I own a lot of guitar ampsFender super reverb, Blues Deluxe, Hotrod deluxe III, Bassman ,Ampeq S77, Engl E101 and Behringer GX210, GX212 and GMX212I bought the GX210 in 2006 new, for $195.- together with the FCB1010 MIDI controller for $129.-I play Jazz, blues and rock and I own a fast spectrum of Gibson,Fender, Gretsch, Rickenbacker and Epiphone guitars.I am using a spectrum of clean to high gain sounds.And I found that for general use in small clubs the GX210 functions absolutely great. I get regularly compliments for my sound And when I tell that I use a $195.- solid state amp, the comment is regularly that this is the best sounding solid state amp they ever heard.Sofar this amp has been a blast and it's weight is about half of that of a Fender Blues Deluxe while just as powerfull.I decided In case I needed a backup, to buy a second one. Unfortunately the GX210 was replaced by the new GMX210. Same speakers, same poweramp, A similar but different effects processor, and a new modeling preamp,with added high gain and modelling functions. How hard I tried, I have not jet got the sounds that I like so much from the older GX210. But when I need the real high gain power it is no match for my Engl E101. despite the effects processor.What I actually like in the GMX210 is the build-in tuner, I wish that feature was build in the older GX210 , but you can't have every thing Still wanting a suitable backup for my good old GX210, A few month ago I bought the bigger brother the GX212.This amp has double the power with 12 inch Jensen Chicago speakers and a expanded preamp. Clean this amp sounds incredible but as soon as I use the gain channel it does not have the finesse of the little brother it sounds too much as a transistor amp,. Despite the separate tone control and the morphing filter I can not get that rough edgy transistor sound out of the distortion. This could be due to the speakers or the poweramp or a combination of these factors But it is a great amp for my Danelectro Baritone.My favorite FX presets on The GX2104 reverb, 18 Whah + FBC101, 24 stereo delay, 66 stereo tremolo with delayPro'sGreat sound , light weight and reliable Cons,The plastic shafts of the Alps pots and encoders snap off easily and it is very hard to find replacements or have it repairedIf you manage to blow up The Jensen Chicago speakers there is no way to have them factory spec reconed, they are different from the reproduction Jensen speakers.and it seems that original recone materials for these speakers is not available. I found that it is probably easier to replace the faulty speaker with the closest replacement the Jensen MOD series. PvdS I

"I'd buy this again, no problem. I like to play older rock stuff and goofing around with the effects are just plain fun."
Verified Customer

Lack of distortion brought it down, I really like it though. Time to have more fun.
Sound
Under 200.00 for this? It's good, I don't know what great would be, or could be for this price. It can shake the basement and give me a headache.
Features
Lotsa sounds. I'm not convinced the distortion is very good, it sounds more muddy to me than anything else. Perhaps a distortion pedal would help. This has features galore.
Quality
If this can handle my 9 year old son who loves metal music, it'll do fine.
Value
Absolutely.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know yet. Registered online, no problem, does that count? I don't think so.
The Wow Factor
After trying Marshall, Fender, Crate, I bought this without hearing it. I made the right choice.

"Excellent value for the price!"
I would call it a great starter amp!
Sound
Sounds great - but you have to spend time with it to get used to it.
Features
Extremely cost-efficient. If you don't have anything else, this will give you plenty.
Quality
I bought this for my daughter who breaks everything she touches. She's been playing it for a year now with no problem. I wouldn't toss it down a flight of stairs and expect it to work, though, it's not built too tough. Treat it like a fine instrument and it should last.
Value
If you can afford a Fender Twin - buy it. If you are short the change, this will get the job done.

Behringer GX210 Ultratwin Guitar Amplifier with DFX Customer Review
great amp. just go ahead adn buy it because its got all the power you need to play gigs w/ about 200 people and it supplies you with all the effects you have ever dreamed of. Beautiful tube-sounding amp!
Sound
great tube-like sound. From very british beatlesque sounds, to roaring metal w/ plenty of distortion for any type of music. Very powerful amp with lots of options. This amp is absolutley everything you could ever possibly need.
Features
This amp has a very wide range of useful accesories. It has great reverb w/ its vintage sound. This amp works very well w/ gison les pauls. I personally own a custom '57 les paul goldtop, and it is the most beautiful sounding amp ever!
Quality
great quality amp, perfectly designed and perfedt quality parts. It has very good quality sound because of its dual 10" speakers, which provide you with a wider range of tone.
Manufacturer Support
The support is great............because youll never need help with this well designed amp!

"Jazzers - Buy This Amp!"
I'll keep this amp till it breaks. It fills exactly what I was looking for.
Sound
Good clean sound. Distortion is rather one dimensional. Definitely not for rockers. Better suited for jazz. Reverb, chorus, phase, flanger, delay are all good and easily controlled. Many effects are combined (reverb/chorus, reverb/delay, etc).
Features
Digital signal processing. MIDI access, if you're into that. A well built good sounding amp that won't break your back or wallet.
Quality
Seems very well made. Only a few weeks old so I hope I don't experience any of the horror stories I've read elsewhere.
Value
Can't be beat for the money.
The Wow Factor
If you need a clean sounding amp for a giveaway price, you'll definitely want one.

Jazz, Rock, Classical

"169.99 Enough said..."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Great sound, cool FX, tons of features, and let me say it again 169.99 that did it for me.
Sound
Like everyone else said... distortion is a little weak but nothing a little pedal cant fix if its really that big of a deal. I have played the 2x10's and 2x12 models of this amp and they both sound really good. The effects sound good and are fun as hell.
Features
This amp is full of them... 99 preset digital effects, MIDI, the included foot switch... i could keep going but i dont have that much time.
Quality
As far as i can see its built tough and anticipates long road trips in the back of a van or something... solid construction... what more do you want?
Value
169.99... enough said...

Couldn't tell ya... havent had any problems... best kind of support i can think of.

Sound
A versitile, excellent sounding amp at an almost unbelievable price. All the features you could ever need plus midi capable. You won't find anything else that comes close for the money.
Features
The 24 bit converters in the DSP yield excellent, studio quality effects. The overdrive is smooth and authoritative and can be tweaked to your heart's delight. You will find the sound you want in this machine. The build quality is also excellent and it seems very roadworthy. Even the FS112 Footswitch is included (channel select and effects bypass), and it too is built to last. I can't seem to find anything wrong with this amp.
