6 behringer pedals later.....

Post by **wiss** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 6:01 am

I didnt place this in the review section, I am sure someone may have a question or two.

1. Vintage Distortion~ not bad, good clone of the big muff I presume, I've never met a distortion pedal I've loved. Rather just razor blade a small cheap amp.

2. Vintage Phasor~ Good E.H. Small Stone clone worth the $25 bucks I paid

3. Vintage Bass Dual Dymamic Filter~ I am assuming this is a clone of the E.H. Bass Balls. Good on bass not much else.

4. Vintage Delay VD400~ I am going to assume Boss DM-2 clone, this is a very good delay pedal. Very short but very good, could have it followed by a dd-3 for longer delays if need be

5. Filter Machine FM600 ~ reminds of the maxon auto filter and ibanez auto filter. I think its has greater range than the maxon but not as "deep" or a bit "thinner"...$25 shipped, I really cant complain

6. Bass Synthesizer BSY600~ I paid $25.00 shipped, I did a side by side with the Boss SYB-5. The BSY600 has much more character and a lot more dirtier than the SYB-5. I sent the side by side to "Blue Monster" and he also felt the BSY600 was the better pedal.

so it supposed to be very nice then..I wonder how is it compared to the SYB-3.

h**l yes!

I agree with wiss that the VD400 is a great delay for the money. Sounds nothing like a digital delay, much more low-fi and characterful. The only real snag is the rather short delay time (300 ms), but for a $25 pedal can you really complain?

I still can't believe Behringer are pumping out real analogue pedals for nothing whilst BOSS are charging an arm and a leg for more and more digital emulations.

you guys know of any online retailers that are carrying all those behringer pedals yet? know MF & sam ash aren't.

Heh, heh VD400, VD1, if Behringer ever puts out a drum machine they should call it The Clap.

I'd be curious to hear if anyone's tried Behringer's Vintage Time Machine; it's supposed to be a Memory Man clone.

The BSY600 for $25? They are generally a good bit more, right?

welcome back, btw

Here are some of them.

I've also had good luck bartering with Ebay stores who have the "Buy It Now or Best Offer" option. Low-ball them to start and go from there; it might take a few e-mails back and forth, but you can frequently get a very good price.

Wiss, can you add your reviews to the "Effects Review" sticky thread, please.

Thanks,
Jim

Anybody try the pitch shifter?

Do these really sound good?
I never heard anything from beringer that sounded any good.
I might have to buy a few just to check it out. An analogue delay for that cheap is tempting.
