Behringer is good for the price. But if I had $$$ i would not invest in behringer guitar amps.

I know Behringer products. I have used alot of them myself. And i find them personally only average. Which is why i said it is good for the price. There are certain things that i would buy, but guitar amps i would rather go for other mid range products. Like peaveys or Laneys (tube of course). On the studio side, behringer puts up alot of competition because the high end ones are outrageously expensive. And not much different in terms of performance.

My lead guitarist is a sound engineer and producer himself and he uses behringers for recording purposes too. But there is no sound like tube sound. Which is why i am not a big marshall SS fan myself (but i am assuming the marshall that blew was tube?). Speaking quite frankly....no offense intended... it's not really a big deal that the marshall blew up and the behringer didnt. Marshalls are i believe overrated. Just like Boogies. It's just the name.

Whatever I said here ONLY applies to guitar amplification. For studio products i strongly stand behind behringers (except for monitors...there are better ones out there). I personally use behringer compressors and headphones and am truly satisfied with them.

just to make things right :

"has his own Ibanez Signature series"

really ? so what's his name ? there are only a dizain persons on earth to have a signature serie at Ibanez. Maybe it is a custom guitar. So he has a custom ibanez guitar, but he prefers to play on a stock behringer guitar ? Frankly, that'd be extremely weird. And I doubt it.

"marshall literally blew up because it cant take it where the behringer easily surpasses it"

where does the behringer surpasses a marshall amp ? in raw power ? in sound quality ? in the electrical cord length ? in the number of knobs ? That's not a relevant sentence.

"my dealer who is a producer"

so your behringer distributor is a music producer, which swears by Behringer products. Well, that sounds very logical to my ears, if I assume his business is to try to sell to people what he's distributing biggrin.gif However I don't think the guy is playing on Behringer guitars, plugged in Behringer amps. Maybe he's just referring to some studio equipments.

I don't mean to be impolite, nor agressive. I just want to moderate what you're saying about your products, so that musicians/beginners won't just swallow all those informations as facts.

--His Name is Daniel Foo his guitars is no more in production though but i`ll gladly post up some pics.Its NOT a custom guitar its a signature series and reason its no more in production is because he`s not a full time musician anymore so ibanez stopped the series.

"marshall literally blew up because it cant take it where the behringer easily surpasses it"

where does the behringer surpasses a marshall amp ? in raw power ? in sound quality ? in the electrical cord length ? in the number of knobs ? That's not a relevant sentence.

--In terms of durability and sound quality.Thats not my first time seeing a marshall amp blow.Don get me wrong im not trying to discredit any brands here but its based on my experience with these particular brands .Marshalls used to be good.Old marshall amps are good but not the new ones.Their MG series amps is actually made by a company in india and they just bought over the company.Sounds horrible.

--of course hes not playing on behringer guitars..but he is playing on behringer amps.His business is doing recordings and he also does acoustics.

--No harm done..i did feel like my posting was too shallow.Forgive me for that.

On a more serious note..if any of you wants to do an album you guys can contact me.The studio is based in melaka.we offer professional quality recording without burning a hole in your pocket.We have a website but its nothing much lah www.geckomusic.net

i use behringer products and my fav would be the lx1 pro (also known as vamp pro). ive tested the line6podxt live with all the packs installed and i still prefer this. not to say this is better, its a matter of taste as this sounds more raw and real. of course, the real amp would be way better. my church uses some behringer racks too, not just because of the price(we have alot of high end racks, mics, speakers, etc).

however, behringer surpassing marshall? come on, maybe a MG and some low series in terms of sound quality. behringer models amps, and nth beats the real thing. not to mention real tubes will react differently. durability? ive seen the construction of their amps, i'm not considering one! just one case of a marshall blowing up before a behringer doesnt mean behringer is so much more durable. alot of factors involved. who knows the marshall was older, or the guitarist was playing at full whereas the other wasnt, heck it could even be a freak accident.

as for recording, of course behringer products can be used to get a nice tone. take note that its not just the behringer involved in the recording process, extremely good equipments to MIX and MASTER is critical to achieving great tone. im sure uve heard and read of many cases where legendary guitarist use cheap or no brand guitars to record their stuff.

well..... behringer stomps are prolly real good deals for the money
they sound decent with really good pricing

however a behringer stack surpassing a marshall?? probably MG series...
i dont think a solidstate behringer can surpass the real thing its trying to emulate...

I would keep my fingers away from behringer mixing desks as well.

But like i said, if you want to consider being a dealer, i guess it would be worth it. The price range is good for hobby musicians/studios etc.... I guess you could make a living out of it.

My friend has a Behringer SS amp, which is much better that the Marshall MG & AVT series imo... and it's cheaper! thumbup.gif

Anyway, what are we discussing here? AFAIK, Behringer copies someone else's products and replaces the components with cheaper counterparts. wink.gif

not only the EQ, the faders and aux sends are also quite weird. The response is almost like nothing, and then suddenly it is too loud, or too soft. Thats what i feel anyway. Or maybe i just tested a defect mixing desk. Could be possible....

As for mixing desks, i believe they copy mackie desks. And i think we are giving our opinion on behringer products? correct me if i'm wrong though....
