Behringer's first analog modeling amp is bound to become a staple for guitarists of all musical styles, whether for practice, warm-up, rehearsal, or recording. It's also a natural for recording studios and engineers that like to have their own personal arsenal of amps to ensure optimal results no matter what the band brings along.
With 3 amp models, 3 modes and 3 speaker simulations, all based on pure analog circuitry with no digital components, the GM110 gives you 27 various authentic basic tones, supported by an original Jensen speaker and the revolutionary Dynamizer circuitry. All in a compact, rugged combo, at the price of a good stomp box.
For additional sound-shaping power, the straight-ahead top panel with its attractive V-Tone-style knobs sports a drive control, a powerful and extremely musical 3-band EQ and a level control next to the 3 slide switches for amp, mode and speaker selection. Further, the GM110 features a serial effects loop for outboard processors or effects and a professional, balanced DI out with an XLR connector and a ground lift switch, which delivers the full preamp sound including all amp, mode, speaker, drive, EQ and level settings for recording applications or connection of an external power amp, plus a speaker out which automatically mutes the internal speaker.
In keeping with the tonal concept of Behringer's first analog modeling amp, they gave it a rugged enclosure with authentic black vinyl covering, oversized chrome steel corners and classy tweed grill cloth. As with all of their combos, the GM110 also features a generously proportioned power supply that won't buckle under when you crank it up.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"This was my first experience with zZounds. I had a question and was pleasantly surprised to reach a real human being immediately when I called. The service was exceptionally courteous and comprehensive. Thank you." - customer on January 22nd, 2012
Sound:
Very versatile range of tones out of this (pretty good too). I've used it many time for recording as well as live situations and always been very pleased. Both guitar and bass sound really nice running direct to the board.
Feature:
I LOVE the fact that you can run it direct (very unique feature in this price ragne). I constantly use this feature at my church which has some serious acoustical issues in the auditorium. If you plug a 1/4" into the headphone jack, it will shut off the speaker while still giving full functionality to the XLR out. This feature lets you get a great tone through the mains without having to worry about high stage volume. It'll make your sound guy very happy and help produce a great overall mix. Also - the different amp modeling features are really nice.
Quality:
Never had a problem. It's always been good to me.
Value:
I bought mine 2 1/2 years ago (it's the GM110 Vintager, which they don't "technically" make anymore, but they are exactly the same except for a silver grill cloth and chrome metal instead of black beneath the knobs), and it still proves itself over and over again. I can't believe that an amp this cheap can do so much and do it so well.
The Wow Factor:
It looks good. Actually I like mine with the silver cloth better :-). I took all the badging off the front, and it looks really sharp. After seeing and hearing it people have asked me what it is more than once.
Overall:
The only two things that this lacks are reverb, and the ability to switch the gain settings from a foot switch. But c'mon - for this price I will never complain especially since this is not an issue at all when recording, and there are plenty of great stomp boxes out there. I don't see any reason to ever replace this thing. You can keep lugging around that oversized halfstack if you want to, but I'll carry this little guy in comfortably with one had, stick a mic in front of it or run it direct, and no one will ever know the difference.

"Does it get pretty loud for a 30 watt amp? You bet!"
Sound:
It sounds pretty loud for a 30 watt amp. Sounds good too. My oldy-but-goody 50 watt Vox has nothing over this one.
Feature:
It has a volume knob that allows you to turn it up pretty loud for a 30 watt amp. Many good features too.
Quality:
Behringer. Some people may have some less than remarkable experience with Behringer gear. But for the most, their gear is very high quality. Oh sure (and for example), I had a Mercedes once that lost its muffler, but it got fixed. OK you people who bash Behringer?
Value:
I plug my Jackson into this thang, and I forget it's just a 30 watt amp. I imagine I am playing through my Twin Reverb (turned down of course) without the reverb. That's value. For the dollar. Dang! This thang has no reverb? Now go get an out-board reverb.
Manufacturer Support:
Why, this amp supports me beautifully while I sit on it and get a free massage (when it's turned up all the way, and, is pretty loud for a 30 watt amp). Love that good-ole' Jensen speaker. Remember those from the 70's? No? Well dry behind those ears.
The Wow Factor:
This amp looks good for a 30 watt amp. No, really. It is nicely packaged. I don't know how those guys do it for 99 doluhs.
Overall:
As long as the cable from my Gibson to the amp holds up, I should keep this amp. Or, I could get a new cable, worst case. I say, you really have nothing to loose (I mean, what's 99 bucks these days?) in trying this amp on for size. And, it gets pretty loud. . . for a 30 watt amp.
Style of Music: Jeff Beck is not my hero, but Frank Zappa is.
