Re: Behringer pedals *Haters keep out!!!*
When I first heard about they're boss ripoff pedals, I was quite excited. Being as I need a Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo, and Some sort of wah.
But when I went to try some out, Me and the sales guy were amazed when we Went through about 20 of them And every single one we took out of the packageing Was Broken. Straight outta the packageing Not a single one of them worked correctly. Might a just been that One stores shippment. But I dunno, I had the same problem a few weeks later when I decided to try some out at a different shoppe in aurora, Not all were broken this time, But Nearly all of them Had some sort of issue. Either one of the controlls did absolutely Nothing, They stomp switch Didn't work (pedal wouldn't go off), Or The jacks connections were so loose that BREATHEING made the signal cut out.
Needless to say, I am still without a phaser, flanger, trem, or wah.
That said. when the Pedals DID work, they sounded decent. Lots of Hiss and hum on certain ones (mainly the trem), But thats to be expected on any budget pedal (the dano pedals from a few years back had the same issues with hiss and hum). For $20 they're alright, Provided they work. Personally I'de rather save up and Spend $100 on a pedal that I know will last for 10 years (or more), rather than Spend $20 on a pedal that might only last a Month (or maybe a little longer).
But you could also look at it liek renting a movie before you buy it. You pay $20 for a phaser, It'll give you a few weeks/months to Mess with it and decide if you even NEED a phaser. If ya discover you Do need a phaser, then You can go buy a good one when the Behringer breaks. Rather than Spending $100 (or more) To buy a good one, Only to find out you have no real use for it.
