Feature:
There are 4 stereo inputs, one of these also has a microphone input with it - pretty good for a multi-keyboard set-up. It has a headphone output with it's own independant volume that doesn't cut off the main speakers when you plug in a set of headphones. It has a stereo "line in" that can be used to connect and play your iPod or CD player through. The graphic equalizer if OK - it does as good a job as a three knob (treble-mid-bass) system. It also has a stero link that is supposed to connect to another amp and get true stereo - but I haven't tried doing that since I only have one of these amps. It claims to have 100 digital effects - well, technically it does but they count every different intensity of tremelo as one of the effects. This means that there are really only a handful of effects (Tremelo, Chorus, Phaser and some combinations like Chorus+Phaser. The effects aren't bad but I don't have much use for them. Missing from the effects is a decent "Rotory" spin
Quality:
For the price this little baby is great. I've listened to it side by side with comparable Roland and Pevey keyboard amps. The Behringer sounded MUCH better than the slightly higher priced Pevey. It sounded a little better (particularly at high volume) than the Roland which cost twice as much. Personally, if I wanted to spend $500 on a keyboard amp, I'd buy 2 of these over the one Roland, any day.
Value:
This is a great keyboard amp for the price. There are better amps out there but they cost at least 3 times as much as this one. This is one of the best keyboard amps under $500 US - and it actually lists for only $250 US.
Desirability:
I'd certainly buy it again if this one broke. I'm seriously considering buying a second to get true stereo. Looks-wise, Behrenger, Roland, and Pevey all look pretty much like the same stubby black keyboard amp
Sound:
The overall sound is very good. It tends to be a little bassy but that can be adjusted with the on-board graphic equalizer. The sound is clean even when playing at full volume. One possible drawback is that at full volume it produces a noticable hiss when it's sitting idle. Great amp/PA for a solo performer in a smaller venue. Acceptable for a keyboard playing in a (rock) band at a smallish club.
Ease of Use:
It's a pretty standard 4 channel amp. Not very difficult to use.
Support:
I haven't needed to contact Behringer about anything so I really can't say much about their support. The users manual is a little slim and wanting. The list of digital effects is not in the manual and must be obtained online.
Overall:
I've had this amp for 4 months. No Problems. Use it LOUD as my keyboard amp to gig with a rock band. Use it as a 4 channel PA with a guitar player for "coffee house" kind of set-up (piano, electro-acoustic guitar, 2 mic'd voices). It's a great general purpose keyboard amp.
