"Kiddie noise maker, yes. Thrash sound, no." submitted February 5, 2008

Overall

Sound

Back to Product Information

Sound: It whistles when you mute the strings. Hisses when you don't. Introduces ugly high harmonics out of nowhere on some notes. It sounds... terrible basically. One to avoid unless you are a teenager with his first guitar and wants to make a lot of noise. I have been playing and listening to thrash metal for 17 years and this is NOT a thrash sound. If you want the crisp crunchy sound you can't get it to sustain. If you want the sustain it sounds dead and weak. The main problem is the dynamic filter they put on it "Countour and Punch" actually sounds like a very badly done auto-wah. A good thrasher will tell you right away that auto-wah (dynamic filters) are great on lead work, but sound terrible on rhythm work. Quality: Poor. Noisy, squealy, hissy. Feels cheap and light. Behringer call it a "Stomp box". One real stomp and you will kill it. Value: Fair enough it's cheap. The Wow Factor: LMAO!

Musical Background: Lead Guitarist in a hard rock band.

Music Style: Hard Rock, 70's Rock, Metal etc.

Back to Product Information

Sound: I think this pedal is awesome. I usually don't play thrash metal, so i just turn down the distortion and the punch, and it's great for a good 70's hard rock sound. Overall: I won't replace this pedal with anything else, unless it breaks. It's the best hard rock sound pedal I've ever played.

The Wow Factor

Musical Background: hobbyist

Music Style: punk, rock, ska, jazz

Back to Product Information

Sound: It sounds ok...i have been playing the guitar for years but have no money so my crappy nameless strat copy and 10watt squier amp sound good on it, but im sure anyone with decent gear would disagree. It's not deep enough for what i wanted, and not distortion-y enough either. Feature: it is ok, i don't know cause i've never owned a pedal before. Ease of Use: good to use for someone who's never used a pedal i spose Quality: when i bought it home, i put the battery in and the negative terminal broke, so i had to rip it off the battery and shove it back inside the case, put the battery back in and shove it hard up against the inside so it connects. it broke again as soon as i played it, so i took it back for a refund. i finally got o a new one after 3 months, accidentally dropped my shoe on it and it wouldn't work after that. the quality is terrible. Value: you get what you pay for. Manufacturer Support: the shop i bought it off was terrible, but i didn't deal with behringer itself The Wow Factor: no. Overall: terrile. don't buy it.

"another boss re-issue by behringer!" submitted January 25, 2008

Overall

Back to Product Information

Sound: I think that this is supposed to be like the out of production Boss X-tortion pedal. Which I've heard is supposed to be like a combination of a fuzz and a DS-1. It's really cool that behringer is making these pedals that otherwise would be really expensive to get the original.
