Anyone with any experience with a Behringer Ultra 212?

[Demanic]

Just picked up one for small money at a pawn shop just so as to be able to have an amp at each location where I practice so as to have to hall less equipment around. It came stock with 2X12" 100 watt Jensens, being pushed by 60 watts per channel (I take it it's in stereo). Only messed with it a bit today, but in reading the owners manual online, it seems to have quite an array of on board effects and over all the amp has a nice character to it, both clean and dirty.
So, the question stands, anyone with any experience with one?

Nope. But I love Behringer's overuse of the word 'ultra'.

Well that was certainly helpful.

The UltraTwin GX212?

I believe that's the one. So far as I've gotten to monkey with it, it's a decent sounding ss amp. From the way the speakers sound, and given the plethora of onboard effects, I might be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

I've got a V-Tone GMX212, which I believe is similar, but just how similar I don't know. It also has a 2x60 power section and 12" Jensen speakers. It sounds good at lower levels, but it runs out of power before it can get really loud, and it does not do so gracefully. Good practice amp, though -- it actually sounds like something instead of the lifeless cardboard approximation that so many inexpensive amps are.

Which to me sounds perfect for the situation where it will be used: small room jam with live drums. Though if it sounds good, it looks to have outputs that could be run through house systems solving the volume problem.

I don't know why Behringer gets such a bad rap. I have a 40 watt keyboard/pa that I use for keys, guitar synth and acoustic instruments. It is clear as a bell and the onboard effects are more than useable. I have even plugged my electrics in it time to time with great results. It was a nice find for $50.
