I’ve owned and gigged with Behringer pedals for YEARS. Their performance is good, consistent, and usually based on a popular original pedal. The complaint that they aren’t durable is unfounded. The cases are constructed from ABS plastic just like the bumper covers on most cars. They are cheap, sound good, last forever, and are not a big financial loss if they are lost, stolen, or drenched with beer. I own more expensive pedals that don’t sound any better than the Behringers, and in some cases I leave my coveted vintage pedals at home and gig with the Behringers.
I agree. They have never failed me w countless sessions and a fair amount of gigs. The vintage delay and Fuzz have been a staple on my board. The fuzz has a great boost function setting that can hang w any katana boost or boutique boost pedal. Knobs are always solid and have a quality feel to them. I can’t believe folks will complain about a $19-$40 pedal. Keep it up behringer
Car bumpers are TPO Polypropylene,talc and TPE
@@Chemist1076 Per Wikipedia article Bumper (car), Bumpers of most modern automobiles have been made of a combination of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) called PC/ABS. In any case, it’s only worth mentioning because Behringer pedals ARE durable, in spite of the misconception that “plastic pedals break easily”. Let’s just agree on that.
Lego is made of ABS. And if the case breaks, a simple Hammond Alu case is 10 bucks.
@@sleepymarauder4178 or for the price pick up 2 pedals and just swap them out if one dies for next to nothing
I really enjoyed JHS's history on Behringer pedals. He really explains well, for us mere hobby musicians, how so many of the circuits are near identical to the name brands. The only real difference comes with the cheaper plastic construction.
So if we can swallow our egos and ignore the name brands we can fret really good sound for a lot less money. At least, that's the lesson I learned.
If you're ok with a soldering iron & don't mind doing the work you can buy a pedal enclosure from someone like Stewmac.
They have them starting at around USD$13 at the moment. Strong steel boxes.
We?
@@AhtoNajeebRashied a LOT of guitarists are wayyyyy too concerned about showing off how expensive or hard to get their gear is. So yeah, using "we" was appropriate there.
Yes...JHS dude's deadpan face when comparing his black label $1k Tubescreamer to the Behringer was epic.amd hilarious. That was a grear video. Also, Cody Jung does an all-behringer country video, it's awesome
It's great that a beginner doesn't have to spend a fortune on pedals anymore. Even for someone who just plays for fun, like me, and not professionally, they're awesome!👍😎🎸🎶
Cheer up Behringer own TC Electronic and they are gradually bring out small but pedals made of Steel that have sounds that rival anything in the $200 to $250 range for $60. It is the same idea but on the next level of budget.
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing cool!👍😎🎸🎶
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing Cool! :)
@74dart man You said "Even for someone who just plays for fun..." I'd say "Especially for someone who just plays for fun..." I mean, if you're a professional musician, it makes sense that you would be willing to spend more money for a piece of gear that you're confident isn't going to break in the middle of a gig. But, if the only "gig" you have is playing in your living room through your practice amp, and your delay pedal suddenly stops working... big deal! In the meantime, you've saved hundreds of dollars by buying a bunch of inexpensive pedals. Sounds like a "win" to me! :-)
@@SeaDrive300 yep, I agree!👍😎🎸🎶
I own that Vintage Delay for years and so far it lasted longer than my previous more expensive delay pedals..... and it sounds good too ;-)
Everyone talks trash about them because they are plastic. I have had the EQ700 on my board for well over a decade, it has outlasted several "good pedals".
mine didnt work. returning.
@@daddyosink4413
My compressor added a fairly large amount of noise into the signal chain. For the price it was probably acceptable, but I just couldn't deal with it anymore and bought a Fender comp. That's much better, and I'll give the Behringer to a kid I know who's just getting started out who doesn't have any pedals yet.
@@Bagledog5000 some of them are a little hissy, or used to be.... thanks for saving me the headache, was actually thinking about a compressor recently. Looks like it will be of a Chinese micro variety.
We're in the era where you can get great tone for almost nothing. Namebrand products are now only relevant for their collectibility, the heritage, as status symbols, and in some cases, better durability and finishing. But tone, that's dirt cheap.
Foreal. You just gotta know where to look and know how to toy around with your pedals to get the right tone.
Have the Compressor/Sustainer and Ultra Metal. Waiting on the Ultra Chorus to come in stock. Absolutely love these pedals! Just a middle aged gal playing in the living room, so not really concerned with stepping too hard on them 😂
Yes i agree, i am just playing in the homestead and use theit tube amp modeler with a fender champion 100w. It's a great pedal for home use.
Deanna Fisher The best thing about your post is that you’re a middle aged woman (not sure how old that is these days) playing with a Compressor and an Ultra Metal pedal. How cool is that?
Important point to learn how to dial in preferred tones. The Behringer pedals appear to be a great option for those on a budget or just want to see if a certain type of pedal can be useful for them.
exactly... i am still learning what i like effectswise, so between these and the cheap tc ones, i have build quite a big pedalboard, with most of the effects. I think I will thin down and upgrade my pedals eventually
Best explanation/demonstration of what a compressor does I have seen. Time to take the Joyo off my shelf and give it another go.
I just wanted to thank you, I have that exact compression pedal and I was really struggling on setting it up right. No fault of the pedal I hasten to add, I just apparently suck at dialing in compression. The settings you showed on yours in this video really helped me out and it adds a really lovely texture to my tone. So, thank you very much!
This is the exact review I was looking for. Thank you very much, these pedals seem pretty good
I own the berhinger equalizer pedal and it's held up for a few years now and you can definitely find it useful. Great explanation of uses of these pedals.
When it comes to sound trust your ears not your eyes
We should, but we don't. I'm pretty sure that SG sounded better because of that sweet burst finish 😁🎸
Yup, even behringer's logo tells us to trust our ears lol 🎸🎶👂🏻
Simple but so true.
The make such a satisfying crunch when stepped on lol
Tremolo kicks on and we hit one headlight. 😉
Keep on rocking Phil!
The cheaper vintage style tc electronics pedals are basically metal boxed behringer pedals. I've had a few behringer pedals for over 10 years, although the plastic feels cheap they've never broke. Still got a few plastic arion pedals from the 90s going strong too.
Great Vid Phil !! I’ve been using a TO - 800 for some years now for Rehearsals and some Gigs and have never had a problem. Yes, the pedal is heavy duty plastic but I’ve really put my foot into it quite a few times and it seems to hold up well! Works really well for Rehearsals, just through it in your case and go! Thank man and Cheers from Salem, Ohio.
Price doesn’t necessarily mean good or bad . It’s always a personal preference.
There is not a plastic tone. They sound good. They cut cost using plastic. The tube screamer and big muff clones are very low noise even more than the OG because they cut cost using small SMD parts. SMD should be the standard but golden ears hates them.
@@ot4kon only bother I have with smd is they are a pita to repair for the hobbyist.
@@souralba2727 and mod
I bought seven of them last month. So far, I have received five of the seven. I got all the ones here except no reverb - I went for a noise reducer instead. I lined them up with EQ on the front end. So far, it’s been a lot of fun. I’ll soon receive the last two, one of which should be a compressor limiter. It’s a fun set of pedals for a home studio. I am not a gigging musician. At this price, it’s a good opportunity to try some different effects and signal chain ideas. Great service from Sweetwater.
What about "you get what you pay for"?
Behringer makes good stuff. Most of these pedals have true oldschool analog circuits.
Best bang for ur buck. And some have pass thru .
@@ErebosGR that was in the past, yes.. ..Behringer has been killing it lately in the synth dept.
@@ErebosGR yeah, if you are touring and putting heavy stress on them, I would go for the Boss versions. For most people here, who play at home or gig occasionally, these will suffice.
the behringer to800 has a similar TS808 chip right?
@@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial yes its an exact copy
Nice video. I built my first pedal board from a selection of these Behringer pedals. At ~$20 each, you can't beat them as a way to provide affordable options, and to let you experiment with effects.
That review was so good and honest' about the entire 'effect picture', these are now definitely on the 'Common Sense' Radar!🎼 Thank you very much!🎸
I think this guys knows his gear 😏
I definitely learned so cool tricks from this demo.
Awesome! I've been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned them!
Thanks for the info! You really cleared up the compressor for me, I've watched several videos but was never 100% sure how it works especially with distortion.... most videos are for clean
Great video Phil - I enjoyed it. It's always nice to see something reviewed that literally anyone can afford. I have owned 3 Behringer pedals. The TO800 is spectacular. I stupidly gave it away to a buddies daughter as she wanted to get into distortion a bit. I had an Ibanez tube screamer mini already as a replacement. No comparison - the Behringer's tone was so much better. This is probably because the mini is a TS9 while the TO800 is based on a TS808, but I thought they'd be close enough. Nope. My takeaway from this is that Behringer can make a GREAT pedal. I also have the Noise Reducer NR300. When I had a noisy pedal chain I used it and it worked OK I guess. I wasn't crazy about what it did to my dynamics, but I think that could be a function of noise gates in general. It was fine. The 3rd pedal I have is a Super Fuzz. It's pretty good - you can get some great doom sounds - I like it. Or at least I did until it just died on me after a few weeks. All of a sudden my amp started giving off odd popping noises, and the pedal was toast. I'm on a waiting list for the replacement to come in - it was under warranty. But that shows me that they can make a clunker too. My final take? Buy them. They sound good. If they fail, replace them. If you gig? Have a backup.
Thanks Phil. I appreciate your review of these affordable pedals. They are consistently good, aside from the variance in finding the sweet spot as you adjust the knob position. Once you get familiar with them, it becomes less an issue. I have a few Behringer pedals myself that I use. Josh from JHS also did an extensive review last year of the entire line. While I am not a fan of how the battery needs to be changed out, these are a tremendous value. I never was a big pedal-guy, but these caused me to give pedals a try and I learned a lot along the way.
Great demo and some wallflowers with the tremolo 🙌🙌
I agree man , the EQ pedal in general is a golden piece you can get so much out of these things !
I once incorrectly modded a Behringer phaser and sent it 18 volts, it certainly fried something as the phaser no longer swept but everything else still worked. So it quickly became one of the best boost pedals I've ever used, it was pretty cool being able to set the phase by adjusting the depth even if it no longer swept, basically turned it into a tone knob and the mix as a volume boost.
SF-300 Super Fuzz (Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz clone) is one of the best fuzz pedals I have played. But if you take it to the road, you need to treat them gently (pots and on/off switch).
Awesome video man, very informative and genuinely delivered 😍
Man, youtube was keeping you hidden from my feed for a LONG time. Glad to see you are still out here shreddin it up Phil!
Woah that's cool how you made those Humbuckers sound like single coils! I learned something new today thanks.
Great guitar to test these pedals out with. Good call man.
I bought the boss eq pedal JUST because of you! Revolutionized my use of dirt pedals.
Behringer EQ is $30 here in Australia, Boss GE-7 is $160-180. You can get 3 Behringers for the price of one 2nd-hand Boss unit.
I use Behringer pedals on my pedal board. I have the ultra metal, tube distortion, noise reducer, ultra chorus, ultra octaver, ultra tremolo, analog delay and the ultra vibrato. There are still some I want like the reverb, heavy distortion, super fuzz and the reverb. I just can’t afford anything. Living on disability doesn’t allow for much but I got the ones I have new before I ran into some problems called life that are keeping me down.
I like my Behringer pedals a lot, the plastic bottoms are what worry me a little bit on longevity but the pedals are great once you get them dialed in.
How’s their gate? I like that it can do the four cable method through the loop just wondering if you’d recommend it.
For the price and for the way it works for me yeah I’d recommend it.
@@GuitarMooseMusic cool thanks I’m ordering it at 19 bucks I don’t think I can loose.
@@BA99253 yeah it’s hard to beat at that price and I had a lot of hiss and feedback it helped a ton. Once I got my pedalboard dialed in more it has less work to do.
Just based on this video alone it seems that in terms of effects, as long as you’re pushing it through a solid amp, you can really pull some great tones. I’m really impressed with what I heard here. I’ve always been a catch all guy. Just used a crappy spider iii when I was learning (10-18). Stopped playing altogether while I was in college and when I got back into it, picked up a Kemper. The more I learn about gear in particular the more I’m realizing that it truly “is what you make it”. Currently I’m running a Quad Cortex and an HX Effects side by side and I love it, but it really is cool that someone can get good sound these days and not have to break the bank to get them. Super cool video!
How can I thank you enough? I had that compressor sustainer for two years. Never played with that "level" nob. Today I got a dream tone from my setup!
Excellent excellent excellent run down on the EQ! SO many players need to understand the power an EQ pedal gives you. What a great cheap way to start putting it into practice, especially as BOSS GE-7s have gone thru the ROOF price wise. Used to be able to get them for $50 no problem.
as a behringer starter pack i would strongly recommend any of the distortion pedals, they are all good. i didn't like the compressor it killed my volume and tone but thats just my experience. the chorus was good and the reverbs are great. the delay was a bit too much. but hey when i bought these pedals they were $25 online so i never expect studio quality
I’ve seen that SG on your wall, and waited for you to play it. Finally
I added a few Behringer pedals to my board recently and have to say I love them. Might have to add the reverb to mix it with the reverb on my Fender Mustang II amp. Aiming that Jeff Buckley sound.
Love your channel and thanks for this video, I just received my Vintage tube OD, Vintage delay and their octaver and I'm waiting for my Graphic EQ that's on backorder, from Clearwater. I already have a Microverb 1 but I did find the compressor/sustainer interesting enough to try one out, for $19.00 + free shipping I can't build any of those pedals for the price. Now I have an idea of what they should sound like and will put them though the test, tonight. Again, thanks
cool video. I really liked the One Headlight jam, it sounded good
Fun vid as always Phil!
These are pretty popular in my country (Chile). They are pretty inexpensive and you can find them anywhere, so a bunch of them are still lurking around in hardware stores and small businesses.
Loved you tossing in the channels theme there 😉
Off topic but just received your Know Your Gear Gold Top Tee. Love ❤️ it. Let’s see how many comments I get from it. Thanks, Stu from Memphis TN. I have an old Korg A-4 analog pedal board and a CryBaby Wah that I think I’ll add the berhinger equalizer pedal to the mix and see what happens! Always searching for a unique sound and feel.. Thanks Phil.
Thank you Stu
Awesome video Phil!
I have had the PB100 preamp boost from when it 1st came out in the UK. Gigged it as my Solo Boost pedal for over 10 years into a 100watt stack and loved it. Also works well into a 5w tube amp to add some sparkle. Only now has the footswitch started failing. This thing has been stamped on a lot !!
Love your guitar playing almost as much as those pedals!
Great playing Phil!!
Phillip, thank you so much for this video. Years ago I opted for acoustic because all the gear that I would need to know for electric was intimidating. I still find myself befuddled as to what peddle does what and where do I start. Your short video addressed all my questions and concerns and I now feel the desire to purchase my first pedal ( which will probably be a EQ, maybe Behringer or maybe a used Boss). These Behringers are definitely the right price for someone like me to quickly build a collection and to start experimenting and learning. I think that is the best way to KNOW YOUR GEAR! Best regards
Buddy gear is just stuff. Get yourself a used squier and a cheap amp. If you enjoy it then get a super champ x2 (poor mans super reverb). Don’t sweat the gear. Sweat the technique;)
Ken, buy the T0800 and Super Fuzz too.
@@richatlsomm833 Thanks Rich, I have a no-name strat style and a decent amp, so I’ll look into the Super Champ 2
@@FretLevelMidnight Thanks FLM, I’ll check those out, as well
I've used behringer pedals for 15+ish years! Never had an issue! Love um! Thanks and at an affordable price!
I was pleasantly surprised with Behringer!
That is a very nice SG.
Behringer pedals have the exact same circuit of Boss….. hence they are amazing. Sound amazing. And super affordable. Cheers
@Axlerod Horowitz Maxon and Ibanez make the Tube Screemer, not Boss.
Not sure that they'd get the chip from the early boss delay Which is very desirable.
Great Review on these affordable pedals.....You Rock my friend 👍🏻🤘
I was already sold on the VTO when another RUclipsr put it next to a TS9 using the same settings and side-by-side there wasn't much any difference at all so SRV tones could almost easily coaxed from this pedal... oh and he played an actual '59 Strat too!
Very informative... are you going to review the Donner effects pedals too?
Thanks man, great video. I just burned a $100 before the video was even done!
6:26 "If you don't need any pedals *manic laughter*"
Jokes aside, cool vid! Another proof that these things sound just as good as pedals that cost ten times as much
I'm currently using the Behringer Tube Overdrive as part of my quad overdrive pedal board that I recently built. as it really gives the RP 50, Ibanez TS9 DX Turbo, and even the ROD 881 the much needed punch that they need, the ROD 881 by Maxon also has a boost and even a noise gate.
The SF300 Super Fuzz might be the only pedal in this lineup that you can't really find a decent priced alternative. HyperFuzz used $300+, other clones $200, Behringer $20. If someone made a sturdy case clone for under $100, I would buy that in a second. Surprised EHX hasn't done this yet. But as it is, the SF300 is one of my favorite pedals on my board.
just picked one up recently, perfect for doom metal. fantastic pedal 🤘🏼🤘🏼
What you’re saying about the fragility of the Behringers is absolutely an issue. I used an ADI acoustic preamp (SansAmp knockoff) for a number of years, and the enclosure started showing cracks. And I only play in church. And the pedal is always on. I can’t find one with as good an overdrive sound for acoustic, though.
I saw these on another show a month ago and bit on price alone. I got the green tube screamer. It was sent from Sweetwater the next day with no shipping cost so the total was under $20 as advertised. Playing in the million man couch potato band, these are perfect.
Bass player here. I love the BDI21 analog amp modeler. The sound is really great. My only quibble is the DI output is very low and has been a complaint of sound guys. "I can't see your signal!".
I've read reviews that indicate that its inspiration, SansAmp, also suffered from that low DI output.
My church used a Behringer PA system. I got a Behringer multi effects processor as a birthday gift years ago and a delay pedal last Christmas. All 3 of my experiences with Behringer have had problems. I've basically boycotted them as an option for myself. I'm glad your experience has been much better than mine. I'm almost exclusively a Boss pedal guy now.
I love what ya said about playing the compressor then turning it off
That delay, screamer, compression combo sounds awesome. Behringer is legit.
My favorite pedal of all time is the Danlectro FAB metal. Fun, cheap, and can go from rat to metal zone real quick
Also if you ever need a babysitter for the green tele (HH) I’m your man
I've had that digital reverb pedal for ages. It's still going strong and sounds great, imo. the other Behringer that I really like is the big muff clone called the "vintage distortion."
Im lucky enough to have the ‘Echo Machine’. What a pedal, its inspiring.
My favorite pedal Behringer is the OD - 100, spectacular, great, strong and versatile.
During the Berhinger buying frenzy I bought the EQ, Trem, chorus and octave. The only one that has stayed in my pedalboard is the EQ. I gave the rest to friends. They are great for the price but I wouldn’t really use many for a live gig.
They all sound good! 👍👍🎸😎
UC100 here. Right around the $20.00 mark over 10 years ago. Sounds good on it own or back in the day, feeding two amps.
I have a few pedals sitting in my closet collecting dust. I never had any use for them. I get all the sounds I need from my guitar and amp. I’ll have to start exploring a bit. I do have a looper I use to practice with but that’s it, so these might be a good place to start exploring without breaking the bank.!
Thanks for the information I have that compressor pedal I use it for slide 🎸 will checkout getting the EQ pedal from Sweetwater
The EQ Pedal is already sold out at Sweetwater - good job Phil!
I ordered mine last week and it was out of stock then too 😑. September is what they told me
@@Zoso7227 Yeah, a lot of gear is backordered or delayed right now. I waited 4 months to get my Behringer FX600 pedal.
Their "clones" of the HM2 and FZ3 are just as good as the originals
I have the hm and yeah it's almost identical to boss's hm
I have the super fuzz and the octave. Both sound great. I've been using the octave pedal at band practice for 2 years.
I have used some of the Behringer Pedals on my old Pedalbard, e.g. the Reverb and Delay and their take on the Dimension C Chorus. All of them sounded great -especially for Live-use-. Don't know what people might do to them to destroy them. For me they where as durable as the Originals.
Dude in video says "jump on it". I guess this is his method of switching them on/off, probably unaware of the push/push action. I'm a bit bewildered by his reference to durability, it's like he uses them like a football or something to make them break. As if Behringer never test their cases for that.
Overall, a some share of snobism, it's like these pedals are beneath him.
I have a few of these I bought several years ago when they came out. I use them for effects I don’t use often enough to buy a high end pedal for. I’ve had them on my board for a few years now and they’ve held up very well. I have a tremolo and a Slow Gear copy for example I may use on one song during a show so they’re not getting stomped a lot. The Slow Gear (I cant remember what they call theirs) is great considering real ones have gotten stupid expensive.
Great video. I was thinking about picking up their noise gate pedal. The price is tempting, but not sure if the quality is there.
Great review. Nice wallflowers reference
They all sounded "pretty" good. I like how you used the Eq and Compressor. The eq sounded particularly nice. How does it compare to a Danelecro Fish and chips?
I've been holding off on buying the overdrive but now I'll order it.
With the pricing down I was hesitant.
I do have 2 behringer pedals (octaver & delay and I like them)
Thanks Phil. I can finally open my 11 boxes. 😂 Maybe I’ll make a video unboxing them. You Rock 👍🤘
Behringer, the Kia of audio equipment
Recently just purchased Behringer EQ pedal n run it in the FX loop, such an underrated and powerful tone shaping pedal, its hard to go wrong for 20euro 🤘🏼
Remember they are almost 1to1 copies of the listed counterparts because behringer bought the rights of the internal schematics so they will sound very close just built to be budget pedals. The reverb has been on my gigging board for years without any problems at all. The tube screamer is also a fantastic sounding pedal that I use to boost my klon and does it very well.
The vintage delay is a good sounding pedal, in the realm of the original analog delay pedals. Not much delay time, rolls the high end off the repeats, and it's a little noisy - but it definitely catches that vibe and sound. I don't use mine very often (lol) but it is an interesting pedal.
Wow Philip that SG is just beautiful
I've been using a TO100 for a boost pedal for years, although these are plastic it has been very durable. I bought 3 thinking I'd need to replace it sooner but still have the backups in boxes.
I own a bunch of these, they are all amazing
I agree m anybody who says different is a baffoon.
I've owned the Vintage Delay. It was great. I didn't much like the other Behringer pedals I tried, but loved the Delay.
That guitar sounds incredible
Have eight on my hobby player board. No noise, no problem, sound good to me.. Plastic, yes; delicate, no.
Nice vid I recently gotten the ultra chorus and ultra vibrato pedals they absolutely sound awesomely great I would recommend them
My EQ 700 just arrived and it is fantastic for the price. Sounds great for any price.
