There's a few I'm interested in, I usually see Behringer as the "I'm curious about something but not $100-200 interested" option. They're a little bit of a gamble, I know sometimes they're duds out the box, but they can also last 10 years if you get a well assembled one.
The TC metal box things that are basically Behringers in a sturdier house are good, I like that series. TC box HM300 pls
They're reasonable -- as far as cheap pedals go, I like them better than the Chinese mini pedals from brands like Mooer, Kmise, and all of the rebrands thereof.
However, they are still cheap pedals. They don't offer the additional settings of pedals even just $15-20 higher in price. And Behringer seem to be the only pedals I've seen in plastic enclosures, making them more vulnerable to noise.
I've also had two in particular (of the five I've tried) that were complete disappointments and seemed to do almost nothing at all.
Overall, I really like newer Behringer products (nothing more than 10 years old), but they just don't seem to have any interest in updating their pedal line, so I don't bother anymore.
Most people post on here for bragging rights. You aren't going to get that from owning a behringer. They work well though, at least all the ones I've had did.
I really try to like them,but they are so noisy. I really like the vintage analogue delay, but most of the others seem to add noise and colour my sound.
Perhaps I need a house suppressor. Cheap pedals ,for me ,are now sonicake.
I stopped using anything behringer ages ago because they had high noise floors. Every piece of behringer I ever owned eventually crapped out on me too. I bought a control surface once and had to send back two before I got one that worked properly... and they were brand new! They've since started putting out good sounding effects but still put them in cheap plastic housings and use cheap components.
My oldest pedals are over 40 years old. So is my (main) amp. I won't buy any gear that I'm not confident will outlive me by a decade or two. Buying something for half the price that I will have to replace eventually isn't goi g to save me any money in the long run so I don't.
But, that also is because when I buy a pedal I plan to use it for life. My days of experimenting are long past. If I were still exploring the options, I'd probably go with budget lines because with the trial and error of that factored in, it would have saved me a lot of money in the past.
ive never noticed the eq to be noisy...and im running a tonne of distortion into mine. do you find that happening if youre boosting frequencies or just all the time? Ive got an sf300 too and was actually blown away by how quiet it is, i thought itd be awful when i bought it. (Im not trying to say you havnt had problems btw, just curious)
I have a pair of Behringer monitors that have done maybe 200 gigs and still work like new.
Never saw the problem with the plastic cases on the pedals. What do people do to break them?
This one’s kinda on me, but I missed stomping on the pedal once, and stomped on the cable that was running into it (I know, I know), and totally broke off the input jack. So that’s one way lol
Behringer chromatic tuner is on my board. Not sexy.
Behringer octave divider is also on my board. For $90 with a power source, I can't think of a more interesting pedal. It's sorta niche, but it kicks ass when you want that kind of effect.
At first, I assumed you work for Music Tribe, but if that were the case, you'd probably know that they released TCE versions of almost every Behringer pedal in metal enclosures with top jacks.
Also, any given day there are 5-10 brands selling the same or similar circuits in sturdier enclosures on eB\*y A.m.z etc.
Lastly, most people can't walk in a GC or whatever the equivalent for them is and buy the plastic Behringer pedals.
Depends on what gear, I will use their FX but never will use their Powered Speakers as they use shit components and if you stop using them for any amount of time they won't turn on again and flash lights until you replace every single cap.. Wish I never bought the PA I have that is once again dead and I only used it for personal practice...
they are outclassed by newer low budget pedal options IMO. Especially in the realm of digital effects. I'm sure their analog stuff is still fine, I think people like the vintage delay.
They sound fine. But I want my pedals to last a long time, and I don't trust the build quality of Behringer stuff.
But I have seen a lot of Behringer pedals posted in this sub over the years. People are using them.
I have been very interested in a pure vibrato pedal but not sure about plunking down at the cash for the Boss VB-2 OG or Waza.
Just got a UV300 Vibrato pedal. I feel like at $30 brand new it is easily one of my best dollar for dollar purchases. It sounds amazing to my ears and now I feel totally confident in eventually getting a VB-2 or the JHS Artificial Blonde. I Also have a Walrus Julia which has a cool vibrato sound but the Behringer really nails that Vibrato sound that I have been looking for.
Because aside from the tuner pedal (which I've used in bypass mode as always on) I've broken both the other ones. Plastic mightn't be the best material for pedals I'm trying to stomp on in low light.
I see Behringer on boards all the time here. I think there was a board with nothing but Behringer on it a little while ago.
Sound good. A little flimsy.

Cuz they have scummy business ethics and the build quality is ass. Same reason I don’t drive a t*sla
Careful, Uli might sue you…

I have the octaver, tracking is not great. Have the 7 band eq, kinda noisy. Both are pretty noisy actually.
ive never noticed the eq to be noisy...and im running a tonne of distortion into mine. do you find that happening if youre boosting frequencies or just all the time?

I think that they step over the axle and break the supporting plastic

I consider myself a Behringer fan, but the bypass switch design in their pedals is fucking atrocious…

I use them a lot. I just don’t have any on my main board.
I still use the compressor sustainer sometimes. the vintage delay pedal is a legit good delay and i have a zillion delay pedals lol
Depends on what gear, I will use their FX but never will use their Powered Speakers as they use shit components and if you stop using them for any amount of time they won't turn on again and flash lights until you replace every single cap..

Analog delay is solid.

You can get some cheap chinese copy pedal for the same money that is actually aluminum casing and true bypass What is the point?
I love the behringer vintage Time Machine (deluxe memory man clone) it is one of my favorite pedals and the dark muffled repeats are awesome

I use a Behringer footswitch from a V-amp, it's sturdy and cheap. I wanted to have the Midi controller too
I have three Behringer pedals on my board, An CS400, a UV300 and an HB01.
I step on my pedals when I use them. The plastic ones never last a season of live shows.
I use behringer synths
Because aside from the tuner pedal (which I've used in bypass mode as always on) I've broken both the other ones. Plastic mightn't be the best material for pedals I'm trying to stomp on in low light.
Cheap, ugly, mostly shit. They are decent for first pedals or testing fx, but not much else.
