Do Behringer Guitar Pedals Sound Good?

[@davorsixstrings1642]

The Behringer pedals are great for anyone who wants to explore different tonal possibilities. They actually work, I own the Tube Amp Modeller TM300, and the Ultra Metal UM300, my guitars are mid-range, and amps also. And I get awesome tones from those two pedals. The knobs are responsive, you can dial in lots of different frequencies. I recommend the Tube Amp Modeller, basically it gives you sounds of three main types of amps, three mic positions, and three gain settings, plus a great mid range control. The fact that they have plastic housing doesn't really bother me, they are very durable.

[@timsimpson9367]

I put the vintage delay through the ultra metal, sounds amazing. Plus a flanger through ultra metal is incredible.

[@Wildart2]

Do you have to play it through an amp or can it go directly to the speaker cab like the new Amp modelers can?

[@davorsixstrings1642]

I believe it can, but I use it through an amp. But the Tube amp modeler pedal gives you a lot of tone options, a really great pedal. Basically it mimics Tweed, Marshal and Mesa amps. When you combine that with Ultra Metal, you get some really great sounds.@@Wildart2

[@ashleyhughes7422]

I have the tube amp modeller, great pedal. Where would you put it in the chain order?

[@davorsixstrings1642]

Well, I put it last, meaning just before the actual amp. That is when I combine it with the Ultra Metal. I lower the gain setting on the Tube Amp Modeler, and then I get the most out of distorted sounds from the Ultra Metal. But I'm no expert, I just mess around, you can try different chain orders. @@ashleyhughes7422

[@algrundau9441]

I thought I was done with gear. Then I watched the JHS Pedals Video "What's the deal with Behringer"...I started with 1....then another....Now I have 21 of them...hahaha. They are amazing. Everytime I went to the guitar store for strings or picks, I would see another I had not tried yet for very little money brand new. I would always leave with a new pedal or 2. They sound very good, and not "just for their price." Yes they are plastic. I would not stomp on them with heavy boots, and yes the jacks are soldered to the board. So be careful. So far I have had only one give me any issues. And I got a refund.......I highly recommend the Tube Overdrive, Vintage Delay, Vibrato, Super Fuzz and Digital Reverb (Mod Reverb is awesome)....Anyone of those should convince you how good they can be.

[@joeblough261]

I have the OD300 and the T808, and they're killer, and the plastic construction is very sturdy, when I compare it to my Boss pedals it's not like it feels super flimsy compared them. Obviously they're not as sturdy, but we're talking 75% less cost. You could buy two of each and have one as a back up if it broke at a gig, and you're still 50% less in price. I'm not saying you necessarily want every Behringer pedal and nothing else, but I'm super happy. One thing I did is bought some nuts to screw on the input/output jacks the way the Boss pedals have...cost me a dollar for a bag of them.

[@MusicAndWood]

Thanks for the watch and comment, great suggestion with the nuts on the jacks. Some of the pedals sure do sound pretty good.

[@osmarkeiroz7304]

Yes, i agree but oddly enough i have never seen a Behringer pedal with a broken plastic case and i have seen and played on many Behringer guitar pedals, Despite being plastic, it is a very resistant material.

[@emansell68]

I have pedals of many manufacturers, Boss, Marshall, Electro Harmonics, many other brands, and 10 Behringer ones. Behringers are no second to anyone and the sound palette they provide is simply fantastic. Beside the listening test, I have tested the pedals with signal generators and oscilloscope/spectrum analyser and the result is that the signal and noise performances are well aligned with the other brands. I never had problems with plastic chassis and pots a little bit soft: I don't plan to jump on them nor forcing the knobs. In a nutshell, Behringer is a reputable manufacturer of clone pedals and they allow to test and go for different sounds instead of having to decide which one to buy and which to renounce to.

I already had the CS400 compressor but I ordered the CL9 compressor because it has such an amazing sound and it's getting delivered today so I'm super excited. There are charts floating around that show what each Behringer pedal is most likely based on. The CL9 is based on an Ibanez CP9 from the 80s. The plastic cases don't bother me one bit. I'm a bedroom player and they hold up great. I own the Behringer pedalboard that holds 12 pedals but I still am waiting on an isolated power supply that has 12 9v outputs. Nobody seems to make one. There are so many great affordable pedal lines in 2023 so people can get really cool clones for cheap and some are in metal housings with cool graphics and true bypass for dirt cheap.

the results also depend a lot on who is actually playing the guitar. But there is no difference between the TO800 and an Ibanez Vintage Ts808 for example, the Superfuzz is also very very good, same goes for some others, but the 7 Band EQ clone is far more noisy than the Boss pedal, the noise gate is garbage, and so on. Some Behringers are supercool, some not.

[@shaft9000]

I finally got a SuperFuzz today after it being out of stock for a year...my univox DIY kit didn't work correctly no matter how I troubleshot it. I've only run it with humbuckers for about a half an hour. Mode 1 is pretty bad with diMarzio PAFs, far too mids-y. Mode 2 is cool for rhythm 'In between' is some of both in a parallel mix, and should be it's own detent instead of the useless boost. It's got some mojo for a part here or there, if heavy-handed. And that's the general impression I get - it's simply too heavy-handed. The gain is set stupid high from the op-amp going into the diodes, and bias seems slammed for as much sustain as it can muster - so there's little variance in the gain range, nor touch sensitivity as in a better fuzz that has more musical applications. This one is for those seeking a quick, messy fix of fuzz madness and not much more.

I use the Vintage OD in front of a Fender Supersonic just as the amp begins breaking up and it really opens up the sound.

[@dam7ri]

Technically, shouldn't the tremolo go along with the gain pedals, before the amp? As explained it modulates volume. At the very least, it should be the first pedal in the effects loop.

[@MusicAndWood]

Hey thanks for watch and comment! There is a kind of “best practice” for types of pedals and their ordering however, some pedals behave differently than other and you may find a sound you like using a non standard order. The general rule of thumb for pedals would be guitar -> fuzz( always first ) -> compressors -> gain pedals (overdrive then distortion) -> (you could insert the preamp here and use the effects loop for the rest of the pedals) -> modulations ( Chorus , tremolo, vibrato) -> time pedals ( delays and loopers) last is reverb

[@MusicAndWood]

Forgot to mention the wah and volume pedal. Volume pedal is good in a couple spots, it depends on the effect you want. When you want to actually just control volume of your overall chain it should be last or after the gains at least. When you want to to change the signal going into a gain pedal it should go before the gain pedals, doing this you will get less distortion then the volume is down and more distorting when the volume is high. A wah I generally use as the first or second pedal in my chain coming from the guitar. Again it is a sound thing do you want to add wah to the whole signal chain or just your dry guitar. I generally like to use wah up from straight from dry guitar and into the gain pedals.

[@klausnowack2115]

Thanks for the informative video!

[@djlehara]

Question as newbie: Wouldnt common sense dictate that the Noise Gate is very LAST in the chain? and wouldnt you want the signal coming OUT of the amp as clean as possible BEFORE hitting the distortion pedals (before the speaker??) Just curious. I had EVERYTHING in the effects loop before I saw this video, and then put EQ, compressor/sustainer, Synth, and Ultra Octaver BEFORE amp then everything else in the loop.

[@MusicAndWood]

Hello! Depends on how you want to use your noise gate. There are many ways and reasons to use a NG certain ways. Here is a page that goes in detail. rolandcorp.com.au/blog/how-to-use-boss-ns-2-noise-suppressor-in-your-rig For how to use the effects loop, in general put these types of pedals in front of your preamp (guitar in) fuzzes, compressors , drives, boosts, tuners, wah , volume pedal, pitch shifters and put modulations effect (delays, chorus, vibe, tremolos, phasers, reverb) in the effect loop after the preamp. The main reason for this is so your guitar tone clean or distorted will go through the modulations. If you put modulation effects in front of drives they will change the behavior of the gain stage. This is not an unheard of way of using modulations and drives though. Many older amps did not have effect loops so lots of older records have delays in front of the pre amp. All that goes to say is these are suggestions for a starting point but, experiment and find the sound you want. If you have a fuzz or vintage style circuit fuzz it pretty much must be the very first pedal or it will not sound good. Right now I am mainly jamming with a couple drive pedals going into a chorus then delay and sending that right in to the “clean” side of a hot rod deluxe. Turning up to around 3 is plenty loud and lets most of the distortion come from the pedals with just a bit of extra distortion coloring from the pre amp gain stage.

The Budget Pedal market is in full full swing, you can find a lot of gems out there, Iset has a Dumbler and their Flange pedal that are really good and in the $20 range, you also have Joyo which can range from $25-60 for their stuff, and Caline/Gokko Its weird how you have this extensive resurgence of decent cheap pedals and a bunch of under $100 pedals that are actually good especially for the starting player, its weird with the current market of these boutique vintage pedals like a Klon going for ridiculous amounts of money. It actually hit at a great time because of 2 years of COVID Guitars sold well and brought an influx of players, more players, but less product could have gone more disastrous for the industry as a whole. I always say to new players though, the pedals that are just legendary are legendary for a reason, you can buy budget pedals and they are fine, but read and watch reviews to see what you are getting ahead of time, its better in some instances to just buy the MXR Phaser 95 mini, Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini and others that are the pinnacle for around the $100 mark instead of just getting something that misses the mark, sure in this case $20-50 isn't much and it will get you by till later, don't even look at vintage unless you can get it for a steal or the reissues are reasonable in price. A Klon has many many good clones and even JHS has had a Clone shootout to the point its so close only a vintage owner can tell the difference of the nuance.

[@MusicAndWood]

There are for sure a good number of budget friendly pedals out now, I might try to make some more videos comparing them. In-terms of budget vs known brand, even the later models of pedals are certainly going to sound a bit different than their vintage counterparts. Also, taking multiple samples of the same pedal from the same manufacture you will get small inconsistencies because of the discrete components tolerances.

You did not record the speakers you said you used them as a monitor in the video. I have owned this Power Attenuator for years, they don't sound very good compared to the others I own. My comment had to do with all the time you put into making that awesome peddle board and then purchasing all the pedals. To me that was such a large amount of work to go to for the sound quality that was used. All I really hear in this whole video is mud which is why I made the comment, my intent was never to be rude. I watched the video in my studio and monitored the recording through a pair of Genelec 8350s. When you came to the TM300 Tube Amp Modeler it wasn't at all an accurate image of what that modeler sounds like. In fact all of the pedals sort of sounded like the same muddy tone I have been commenting on. This is why I would love to see you do this again mic'd up through one of those Vintage 30's. That would be pretty epic.

[@MusicAndWood]

Well thanks for listening on a nice pair of speakers and the input ! Sounded pretty decent as a demo video to me but I do always like to get better tones so I may do a comparison video with the PS1 emulator vs mic’d speaker with some more pedals to test it out.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

@@dinofond I agree. This video was useless to me. It all sounds like it's coming through a layer of mud. Honestly, if this vid was all I had to go by, I would never even consider buying a Behringer pedal.

[@dinofond]

@@dogslobbergardens6606 The TM300 Tube Amp Modeler is pretty cool. It reminds me or the old school working mans Tech 21 SansAmp guitar Amp Emulator without the Fender amp. I appreciate the time MusicandWood took to make the video for sure.

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

I've owned I think 5 different Behringer pedals and hated all of them except the Vintage Tube Monster, which had a preamp tube in it. The cheap plastic ones sounded bad to me in person.

Brother, when I switch overdrive to heavy metal , the volume is going down why, what I have to do to have same level of volume.

[@MusicAndWood]

Thanks for the watch! I would suggest to start with the tone knobs all at 50% and gain 50% on both pedals. Then adjust level so they are close, now adjust gain for the max distortion you want on each. Readjust the levels to match in volume. After that you can tweak the eq on the pedals and you may need to then do a final level adjustment.

well explained.

i think behringer is too warm for drives but i like it for delay pedal

[@MusicAndWood]

Great observation! I do also like the delays they make!

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

All the distortion effects sounded catastrophically grim. All the modulation effects seemed viable.

Most of the berhinger pedals are exactly the same circuit of the pedals they are cloning.

[@MusicAndWood]

They are pretty close to some of their influences however they have different components. Some of the pedals do sounds pretty good though!

[@masonjames1]

24:13 Like that! And 31:22

[@WizardClipAudio]

I’ve got only only one Behringer pedal whatsoever, and I guess I like their wah-wah, in spite of it being constructed with cheap plastic that feels like stepping on dog-shit, cause it sounds better than any of my crybabies or whatever. I kind of just want to shove the circuit in a metal housing so the pedal will feel as solid as it sounds under my foot. 😅

[@seanalexander6310]

I don't understand your Noise Reducer in your chain. Why did you put it at the front of the chain without using it's loop? Why not use the send and return of the noise gate for all of your noisier pedals such as the dirt/distortion/drives and possibly compressors? You put all your noisier pedals in the "FX loop" of the noise gate. The noise gate reduces noise just on those noisier pedals. It seems with your set up here, the noise gate would work better after your dirt/drive/distortion. I'm just hoping you realize there's a send and return for a reason and not to just throw it anywhere on a pedal board.

[@MusicAndWood]

Hello thanks for the comment. The reason the noise gate was first is to use it as a gate on the input. The gate works better and more predictably when used in front with the guitar input triggering the gate. Take a look at these diagrams from Roland, the maker of BOSS pedals. Scroll to the ADVANCED METHOD with an Overdrive pedal diagram. rolandcorp.com.au/blog/how-to-use-boss-ns-2-noise-suppressor-in-your-rig you will see the instrument going directly into the gate and the overdrive on the other side in the loop.

[@seanalexander6310]

@@MusicAndWood You are not using the loop.

[@seanalexander6310]

What I'm saying is the noise gate has it's own fx loop. There's a send and a return on the pedal. Yes, you plug into it as any other pedal, but an ideal way to use it is to put all your noisier pedals in that fx loop so that the gate effects them all. You are using it on your guitar input only.

[@seanalexander6310]

Output rather

[@seanalexander6310]

@@MusicAndWood Imagine you first plug into the noise gate. The send could go to the first compressor and the return could come from the ultra metal pedal. The output could go to the front of your amp. It would noise gate your entire top row of pedals. You have nothing in the loop. You are just straight inline.

[@BezhurnyDecibels]

You have so many guitars, a cool combo amp you bought the whole series of Behringer guitar pedals and what are you going to play on all this, I watch your video, I can’t understand where the music is, you just turn the pedals, maybe you just like holding a Fender guitar in your hands?

[@MusicAndWood]

Hey, thanks for the watch and comment I do like Fender guitars quite a lot. My first guitar was a Stratocaster so I learned on the 25.5 inch scale length so, while I really enjoy my Gibson guitars the Stratocaster feels like home.

Now that's a "signal chain nightmare" right there! You have 15 or so circuits none with true bypass, plus the interconnects, whoa, just sounds awful! Nevertheless your playing is pretty good!

maybe its the strat? All the distortion sounds like static flubber... 😆

They sound o.k. For the price, they are pretty good. But, I don't like the way the battery has to be put in. This little pins on the side are annoying.
