@@pieslice I personally, use an mxr 6 band eq in the "chain" before this pedal. Not much of a boost, but more a tone shaping device. The eq pedal is in a frown face configuration, with the emphasis on the 800 frequency. The behringer pedal itself sounds very tight with the right pickups. I normally plug it into the effects return input of the amplifier, to bypass the amp section. With all this, these two pedals combined sound good to my taste. Just a Jackson King V, into these two pedals and whatever PA or amp there is, that has the effects loop inputs. If you are using a headphone jack converter like the person suggested earlier, it also sounds surprisingly good!

Good video. I bought this pedal to try to hopefully replace cheaply my Tech 21 GT2 that I had sold a while back. I've been playing guitar since 1972 and have gigged for years throughout the 80's and early 90's with the best amps of the day, so I know a thing or two about sound and I can tell you that this is nowhere near a Tech 21 in sound whatsoever. It sounds terrible via my quality audio interface input. Using IR's via my DAW does help a bit but any VST amp sounds amazing compared to this. Anyone who tries this and says it's close to the Tech 21 is VERY wrong. The Tech 21 can be tweaked to sound great direct without IR's. Sorry, just my opinion. Maybe the Behringer is designed to be used in front of an amp as a pedal and not meant for direct to audio interface?

The pedal is more or less a clone of the Tech 21 GT2. You are correct that the 'amp sims' are loosely based on Fender, Marshall & Mesa amps but they aren't 'models' in the same sense as Line 6, Mooer, Fractal, etc... Tech 21 pedals tend to be based on amp manufacturers in general (ie: Vox, Fender, Marshall, etc..) rather than specific amps like current modellers. Here's a link to a really good demo of the pedal this was based on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e37UiWh3d8ufd6c You should try putting an od pedal in front of it.

@@TaylorDanley If the terrible sounding part you are talking about is how much high end it has, the GT2 also has that when plugged direct (judging from the demos I have seen). But physical rigs can also get those kind of tones. For example, the Seek & Destroy song. So I don't think that means it doesn't have cabinet emulation. From what I understand, EQ curves are how a lot of simpler cab sims work. And the GT2 is apparently an analog pedal. Here's the manual for it if you want to check that out: www.tech21nyc.com/t21manuals/GT2-OM.pdf

@@sociallydistantmusicchanne9318 sorry I should be more specific. When running direct, it sounds like a preamp. Just like running a distortion pedal direct into an interface. I made a video on it a while back running it that way and got crucified in the comments over it. 🤷♂️ either way, it definitely sounds much better running it with some sort of speaker after.

@@TaylorDanley I guess what he tried to tell you is: "Speaker emulation" isn't the same as IRs. Many simple devices did speaker emulation by just applying some EQ curve. It's an analog pedal - IR would involve some kind of logic to implement IR convolution. The Sansamp pedals were mostly used as kind of distortion pedal... Nirvana's In Utero guitar tone is built on it.

@@jeremiedsouza6703 I would say go for a boss katana mk 2, trust me. Weather you go for the head or the combo is up to you, if you don't have a lot of money to spend I would recommend going for a 50 watt combo. It's loud enough to keep up with a drummer and has a ton of effects already in it Also, wouldn't hurt to put in better pickups for your squire. Their pickups aren't trash but they still leave a lot to be desired. I recommend a used set of Seymour Duncans on reverb or something

I have the original version of this, the GDI21 as well as the vintager amp which uses this circuit as it's preamp, and really like it with it being about the only good low end Behringer amp that was ever produced 20 years ago, *but like virtually all Behringer pedals, the pots go bad.* I actually have a college background in the science of electrical/electronics engineering, so I reseated the solder joints, cleaned the pots with contact cleaner, an air hose etc., but on every GD Behringer budget pedal, they just go bad and are a huge PITA to fix. I have a ton of high end gear, but I'm never willing to spend big money on stomp boxes I can literally build and mod designs to be better, but I'd rather design something from scratch than waste my time on what is always inferior to my own original designs.
