Behringer GM110 V-Tone Modeling Guitar Amplifier (30 Watts, 1x10 in.)
1 x 10 in. speaker. 3-band EQ. Direct out.
"Stop reading, and put this in your cart. NOW!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:It came very well-packed, double-packed in fact. Comes with manuals in every language spoken in these here parts and then some. But this is not a box with fifty-six switches and knobs. You got yer gain, bass, mid, treble, and volume. All chickenhead knobs, all smooth as buttah. Three small switches control the gain, cab type, and speaker type. One big bat switch (which feels VERY substantial when ya use it) and a real jewel light tells you when it's on, or off, depending on your mood. And a power cord. These guys think of everything. Awesome silver cloth grille and 60s/70s retro look has everyone wanting to try it when they walk in the house.
Quality:
Pristine out of the box. I've never been so jazzed up about seeing an amp in my life. Even the wife digs it (she's a drummer). By the way, the 30 watts cut thru her thrashings just fine, thank you. Fun to make the snare buzz when she's at the kit just by nudging the low E with the gain up.
Value:
What, it's not in your cart yet? You're scared your significant other will find out? Buy the damn thing! He/she/it (I'm an open-minded guy) will dig you immensely for it.
Desirability:
Chicks will fall at your feet. If you're a guy, or a girl into girls, this is a good thing. Seriously, if you are into recording, small venues, or just farting around with the guitar at home and playing what you like, you'll love this amp. It's simple, solid, and has surprising flexibility. Just don't expect DOD distortion from it without a pedal, it ain't gonna happen. My stepson has a Casino, when plugged into this amp, will make your eyes roll back in your head from musical tonal bliss. Forget explaining it. Just try it.
Sound:
The reviews on here had me saying, "gee, this might be a pretty decent amp". Then, I bought it. For $99, you should buy the damned thing already, then finish reading my review. You will NOT be sorry. The tone is stunning. When I first plugged in and switched on, the lows growl and you can FEEL them. The clarity, superb, the cab simulations and effects, sublime. It's something you have to work with at first. But you won't believe your ears. One note: if you like the alternacrap music that dominates today's airwaves, don't waste your time here. Get something loud and distorted. Plenty of companies make such gear. When the fad passes and people start to appreciate real musical craftsmanship and songwriting again, you can then appreciate this fine example of amplification.
Support:
I registered the amp and Behringer immediately responded with nice emails, and some fun info. You gotta read the manual, it's pretty funny. Whoever builds these amps, when you read the manual, you get the idea they like to party. A LOT.
Overall:
It's a keeper. You grungemongers and people who refer to such bands as Linkin Park as musicians, forget it. It's wasted on that kind of garbage. If you value tone, clarity, stability, and performance, you cannot beat this amp, dollar-costwise. It does have an effects loop, so if you absolutely MUST plug in something to it, you have a dry signal out, and also a wet signal in. Nice. Find another $99 amp that does all this and sounds this good, and looks this sweet. I dare ya. Then again, why waste your time? You are here, get this amp and get started playing.
"Does it get pretty loud for a 30 watt amp? You bet!"
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.
Desirability:
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.
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.
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.
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.

"great amp for the "real world""
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.
Desirability:
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.
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.
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.

"Nice little combo."
Feature:
Reverb is all it needs to be perfect but my zoom ps-02 solves that problem. For low volume home use it is perfect. I had the GX212 Ultra-Twin and sold it because it was too much amp for me at home. I found myself twiddling around with the all the parameters and effects more than just playing. This amp has no scrollng through effects just three switches and 5 knobs and that is plenty for me to shape my tones.
Quality:
Ive had it for 18 months and no problems.
Value:
No question about it. It is a great value.
Desirability:
I own it.
Sound:
My american series strat likes the most of the settings and my cheap oscar schmidt 335 copy (another great value) really loves the the tweed clean setting. I also play my zoom ps-02 through it on the tweed clean flat setting with all the knobs set at 12:00 and it sounds terrific.Perfect for home use and has plenty of connectabilty to make it usable in most situations.It has just enough controls to play around with but not too many where you can get lost. I wish it had reverb.
Support:
They will replace any unit that is defective at the place of purchase.
Overall:
Behringer has hit a home run with this amp because of it`s simplicity and price. Tech 21 made it first and thiers has reverb but at almost 3 times the cost. Behringer copied it for good reason. Behringer is committed to bringing affordable quality gear to the consumer. I have checked out numerous other brands low cost units and they offer you crap for twice the cost of this lttle box. I am thinking about the V-Ampire 1x12 combo next because of the same simple to use beauty.But really, I love this amp.

"The Best Practice Amp Available"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Gave it an 8 here because it does not have all of the knobs that other models have, but then again, you really don't need much more than what it comes with for a practice amp.
Quality:
Gave it an 8 because it looks very well made, but I haven't had it long so I sure hope it lasts a long time.
Value:
You can not find a better amp for this price. I would have expected to pay around $200 dollars for an amp with these sounds/features.
Desirability:
The best practice amp for the money.
Sound:
The UK and Tweed models are darn near spot on. Plug this baby in and within minutes you can get some really nice, recognizable tones. My favorite is UK amp and speaker model clean all settings on 5, switch to hi gain and it really rocks. Gave it a 9 because it's not the original, but sounds very good especially for the money.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. You'll be rockin within minutes.
Overall:
Gave it a 10 overall because as I said before, I have never seen an amp produce such quality sound for this price.
"$99? Who could ask for more?"
Feature:
Could use another input. Tweed clean lacks volume.
Quality:
very well made.
Value:
$99? Could not be better spent on an amp.
Desirability:
It looks great, a classic visual impact. Exudes quality.
Sound:
I have a sunn sceptre, I know the tube sound. This comes amazingly close.
Support:
Have not dealt with them.
Overall:
My '72 strat loves it. I will seek opportunity to try the other Behringer amps. I like most the tube overdriven sound. I like least the low volume of the clean settings. For $99 I am convinced you couldn't do better.

Behringer GM110 Vintager Customer Review
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:I really like how you can get many settings. It allows so many tones and offers a wide range of settings.
Quality:
the input plug is getting loose, but other than that, it works perfect
Sound:
The sound is good, it tends to have a lot of mid-range sound, but you can get a TON of settings out of this thing. It doesn't do to well with my Rock distortion pedal, but the built in distortion is good enough for practicing with the band, etc. It gets pretty loud... all the way up, it's about as loud as a 120 watt half stack turned half-way up :P so maybe good for small gigs in a restaurant or Coffee shop.
Ease of Use:
a little difficult to get used to, trying to find the right setting and such, but after a while, it's really easy.
"HOLY CRAP!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality:This amp is nearly indestructible. I have had doors shut on it, and have hit this into many other hard objects, and you could not tell.
Value:
Definently worth the 70 bucks. Amazing little amp.
Desirability:
I wish that the Controls were on the front.
Sound:
The sound is nice, but I only use 2 of the Modeling settings.
Ease of Use:
It is really easy to get what you want out of this amp. Very much worth the money.
Support:
Haven't dealt with.
Overall:
I will keep this for a loooooooooong time.
"Alot of power and features for a little price."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality:Seems like everything is made very good. I have'nt had it long so time will tell. I feel that if I take care of it, it will last me for a good while.
Value:
The amp had more stuff on it than I really needed to play a harmonica on, but after looking into new and used amps this one could not be beat for the price. It was cheaper than smaller used ones!
Desirability:
Looks really good with the black leather and chrome.
Sound:
This amp can sound any way you want! The different amp types are great.
Support:
No problems yet.
Overall:
This amp will probally do me for the duration. If it was stolen I would not hesitate to buy another.
"heavenly tone in a classy well made amp for around a c note!!!!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:real world useful controls, not just a bunch of silly-cyber nonsense, a real jensen speaker, my god the speaker is worth the 99 dollars, reverb would be nice, however with the xlr out to a board this is no real issue in a live setting.
Quality:
outstanding quality, very classy looking, a true sleeper, but not for long i suspect.
Value:
the absolute best value in the entire amp market.
Desirability:
i want this amp like a miner wants gold, the local store wants list, i do not do list on anything so.....
Sound:
i have been playing 40 years and have had "vintage" amps when they were new, this amp is outstanding!!!, i have never played any style but blues and this thing gives me all i could want from any amp at any price.
Support:
have had other products from these guys and never a hint of trouble ever.
Overall:
i am sick of carring heavy old amps around, i don't buy into the vintage thing, in my day we called that stuff used. ran across this amp when i went to buy a guitar, can't see any reason for me to use anything else, i have to have one and at 99 bucks i would buy this amp if stolen or catches fire, whatever... it is a wonderful world we live in when this kind of thing comes along. i predict it will scare the other major amp companys to death.
