Their pedals are just fine. Never seen anyone hype them up more than they deserve. I have seen some of the harder to get hold of ones go for more than new price on eBay, which while being mad, it goes to show they are well thought of. Their reverb pedal for instance is fantastic. They are for 2 types of people, those that maybe can’t afford the real thing and those that realise we’ve been getting ripped off for years by pedal makers!
@@NubsWithGuns there are several like their hi band flanger and blues overdrive that are getting hard to find; next time you want to use the Kool-Aid insult at least check to see if the other person is wrong before you make yourself sound like an idiot
@@NubsWithGuns Sometimes, no matter who makes them, a pedal takes off. Whether it be because they imitate perfectly at a small price or because they bring something new to the table. It happens. They disappear and reappear with a more gross price.
@@aidanknox2430you're the one who sounds like an idiot, those kind of people who can't deal with diferent opinions. Soo glad that you're not the presiden. Btw, visit a doctor or buy a new pair of ears, it will save you money in the future.
Stop being a pedal snob. I have some. Very pricey pedals and quite a few Berlinger pedals. All of my Berlinger are fine. Berlinger's analog pedals are good. The digital ones are hit and miss. Try using a noise gate dude.
I bought a few of them just to play around with at home. I was VERY surprised how good they were 🤷🏼♂️. Especially the tube screamer copy. I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the Ibanez tube screamer. The classic delay was really good too. I’ve always been a “ get what you pay for” kind of guy but the pedals performed way beyond what I expected for 20 bucks.
There is a very good review on the JHS pedals channel, about Behringer clones compared side by side with the originals they copied. Especially with the tube screamer the Behringer version sounds better than the Ibanez and all that for like under $20. There are also 2-3 pedals wher the Behringer clone puts i.e. Boss to shame. I mean it's a no brainer. OK, it's a clone. Kudos to the original designer. Fine, we get it! But please stop bashing Behringer. It's all in the sound and our ears. If you like what you hear then who's gonna tell me the Behringer is ...unusable like this werke moron.
the analogue behringer pedals are literal 1 for 1 copies. same circuit, same electronics, just different housing and knobs. cause the circuit and electronics inside of those pedals, can't be trademarked or copyrighted due to the circuits being so simple. with digital pedals, there's coding involved that is intelectual property of the original manufacturer, how beringer gets around that is by reverse engineering the code. they look how the original pedal behaves, and then write code for their reproduction pedal to mimic that behaviour. in the digital pedals, they get really close, but not quite the same. all the analogue stuff, is one for one though.
I own 3 Behringer pedals and they all sound outstanding (at least as good as the original inspiration). The only reason they aren’t on my live board is because I play very aggressive music and the plastic housing does not seem like it would last long getting literally “stomped” by myself or our wandering vocalist when he’s running across a stage. I’ve never had issues with “internal noise”. Gear is a lie.
Same here, no problem with noise, etc, or whatever, however you will be surprised how resistant the "plastic housing" is. It's ABS and it is also widely used in the airplane manufacturing business. Granted if you put them on fire eventually they will deform or even melt while the metal housing will not. But aren't we being a little pedantic here?! And at around $20 each I'd buy two of each if they sound right to me.
I tried a lot of analog delays with different amps and guitars. Then i tried the behringer vintage delay and i tried not to like it because that would insult my fancy expensive pedals. But i actualy love it. Its my favorite. Huge. Warm. No weird noises. No problem with the enclosure. Gigged with it a lot. Same for compressor/limmiter CL9 and the ultra vibrato witch actualy makes my 'bypassed' sound better. They dont have to be an exact copy. Just sounds better than the ones theyre moddeled after. And about tonesuck.. i have experienced tonesuck with the most expensive pedals. Who cares. Some of the Behringers are amazing. Realy.
I have had so many peddles from so many manufactures some even from the 70's. I am not a peddle monster, I like my 100-watt Marshal and my 4 X 12 cabinet, maybe a delay and the heads reverb. However, I bought every Behringer peddle last month for between $20-25 each. I even bought their 12 peddle holding case, so maybe I spent $400.00. Out of all the peddles I think I had one that made noise, and two I didn't care for, so I sent them back. I am quite pleased with them, and I have been using them and changing positioning to see what sounds better and where. Personally, I think that you cannot go wrong for the money, and at 60 years old, I am more partial to the raw analog sound and even a little noise since I come from the days that music wasn't perfect. This guy up here, I don't know why he spent so much time crapping on a cheap product that does their job pretty well, when there is so many very expensive POS on the market he could talk about and save us a lot more money than a $20.00 peddle, or even a full box of them, with their peddle board, which is very nice by the way. P.S.-I just bought the Behringer 50-watt Amp Head, and I hate to say this especially to him, but I've been using it more than my Marshal, it sounds awesome and so cool looking!
I have to disagree, I bought ten peddles just to use at home. Every peddle is fine. I know they are plastic so I don't stamp on them. I have no noise from my peddles unless I use cheap guitars.
You first German huh? .... Bro. Lol. Just wait till you meet a German engineer machinist. Lmao. No love lost for Germans tho. It's the just that the kulture is very direkt and absolute. Totally, super fine kraftsman ship.
I 100% disagree. Your main point of noise never happens with several Behringer pedals I've had. They're crazy consistent. Think you're manifesting your problems. The Behringer fuzz is always on my board. Also, many people say they're worried about the plastic construction not being reliable with aggressive smashing but never anyone saying it actually was a problem. I stomp the shit out of mine and it doesn't break.
I agree. I use the TO800, UC200 and the VD400. All are relatively noiseless and have held up to 3 years live stage use. Plastic or not, they work fine for me. I'll get more. My rig is loud too, Super Crush 100 head through 8x12.
I don't agree. Bought two Behringer pedals this weekend and I'm impressed. Both work straight out the box and the price is incredible! Build quality is great. Just brilliant, entry level equipment! (I bought the Tube Screamer and Ultra Tremolo)
@@Safetysealed man, you don't have to smash them, just press with your foot; the sound is not any worse than many other Mxr, Boss or Ibanez... The only one brand that are less prone to failures is Boss... Ibanez, Maxon, Tc and Mxr are much likely to give problems like noise, broken switch or simply sound shitty for some reason.
While I respect your opinion (you seem like a thoughtful intelligent guy), you can't ignore the many responses you received below! I've actually collected nearly ALL of the Behringer pedals, 60 or so (there's one I can't find for the life of me), along with most of the Boss pedals they clone and am generally happy with the Behringers. I've set up stereo boards using a long chain of Behringers and it's been fine. I also own ALL of the Strymon line (not the V2's) and the Source Audio line, and other "biggies", so I'm not some newbie. I own over 300 pedals currently in my collection. I've been playing rock since the 70's. I'd buy my kid a set of Behringer pedals if he/she was starting out and I'm sure they'd be thrilled! I can't see them being used by the top rockers because there are obviously better options out there, but in a pinch…
In summary, your message is: "Behringer clones do not have the same quality as the originals" And where is the news? Why did you need 19mins of video to say that?
I have no dog in this fight, but, just thought I'd point out that boutique, and major manufacturers buy bucket brigade wiring FROM Behringer, and Behringer likewise uses that wiring in their pedals. In other words, you can pay more for a more sturdy pedal (above plastic), but, as far as the analog pedals goes, these are, for the most part, dead on copies of their expensive counterparts. Digital pedals, not so much. I see no reason to pay more, unless you're a collector of pedals. I don't buy pedals, nor collect them, but, if I were to buy pedals, I'd go with spending the least I had to to get me where I want to be. Sorry. I've got better things to spend my money on than a name.
I own around 30 Behringer pedals. They are awesome! It's so cool that us budget bedroom musicians don't have to pay $100+ for each pedal in 2023 from just a handful of companies charging an arm and a leg for the same sounds. There are so many budget pedal makers to choose from and some are even in metal cases with graphics and true bypass.
@@5weating_8ullets The 60 cycle hum channel have lots of videos of what he called "afford-a-board"pedals and they cover most of the brands that are affordable. I would check out those videos for starters. If you are a bedroom player like myself just look on youtube for demos and reviews and just buy what sounds good. The great thing with affordable pedals is that they are typically clones or slightly modified versions of tried and true circuits or sounds and if they end up not being great then you are only out $30. However it is worth mentioning that I have packed up my Behringer pedals and am using a used Line 6 Pod HD Pro X with the HD Fully Loaded model pack and it basically replaced all of my pedals into one incredible sounding box for a mere $300 on ebay + $100 for the model pack which is well worth the money. That unit is like nearly 10 years old and it just sounds amazing still. I'm amazed that amp modeling is so good now.
So, this guy has his problems with these pedals, but the overwhelming response in the comments is that the pedals are good. I am very much the amateur guitarist, but the pedals have worked for me. The plastic cases seem quite sturdy. I haven't noticed the pots being hard to turn. I really like the Behringer reverb pedal. Some of his complaints seem rather nebulous. Sorry, I still think the pedals have quite a lot of bang for the buck.
Stop telling me what to do! lmao I love behringer and always have so tuff cookies I will buy what I want and tell my honest opinions on all of them. They are just as good as any pedal
Basically saying they're not good without showing examples is not credible. People, watch reviews with sound examples so you can make an actual, informed decision.
I'm not "challenging" you, but I've watched about 20-25 videos and in 90% of them, the host didn't really "hype" the pedals per se, rather just gave an honest account of what was what, with the conclusion most often being that some of them are really good, some of them suck, and just pointed out the differences in them in build quality vs. the others. My experience so far has been great with the OD300 and the T808, they sound great and the build quality is fine as long as you don't go out of your way to abuse them. I did add little nuts to the input/output jacks, just for extra stability and durability, which cost me all of 50 cents.
So I am happy to be challenged because obviously what I post are my opinions only, fair enough I do only try to form an opinion once I know a bit about something but still... mistakes can be made. Also, I am happy if folks post good experiences with these pedals because it means they are happy with their product and haven't wasted their money. I unfortunately have not had that luxury :-)
These pedals are great..don't worry that they are plastic and all that stuff, if you're running over the pedals with a forklift, then you had a problem.
I have to politely disagree... The alternative 'cheap' Donner pedals you speak about can not be purchased down here in the never-never outback unless I am prepared to spend more on postage than the pedal price (because it has to come from the US). - Donner Micro Equalizer, 5 band EQ - AU $43 - postage = $52 for 1, $72 for 2, $92 for 3 etc ) 7-10 week delivery - Behringer EQ700, 7 band Bass EQ - AU $38 - Postage = $15 ( free postage for 2 or more ) 1 week delivery.. So, where you live affects the price. I just purchased 5 x Behringer pedals for use with my Synthesizers, so they fit my system at a perfect price. (total 5x for AU $190) I do DIY electronics & cases so I have no concerns about whether the case has gaps in the joins. What matters to me is that it gives me the sound I am after and at a price that I just cant ignore... Purity of sound is for the engineers and critics to argue over. I dont have time to critique noise, I've got music to make.. Rock on Mate. :) p.s. to hell with the "Brand Snobs".
Thanks for watching the vid and understanding my point and actually commenting with a real argument. If any of the Behringer pedals I purchased did not introduce a noise I would defo have kept and used some but that has not been my experience. I hope is also translated but I am not interested in brand names either, just something that works for me.
Maybe you just got unlucky and got some bad ones? I just put together a budget board made up of 6 behringer pedals (CL9, TO800, HD300, UV300, VD400 and DR600) and I don't have any signal noise issues from them.
The beauty of aluminium pedal cases is that as long as they are shielded properly they are essentially Faraday cages. I don't know how the Beringer pedals are shielded, but plastic cases surely make them more vulnerable to rfi/emi. If there is some flex in the plastic cases perhaps there can be stress on the components (not least the pcb). That said, I've seen plastic Behringer pedals on pro pedalboards, so I guess I'll have to buy a couple and see for myself.
I just play guitar, for all I care I get them, plug them, and most importantly; play the heck out of them!🎛🎸🤘🤘 got 5 so far and they cut the mustard pretty darn well 👍👍
I haven't taken them apart, but I think they can coat the plastic with cheap graphite paint in the same manner as when you shield the pickups when you build a strat.
Yup spend 5x more for the same circuit. The analog pedals are sonic clones of high end pedals. You just telling people to spend more money for same circuit
I have a couple Behringer pedals, their EQ pedal and their octave pedal. The octave pedal was an impulse purchase and I don’t use it much, but it does what it’s meant to and does it quite well. No unwanted noise or volume drop or anything like that. Their eq pedal has stayed on my board since I got it, and I am not one to keep a pedal on my board that gives me any issues. I’ve retired at least 3 pedals that used to be favorites of mine by other companies that introduced unwanted noise or signal issues or created volume drops and had no qualms with buying more expensive pedals that worked better to replace those. I have had none of the issue ls described in this video with my Behringer eq pedal. Maybe it comes down to quality control issues. That said, I don’t see myself spending more for a different eq pedal any time soon as long as this one keeps doing the job as well as it does without unwanted side effects. I don’t think the “hype” with Behringer is undeserved at all, I think Behringer has a good track record going and you can’t argue with with the dedicated following they have and how long their success with pedals has continued. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the vast majority of people using their pedals with nothing to gain from giving positive or negative reviews seem to enjoy them and find them to work just fine. But cheap pedals have come a long way and there certainly are other options these days, so Behringer is certainly not the only company offering quality pedals at affordable prices and it may pay off to try a few different pedals until you find the one you prefer.
I have a behringer SF300 (super fuzz), i use it on studio, live and practice. I traveled with it. It's always on my pedalboard. Never, and i mean NEVER had an issue with it, not a noise, not a "click", nothing at all, in fact it did surprised me that, it sound really loud yet there's no noise coming from the massive gain the pedal has. It's DEAD silent. The thing with behringer, is just what it is: they have really great affordable clones of pedals that are either discontinued, or stupidly expensive. Why would i go buy a nux fuzz (for example) if i can buy an exact clone of a Boss Hyper Fuzz for less the price? Because are made of plastic? that's a lame excuse tbh.
I don't entirely agree with this type of generalization. From my point of view, the Behringers are indeed low-cost copies that often sound less good (less "natural" to my ear), but there are sometimes very good surprises. I have several Tube screamer clones and the TO800 is ultimately my favorite (the one that best matches what I expect from a tube screamer). I bought a used Maxon 808 to replace it. It is undeniably better but it is not super obvious either .... so that in the end I always have the behringer - which does the job very well - on my pedalboard. I also recently buy a SF300 which I took for fun (I've never been too attracted to fuzz) given all the praise I've heard about it. Well what a surprise! Playing this pedal on crunched amp is really crazy. Last example, a friend of mine who plays bass in a metal band uses a Behringer distortion pedal (normally for guitar) which he activates on certain tracks. He likes this one because it gives a dirty sound that matches the vibe of these tracks well.
So much hate for different opinion of yours? And about what? Are you a Behringer employee?? No you are not. And red, Today you have better pedals did cheaper.
Sorry you had bad experience but my friends had em to bits and apart from case there identical especially the tube screamer he had a broken tube screamer put electrics in and worked as good as the rhythm guitarists so they are identical same as the chorus and eq pedal all electric elements were same chips same boards
I realize this is 2 years old but I have experience with two Behringer pedals - the chorus pedal and the noise gate pedal. I find the chorus pedal to be quite good and I use it in my Marshall’s effects loop. The noise gate was purchased as a cheap alternative to my BOSS NS-2, and I find it to be inferior. It’s ok maybe as a spare if someone at a gig needs one, but that’s about it.
The only negative thing I have to say about Behringer pedals is that they’ve stopped producing certain pedals like the Digital Delay and the Rotary Machine. The Vintage delay didn’t provide me with the results I wanted, so I tracked down the Digital Delay and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Behringer Digital Delay >>>> Behringer Analog Delay
!!! WTF Sounds like to me you are Comparing A Rolls Royce to a Volkswagen i have been using behringer Pedals for over 15 years all over the UK as Well as in Europe with my band and have found them reliable and have no complaints
I am glad you had that experience. This video is not about discouraging folks to use the pedals but to counter the encouragement of folks using them. Folks should buy what they want at the end of the day. I have used 4 (5) and they were all unusable. And I am not a brand snob, gear snob in any way.
@@KrachWerke I had a noisy overdrive using a power supply, went away using 9V batt. DC is cleaner, I suspect their AC to DC circuits bite, no filter. Drop a batt and see if it helps. It will serve to find root cause and give you a tech reason to explain why not to use.
The cheap TC electronic pedals would be a better alternative to the plastic Behringhers. TC electronic pedals are true bypass and has solid metal enclosures.
I got a few as testers, much as you'd get a mini paint pot tester before you buy the full 5 litres. For instance I have an Ultravibrato to stand in while I save for a VB-2 Waza - it's fine. I'll probably pass it on to a friend once I'm done with it. I've stopped Gassing now that I have a Zoom Multistomp which I'd agree much more useful as a cheap, compact all in one unit. I generally regard them as stocking fillers for teenage guitarists starting out.
I only have one Behringer pedal. It's the Ultra Chorus, a clone of the Boss Super Chorus. They sound exactly the same, side by side comparison with knobs on the same spot, and they are undistinguible.
It's more than 30 years that i am a digital rack mutieffect man, so since them were not so good sounding as today, even if other than cheap once, never had many stomp pedals, recently, for my curiosity, i wanted to try some of them without spend a lot of money, so Behringer gave me the chance, and i've found them good enough to taste stomps, even if i'll continue use my digital multieffects Zoom and old Roland
I TOTALLY DISAGREE..i have over 45 pedals from ALL makers, from £15 to £200 ..Behringer make some of the BEST sounding pedals around REGARDLESS of the price 🤷
I had a Behringer Chorus that was noisy when bypassed, like you described. The effect itself was fantastic, but because of the constant swooshing sound when bypassed made it unusable. Off my board it went.
They get the job done and I think they're great, never had a problem with it, never had noise, the only thing I wouldn't do is stopping on it at regular base, I put them in a switcher
Haha Behringer pedals sound absolutely fine! Its just the pedals build quality. Not a quality issue on performance. Get a behringer pedal and put its circuit board in a metal frame. Done!
i listened to you and i hear you. was about to buy their eq, phaser, and flanger. i think i'll keep shopping and reseaching. sounds like you were okay with donner brand? thanks for the video. going to look through your channel now.
This review is one man's opinion, please read the replies underneath from the rest of us. For next to no money these pedals are genuinely amazing, I own 12 pedals of which 4 are Beringer and they are a quality product, the reverb and ultra chorus are fantastic. The noise that he mentions neither I or anybody else in the comments have noticed and the "plastic" complaint is void... Yes they are plastic but so are construction site helmets and car parts, just keep this in mind. Anyway, don't let this one negative review stop you from trying a product which clearly many of us find to be fantastic, buy one and give it a try. 😉
Anybody saying they aren’t good are contrarians. I have multiple boutique pedals, choruses, reverbs, delays, you name it-along with some behringer. most of the behringer pedals especially the analog ones sound just like the real ones they are mimicking. The reverb pedals sound decent, quite different than the ones they’re imitating but anyone who says they don’t sound good are just gear collectors who aren’t actually using their gear to make music.
They are at least great for experimenting... if you want to try things out and consider using a pedal more frequently and on stage you are still open to buy the real deal... They are still the cheapest option in alot of warehouses online and offline. But I agree; My digital Multieffects still get more used; recording and on stage...
If something not like something else .Then it's something of it's own. so thats not a bad thing .I have Behringer vintage phaser and an ultra chorus that I am very happy with. I am in no way a gear snob and without Behringer my pedal board would be very sparce .
There's a few misses in their range, but most of the ones I've had, such as the screamer and the chorus are oustanding, and I appreciate that they make nice pedals that kids and beginners can afford.
Never had a problem, never had any weird noise, never had any wonky knobs. The analogue ones are bang on copies and you literally can't tell the difference, the digitals are a bit different though. Made me laugh when you mentioned the wonky knobs, I had a boss pedal that I lost all the knobs on, they fell off in transit from rehearsal and had to be replaced. For whatever reason you have a beef with Behringer, god knows why
where I live the tube screamer is $ 260 new and the berhinger (fantastic copy) is 40 $ (it`s plastic and feel solid and there is absolutly no noise problem with mine. Do you have some evidence about this weird noise problems ?
Nothing wrong with any of the Behringer pedals. I've just started out and can't afford £100's of pounds on a single pedal. The Behringers sound as good as most of the pedals they are based on at a fraction of the price. As for the fact you stated that they're 'unusable' well that's not true...
I've got Seymour Duncan SFX-08 Power Grid Distortion pedal, it was the noisiest pedal I ever played until I bought a proper power supply for it. So if your pedal makes hum, check its power source first. I own a plenty of Behringer pedals, they make no hum at all, because I'm using Behringer power supply with them.
I have 4 of them on my board. No problems. Sounds great. No noise. They have been there for 12 years on a gigging board. You mentioned Donner. I had their delay pedal. It lasted about a year and just quit working
no one is really hyping them though, most are merely expressing that they are great value for money for a beginner or for home use. i fee like you wasted twenty minutes of your life complaining about a total non issue.
I don’t agerat all. I have the vintage phaser and it sound way more expensive than it is. I also have the EQ pedal that i use as a clean boost and it sounds great. I’ve gigged with these pedals and they preformed just as good as my more expensive pedals. I havn’t noticed any tone sucking. The worst budget friendly pedals iv’e bought was from Tomsline, they where dissapointing.
The OD300 is a great pedal. I get tones and a playing response from them that I don't get from my other pedals. My other favorite pedals are some of my earthqaukers.
I have the tube screamer and the compressor I’d take my Ibanez or my mxr over that but the compressor is actually my cheapest and top two most used on my board serves it’s purpose well
Or move the microphone? Some people are noisy swallowers, this dude has great depth of analysis, but it's so challenging to listen to someone who is having such trouble with saliva!
Yeah... I bought my first behringer pedal a couple of days ago. It was the compressor/sustain... the hiss was crazy, on and off. I have to turn the attack down to like 30% in order to get rid of most of it, which kind of defeats the point. The cheaper kmise (Amazon basics) pedals don't have that noise as far as I've found so far. I picked up the analog delay, and it's been great. I think I'll get their compressor and see how it compares. I'm a poor, so I think I might just get the rest of the kmise pedals. It would still be cheaper than getting one quality brand pedal. Lol
After reading a bunch of these comments, it makes me wonder... did I just get a bad one or something? I feel like I'm the only one in the comments that agreed with you. Lol The hiss is real, I swear! Lol Maybe I'll try to send it back and get another??? At least then I could see if it was just a bad pedal. But I have a feeling it will be zero out of 2.
I've had just as many issues on and off with my boutique pedals as I have any of my cheap ones. Their 808 clone is great, I use it over my $150 808 clone... somewhat to my dismay. It's a $30 dollar pedal, they're not meant to be pro-level gear, they're meant to be cheap effect pedals that sound like more expensive pedals and they are just that.
I used them 15 years ago and considered them a starting point for getting into pedals and also not having much money it was a bargain. I used them for about a year and then got into Strymon and never looked back. PS Your right they are noisy.
Folks, this is a competitor of Behringer. I have a Behringer Overdrive, an Ibanez TS 808 and a Vertex Overdrive. Yes the Behringer isn't the same build quality of the Ibanez or Vertex but it's fine.
The comments in this video are all very negative to my message but most of them don't understand or have bothered to watch the video. I suggest that they are not hyped, not that they shouldn't be used or purchased. I have had nothing but bad experiences with them and think there are better options in the budget range like Mooer, NUX, Caline etc. So I am not sure how to answer your question, I personally would rather get the Caline EQ than the Behringer.
@@KrachWerke SO I found your funny brutal video were you throw the bass eq in the trash. How come you didn't present it's hiss? The power up noise alone, didn't justify the trash can: Pedal boards are always on. And on this video, where you want to support and clarify the older "EQ in trashcan video", you don't provide any evidence of what you claim, ...when this is what the medium of RUclips is all about: Showing what is talked about: Experience. I am not saying you 're lying but I couldn't blame anyone if he would. Thanks for the advice though. I will definitely check them out.
Talking of noise you remind me my ChaseBliss preamp mkii. When you add the mid/Q option it’s adding a level of noise that is just too much, especially if you want to use it as overdrive in a dirty CH. Too bad. Yesterday, I replicated tube screamer 808 and TS9. I lmao, it was too good but again, much noise compare to almost zero on the TS. Too bad. Using only the Benson preamp, it does what it’s supposed to do, I like germanium option too. Good for a vintage amp use or almost clean channel but at 1k$ it’s a big turn off. It can be a EQ at low gain though. The mid Q can be placed before Gain to boost it too or after. I’ll still keep the pedal. Great toy, It’s discontinued for lack of building components . Now life time warranty which it gives it values to my eyes. Ps.: I've to admit the noise issue in the chasebliss pre mkii occur with the mid -Q added pre-gain. Post gain is somehow acceptable.
I would recommend any of the Behringer pedals for anyone starting out. If you get the point where their downsides are actually hindering your playing or progresss then you are ready to invest in something a bit more specific and you're saving the pennies to get exactly what you want. You cannot seriously complain about the quality of the sound/electronics for the price. Do you think you average learner, or hobbyist is going to spend their cash on high quality hardware that costs at least £100+ per pedal or around £100 on three of four Behringer pedals? Most people can't tell the difference between the Behringer pedals and the pedal's they're copying. However, if you can tell the difference in how they sound whilst playing, then, as I mentioned, you probably already own the pedal you want. Let's not forget that a lot of your sound will also be defined by your guitar and amp.
They sound good to me, and in some cases they are better than the alternative. The ultra chorus is a clone of the Boss Ch-1 but its a clone of the old, very expensive analog version, rather than the new digital version that Boss make.
After buying trying a range Behringer guitar pedals, after JSH endowment, I can say the only pedal I'm impressed with is the Vintage Delay. The Chorus is unusable, the Heavy metal is unusable, The EQ is only good for cutting frequency not boosting, The compressor is terrible and mostly muddies the signal chain. Bar the Vintage Echo I will not use any of these in my signal chain.
I have 2 myself for my bass and they sound great. Know quite a few people, one a doctorate in music, that uses multiple ones as well for guitar. There's nothing wrong with these pedals especially at this price

Their pedals are just fine. Never seen anyone hype them up more than they deserve. I have seen some of the harder to get hold of ones go for more than new price on eBay, which while being mad, it goes to show they are well thought of. Their reverb pedal for instance is fantastic. They are for 2 types of people, those that maybe can’t afford the real thing and those that realise we’ve been getting ripped off for years by pedal makers!
@@NubsWithGuns there are several like their hi band flanger and blues overdrive that are getting hard to find; next time you want to use the Kool-Aid insult at least check to see if the other person is wrong before you make yourself sound like an idiot
@@NubsWithGuns Sometimes, no matter who makes them, a pedal takes off. Whether it be because they imitate perfectly at a small price or because they bring something new to the table. It happens. They disappear and reappear with a more gross price.
@@aidanknox2430you're the one who sounds like an idiot, those kind of people who can't deal with diferent opinions. Soo glad that you're not the presiden. Btw, visit a doctor or buy a new pair of ears, it will save you money in the future.
Stop being a pedal snob. I have some. Very pricey pedals and quite a few Berlinger pedals. All of my Berlinger are fine. Berlinger's analog pedals are good. The digital ones are hit and miss. Try using a noise gate dude.
I bought a few of them just to play around with at home. I was VERY surprised how good they were 🤷🏼♂️. Especially the tube screamer copy. I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the Ibanez tube screamer. The classic delay was really good too. I’ve always been a “ get what you pay for” kind of guy but the pedals performed way beyond what I expected for 20 bucks.
I've got 3, Ultra Metal, Classic Delay & Multi FX and can't find anything to complain about either. They work fine.
There is literally no difference in that one
Me too that tube screamer is just great period. And that vintage delay is pretty much the only delay most people will ever need.
There is a very good review on the JHS pedals channel, about Behringer clones compared side by side with the originals they copied. Especially with the tube screamer the Behringer version sounds better than the Ibanez and all that for like under $20. There are also 2-3 pedals wher the Behringer clone puts i.e. Boss to shame. I mean it's a no brainer. OK, it's a clone. Kudos to the original designer. Fine, we get it! But please stop bashing Behringer. It's all in the sound and our ears. If you like what you hear then who's gonna tell me the Behringer is ...unusable like this werke moron.
the analogue behringer pedals are literal 1 for 1 copies. same circuit, same electronics, just different housing and knobs. cause the circuit and electronics inside of those pedals, can't be trademarked or copyrighted due to the circuits being so simple.
with digital pedals, there's coding involved that is intelectual property of the original manufacturer, how beringer gets around that is by reverse engineering the code. they look how the original pedal behaves, and then write code for their reproduction pedal to mimic that behaviour. in the digital pedals, they get really close, but not quite the same. all the analogue stuff, is one for one though.
The circuits are really good and in some cases are sonically dead ringers of classic and highly sought after effects. Less snobbery more rock 💥
I own 3 Behringer pedals and they all sound outstanding (at least as good as the original inspiration). The only reason they aren’t on my live board is because I play very aggressive music and the plastic housing does not seem like it would last long getting literally “stomped” by myself or our wandering vocalist when he’s running across a stage. I’ve never had issues with “internal noise”.
Gear is a lie.
I own 3 and can't fault them & I've never had strange noises from them either. Good pedals.
Same here, no problem with noise, etc, or whatever, however you will be surprised how resistant the "plastic housing" is. It's ABS and it is also widely used in the airplane manufacturing business. Granted if you put them on fire eventually they will deform or even melt while the metal housing will not. But aren't we being a little pedantic here?! And at around $20 each I'd buy two of each if they sound right to me.
I tried a lot of analog delays with different amps and guitars. Then i tried the behringer vintage delay and i tried not to like it because that would insult my fancy expensive pedals. But i actualy love it. Its my favorite. Huge. Warm. No weird noises. No problem with the enclosure. Gigged with it a lot. Same for compressor/limmiter CL9 and the ultra vibrato witch actualy makes my 'bypassed' sound better. They dont have to be an exact copy. Just sounds better than the ones theyre moddeled after. And about tonesuck.. i have experienced tonesuck with the most expensive pedals. Who cares. Some of the Behringers are amazing. Realy.
same! finally after 10 years the switch broke (easy fix) but it was my most used effect!
@@mohhie i also love it. I used to have the boss mega delau which sounded harsh and robotic this one is much better.
I have a behringer tremolo and octaver on my board. I have experienced none of the issues talked about in this video. Ive been very happy with them
I have had so many peddles from so many manufactures some even from the 70's. I am not a peddle monster, I like my 100-watt Marshal and my 4 X 12 cabinet, maybe a delay and the heads reverb. However, I bought every Behringer peddle last month for between $20-25 each. I even bought their 12 peddle holding case, so maybe I spent $400.00. Out of all the peddles I think I had one that made noise, and two I didn't care for, so I sent them back. I am quite pleased with them, and I have been using them and changing positioning to see what sounds better and where. Personally, I think that you cannot go wrong for the money, and at 60 years old, I am more partial to the raw analog sound and even a little noise since I come from the days that music wasn't perfect. This guy up here, I don't know why he spent so much time crapping on a cheap product that does their job pretty well, when there is so many very expensive POS on the market he could talk about and save us a lot more money than a $20.00 peddle, or even a full box of them, with their peddle board, which is very nice by the way. P.S.-I just bought the Behringer 50-watt Amp Head, and I hate to say this especially to him, but I've been using it more than my Marshal, it sounds awesome and so cool looking!
I’m it’s you , this guys a cork sniffer
Totally agree!
Peddle
Was the octave one of the ones you sent back? That one is garbage imo.
super underrated effects
I have to disagree, I bought ten peddles just to use at home. Every peddle is fine. I know they are plastic so I don't stamp on them. I have no noise from my peddles unless I use cheap guitars.
HaHa! Just ordered a Behringer super fuzz. You encourage me no end!
Stop hyping??? They are the cheapest thing out there that get the job done stop whining about everything.

@@subixbarbarasson6052Maybe in future "made in GER" wont mean anything anymore... Sad...
I 100% disagree. Your main point of noise never happens with several Behringer pedals I've had. They're crazy consistent. Think you're manifesting your problems. The Behringer fuzz is always on my board. Also, many people say they're worried about the plastic construction not being reliable with aggressive smashing but never anyone saying it actually was a problem. I stomp the shit out of mine and it doesn't break.
Amen bro ,, I love my Barringer fuzz also its really nice ,, found new in box at pawn shop $25 ❤❤❤
I feel like if you're smashing the pedals, you're doing too much.
I have 4 Behringers that work just fine, no discernable noise, running through a Peavey Envoy 110, all sound great
Can you tell me which ones you have?
@@KrachWerke I have the TO800, UM300, TM300, and the VD400, I power them with a Hiree noise blocking power brick
I agree. I use the TO800, UC200 and the VD400. All are relatively noiseless and have held up to 3 years live stage use. Plastic or not, they work fine for me. I'll get more. My rig is loud too, Super Crush 100 head through 8x12.
I don't agree.
Bought two Behringer pedals this weekend and I'm impressed.
Both work straight out the box and the price is incredible! Build quality is great.
Just brilliant, entry level equipment!

@@Safetysealed man, you don't have to smash them, just press with your foot; the sound is not any worse than many other Mxr, Boss or Ibanez...

While I respect your opinion (you seem like a thoughtful intelligent guy), you can't ignore the many responses you received below! I've actually collected nearly ALL of the Behringer pedals, 60 or so (there's one I can't find for the life of me), along with most of the Boss pedals they clone and am generally happy with the Behringers. I've set up stereo boards using a long chain of Behringers and it's been fine. I also own ALL of the Strymon line (not the V2's) and the Source Audio line, and other "biggies", so I'm not some newbie. I own over 300 pedals currently in my collection. I've been playing rock since the 70's. I'd buy my kid a set of Behringer pedals if he/she was starting out and I'm sure they'd be thrilled! I can't see them being used by the top rockers because there are obviously better options out there, but in a pinch…
Right, much better too pay 400 or, 500 bucks for a grossly overpriced Stryman
Berhinger pedals are great. As good as any of my boss pedals. 5 for the price of one.
In summary, your message is:
"Behringer clones do not have the same quality as the originals"
And where is the news? Why did you need 19mins of video to say that?
He also said that they are noisy.... like 4 or 5 times
@@fernandorosa7144 They aren't though !!
I have 3 Behringer pedals and they sound amazing. Most videos promoting them do publish sound tests and comparisons.
I have no dog in this fight, but, just thought I'd point out that boutique, and major manufacturers buy bucket brigade wiring FROM Behringer, and Behringer likewise uses that wiring in their pedals.
In other words, you can pay more for a more sturdy pedal (above plastic), but, as far as the analog pedals goes, these are, for the most part, dead on copies of their expensive counterparts.
Digital pedals, not so much.
I see no reason to pay more, unless you're a collector of pedals. I don't buy pedals, nor collect them, but, if I were to buy pedals, I'd go with spending the least I had to to get me where I want to be.
Sorry. I've got better things to spend my money on than a name.
I own around 30 Behringer pedals. They are awesome! It's so cool that us budget bedroom musicians don't have to pay $100+ for each pedal in 2023 from just a handful of companies charging an arm and a leg for the same sounds. There are so many budget pedal makers to choose from and some are even in metal cases with graphics and true bypass.
What would other good brands be?
@@5weating_8ullets The 60 cycle hum channel have lots of videos of what he called "afford-a-board"pedals and they cover most of the brands that are affordable. I would check out those videos for starters. If you are a bedroom player like myself just look on youtube for demos and reviews and just buy what sounds good. The great thing with affordable pedals is that they are typically clones or slightly modified versions of tried and true circuits or sounds and if they end up not being great then you are only out $30. However it is worth mentioning that I have packed up my Behringer pedals and am using a used Line 6 Pod HD Pro X with the HD Fully Loaded model pack and it basically replaced all of my pedals into one incredible sounding box for a mere $300 on ebay + $100 for the model pack which is well worth the money. That unit is like nearly 10 years old and it just sounds amazing still. I'm amazed that amp modeling is so good now.
I own 10s of boutique pedals and I own behringer pedals, theyre awesome. Some of them are the exact same as boss equivalent.
So, this guy has his problems with these pedals, but the overwhelming response in the comments is that the pedals are good. I am very much the amateur guitarist, but the pedals have worked for me. The plastic cases seem quite sturdy. I haven't noticed the pots being hard to turn. I really like the Behringer reverb pedal. Some of his complaints seem rather nebulous. Sorry, I still think the pedals have quite a lot of bang for the buck.
I have an SF300 and it’s absolutely great
Guy trying to shill over priced pedals fails at trying to shame cheaper pedals.
Well I'll save you time. The guy is disapointed cause the 20$ copy isn't as good as the original at 100$.
Thanks captain obvious!
Stop telling me what to do! lmao I love behringer and always have so tuff cookies I will buy what I want and tell my honest opinions on all of them. They are just as good as any pedal
Basically saying they're not good without showing examples is not credible. People, watch reviews with sound examples so you can make an actual, informed decision.
I'm not "challenging" you, but I've watched about 20-25 videos and in 90% of them, the host didn't really "hype" the pedals per se, rather just gave an honest account of what was what, with the conclusion most often being that some of them are really good, some of them suck, and just pointed out the differences in them in build quality vs. the others. My experience so far has been great with the OD300 and the T808, they sound great and the build quality is fine as long as you don't go out of your way to abuse them. I did add little nuts to the input/output jacks, just for extra stability and durability, which cost me all of 50 cents.
So I am happy to be challenged because obviously what I post are my opinions only, fair enough I do only try to form an opinion once I know a bit about something but still... mistakes can be made.
Also, I am happy if folks post good experiences with these pedals because it means they are happy with their product and haven't wasted their money. I unfortunately have not had that luxury :-)
i 100 disagree i have been using for 10 years and the are amazing .....and the best cheap sound is mixing behirnger pedal with gt1 boss
These pedals are great..don't worry that they are plastic and all that stuff, if you're running over the pedals with a forklift, then you had a problem.
I have to politely disagree... The alternative 'cheap' Donner pedals you speak about can not be purchased down here in the never-never outback unless I am prepared to spend more on postage than the pedal price (because it has to come from the US).
- Donner Micro Equalizer, 5 band EQ - AU $43 - postage = $52 for 1, $72 for 2, $92 for 3 etc ) 7-10 week delivery
- Behringer EQ700, 7 band Bass EQ - AU $38 - Postage = $15 ( free postage for 2 or more ) 1 week delivery.. So, where you live affects the price.
I just purchased 5 x Behringer pedals for use with my Synthesizers, so they fit my system at a perfect price. (total 5x for AU $190)
I do DIY electronics & cases so I have no concerns about whether the case has gaps in the joins. What matters to me is that it gives me the sound I am after and at a price that I just cant ignore...
Purity of sound is for the engineers and critics to argue over. I dont have time to critique noise, I've got music to make..
Rock on Mate. :)
p.s. to hell with the "Brand Snobs".
Thanks for watching the vid and understanding my point and actually commenting with a real argument.
If any of the Behringer pedals I purchased did not introduce a noise I would defo have kept and used some but that has not been my experience.
I hope is also translated but I am not interested in brand names either, just something that works for me.
Maybe you just got unlucky and got some bad ones? I just put together a budget board made up of 6 behringer pedals (CL9, TO800, HD300, UV300, VD400 and DR600) and I don't have any signal noise issues from them.
I know for a fact I will be buying some again because so many here have had positive experiences. You might be right, I might have just been unlucky.
@@KrachWerke If you use a power supply to power the pedals , check that, my pedals are silent, my power supply is a pain in the butt.....
The beauty of aluminium pedal cases is that as long as they are shielded properly they are essentially Faraday cages. I don't know how the Beringer pedals are shielded, but plastic cases surely make them more vulnerable to rfi/emi. If there is some flex in the plastic cases perhaps there can be stress on the components (not least the pcb). That said, I've seen plastic Behringer pedals on pro pedalboards, so I guess I'll have to buy a couple and see for myself.

I just play guitar, for all I care I get them, plug them, and most importantly; play the heck out of them!🎛🎸🤘🤘
got 5 so far and they cut the mustard pretty darn well 👍👍
I haven't taken them apart, but I think they can coat the plastic with cheap graphite paint in the same manner as when you shield the pickups when you build a strat.
Yup spend 5x more for the same circuit. The analog pedals are sonic clones of high end pedals. You just telling people to spend more money for same circuit
I have a couple Behringer pedals, their EQ pedal and their octave pedal. The octave pedal was an impulse purchase and I don’t use it much, but it does what it’s meant to and does it quite well. No unwanted noise or volume drop or anything like that. Their eq pedal has stayed on my board since I got it, and I am not one to keep a pedal on my board that gives me any issues. I’ve retired at least 3 pedals that used to be favorites of mine by other companies that introduced unwanted noise or signal issues or created volume drops and had no qualms with buying more expensive pedals that worked better to replace those. I have had none of the issue ls described in this video with my Behringer eq pedal. Maybe it comes down to quality control issues. That said, I don’t see myself spending more for a different eq pedal any time soon as long as this one keeps doing the job as well as it does without unwanted side effects. I don’t think the “hype” with Behringer is undeserved at all, I think Behringer has a good track record going and you can’t argue with with the dedicated following they have and how long their success with pedals has continued. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the vast majority of people using their pedals with nothing to gain from giving positive or negative reviews seem to enjoy them and find them to work just fine. But cheap pedals have come a long way and there certainly are other options these days, so Behringer is certainly not the only company offering quality pedals at affordable prices and it may pay off to try a few different pedals until you find the one you prefer.
I have a behringer SF300 (super fuzz), i use it on studio, live and practice. I traveled with it. It's always on my pedalboard. Never, and i mean NEVER had an issue with it, not a noise, not a "click", nothing at all, in fact it did surprised me that, it sound really loud yet there's no noise coming from the massive gain the pedal has. It's DEAD silent. The thing with behringer, is just what it is: they have really great affordable clones of pedals that are either discontinued, or stupidly expensive. Why would i go buy a nux fuzz (for example) if i can buy an exact clone of a Boss Hyper Fuzz for less the price? Because are made of plastic? that's a lame excuse tbh.
I have 5 of these pedals, they're fantastic! The only downside to the whole unit is that its plastic! Ive rehoused all of mine into 1590b enclosures!
Interesting. What are 1590 enclosures?
I will look it up. Sounds interesting.
Wow. That's awesome. Thanks!
I plug my behringer boog into my behringer vintage phaser pedal, and it sounds great. The fuzz one is also great.
The non-noise issue could be due to battery operation versus mains power
I don't entirely agree with this type of generalization.
From my point of view, the Behringers are indeed low-cost copies that often sound less good (less "natural" to my ear), but there are sometimes very good surprises. I have several Tube screamer clones and the TO800 is ultimately my favorite (the one that best matches what I expect from a tube screamer). I bought a used Maxon 808 to replace it. It is undeniably better but it is not super obvious either .... so that in the end I always have the behringer - which does the job very well - on my pedalboard.
I also recently buy a SF300 which I took for fun (I've never been too attracted to fuzz) given all the praise I've heard about it. Well what a surprise! Playing this pedal on crunched amp is really crazy.
Last example, a friend of mine who plays bass in a metal band uses a Behringer distortion pedal (normally for guitar) which he activates on certain tracks. He likes this one because it gives a dirty sound that matches the vibe of these tracks well.
Unsubscribed, this video is completely unnecessary. I have several Behringer pedals, and they're great! I will forever hype these inexpensive pedals.
So much hate for different opinion of yours? And about what? Are you a Behringer employee?? No you are not. And red, Today you have better pedals did cheaper.
Sorry you had bad experience but my friends had em to bits and apart from case there identical especially the tube screamer he had a broken tube screamer put electrics in and worked as good as the rhythm guitarists so they are identical same as the chorus and eq pedal all electric elements were same chips same boards
I have not heard any extra noise in my signal. I'm running the ultra Vibrato and the Ultra Trem. I love mine. And yes. They were super cheap.
I realize this is 2 years old but I have experience with two Behringer pedals - the chorus pedal and the noise gate pedal. I find the chorus pedal to be quite good and I use it in my Marshall’s effects loop. The noise gate was purchased as a cheap alternative to my BOSS NS-2, and I find it to be inferior. It’s ok maybe as a spare if someone at a gig needs one, but that’s about it.
I do what I want.
The only negative thing I have to say about Behringer pedals is that they’ve stopped producing certain pedals like the Digital Delay and the Rotary Machine.
The Vintage delay didn’t provide me with the results I wanted, so I tracked down the Digital Delay and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Behringer Digital Delay >>>> Behringer Analog Delay
!!! WTF Sounds like to me you are Comparing A Rolls Royce to a Volkswagen i have been using behringer Pedals for over 15 years all over the UK as Well as in Europe with my band and have found them reliable and have no complaints
I am glad you had that experience. This video is not about discouraging folks to use the pedals but to counter the encouragement of folks using them.
Folks should buy what they want at the end of the day.
I have used 4 (5) and they were all unusable. And I am not a brand snob, gear snob in any way.
@@KrachWerke unusable in which way?
@@demoxcro786 Too much noise in the signal and the build does not inspire confidence
@Far Stox Seriously? No like seriously? The noise is my fault? The noisy internal buffer is my fault? Did I design or build the pedal?
@@KrachWerke I had a noisy overdrive using a power supply, went away using 9V batt. DC is cleaner, I suspect their AC to DC circuits bite, no filter. Drop a batt and see if it helps. It will serve to find root cause and give you a tech reason to explain why not to use.
The cheap TC electronic pedals would be a better alternative to the plastic Behringhers. TC electronic pedals are true bypass and has solid metal enclosures.
Why wouldnt i hype them? Im poor
Mine are fine. Do I detect a little snobbery here?
I did not realize these were for music. I have been eating them for food. Difficult to digest.
I got a few as testers, much as you'd get a mini paint pot tester before you buy the full 5 litres. For instance I have an Ultravibrato to stand in while I save for a VB-2 Waza - it's fine. I'll probably pass it on to a friend once I'm done with it. I've stopped Gassing now that I have a Zoom Multistomp which I'd agree much more useful as a cheap, compact all in one unit. I generally regard them as stocking fillers for teenage guitarists starting out.
I only have one Behringer pedal. It's the Ultra Chorus, a clone of the Boss Super Chorus. They sound exactly the same, side by side comparison with knobs on the same spot, and they are undistinguible.
It's more than 30 years that i am a digital rack mutieffect man, so since them were not so good sounding as today, even if other than cheap once, never had many stomp pedals, recently, for my curiosity, i wanted to try some of them without spend a lot of money, so Behringer gave me the chance, and i've found them good enough to taste stomps, even if i'll continue use my digital multieffects Zoom and old Roland
I TOTALLY DISAGREE..i have over 45 pedals from ALL makers, from £15 to £200 ..Behringer make some of the BEST sounding pedals around REGARDLESS of the price 🤷
I had a Behringer Chorus that was noisy when bypassed, like you described.
The effect itself was fantastic, but because of the constant swooshing sound when bypassed made it unusable. Off my board it went.
They get the job done and I think they're great, never had a problem with it, never had noise, the only thing I wouldn't do is stopping on it at regular base, I put them in a switcher
Haha Behringer pedals sound absolutely fine! Its just the pedals build quality.
Not a quality issue on performance. Get a behringer pedal and put its circuit board in a metal frame. Done!
I've had Behringer pedals for over 10 years, plastic ..yes..but the build quality is perfect ..
i listened to you and i hear you. was about to buy their eq, phaser, and flanger. i think i'll keep shopping and reseaching. sounds like you were okay with donner brand? thanks for the video. going to look through your channel now.
This review is one man's opinion, please read the replies underneath from the rest of us.
For next to no money these pedals are genuinely amazing, I own 12 pedals of which 4 are Beringer and they are a quality product, the reverb and ultra chorus are fantastic.
The noise that he mentions neither I or anybody else in the comments have noticed and the "plastic" complaint is void... Yes they are plastic but so are construction site helmets and car parts, just keep this in mind.
Anyway, don't let this one negative review stop you from trying a product which clearly many of us find to be fantastic, buy one and give it a try. 😉
@benlockett01 , I think I give them a try. I have learned more and with prime and sale I think I can get them $18-$20 next week.
I had a similar hiss, then I moved the things that were near to the pedals and they were fine, so...? Knobs are fine, sounds great, oh well?
I gig with them. They work fine.
Me too. Yes, you are right.
Anybody saying they aren’t good are contrarians. I have multiple boutique pedals, choruses, reverbs, delays, you name it-along with some behringer. most of the behringer pedals especially the analog ones sound just like the real ones they are mimicking. The reverb pedals sound decent, quite different than the ones they’re imitating but anyone who says they don’t sound good are just gear collectors who aren’t actually using their gear to make music.
They are at least great for experimenting... if you want to try things out and consider using a pedal more frequently and on stage you are still open to buy the real deal... They are still the cheapest option in alot of warehouses online and offline. But I agree; My digital Multieffects still get more used; recording and on stage...
If something not like something else .Then it's something of it's own. so thats not a bad thing .I have Behringer vintage phaser and an ultra chorus that I am very happy with. I am in no way a gear snob and without Behringer my pedal board would be very sparce .
There's a few misses in their range, but most of the ones I've had, such as the screamer and the chorus are oustanding, and I appreciate that they make nice pedals that kids and beginners can afford.
Never had a problem, never had any weird noise, never had any wonky knobs. The analogue ones are bang on copies and you literally can't tell the difference, the digitals are a bit different though. Made me laugh when you mentioned the wonky knobs, I had a boss pedal that I lost all the knobs on, they fell off in transit from rehearsal and had to be replaced. For whatever reason you have a beef with Behringer, god knows why
He works for Boss 😂
where I live the tube screamer is $ 260 new and the berhinger (fantastic copy) is 40 $ (it`s plastic and feel solid and there is absolutly no noise problem with mine. Do you have some evidence about this weird noise problems ?
Nothing wrong with any of the Behringer pedals. I've just started out and can't afford £100's of pounds on a single pedal. The Behringers sound as good as most of the pedals they are based on at a fraction of the price. As for the fact you stated that they're 'unusable' well that's not true...
Can you show us what you mean? Let us hear the noise difference etc
I've got Seymour Duncan SFX-08 Power Grid Distortion pedal, it was the noisiest pedal I ever played until I bought a proper power supply for it.
So if your pedal makes hum, check its power source first.
I own a plenty of Behringer pedals, they make no hum at all, because I'm using Behringer power supply with them.
I have 4 of them on my board. No problems. Sounds great. No noise. They have been there for 12 years on a gigging board. You mentioned Donner. I had their delay pedal. It lasted about a year and just quit working
Yes I agree. Mine work brilliantly. And, with me being poor - works out really well!
no one is really hyping them though, most are merely expressing that they are great value for money for a beginner or for home use. i fee like you wasted twenty minutes of your life complaining about a total non issue.
you dont care is plastic, yet you mention it about 20 times
I don’t agerat all. I have the vintage phaser and it sound way more expensive than it is. I also have the EQ pedal that i use as a clean boost and it sounds great. I’ve gigged with these pedals and they preformed just as good as my more expensive pedals. I havn’t noticed any tone sucking. The worst budget friendly pedals iv’e bought was from Tomsline, they where dissapointing.
You are hyping these pedals by making this video.
The OD300 is a great pedal. I get tones and a playing response from them that I don't get from my other pedals. My other favorite pedals are some of my earthqaukers.
The way you speak always sounds like you're giving someone the news that someone died. (great video)
For 25 bucks you can’t beat that in todays world
I think he’s got a prejudice and is hearing things. The old when you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail.
Dude...was it a bad breakup? Is that why you hate the man?
I have the tube screamer and the compressor I’d take my Ibanez or my mxr over that but the compressor is actually my cheapest and top two most used on my board serves it’s purpose well
If you pay me the price difference I'll gladly buy bosses and electro Harmonixs dude. If not shut up.

@HellWaffen😂
Yeah... I bought my first behringer pedal a couple of days ago. It was the compressor/sustain... the hiss was crazy, on and off.
I have to turn the attack down to like 30% in order to get rid of most of it, which kind of defeats the point.
The cheaper kmise (Amazon basics) pedals don't have that noise as far as I've found so far. I picked up the analog delay, and it's been great. I think I'll get their compressor and see how it compares.
I'm a poor, so I think I might just get the rest of the kmise pedals. It would still be cheaper than getting one quality brand pedal. Lol
After reading a bunch of these comments, it makes me wonder... did I just get a bad one or something?
I feel like I'm the only one in the comments that agreed with you. Lol
The hiss is real, I swear! Lol
Maybe I'll try to send it back and get another??? At least then I could see if it was just a bad pedal.
But I have a feeling it will be zero out of 2.
I've had just as many issues on and off with my boutique pedals as I have any of my cheap ones. Their 808 clone is great, I use it over my $150 808 clone... somewhat to my dismay. It's a $30 dollar pedal, they're not meant to be pro-level gear, they're meant to be cheap effect pedals that sound like more expensive pedals and they are just that.
I used them 15 years ago and considered them a starting point for getting into pedals and also not having much money it was a bargain. I used them for about a year and then got into Strymon and never looked back.
PS Your right they are noisy.
I have a few and they all sound great
Folks, this is a competitor of Behringer. I have a Behringer Overdrive, an Ibanez TS 808 and a Vertex Overdrive. Yes the Behringer isn't the same build quality of the Ibanez or Vertex but it's fine.
Welches Netzteil nutzt du denn genau?
I was thinking to get some cheap BEHRINGER EQ pedals. They are unusable you say? Because of noise?
The comments in this video are all very negative to my message but most of them don't understand or have bothered to watch the video. I suggest that they are not hyped, not that they shouldn't be used or purchased.
I have had nothing but bad experiences with them and think there are better options in the budget range like Mooer, NUX, Caline etc.
So I am not sure how to answer your question, I personally would rather get the Caline EQ than the Behringer.
@@KrachWerke SO I found your funny brutal video were you throw the bass eq in the trash. How come you didn't present it's hiss? The power up noise alone, didn't justify the trash can: Pedal boards are always on. And on this video, where you want to support and clarify the older "EQ in trashcan video", you don't provide any evidence of what you claim, ...when this is what the medium of RUclips is all about: Showing what is talked about: Experience. I am not saying you 're lying but I couldn't blame anyone if he would. Thanks for the advice though. I will definitely check them out.
Talking of noise you remind me my ChaseBliss preamp mkii. When you add the mid/Q option it’s adding a level of noise that is just too much, especially if you want to use it as overdrive in a dirty CH. Too bad. Yesterday, I replicated tube screamer 808 and TS9. I lmao, it was too good but again, much noise compare to almost zero on the TS. Too bad. Using only the Benson preamp, it does what it’s supposed to do, I like germanium option too. Good for a vintage amp use or almost clean channel but at 1k$ it’s a big turn off. It can be a EQ at low gain though. The mid Q can be placed before Gain to boost it too or after. I’ll still keep the pedal. Great toy,
It’s discontinued for lack of building components . Now life time warranty which it gives it values to my eyes.
Ps.: I've to admit the noise issue in the chasebliss pre mkii occur with the mid -Q added pre-gain. Post gain is somehow acceptable.
I would recommend any of the Behringer pedals for anyone starting out. If you get the point where their downsides are actually hindering your playing or progresss then you are ready to invest in something a bit more specific and you're saving the pennies to get exactly what you want. You cannot seriously complain about the quality of the sound/electronics for the price. Do you think you average learner, or hobbyist is going to spend their cash on high quality hardware that costs at least £100+ per pedal or around £100 on three of four Behringer pedals? Most people can't tell the difference between the Behringer pedals and the pedal's they're copying. However, if you can tell the difference in how they sound whilst playing, then, as I mentioned, you probably already own the pedal you want. Let's not forget that a lot of your sound will also be defined by your guitar and amp.
I have 20 pedals from Behringer and they are good voor the price . Behringer is not bad!!!
The noise is in your brain. I've got the fuzz and the tube overdrive and they're as good as my hi end pedals.
Looking / listing at this is a waste of time
They sound good to me, and in some cases they are better than the alternative. The ultra chorus is a clone of the Boss Ch-1 but its a clone of the old, very expensive analog version, rather than the new digital version that Boss make.
After buying trying a range Behringer guitar pedals, after JSH endowment, I can say the only pedal I'm impressed with is the Vintage Delay. The Chorus is unusable, the Heavy metal is unusable, The EQ is only good for cutting frequency not boosting, The compressor is terrible and mostly muddies the signal chain. Bar the Vintage Echo I will not use any of these in my signal chain.
I have 2 myself for my bass and they sound great. Know quite a few people, one a doctorate in music, that uses multiple ones as well for guitar. There's nothing wrong with these pedals especially at this price
They're the exact same circuits as boss pedals the only difference is the housing
