Behringer GMX212 Guitar Combo Amplifier (2x60 Watts, 2x12 in.)
True Analog Modeling. 2 Independent Channels. 27 Modeled Sounds. FX Processor.
"This is a great amp at an incredible price."
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.

"Not what i thought it was, but everything i was looking for."
Quality:
I"m gonna rate this one a 7 because, i can't honestly give it a 10 yet i've only owned it a few hours, not many things go wrong that soon, but as the typical problems seem to be, the knobs do feel rather cheaply built, i'll just have to take extra precautions when transporting it.
Value:
Ok when i bought this amp, i bought it out of necessity, not desire, honestly i wanted a Marshall or a Mesa (yeah right, like i could afford that) I was playing alot (and i mean alot) with my youth at church, and in my church, and the only amp i had was a crate xt15 15watt practice amp, luckily my processor had 2 line outs so i ran one to the amp for a personal monitor and the other to a DI box and into the house system. To make a long story short, i needed more power and desperatly, it was within my price range so I grabbed it, probably a little pre-maturely at the time, but i don't regret it now, i'm glad i went with my instincts.
Desirability:
I can't really say "i wanted it" cause as i mentioned before, i was desperate and bought the most powerfull amp i could find on a budget, appearance didn't matter, economics mattered. But it is a rather attractive amp.
Sound:
Ok first of all i love it, i only rated it a 9 because it's too easy for someone to just rate 10 on everything and make it look better than it really is. I love the sound quality, much better than what i expected.
Ease of Use:
Ok i had to give this one a 10 cause, honestly when i first got it generally i didn't know how to operate all the features, but it didn't take 15 minutes and i was already on my way to setting each channel, and having no problems recreating the sounds from my processor.
Support:
Again a seven, still to early to tell, i haven't had to use them yet.
Overall:
Ok i'm gonna give it a 10 over all, cause when i first got it, and started messing with it, let's be honest, I thought i got ripped off, i didn't like the sound of it, i was dissapointed, but fortunately i didn't give up on it, i drug out the manual and started reading through it, and went back and played with the effects and EQ settings some more, and It really came to life at that point. My usual pedal setup is extremely extensive, i have about 8 or 9 stomp boxes, a Digitech GNX1 processor, and an Alesis Quadraverb GT rackmount processor, and a Furman powered pedal board. let's be honest that stuff gets HEAVY! and as i was searching through the effects, i was able to find every single sound that i use and adjust it to match my processors and pedals, exactly, and even found an effect that before i had to link 2 processors in line to get. It was just that simple, that all my messy pedals and processors, and tons of cables to link everything together, it was all simplified to just and amp, the footswitch, and a wah-wah pedal. At first it wasn't what i thought it was at all, but i didn't give up hope and it became everything I was actually looking for.

"cannot be beat for the price anywhere"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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.
"my 2 cents; buy it. BUY IT NOW!"

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.
"Perfect amp for any small gig or garage"
Feature:
Includes a easy to use pedal to change channles and switch to tuner and the tuner is very easy to use i love that u can alos hook um two 60 watt set of loudspeakers on each side in the pack so it acts like a head for a half stack

"buy one and find out."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:the sounds are great. the tuner is simple and effective. the ins and outs are awesome. they were one of the factors that made me buy this amp. the adjustable aux in is awesome. I can plug in my UB802 to it (an excellent value! buy one!) and run a microphone and acoustic guitar through it should i ever want to use it open mic-style. or use the insert return to run them through effects.
Quality:
built like a rock. but then again the first one came to me defective. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and judge only this second one in this category. the knobs could be recessed further, but i take care of my stuff anyway. sound quality is excellent.
Value:
this thing is worth way more than they're charging. especially since i got it while it was still $250. The thing is louder than i'll ever need, but if it wasn't, i'd just buy another one and play through both. I could be the edge.
Desirability:
Everybody who has heard, or played especially, loves this amp. The other guitarist in my band couldn't believe it was only $250. He's ordering one tomorrow. It even smells nice. I wish that those pine tree car freshners came in "new amp smell" so that when the smell in this one wore out i could put that in and keep it smelling how it does. I'd even put one in my car, so when other guitarists got in my car they'd say "mmmm, that smells like amp"
Sound:
the sound itself is great. cleans are great. distortions are great. in betweens are great. the few effects that i have used are great. i didn't buy this amp for effects so i don't care if some of them are bad. but i do wish that they were more easily adjustable. also if you are close to it with single coils it gets fairly noisy at high volumes. i switch to the two or four position on my strat copy to get feedback. volume-- five is ear bleeding loud with a strong distortion indoors. the clean is tricky, but i can get a perfectly clean sound and still keep up with drums. you have to play with the gain to get the amount of clean you want. My standard clean sound is tweed, high gain, drive around three.
Support:
i waited months for this amp. the first one they sent me had something loose inside and would make horrible scratching sounds--no matter how any of the knobs, inlcuding the master volume, were set. this company was great about sending me a new one. they shipped it the day i emailed them about the first one. 10 for them. 6 for behringer for making me wait months on end for a defective amp.
Overall:
This amp rocks. its biggest downfall for me has been that it takes quite a long time to switch between channels. and the volume drops in between. you push the footswitch, and the volume drops, the it switches and the volume comes back up. if it just switched i could learn to time it right. There's no reason they should make something this nice and have such a simple, stupid problem like that. Oh, and i wish the footswitch had leds so that i could see which channel was on and if the effects were on without turning around and looking at my amp. but these are very minor problems for such a fantastic product. i have been jumping around between topics so hopefully i didn't leave anything out and u wrote things in more or less the right categories. bottom line-- buy this.
"A must have for any guitar player, regardless of your style of music!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Having 2 channels is probably the best feature for me. I use one channel for my acoustic setup, and the other for electric. That saves me a lot of time switching settings around during recording/gigs. The included foot switch allows me to switch guitars and sounds by simply switching guitars and changing channels, and I never have to touch the amp. Each channel has its own volume control, so I can have clean acoustic settings on one channel, heavy distortion with hot pick up on the other, and I can balance the volume levels so when I switch channels, the level is still right.
Quality:
I have absolutely no complaints here. It is rugged and tough, and I haven't had any problems with it.
Value:
Excellent value and bang for the buck. This is one of the best modeling amps, in my opinion.
Desirability:
I am more concerned about performance than appearance, but it looks fine.
Sound:
I have owned this amp for about 2 years now, and I am very pleased with it. The variety of sounds is without limit. I generally use acoustic guitars on it (Ovation, Takamine) and I get superb sound, although I also plug my Strat in for certain projects, and I am always able to find a perfect sound for any song I am writing/covering.
Ease of Use:
It didn't take me long to figure this amp out. After reading the book I had a decent idea of how it worked, and by the time I checked out all 99 sound options, I had it down pat.
Support:
Haven't needed any!
Overall:
Overall, a great amp. I use it regularly, and have for quite a while. Unless you have a few grand to throw down for something, this is the best all around modeling amp on the market.
"Awsome, just totally awesome!!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Again, this amp is loaded with features and different was to set it up and use it....I highly recommend this amplifier and would tell you to go buy one before the price goes up!
Quality:
So far, so good. The amp seems to made strong and with craftsmanship. Only time will really tell.
Value:
As I said, for the price on this amp I don't think you can do better. It's ease of use and the myriad of different tones/modeling sounds that you can get out of it are really something.
Desirability:
I have it and I am glad I do!!!
Sound:
All I can say is that this amp purely rocks.....the sounds that are possible with this amp are endless. The built in effects are the best digital effects I've ever heard and the reason is that they don't sound like digital effects....they sound like your old fashion stomp boxes....the amp is great for both studio and live performance...awsome!
Support:
Behringer makes excellent gear. Whether it is for live performance or studio work, Behringer really puts their money where there mouth is. The are easy to contact and more than willing to assist you in support for your gear.
Overall:
I'll just reiterate that for the price you can't go wrong. I would very highly recommend this amp for the pro, semi-pro ameture or studio, live or just someone who likes to tinker with guitars. Buy one!

"best value amp...great features and sound for a small price"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Wow. So many features on this thing. The 27 effects with 99 presets will keep you busy finding out what you like the best. Having 2 channels and the footswitch can really be helpful for switching to a different effect in the middle of a song.
Quality:
Sturdy as can be.
Value:
Great value. Great price for a ton of sweet features. It's a big amp for this price.
Desirability:
Cheap, with tons of features. Sturdy, great sounds and just a great buy.
Sound:
I haven't heard many other amps, other than my old $50 one, but this thing sounds great. It shakes my house at higher volumes. The effects sound great too, even with my crappy guitar.
Support:
Just got it, idk.
Overall:
I probably won't need another amp with this. It's got everything I need for now.
