Feature:
It has nice effects. Some people say they suck but i think they sound fine. I don't know about the footswitch. I don't use it.

Quality:
Its really strong. I've built a lot of stuff and i know the constuction is built to last. I haven't had any problems with it so far. I don't think i ever will either.

Value:
For the price, nothing is better.

Sound:
You can get a lot of sounds out of it. Its loud. It gets a little poppy when turned up loud, but im sure its just my amp cable. I only gave it a 9 instead of a 10 because iv only played like 6 amps, so i dont feel that i can honestly give it a 10.

Ease of Use:
Its really easy to use. For some songs you have to mess around a little to get the perfect sound but i dont think that pulls it down to 9. All you have to do is plug and play. Really simple, just so much to choose from.

Support:
I have never needed it so i will give a 10 just for the heck of it.

Overall:
I dont think ill get another amp as long as this one works. So ill keep some money a long time. If theyre still around when i get ready for another one i will get another gmx212.

Feature:
Quite many effects but they're useless because like i already said it sounds like crap.

Quality:
Would be satisfied but the speakers aren't good and there's always this noise in the gain mode

Value:
price is ok. you can't expect too much for 250 $

Desirability:
I think nobody who's ever played it would want it.

Sound:
It sounds really terrible! Get a tube amp.

Ease of Use:
It's easy to use though

Support:
never had to deal with support

Feature:
features suck so i bought a DIGITECH RP80 for some good effects

Quality:
ive had it for 2 years and not 1 problem with it

Value:
got it forr $500 with a guitar off of a friend

Desirability:
looks nice

Sound:
i get a mean metal sound out of it by cranking the gain and fliping all those little switches up.

Ease of Use:
dude . if you cant get a good sound out of it you shouldnt be playing guitar

Support:
never had to call them and i hope i never have to

Overall:
i like the loudness and i hate the footswitch

Quality:

awesome

Sound:
the sound is great but some of the effects arent rite.

all u have 2 do is dial up an effect and its coming through the speakers.

Feature:
It can only memorize two settings at a time, which was a drag. The effects did sound good though.

Quality:
I've had it for about a year and the plugs and knobs are a little loose, but other than that it still works just fine. Oh yeah, the effects part of the footswitch stopped working, but I believe thats due to the plug in the back and not the actual switch.

Value:
Its a great product for the price. I've used it in practice and performance and it worked out well. If you're looking into professional music you should upgrade though.

Desirability:
It looks like a great seat, which it is=)

Sound:
Sounds absolutely fabulous clean. It has a rich and solid tone. Unfortunately, the more distorted it gets, the more the richness goes away.

Ease of Use:
If you can use your brain, you can use this amp. All the buttons are labeled and its clear. The tone knobs help you change the sound to what you want very easily.

Support:
I haven't used it.

Overall:
I'll probably use this amp until it breaks. I'm used to it and I can't afford another. I've performed, practiced, and recorded with it and got most of what I wanted out of it. I was satisfied.

Feature:
the amp, mode, and speaker modeling all works well with the 99 preset effects combo's, which can in turn be adjusted by the effects mix knob. the built in tuner i have yet to try, but is accessed via the INCLUDED foot switch.

Quality:
having a construction background, i appreciate good craftmanship. the wood frame appears to be 5/8" thick, and feels very solid and well built. i wont have to break anyones legs if they try stage diving off my amp. i'm sure it would withstand the abuse.

Value:
best $260 i've spent in a very long time.

Desirability:
and got it.

Sound:
with 3 amp, mode, and speakers models each, and 99 present effects combo's, it was quick and easy to find sound that made me sit down a play. the 'tweed' amp model a nice tube amp, while the 'californian' paired with 'high gain' or 'hot' mode are guaranteed to keep you shredding.

Ease of Use:
i've always been a 'look at the pictures,' rather than a 'read the instructions,' type of guy. sitting down in front of this thing with guitar slung going through the effects and modeling types was not only easy but fun. with all the effects though, you will want to keep the manual nearby until you print up a cheat sheet.

Support:
can't rate at this time, as i just got this item, and have yet to deal with the manufacturer.

Overall:
i think this will keep me happy until i can get a half stack, and when i do get that have stack, it will be the behringer, and will be plugged into this amp.

Feature:
compared to other amps? that come with accessories? not! buy a nice name brand head and see what you get besides a $1000+ price tag.

Quality:
not built with tank parts. dont bash the plastic knobs, they break very easily when you hit them with a hammer. i bought them cuz they were very cost effective. WHEN one of them breaks, i might get something else to try, so far, i have to use them, they just keep on working...........

Value:
go out and buy a few other amps and tell me which ones are a better buy. Whoopla! Whoopla! I've been in sales. It's actually easier to seel higher priced stuff, people just dont accept it when they find a cheap anything that actually works. If Behringer merely doubled their prices, some fools would say the quality went up......

Desirability:
i have 2, gave one away,

Sound:
limited to 3 amp models. for any money, this is a wonderful buy. Behringer should do blindfold sound tests. Would be embarassing for the snobs who must have vintage electronics........ most of the music today wouldnt know the difference between ANY of them.

Ease of Use:
verrry simple. way simpler than Wiitard for example, and the kids dont seemt to have a problem with that....

Support:
have purchased 3 of these due to the utility/$$$.. one had a bad power supply. Behringer support gave me a new amp, service shop was local. seemed simple enough.

Overall:
for a combo. Maybe if you learn to play better, the amp will respond. Hey you're going to patch a 1/2 dozen boxes together and play geetar with your feet anyway, so why spend a fortune on a perfect amp that you are going to mangle the sound of anyway? But that means the sound ist there. It's all there. I like the 4/12 emulation with the "california" boogie sound, and set the gain/master to get the distortion I want. The mid and hi gain settings are outrageous.

Feature:
Tons of effects, not enough time spent on quality.

Quality:
Terrible quality. Input jack broke within a week. Rest of the board fried two days later after using the line in on the back.

Value:
Great value, if you get lucky. I didn't.

Desirability:
Looks good, Sounds okay, built terrible.

Sound:
Sounded okay, effects were terrible.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play

Support:
Ive never met such terrible support. Called them and talked to someone who sounded like they we're trying to talk above a TV. Looked through the website for a vendor to replace my item, 60% of the dealers listed on the site do not carry any of their products.

Overall:
Im very disappointed in behringer. I was really expecting a lot more out of them. A true bummer.

Feature:
It comes with a stock footswitch, which doubles as the switch for the tuner. The tuner is easy to use, and saves a lot of time, since you don't have to deal with carrying a tuner around with you. I like the knobs and grille as well, and i say this having been a Fender fanatic for quite some time.

Quality:
The amp is well built, and the tone coming from the Jensen speakers is unmistakeable. However, i discovered that the main input comes out when planed pressure is applied to it....by stepping on a cable by accident, but that problem is easily avoided by keeping cables out of the way. I will say, though, that the same incident happened on my Fender amp, and nothing budged.

Value:
You get way more than you pay for with this amp, and this price is great, especially considering that most amps in its size and class are upwards of $700.

Desirability:
It's a great amp, and it's extremely versatile, whether you play rock, blues, punk, funk, goth, metal, death, or even backup in a rap group. It's engineered well, and looks great. It's definitely a good investment.

Sound:
I have the slightly smaller (2x30w) version of this amp, but the tone and controls are exactly the same. The amp I had prior to this one was a Fender Champion, and i was looking for something equal in tone, but louder and fuller, and the Behringer delivered. The modeling settings are easy to use, and the clean settings are clear and undistorted, even at high volume. Also, my dad doesn't like me to blast my music, and it sounds great with the volume turned donwn, too. The only downside is that the "tweed" amp setting is a bit quiet, but it does well in low gain distortion.

Ease of Use:
All the controls are extremely easy to use, and it took me no time at all to get used to it. It was very easy for me to find tones that i like in all of the amp settings (tweed, british, and california). The manual is clear and easy to read, and it also comes in several languages.

Support:
I have not yet needed to contact them, and i don't think i will, but they have ample support networks in the U.S. and Europe.

Overall:
I think this product will last for a long time, and accommodate me in my high school's (reputable) jazz band, as well as in my blues band, and and other jamming or music making sessions of any kind. Compared to the other amps i played, this one runs with the leaders of the pack, side to side with Leo Fender and all his marvels. It gives you more sound, more options, and a better deal than all the alternatives. If you have a low budget, or if you're looking for a versatile amp that can take a beating and some serious playing, this is the product for you.

Feature:
has almost everything ive needed to gig. and there are many specially made behringer stomp boxs that can be routed into it for endless sounds.

Quality:
behringer is quality they are good at what they i like them and i will continue to buy nothing but a behringer amp. for under 250 theres no way you can go wrong.

Value:
gre4at for the money i searched for weeks for a amp under 250 with alot of features and this one is the only one.

Desirability:
of course i own it and i would buy another when this one has had it.

Sound:
geat fx but like everyone else said ther two much alike and theres so many you have to be a genius to memorize them all. but overall a perfect loud amp that is really hard to achieve a good clean sound but thats somthing a bit of chorus can fix if you know how to tweek it.

Ease of Use:
very hard to use so many adjustments and diffrent sounds but once you get a little experience in you will be fine.

Support:
behringer support is the best but beware the ups guy he will destroy it if you dont ship it over the weekend trust me he will anything.

Overall:
i will probobly never look any farther for a good quality amp and think you should do the same this amp is amazing just beware the ups guy.

Feature:
Excellent feature-set. Front panel is clean and functional, without any confusion. Two independent channels with Gain, Vol, and full EQ dial-set, can be individually tweaked and set with separate effects, and foot-switched. The three per-channel mode switches are immediately discernable once applied. There's a brief processor delay when rotating between effects ... may be occasionally annoying, but not a problem, since once you set an effect for a channel, you'll tend to leave it there for a while. Two-button footswitch for channel-switching and effects on/off. Note that Master Vol and Presence are global and thus not footswitchable. As with any Master Vol: best is to use it to set the "Ceiling" level, then adjust each channel vol and gain to suit. The rear panel is loaded with all the connector plugs you'll need for live play, recording, external cab & effects devices, and MIDI. (Tip: the amp has a single "mix" dial for adjusting some aspect of a given effect, usually to simply blend the effect with the dry signal. For serious live play or recording, you'll definitely want to consider hooking up a MIDI-enabled controller to increase playability. The Behringer MIDI floor board works for me, but others will suffice.)

Quality:
So far, so good. Everything worked when i bought it, and still does.

Value:
For the price, it delivers.

Desirability:
I like it .... 'nuf said.

Sound:
For the price, this amp has excellent tones and effects. The models work well for me, with both single coil and humbucker guitars. (HB's obviously beef-up the signal and produce a juicer result.) I can create a number of distinct, usable tones with this amp. The EQ section works well. Some have commented that the "Tweed" / "Clean" combination is 'too weak' .... don't be put off by that. A little tweaking with levels, gain and EQ, and you can arrive at a great clean tone. Good cleans are also available with other amp / cab / mode settings as well ... DON'T believe otherwise. There are a number of very usefull effects, from the various categories (reverbs, modulations, delays, etc.) The amp accepts front-end stomps, Slave In's, and FX connections quite well too. All in all, i'm a BIG fan of this amp .... a number of usable tones with on-board effects. Final note -- Cynical and/or immature players who are looking for, or expecting, some specific, particular sound will always be ready to bash an amp if it doesn't IMMEDIATELY offer-up that particular sound. To any of those i say: you need to UNDERSTAND what modeling IS, and to what end emulation is directed. PLUS ... consider the COST FACTOR. This amp is UNDER 300 dollars, for Christ Sake. If you want a Dumble, go bride Daddie for a loan and run to your nearest Dumble dealer! For the price you pay for this Behringer, the sounds are FANTASTIC..... end of story.

Ease of Use:
The amp itself is very easy, and intuitive, to use. It's feature-set is straightforward. It's patterned after typical multi-channel amp's, so you won't have any difficulty.

Support:
No opinion, thus far.

Overall:
I'm a big fan of Behringer. They're the "Common Man's" electronics company. They produce GOOD products that are EXtremely cost-effective, without hype and pomp. I have owned some "expensive" amps in my day (started playing 'seriously' back in 1971) .... Fenders, Marshalls, a Mesa .... you know the tune. Each brand gives you their version of "distinctive." The thing about modeling is to 'emulate' ("fake") existing amps and effects ... and hence to be cost-effective. This is the hallmark of the "digital era". Personally i think it's off-course to directly compare a modeled rig with a "real" rig and conclude that it doesn't sound right 'cos it's "fake", or it's a "model". That's the WHOLE POINT .... the objective is to be cost-effective in providing usable tones and sounds. The "Pro's" use high-end equipment because they've spent a long career invested in creating their 'signature' sounds, and they can afford it. On the other hand, i'm a "Common Man" with a family and a mortgage ... i'd rather be 70% - 80% "spot-on" with a sound, and save thousands of dollars for my son's college investment. If you're a true career player, then you've got a different perspective. Regardless though, Behringer stands as a bastion of cost-effective quality, and this amp is heads above many other modelled .... and 'real' ... amp's, that i've played / owned.
