatever, but you should at least be taking minimal care of your gear. I've got a plastic Ibanez Auto-Wah that's made even cheaper than the Behringer family of pedals and I've had it for longer than I have had *any* of my Boss pedals (though my HM-2 is decidedly older). Seriously mate, if you're breaking your pedals, that says more about how you treat your gear than the quality of the gear itself.
Shoot when my behringer breaks im just gonna drop the guts in a metal housing and keep using it. Come to think of it i May just do that as a project one day.
Cheers Ryan this is a great comparison video! I love Behringer pedals they are amazing value for money.... The Boss sounds a little more smooth and rounded to my ears but the Behringer sounds really excellent, seems the user would just have to tweek it a bit more to find their desired sound and setting
My tremolo needs are very simple -- just need a good, tight pulse, and the Behringer does what I need. The other night at a gig, someone in the audience asked how my guitar was getting "that organ sound," which was nothing but the Behringer trem. Good compliment in my book. My only complaint is that it seems to create a slight but audible volume drop! Never had that experience with a trem pedal before. I have it right after drive and fuzz in a simple four-pedal chain. What am I doing wrong??
Yeah, for sure. I have a very straightforward four-pedal chain, and the Behringer had an audio drop wherever I placed it. I tried a number of budget-priced pedals after posting this, and they all had the same issue. A friend of mine who has a Dano Tuna Melt uses it in tandem with a compressor pedal, and he says that helps. I ended up cutting my losses and going for a pedal with a distinct gain knob. The Behringer is still really good for making a cheap keyboard sound more interesting imo.
This is actually just a perceived volume drop, but the human ear is wired like that. That's why good Tremolo pedals have a volume knob. Sometimes there is an internal control. Still hoping for Boss releasing a WAZA version with a proper volume control.
Great demo, straightforward and to the point. Around 4:50 it sounds like the UT100 has a sharper attack, ie. quicker ramp to max volume even at same pulse rate, I think in this case the ut100 sounds better, snappier, of course, all depends what one wants.
To my ears, in this comparison both seem to have a comparable value range, give or take +/-. But as much as I like Boss pedals, I really wanted the Boss TR2 to sound better than the Behringer UT100... I hate to admit it, but the Boss TR2 sounds like its a Tone Sucker compared to the Behringer UT100... I'll have pay a visit to the Behringer UT100
I'm listening and not liking the Boss at all. I'm sure one can do better than either of these but for the price the Behringer seems pretty good overall. I would like to find something better than these two though, ultimately.
People are talking about reliability so here is my unsolicited opinion. Nobody has ever broken a behringer case. You can't find any images if you search Google or any other big search engine. If anything breaks, it will be the pots and you are in trouble either way because the parts are hard to find. Good luck finding official boss parts especially during the pandemic . Behringer is $20 to replace the pedal while boss is $100 to replace or more. I am not factoring used prices as they change with availability and vary by which country you are in. Both serve the same purpose but boss looks and feels better. Being made out of metal or plastic is irrelevant for durability unless you plan on running it over with your car.
Sound comparison on youtube is hard because of the compression, but the Boss in fact sounds a bit dull compared to the Behringer. That one does not sound much cheaper and for those who go for the Boss because of the metal case, you need to give a Behringer pedal a lot of violence to break it. You might do a beserk stomp on an overdrive or distortion but usually not on modulation effects. What bothers me more than the plastic case is Behringers patent for the battery case which is a pain in the ass. But I'll get a used one for 15 bucks anyway..
Behringer is the greatest clone company of all time. I don't know if it's true but someone was saying that Behringer makes the circuit boards and internals for certain Boss, Ibanez and MXR pedals and makes clones of them, having the exact same parts in the first place.
I’m going with Boss...nothing against Behringer I have a TS800 and it still works even though it’s held together with duct tape (that’s another story)...the Boss IMHO just sounds better, it’s built like a tank and will survive the next ice age...it’s been on my pedalboard for years...
Those really subtle knob tweaks make so much difference in tremolo.... I think you'd have to take a bit more time to dial them in to be more directly comparable settings. Just barely touch a couple knobs and everything feels quite different on a tremolo. These are more similar than they sound in a lot of the examples here. It is the same chip.....I don't think they sound100% identical.... But really really close.
Have you had the chance to try the Choka Tremolo from TC. It seems some TC's are redesigned Behringer. The Behringer/Boss seems well regarded, but the Choka gets called 'choppy'. Is it just pedal snobbery and just the same pedal do you think?
The Behringer sucks. I bought one hoping it would do the trick, but it has no subtlety. It always sounds choppy compared to the boss. Great video though!
thanks, boss smashes this comparison. I'm glad so many people here will buy the Behringer because of price, this means for 50 bucks I can sound way better than them. Beautiful
I would agree it doesn't sound that musical. However it sounds better than my Caline tremolo pedal which does not sound musical at all unless you put an autowah in front of it.
I’ve had the same pedal (Behringer UT100) for about 3 years and it’s tough as nails - even though it is plastic. I also have 2 other Behringer pedals and they have held up fine.
I think the Boss sounds really dull. As far as the crapping out, it's possible. I've had a few made in China cheap pedals and a few of them have crapped out and I've had to get them replaced by Amazon.

I am goin for the Behringer.
I saw the price too haha.
But its good enough for me.
I think the Behringer for a 1/4 of the price. to me sounds not only just as good but has more dynamics.
rick lavigne behringer break ridiculously easy thou. I would buy the boss 2hand.

Thanks Billy! :)
Both sound good for different reasons, the ultra seems faster and chopier than the boss, the boss its very smooth even on full square wave
The depth control it’s more sensitive, but you can get the same sound from both.
6:15 omg the song start!!
Fantastic quality comparison, great job

If only the Behringer didn't look so ugly. Sounds great, though.

Great vid, try the Behringer TP300 Ultra Tremolo/Pan it trumps both of them, hands down.
How do you get such a clean sound? When I use mine there is always background hiss
Raven Evans are you daisy chaining?
@@gloryxkid yes
Behringer is the greatest clone company of all time.
I don't know if it's true but someone was saying that Behringer makes the circuit boards and internals for certain Boss, Ibanez and MXR pedals and makes clones of them, having the exact same parts in the first place.
TR 2 sounds more classic. This is What a want in a tremolo pedal. Cheers!
do you have tab ?
Huge difference in tone! The Boss sounds much fuller and rounder.
обе говно
@@сыниллюзий Huge difference in tone? Are you superman?? WTF
I think the Boss sounds really dull.
The Boss sounds far more musically to me but maybe in a band context in a full mix the behringer does it 's job.
Boss pedals last a lifetime. Cheap pedals can be a false economy, but mean that anybody can get the effects they need
Q Tips Wallet yes behringer pedals are ok but the electronics used in these pedals aint gonna last as long as boss.
I’m going with Boss...nothing against Behringer I have a TS800 and it still works even though it’s held together with duct tape (that’s another story)...the Boss IMHO just sounds better, it’s built like a tank and will survive the next ice age...it’s been on my pedalboard for years...
i prefer the boss but not enough to replace my behringer, when my behringer breaks ill probably replace it with the boss

Is there any volume loss in boss?
thebetterdad no
Yes, I have the tr2 and I can listen the loss of volume
Behringer is a better tremolo, boss suck too much and is too rounded.. Some like it that way but behringer has more range
The Behringer sucks. I bought one hoping it would do the trick, but it has no subtlety. It always sounds choppy compared to the boss. Great video though!
thanks, boss smashes this comparison. I'm glad so many people here will buy the Behringer because of price, this means for 50 bucks I can sound way better than them. Beautiful
Wtf man hahaha
Boss is more versatile and sensible
Boss
Behringer sounds very better
The Behringer is good in every aspect except the musical quality of the sounds it produces. Sounds like a kid’s toy.
I would agree it doesn't sound that musical. However it sounds better than my Caline tremolo pedal which does not sound musical at all unless you put an autowah in front of it.
Boss to my ears sounds better, but you can’t really go wrong with the behringer
Fuckin love listening to nothing but your power supply freaking out
The Behringer tremolo is good but...is made out of plastic,is kind of fragile
I’ve had the same pedal (Behringer UT100) for about 3 years and it’s tough as nails - even though it is plastic. I also have 2 other Behringer pedals and they have held up fine.
They sound exactly
The
Same
Same circuitry
Duh
Lol
Joshua Turrubiartes nah Behringer sounds much better
even the same pedal from the same maker will have variance from unit to unit, just the nature of analog. cheers!
Call me a tone snob but the boss wins clearly. Plus you know it will last for years. Only a matter of time till the behringer farts out
I think the Boss sounds really dull. As far as the crapping out, it's possible. I've had a few made in China cheap pedals and a few of them have crapped out and I've had to get them replaced by Amazon.
