Feature:
Very nice selection of tones. Only thing I wish it had was reverb.

Quality:
Again, for less than a price of a stomp box I expected a real el-cheapo product -well it isn't.

Value:
This is an amazing value for a practice amp. It is not an amp for jamming or playing with a band.

Desirability:
You can't go wrong for the money.

Sound:
I couldn't believe an amp that cost less than a stomp box would sound this good. I own two vintage tube amps - a 50watt and 100watt, which are useless for practicing at home. This amp sounds GREAT and doesn't give my wife a migraine.

Support:
No need.

Overall:
I am a pro bass player who plays guitar for fun. Have a 1,400 watt bass rig - try practicing with that at home! I have had a Hartke B20 practice amp for the bass sitting under a coffee table for 5 years. The Behringer fits under the same coffee table with room to spare. Now I can practice the guitar or bass whenever I want - perfect.

Feature:
Great features on this little "can-do" amp. The various settings--you can combine to select over 30--create mood and sounds that aren't available on most other amps, no matter what the size and cost. This little guy touts itself as a "true analog modeling amp," and it truly is (usually that marketing stuff is just hype). I love the ability to play CDs through it while I jam--excellent for practice, and in my case to help my students sing along (I am tone deaf). I have only been using it for a month, but the components have been fine; I have been using a Behringer Eurodesk soundboard for 2 years with little trouble, if that's an indicator.

Quality:
It is a great looking, and seemingly very solid, little amp. Only a month in, I think it will last a long time. On the road, it would be a practice/hotel room amp; it was not really designed for stage use, but it is rugged and will hold up well.

Value:
About 60 bucks for a quality little amp--it's about time!!!

Desirability:
I get great comments from eveyone who sees it--musicians like the way it llks as much as the way it sounds.

Sound:
Excellent sound for an amp of this size. I use it for practice, in my classroom (I'm a 5th grade teacher), and on stage--miked through the sound system. I play rock, praise music, and American classics/folk music, so I require versatility--and does this amp ever have it!! I run a Korg synth, a Kurzweil SP, and electric guitars through it, and it handles whatever I throw its way with poise and power. 15 watts never sounded so good to me.

Support:
Behringer is about like every other large company--I hate them all equally! Make sure you get a good dealer is my advice. I have not needed to contact this company, however.

Overall:
Overall, this is a great amp for the price, and if I have to, I will replace it with the same product. It has all I need for the many uses I require, and the sound is excellent--from nasty to sweet at the flick of a front-placed switch.

Feature:
Very heavy duty components and knobs. well made. useful features include amp changers, speaker changers,drive,low,mid,high, and master volume, Headphone jack, and a CD input.

Quality:
heavy duty. Made well. It will probably last a lifetime if you don't beat it up.

Value:
Very good value. worth it.

Desirability:
It dosent look like a big deal when you are looking at it on the computer or on a catologe. it is amazing in person.

Sound:
Sound is incredible. With this amp you can change the sound to a killer lead sound, to a warm bluesy sound, to a bright acoustic sound. Verry useful. Responds well to effects.

Ease of Use:
There are premade settings that come in the user manual that are very useful. once you get used to this product it is easier to switch the sound type. there are many different settings.

Support:
the company's service number is available. No problems yet.

Overall:
As i Said

Feature:
it could use reverb but if you dial in your sweet spot you probably won't miss it.

Quality:
great quality

Value:
good value, the amp is really worth about 80 bucks I would say

Desirability:
This amps best feature is it's killer price. The distortion is more versatle than amps like the Roland microcube which I also own. The microcube has great reverb but the distortion on this amp is more variable and flexible.

Sound:
This shares similar sound characteristics of the other Behringer V-tones, tube emulation circutry which gives the amp a warm tone. If you have some effects to add on tube emulation circutry is not needed or desired as it "colors the sound". Acually if you want to add on effects like a zoom 505 or other amp simulator it's best to buy an amp without this feature. This amp like all the other V-tones is weak on clean tone....it's necessary to raise the gain up to the middle position to get any acceptable volume, just lower the amps drive when you do this. Also The Behringer v-tones have this thumping percussive effect when you hit the strings with your pick. I have never heard anyone comment on this before but it is there. My GMX110 V-tone amp does this also.

Overall:
This is a killer amp. It needs to be louder on the clean channel just like all the other V-tone amps.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Of course, the real selling feature of this amp is the ability to switch amp models, which is unique in an amp of this price range, so it gets big points for that, and for having l-m-h tone knobs, though those are becoming standard in this class. But as I say in the SOUND section, the modeling options are not on a par with full-fledged amp modelers which have built-in effects. So, if it's definitely a practice amp you need, this is the way to go, but you are better off spending a little more and getting either a better amp or a modeler.

Quality:
This amp seems really solid, but I own lots of Behringer stuff and one thing I know about them is they use a lot of plastic on the inside. The 1/4" jacks on my V-ampire are plastic and the input crumbled instantly under a little strain. Also, having had to take apart three different Behringer items, I can tell you that they really love GLUE (they pour it all over everything inside to keep stuff in place, so replacing parts gets to be a fun three hours of scraping and pulling), and in the case of my V-ampire, the holes were so mismatched between the chassis and the case, it took THREE adults almost an hour to get the screws back in, two twisting and squeezing the cab while the other tried to get the screws in. Of course, at this price, the GM108 is virtually disposable.

Value:
When placed in comparison with other amps this size, this is definitely a good value. The only one I've seen that might compare would be the smallest Randall, but I've not had a chance to hear it personally and have read mixed things about it.

Desirability:
I really wanted this one specifically for the modeling, but that has turned out to be a bit disappointing.

Sound:
Ironically, the amp sounds better through headphones than through the speaker; but if you don

Size doesn't matter... this thing is awesome as a practice amp... it doesn't need to be blasted at all. Fits easily in most overhead compartments.

Sound:
This amp has such a wide range of distortion sounds... rich, classic rock grunge, punk, it can be used for any style. The clean is full. I wouldn't change a thing.

Feature:
The features are basic, High,med, low, volume, but the reason it got a 9, is becuase of the Equalizer, its truley something you want if you have some money laying around. But it didn't get a 10 becuase of no treble and bass. Sure you can do it with H/M/L but i prefer the T/B knobs.

Quality:
Its pretty good. For this price. It has a good headphone jack.

Value:
Best Value EVER. Cheap, Lots of features for this price. Great sound, easy, just something awesome.

Desirability:
Sure it may not LOOK Sexy, but it IS sexy.

Sound:
The sound is really good. Oh, the best thing ever, is the equalizer. It's just amazing :)

Support:
I dont know.

Overall:
The Best.

Feature:
I wish it had reverb, but again its a great amp for the price.

Quality:
Ive beat this thing up for 3 years and it still works great. It is so durable.

Value:
I wish there was an 11. The best value ever.

Desirability:
I beginner would want it but its defienetly not for a more adanced player.

Sound:
For its price it has a great crunch and incredible clean.

Ease of Use:
its got labeled knobs and switches, its not that hard to figure out.

Support:
The company has horrible support. When my wah-wah broke it was impossible to get through to support, and when i did, they werent even that helpful, I had to fix it on my own.

Overall:
I expect to give this to my brother once I get my Line 6. But its a great beginner amp.
