That's pretty nifty... damnit, I would have much preferred to have smaller pedals than my GT-6... then i again i did pick it up for $500, a third of the original price.

It'll be interesting to read the reviews and see if they compare in quality to the BOSS.

warning! warning!
Stay away from most Behringer products! I had a very bad experience with a particular Behringer product(namely an Ultrabass BX 1200 Bass amp) and i have subsequently been warned about trusting Behringer products.
This amp was brand new and i had nothing but problems with it until I email the Australian Head Office of Behringer and had a big whinge. They sent me a brand new unit and I'm hoping that it fixes the problem. But I have learnt that most music stores in my area will not stock Behringer products because of all the trouble they have had with them. When I took my amp to the repair shop (who is authorised Behringer repairer), their walls were lined with Behringer products to be fixed. They have had enough!
So, just a warning. You dont want to have to go through what I did!

I've got a behringer mixer and it hasn't caused me any problems for the last 5 years. I'm not attacking you, i'm just wondering coz i haven't heard anything about behringer being faulty |

mate, if i were to tell u what was wrong with it, i'd be writing a 3000 word essay. The fact that Behringer's head office in Melbourne decided to replace my 14 month old unit with no proof or purchase, no questions asked says a lot. The authorised Behringer repairer who looked at my amp informed me of all Behringer's problems because he has seen them. He said that there were so many cases like mine, but with a variety of equipment. And when I called the store in Sydney where the amp was purchased the reply was, "yeah, they (Behringer) seem to be having some problems" anyway, this is turning into an essay.........  |

While I dont agree that it is acceptable that their products seem to have a high failure rate, at the end of the day you get what you pay for. Behringer a pretty well known for using very cheap componentry and cheap labour (as well as less than ethical procedures of obtaining there designs) I have bought (and no others that have too) behringer products in the past and luckily everything is still working ok. However, i dont think i would purchase something and hope to use it for a project 2 years down the line......or even 8 months! Personally, i would be very happy that they are replacing the unit without proof of purchase and at no charge. Good luck with the new amp! |

Back to the pedals, you would have to be sceptical about something which has a sole purpose of knocking off other pedals cheap ...
If their philosophy centers around cheap crap then I would heed Jess' warning. It's not like most music stores would tell you they sucked, especially if they stocked them because they want to sell them. The people who know that sort of stuff are the poor people stuck repairing them because they hear all the complaints down the track ...
