The Week in Gear 65 | Gibson Studio Session | MORE Behringer Pedals

[@autonomouspirate]

Fantastic Shaggy from Scooby Doo cosplay on this one! Also beautiful guitar 😍

[@papablue3015]

Gibson and epiphone are pricing themselves out of the market! Thanks 🤘

[@honeyfrost3355]

That's why I go used or the modern pro IV series.

[@AlJohnsGuitar]

@@papablue3015 agreed. If it's more than $500 for a squire or an epiphone, i just don't want to spend that much. I'd rather buy a Leo Jaymez for 200 or 300.

[@PhillipHolt-f9r]

I've been saying the same thing since the last name show especially when Epiphone made a deep drive on their pricing.

[@rnegtr]

Players give Behringer a hard time for these budget pedals but when Warm or JHS releases copies (clones?) of some of the same gear, for two or 3 times the price or more, that seems to be OK. The Behringer and budget TC pedals over the years always stand up great against pricey boutique pedals and they do indeed sound great. I can’t wait to try these out.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I’m fine with behinger doing what they do especially because of the more expensive offerings. The centaur name and graphic is a bit too more though

[@Civilian2.0]

Would love for Behringer to release an affordable copy of a couple of well known guitar models - That would ruffle a few feathers.

[@lerirol]

They definitely should. Just to show all them ,,custom shop" fanatics what a CNC machine can achieve for a fraction of the price. And much, much better quality and consistency as well. 😅

[@wbertie2604]

That's basically what Harley Benton does.

[@enuxs]

HB - not new ...

[@Smart-Alex]

I like the Studio Session, it checks all the boxes for me and got one as an open box for hundreds less. Team blue!

[@michaelscott2269]

I’ve used Behringer pedals off and on for a while and never had any issues. I’m excited to try these 3 new pedals out as soon as they’re available. On another subject, the Mesa Boogie amps have always had a great rep. In all my years of playing, I’ve always wanted to have one, but damn…the $$ has always been outta reach for me do I stuck with my Marshall’s. Now in my old age, I go for the less expensive and just have a good time with the other older boys…We’re still young at heart and can still play some “Balls to the wall Rock-n-Roll”……!

[@u7763]

Don’t get a Mesa. They are a train wreck to get serviced, if you can find someone to do the service. Then you have to be able to afford the service. Buy yourself a used non pcb board amp.

[@jemwand2530]

I only ever had a Behringer Phase shifter, the build quality was tragic but it really delivered on sound. It was a shame because had they spent literally pennies on better components and doubled the price, they would have still been very competitive in the market and delivered a product which people would have flocked to, it really was a great sounding pedal. Behringer obviously have excellent accountants, they just aren't musicians...the accountants, .... they are the ones who aren't neccessarily musicians.

[@jemwand2530]

BTW Michael, this is the 2020's now, so you should probably take your balls off the wall just in case some trains gander person gets jealous and tries to steal them, or even worse, suggests that you are a far white actimist.

[@michaelscott2269]

@ great point sir….!

[@Fattypatty2x4]

I watch your show every week. I absolutely love this. You do such a great job giving us the information of what’s coming out. I appreciate you so much. I have to say that I’m really excited about the Behringer guitar pedals. I’m still waiting for them to come out with the moog guitar pedals . They announced last year that they were gonna come out with some knock offs. Moog I’m not sure if they’re ever gonna come out with them. But keep up the good work. Maybe one day I have a channel like yours. Or even get to meet you. 🤘💎🙏

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I’m so glad that you stopped by to leave this comment. I’d like to see those Moog Pedals too. I’m going to be out and about quite a lot in 2025. Hopefully our paths cross

[@kosmonument2682]

Gibson did that neck the way they did because the truth is that most people want vintage looks with modern appointments. Especially players who can't afford vintage proper, like those who would buy a Studio.

[@MrPhotonjockey]

Not to mention, not everyone has Andy’s gorilla size mitts.

[@HunnysPlaylists]

I like the studio session. fretboard binding is the binding that matters the most anyways.

[@nieko3038]

2250 for a studio. Under 850 for my Tribute with 57 classic and classic + Must come a time when those prices will bite Gibson. Bit shocked about the Mesa price too. Had a caliber 50+ don’t know how they compare. You can get those used for 600 notes.

[@chancemiller9340]

Andy's Picks of the Week! Fuzz y más!

[@The_artist_called_The_Engineer]

Not a Gibson fan, but I did get a second hand Epiphone les Paul special about three months ago, needed a bit of refurbishment but I have to admit it plays a charm and I love it. How much? €20 plus some paint and filler ( oh and I got five sets of strings thrown in with it)

[@BillyTheKidsGhost]

Behringer, slaughters the gatekeepers

[@HunnysPlaylists]

behringer is rebadging a $25 pedal from aliexpress and selling it for over $100.

[@HunnysPlaylists]

In other words, behringer is a dropshipper and you f4ll for it.

[@BillyTheKidsGhost]

@@HunnysPlaylists aliexpress guitar pedals are more expensive, than in the west. Even JoYo and hotone is cheaper to buy in the west than it is off aliexpress.

Why all the hate4Behringer ... they brought back some classics of the synth world @reasonable pricing to us small wallet beings ... so why not welcome them to the axe world ...

[@NeungView]

I'm in Denmark and I have had nothing but great experiences with Gear4Music.

[@williamking7420]

I bought a cream vinyl Mesa Boogie Mk2 back in the day when they first came out. That was a time when Randal Smith built every amp personally by hand one at a time. I think I paid around $800 for it in the late 70's. Unfortunately I ended up selling it a few years later during a time when I needed the money. That was a great amp that served we well. It was a very soulful sounding loud as hell beast of an amp. I wish that I had kept it....Then I bought a Boogie MK4 upon its initial release, that was $1,400 back then. That is one amp I still have and will never sell. My son will inherit that one. It's amazing to have lived through the era when tube amps went through so many iterations and changes. And the prices have really skyrocketed for new tube amps, especially from Mesa, Marshall, Fender and Orange.

[@jorge-_-reza]

💥 WOW, other than the Gibson, this week's show is perfect for Christmas time!💥 I want them ALL!!!!! Anyone want to be my Christmas friend?!?!

[@ernestochang1744]

Gibson are just the rolex of guitars

[@alexdenton6586]

Love Behringer

[@nickrouse8426]

That Boogie amp has me reaching for my trusty ANALOG modeler. Thank you Peavey Tube 60. Used for 350. Get em, kids. Best combo amp ever made.

[@nickrouse8426]

Reason I say best, is it's a modeling amp, but it's almost if not entirely analog effects and accurate analog amp voicings. Not digital. Think JHS Packrat. Switching between full analog circuits when you dial the knob. I have dialed in 60 watt tube combo amp versions of Fender Twin Reverb, Voxx AC30, and Marshall Plexi in front of me next to my pedalboard with a footswitcher to change between them. All because analog modeling and a custom-voiced 12 inch speaker that has super high headroom. Perfect pedal platform ironically.

[@nickrouse8426]

Oh and 6L6 tubes baby 👶 BOSS Chorus and Flanger as well as the Zakk Wylde signature pedal just sitting in the stompbox section. Studio quality headphone jack. Record out to DAW. 2x12 cab extension capability. It's a dream.

[@SierraAppa]

I know it’s going to be a decent weekend when I can start it with this show. As always…thank you

[@ThefabulousJF]

This Gibson studio session reminds me a lot to my honey burst tribute. Slim neck, 57 pickups, modern electronics, modern neck heel. And yes, this makes a lot of sense cause you get a guitar easy and modern to play up to the highest fret with the classic Gibson midrange sound. Not everyone wants to play a baseball bat for that sound 🙂- for me it's my goto fiddlearoundandtrystuff guitar which can do more sounds as my classic LPs. Every time Gibson changes stuff they get a huge bash cause they change stuff. And at the same time everybody bashes cause they never change stuff ... guitar players are weird sometimes ... Price ... these seem to be built better as the older Studios (I needed fret files for all of my cheaper Gibsons) - but 400 more for different pots ... Make the Studio 1500 and this 100 bucks more. But it seems like it needs to hurt when buying a Gibson, it's part of the experience.

[@BurgersforBreakfast127]

The vibe does have an expression in for controlling the speed

[@matzer8846]

The SLO is something worth to mention ... absolutely love the preamp-usage tones ....

[@retromacman620]

1500 is about the most I want to spend on a Gibson Studio LP...that Deytona looks cool ❤

[@1-eye-willy]

my first half stack was a Barringer, paid $250 for it brand new from musicians friend about 20 years ago. very light weight for a half stack but it was good for what it was

These Behringer pedals are big news, providing the iconic tones even in kinda iconic shapes for cheap money

I love behringer and I don't care who knows!

[@El-Scorcho]

Your description of the Gibson gig bag doesn’t do it justice. It’s thick-padded, low weight, and takes up less space. I’d take it over their hard shell cases any day. It’s my favorite mainstream case design.

[@akwamarsunzal]

My personal experience of Behringer pedals, and yes, I own a few! They sound AMAZING! Sadly, the plastic casing may not last forever, but they are so cheap, why not buy 3 or 4 and STILL save yourself a shitload of money on a boutique pedal!

[@lerirol]

One of my BOSS pedals broke after 3 years of use ... I have a Behringer pedal, which I've used much more for 15 years and it's still working.. Plastic is not the problem.

[@wilfredoriverajr.]

Vibe here I come!

[@BigSifu67]

All I need to know is when the Behringer pedals come out in the U.S.!

[@peterhall4852]

I really want one of these. I think shipping will be mid 2025.A new player could have this pedal, a sonicake levitate, and a Behringer Vintage Overdrive for under 150 notes. Crazy really. My SG plugs straight into an amp. Also very light. And it has 57 Classic pickups and coil taps(2014). Is this not modern...moderne? Edit...It has a hard case.

[@secretdaisy6484]

I have a 2014 Gibson Studio in mint condition with push pull controls and a hard case. Nothing really wrong with it except it isn’t a Strat. As far as Sterlings go, that’s over my guitar 🎸💰limit. I’m a beginner and plan to get the Sterling Cutlass CT 50 for $599. It has nearly all the same things as the Fender Utra Strat for $2499. If it doesn’t work I’ll sell it and get the Strat. I have no idea how this will go since it’s way outside my comfort zone 😬. Nice video! Thanks. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵⭐️

[@matzer8846]

Well ... regarding the Mesa IIc ... me will just wait4Beringer But don't forget: the original Boogie was like >~4000ish most of the time

[@heavybrett-al4082]

I never gave a shit about Gibson, but now im 50 i really want one, after 30 years of guitars, Gibson is the only brand i dont have in my collection 😢 ill take any model at this point.

[@JAL-cc8jd]

I’m 55 and just got my first one this year. I love it so much I’ve bought 8 of them! 5 Les Pauls and 3 SG’s, all just USA models ranging from $1300 to $2600, and they are all fantastic. I have a Les Paul Tribute, a Classic, a Studio, a Studio Session, and a 70’s Deluxe which I basically converted to a P90 Standard. You should get a Gibson and enjoy it!

[@JAL-cc8jd]

Or get an Eastman SB59 for around $1900 new. I have a few of those and they are absolutely flawless! They are often compared to Gibson Custom Shop stuff and I believe it, although I don’t personally have any experience with the Custom Shop line.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

@@JAL-cc8jd yea Eastman's are same price as Gibson's here in Australia 😞 it's all good, I'm half way towards a Gibson studio (new) here will cost $2.800

[@JAL-cc8jd]

@@heavybrett-al4082The Studio is a great guitar. If you can swing it, I like the Studio Session a bit better because of the ebony fretboard and the 57 Classic pickups. It also has the sculpted neck heel. I lucked out because it seems they mistakenly installed the deluxe style tuners that come on the Studio on my Studio Session, which is supposed to come with Grover rotomatics. I actually like the deluxe style better. However, the Studio is a better value and the Burstbucker Pro pickups sound great, too. I think you will love either one. Hope you get one soon and enjoy the heck out of it!

[@paulcontreras5131]

Seriously cool Shaggy vibes with that outfit, Andy!

[@MisterJWJ71]

Even before you said it, the Valentine guitar was making me think of the ES-335. Though I would have gone a little more in that direction with the cutaway because the 335 shape is my favorite body style. Yeah, I know if they make it too obvious they risk getting a "cease and disist" letter from Gibson.

[@Doug5524]

[@thecollective1584]

NOW??? I got a Behringer bass rig (1/2 stack) 15 years ago. I played it in front of crowds from 4 people to 8,000 people, in front of nationals and too many other musicians to count. The ONLY person to talk shit was a brand queen whosecDaddy bought him a $2500 bass and $3500 amp. Behringer copies their designs, but I NEVER had an issue with my gear.

[@j17wmk2]

Ouch, 2k?! I bought a Studio Pro in 2015 for 800 quid. AA top, burstbucker bridge, 57 classic at the neck, push pull coil tapping and a hard case. No neck binding though. And I agree on the slim taper neck!

[@hawedehre]

Yes 2015 was the year of bargains and fancy tuners. I got the Gibsons that year. Les Paul Classic for 1111, s double cut special and an SG special, each 550. All of them somehow great. 👍 Including case.

[@j17wmk2]

@ Nice! The Studio pro was a 2014 model. I got a double cut special from 2015 too, again a year later though. Thomann we’re selling them off for £430! Still my biggest bargain. Yes , the neck is too wide but Gibson really did up their quality in 2015 - they just weren’t well received! I’ve even kept the robot tuners on.

[@rustisamust9079]

All about personal choice and preferences Andy. I've been waiting for Gibson to put together a Studio with a Honeyburst finish, these kind of specs, a flamed top and Keystone button tuners. Buying for sure.

Behringer keeping pedal pushers honest

[@lerirol]

Wish you could hear those with my tone of voice.... The parts for all pedals ARE cheap, the enclosures ARE very cheap to make, the labour for assembling them IS cheap! And with time going on these will get even cheaper(unless you deny what a CNC machine can do). Now, the idea for a product is the priceless one. But how many new ideas are there in 2024 and for that matter, the last 35+ years? Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy. Of course it's gonna be cheap! It must/should/have to be! Don't mock Behringer for it - instead mock all the other manufacturers that charge premium money for the same shit!! AND MOST OF THEM BUY THEIR PARTS FROM BEHRINGER 😅
