Great little amp ,lot of sound for the money, you really can't go wrong , 5 years playing still good , I did have some cracking at one time ,pulled the amp apart to find some wiring ribbon, the glue had pulled loose, glued back down no problems since ,or it could have been leaving it in the car during the day at work and maybe it got hot " too hot " .

First off, so you know, I'm an old-fart professional musician/teacher/luthier with decades of experience; I've gigged with some famous folks been active in the biz all my life and have played/tested more amps than I can possibly count---I'm not basing this on whether the amp was good for one sound or from an inadequate knowledge of how to turn a knob. The fact is, this amp is KILLER at its price as far as sound goes; I've seen nothing that comes close within $250 of its cost. It's LOUD, the speakers seen to crunch without much mud and the clean sound is very reminiscent of an old Twin. Obviously, out of the 27 different combos claimed for it, only a few will end up being used (I suspect that I myself will use 3 or 4 max), but they're WONDERFUL. So WHY did Behringer do a couple of what to my mind are DUMB things? I admit that by buying a MIDI foot controller you can alleviate some of the effects bugs, but some of us may not want to clutter up the floor onstage too much. Okay---no way to scroll thru the digi FX on the footswitch. A price vs features quibble. Four compressor patches that seem to do almost nothing (where's the sustain?), and worst of all aren't combined with any chorus/reverb for the kind of long wet/modulated clean chord sustain most of us want. Actually, the quality of most of these FX is VERY nice and the pitch transposed ones are better than a lot of straight rack effects---but why no way to edit the pitch intervals? K--I recognize that most of these ARE just quibbles; the fact that the FX are there and sound so good is a BIG credit to Behringer, certainly not enough of an annoyance to ME to make me return the amp. What MAY make me return the amp is this: WHY do the INTERNAL speakers DISCONNECT when you hook up EXTERNAL speakers? That's just dumb. Most of us want to be able to monitor ourselves on stage as well as stick a couple of cabinets out to the side for stereo FX. If you just want to create an 8x12" stack, why even bother with the internal 12s--just make a head. Impedance issues are NOT hard to deal with, and it seems a complete waste of two perfectly good Jensen 12s to have them UNUSED if you're using a couple of ext. cabs---plus the extra weight of carrying around the amp with its internal 12s makes this seem REALLY dumb.

I bought this amp from this websight, no problem. I was stoked when I first got it. It worked excellent for 6 months, then it started sounding like a shower as my band members would say. It cracks a little in the sound (which isn't from the instrument cables) The effects are neat, but I never use them. The overdrive channels rock with 27 different styles to choose from. If your low on cash like me, U might want this amp.

Ok, good price, well done with that. Good effects, well done with those. But what's up with the footswitch? If I'm playing a song and want to switch effects immediately, why won't the pedal change immediately? There is a slight delay that I have quite a problem with, if the change in channels was immediate then this would be an awesome amp, but because of that I am bumping the rating down half a star. The other half of the star is missing because the guitar lead input came loose within a few weeks and is very difficult to tighten, even after I'd taken the head apart. A good show from Behringer overall.

Great amp for all players...clean channel a little quiet, but workable. Choppy clean to distortion, but not bad for presets. Definitely a great buy, and GOOD AND LOUD distortion. I recommend you get it. It'll take some time to find an effect you like, but you're guaranteed one out of the 100 presets
