Tell me why I should not buy a behringer

Re: Tell me why I should not buy a behringer

I am using a Behringer digital mixer with the band, and it sounds great. Some of the smaller ones, especially the first generations were noisy and didn't sound great. I haven't used their synths or guitar effects/amps.

I have an older model of the op's posted link. It's a decent amp for the money. Jensen speakers of some sort. Good onboard effects that you can midi control. Stereo, 60 watts per channel. Drive channel is ok, but then I usually use dirt boxes through the clean channel, which sounds fine.

Re: Tell me why I should not buy a behringer

Thats been my experience. POS

Thats not totally true anymore -example -a lot of the Behringer product is rebadged Midas circuits but built in China or other Pro Audio partners in their conglomerate... it can be good stuff at a great price.

But I had nothing but POS experiences prior to about 5-8 years ago -so I get your feelings.

Ive had great results with MIC Mosky brand pedals. Well made and very affordable. I have the buffer/Black Rat/ & just ordered the Dyna comp.
You get one shot with me. if i get screwed taking a chance it will never happen again and why should it ? Too many great companies out there to deal with crappy ones.

Actually, no argument from me on this.... I'm just letting you know not all their stuff is POS anymore... Their ethics and screwing over other companies is the original reason I don't own any -other than they don't make anything that I would prefer, but I have a long memory to my detriment sometimes and they are a better company now.

And if i applied my petty Behringer ethical logic to everything, there would be few companies to purchase from -as most gear companies started by ripping off another one -and electronic circuit design is a nebulous thing when it comes to intellectual property - as most circuits were actually designed by the tube, transistor, or chip maker as a demonstration of what you can do with their component product -so they want everyone repeating it. The differences in most products is the arrangement and permutations of those basic circuits together - few are original in a creative sense.... So I shouldn't hold a grudge too long on this.

The China gear is hit & miss as a whole. But for my money i can't afford any or unlimited misses.
Kinda like fishing, why waste time at a place where there are no fish when all you have to do is find the honey hole.

I'm really hard on gear -so things like Behringer, Danelectro, and even TC Electronic just aren't tough enough for me for either travel or lots of gigging

Behringer bought TC Electronics 2 years ago. Consequently i have bought no TC gear since. Nor plan to.

HAHHAAHAHAH

I didn't even know that -wow -makes sense -I just knew TC Electronic Chinese stuff is constructed cheaply and unreliable for heavy use. A lot of it sounds good and they used to be top of the line in the 90s before there got into consumer gear.

From here on out, I am going to do my best to avoid everything that comes out of China.
Hopefully, the market will be doing the same.

Have you ever seen that documentary of the finally that tried to only consume items not made in China? It's an eye opener for sure.

Maybe one positive from Covids will be at least a continental self reliance move -to avoid being reliant on most everything in it's finished form from across an ocean -however I do not think it should be at the micro or local level -the population is too big -the environment cannot withstand every county producing their own industrial level waste for every consumers product -we have to have a model of efficiency which requires regionalization -and honestly Americans wouldn't pay for it anyways.

the whole world wears Chinese blue jeans and wears Chinese watches

Re: Tell me why I should not buy a behringer

I had a Behringer "Tube Monster 999" pedal-

with a no-name 12ax7 inside.

I replaced the tube with a NOS Phillips 5751- that was twice the price of the Behringer pedal

And it sounded awesome with bass guitar. It roared!

But the pots were plastic- everything just... dirt cheap. :/

I hope i find the pedal, and retrieve the tube.

Re: Tell me why I should not buy a behringer

We're sorry-this item is unavailable.



That would be a good reason to not buy it.

Sketchy business practices, weird anti-semitic ownership, product looks and sounds cheap until it breaks. There are like a billion better options.

JMP/HBE thnks for posting that clip. never heard of him or that song before. Good message. gonna send it to my girls that are...... Uh... falling for stuff.

Re: Tell me why I should not buy a behringer

I can only say that every Behringer product I've used has been a disappointment.

Though I still believe there might be some worth the money, I'm not betting any of mine on it.

Actually, if every country would make their share of industrial waste, and production, it would be better for environment as it would be dealt properly.

It's far too easy to ignore pollution, waste and moral issues of ultra cheap labor when it all happens other side of the world.

Maybe you misread -I was talking at the "COUNTY" level -not country -definitely agree at the regional and country level.

My point is, we have to both distribute at the regional level of industrialization enough to take advantage of efficiencies of scale and cost and to limit the micro localization enough to mitigate impact to the environment by having the more efficient less redundant community to community model.
