I'll have to check that guy out.

From reading the title of the thread, I though you actually mad because you just bout a new pedal and it started to smoke. Guess not..

Just like the Digitech Bad Monkey- cheap but great!

Me too! I love my bad monkey. Mine was FREE as part of a promotion last summer with my whammy pedal, which I got on sale as a scratch n' dent item from Musician's Friend.

Behringer pedals are really cheap but made with plastic. If you open them, you will see that the jack input and output are not really reliable.
I own a Behringer tuner, but it is not in the signal path (I use the Tuner output of my EB volume pedal). Personally, I do not trust them enough in term of reliability so I will not put them in my pedalboard (normally this sort of thing break during a show, never during rehearsal ...). If they sound good, use them in the studio but do not trust cheap plastic on a scene.

The Behringer DD400 is a great delay pedal for the money as well. Tap tempo input, blinking tempo LED, and all! They sound great, but the build quality is questionable...

For me its price is the factor that pulls me out of the product but on the other hand its good to be surpised+if you are using rack system you cant really complain about realiability cause all you do is just tweaking from time to time.

I've been using the Behringer GDI-21 and ADI-21 on stage for over three years now and I've had no problems with reliability. Heck I've been using the little plastic Danelectro PB&J delay for probably five years and not one problem either. My conservative estimate is 300 gigs each for the Behringers and 500 for PB&J.

Plastic does not mean it's gonna break.

I use 3 Behringers: PB 100 Boost (booster in the effects loop), AB 100 (for switching to the tuner) and VD400 in my practising rig at home.
It´s for sure that they´re not high quality, but I can´t say nothing bad ´bout them until I cant´or will not afford some more expensive pedals on this positions. It some kind of interim solution.
Thanks for the hint with the Overdrive pedal anyway. but on this position I´ve spent some money on a Butler´s/Chandler Tube Diver which is unbeatable.

 

[Smellybum]

Mee too

D I got 5 Behringer pedals they cost less than the fuel to go to the store -and they are amazing for the money - I don't gig much so plastic isn't a drag for me

Killer sounds for sweety money. SOLD!
