Behringer Tube Amp Modeler Unboxing & 1st Impressions

[@alanwhite6293]

A good thorough demo of all options on the pedal, clearly explained and very well done, Thanks John keep up the good work

[@garethpoole1645]

Nice to see a modeller from the 'economy' end of the range being reviewed and the results reinforce my view that you do not need to spend big bucks to get decent tones. It's worth adding I received a Tuner from this range as a present so I added it to my practice board and 12 years later it's still there and working!

[@calbrockocat8728]

Really like these affordable gear reviews. This amp modeler with its Tweed setting may just be what my Strat and Tele clones need to sound more like themselves.

[@LA.Guitar]

I have found that the key to these pedals (same with the Behringer slightly larger version!) is to just peg back the lows and highs in your recording software. If you set up an EQ to cut everything below 120hz and everything higher than about 6khz (kind of mimicking a 12" guitar speaker), the overdriven sounds from this pedal sit really nicely in a mix. It is based on the Tech21 Sansamp GT2 which needs the same EQ treatment. Amazing value for money at £20!

[@AdrianLugo1967]

saving this, thank you

[@JBM_71]

I have Behringer's slightly larger DI version of this and it transforms my practice amp. I too love the Tweed setting. Great stuff as always John!

For £20 this pedal is hard to resist. Great demo John.

[@pacyivory]

Hello nice review. Around 9:10 the sound reminds me off the solo in the song midnight blues with Gary Moore.Great🎸🎸

[@stevesmith3990]

Thanks for this John, I have been tempted to try out this pedal, I think you've convinced me!

[@captainhowdy7847]

Not being a shill here, but I recently Christmas presented myself a zoom g1 four, which has blown me away. Hundreds of fx and 13 (I think) amp models with choice of cabs for 60quid. This has unexpectedly replaced my entire pedalboard and because it takes headphones, the neighbours and wife are pleased too... (Incidentally, including the pedal you demoed....) Great playing, John. Love the channel!

[@sahanulgen7214]

Great demo John! Thanks so much for the effort, I was very skeptical with this pedal but I will be buying it for sure. Thanks

[@SidBonkers51]

Definitely does what it says on the box

[@richardlecomte4874]

I had to sell all my fancy gear during the pandemic and I thought I was retired from gigging. just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in. I had gigs lined up and no gear. I took a chance on berhinger pedals after watching the GHS reviews. I chose the tube screamer, tremolo, vintage delay and the amp modler. Having had all of the original versions of these pedals from boss, I can tell you with a straight face that they ate literally identical. for the price of one moderately priced boss pedal, I got five and I am back in business. I don't think I will even upgrade when I have the means to do so. I am getting a kick out of having a board that cost virtually nothing that sound as good as all of my friends gear that they have in some cases a grand wrapped up in their pedals alone. I have been cured of pedal snobbery.

[@fretworkband3204]

Thanks John for the review and especially for pointing out your settings as you demonstrated this pedal.

[@AdrianLugo1967]

I am amazed with the sounds I get out of my Squier CV50s Strat(w/DiMarzio Area 59 62 67 pickups). I paired it with a Behringer TO800(Ibanez copy) OD, and JOYO Atmosphere. Use it mainly for Blues and Classic Rock. It's perfect. Plug into any house, and your good. After watching another review, I now use it as a bass preamp (Tweed, Clean, Mic in Front) to clean up my Amer Pro II P Bass. Great investment

[@bluesman354]

Hi John. Just bought based on you video review. Love it Thanks.

[@kieranroberts9119]

Beringer in my opinion do rock solid gear for for rock bottom prices 👍

[@phililpb]

there has been more than one atempt to re package Beringer pedals into metal boxes and sell them at premium prices

[@mattterrell4304]

I love this pedal

[@yeoldefoxeh254]

Fun fact: it's sold out around Europe (still available through Amazon UK though) so this is (was?) a popular item. Luckily a shop got me a lucky one just now so it'll come next week. Great vid! Subbed (because I forgot to do so after some of your videos about Harley Bentons) :)

[@jerrywalaszek2473]

I bought one of those pedals and I love mine as well.I also purchased the EQ700 Equalizer for a ridiculous low price and no complaints here! Sweetwater has them priced really low about $20.00 or $25.00.Bang for the Buck! Stay well🙂🎸

[@henriquecorreia9917]

I have one and I love it...

[@stevee8095]

Great review John, thanks. £16.99 on Amazon at the moment FWIW

[@jacqueskools2566]

Hello John, thanks again for that review. Really like these videos. And you seem to be such a great human being !! A pleasure to watch it . Have you tried putting this pedal in front of a regular guitar amp ( which has a clean setting) ?

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool Demo/Review Thankyou. Convinced me to get one. Cheers

[@bearableboar0689]

Great stuff mate, really enjoyed this. Oh yeah, also got this lil pedal. Pretty darn good for 20 odd quid.

[@robguitarwizard]

Great review. I'm particularly interested in the clean fender amp tone which you nailed perfectly. Other reviewers seem only to be fixated on the high gain overdrive sounds! Cheers from OZ

[@williamcampbell7387]

Evocative of "Lucky Man."

[@chrisredding6673]

2:45 That sinking feeling; when John's cowboy chords sound better than your cowboy chords.

[@DanGleabols]

Hi John! Have you heard of the Mooer Micro Preamp pedals? The are tiny 2 channel digital preamp pedals modelled after various amps. They have a switchable cab simulation. I think they are usually about the £70 mark, but Thomann appear to have some of the models for just under £25 which seem like a steal. It would be interesting to compare this behringer pedal (which I believe is analogue and based after Tech21 pedal that's been around a while) to the Mooer ones (although, unsurprisingly the cheap ones on Thomann aren't simulating the same amps as the behringer!)

[@BassistPaul]

Good review. This is a ridiculously low price (under 26 GBP in 2022) for what is very versatile little piece of kit. I particularly love the "Tweed" amp and the degree of response it gives. I can't see why any guitarist of whatever ability shouldn't just get one at this price!

[@JBM_71]

Hey John! I have just purchased the NUX Mg300 for £85. If you need any ideas for a reviews video I would recommend this. My son, who is a producer and sound engineer was quite blown away by it for the money. If I didn't live so far away I'd lend to you but alas...... 😊

[@zazoomatt]

Well Done!

[@waynetykocki3964]

Just ordered on Amazon prime £16.99 free next day delivery, what a steel I had a second hand beat up but fully functional Plexi (100w Marshall head) back in the day. So I’m really looking forward to trying this bad boy out. I’ll try it with my MH20 Peavey Head and my Rat FBJ (18w) with a 1/2 power switch. Then try a 10w Vox amp. This will be interesting 🧐

[@TheTwangKings]

Nice job!! 👍 Would you know if it compares well with their Tube Screamer? I was thinking of buying one or the other.... Cheers.

[@JRobsonGuitar]

This is more versatile 👍

[@TheTwangKings]

​@@JRobsonGuitarCertainly. Do you think the tone is as good as the Behringer tube screamer pedal? I hear many good things about that pedal. Cheers.

[@jeronimomartinezfabregas]

That Brit mode clean was so dirty (which was great, but not for a clean sound)....then again, for a clean tone I go for a Fenderish amp; for everything else I almost exclusively use a JCM 800 model I have (at low gain as a base), with my TC electronic pedals before it to layer on more harmonics and gain (allows me to go from vintage to hard rock to metal depending on the settings). They're only around 40 pounds each the TC Electronics, and better built and sounding (IMO) than the Behringer stuff. I recommend you try out a MojoMojo (used by Paul Gilbert) or also the Spark Booster (the full one, not the small one with just a level control; it is absolutely brilliant) if you can some day. Cheers John!

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

So bizzar, just watched a quik review, (with no tone sample?), and was told don't buy it for guitar?🤔 Thank you' I like the effect, great review!🎼

Hi johhn got this pedal a while ago , just noticed they're only £16.99 at the moment (Amazon) Buy one Tons of fun For everyone 🙂☮️🇫🇴👍

Is the TM300 circuit all analog ?

[@johnmac8084]

Wow, £20! Thanks John 😄

[@johnbarry731]

Just got one off Amazon

[@mrandonnio]

£17 on Amazon now John

[@daveuk5129]

When I watched the Dave Simpson sound like Kirk Hammett using cheap pedals video,I was amazed you could not tell the difference between the £20 Behringer Ultra Metal pedal and the £100 Boss Metal Zone pedal,both sounded great,not that I will be buying one as I'm not into metal.

[@pocojoyo]

Are you going into the chean channel of a real amp ? Does the TM300 has a cabinet emulator ?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Straight into the interface out of the pedal 👍

[@timaddison707]

What's the signal chain here John, is it guitar -> Pedal -> Guitar Interface -> Computer?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Exactly that 👍

[@sixgunlover274]

Hi John, Ive got this pedal and whilst the sounds are really good, I've found it VERY noisy.

[@leonline3424]

Nice review, this is a cheap pedal that has a big bang for the buck, it's so nice ;)

[@peterjohnson4932]

How well would something like this react to a drive or boost pedal? Would it accurately model being driven this way?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

It took my tube screamer clone very well 👍

[@peterjohnson4932]

@@JRobsonGuitar Maybe a follow up video?

[@peterjohnson4932]

@@JRobsonGuitar BTW. FYI I think this is a clone of the Tech 21 SansAmp GT2

[@davidbarlow431]

For £20 it's worth it just to amuse yourself on a wet Saturday afternoon. 🎸😉

[@richardlecomte4874]

what amp are you using?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

From memory, I think I was using the pedal straight into the interface on this video

[@benallmark9671]

No doubt you’re impressed with this pedal John , I’m telling ya , all of those Berhinger pedals are epic and worth every dollar. I’m disappointed that they discontinued their version of the dynamic wah which was the DW400 , there are a couple other discontinued too I believe.

[@johnnyrandom100]

Check out Josh at JHS Pedals channel for a video entitled What's all the fuss about Beringher? Or something like that for an explanation of how they are made at such a competitive price.

[@michaeldodds7772]

Does it work with my vox vx1 amp?

Yes

The last demo I watched made this made this sound not very versatile at all. Judging from this one I might really enjoy this inexpensive pedal. What to do.......
