Behringer PB1000 effects pedal board

Advantages: Organises and powers up to twelve effects pedals
Disadvantages: A bit expensive to start out.

...found that I had collected a group of pedals and that there was a need for storage, portability and a means of powering them. Each of these effects pedals is powered by a 9 volt battery and replacing them, when you have left the pedal plugged in, thus switched on, can get expensive. I decided to treat myself to a pedal board when I needed to replace four PP3 batteries and thought that I would find myself buying them in bulk, so I went in search of a mounting system and found this one. It includes a 9 volt 1.7 amp mains power supply and a daisy chain cable with plugs that fit most standard pedals, obviating the need for batteries. The pedals fit to the board using Velcro so that you can choose your layout, short cables are supplied so that you can link them together in an order that suits you. Once they are set up all you have to do...

V-Amp2 - A rack of amps and effects at a low cost

Advantages: A multitude of sounds easily accessed at a low price
Disadvantages: No power off switch, some bits hard to get at

...there). The sound quality is excellent and that is what really matters. Not quite the same as having the amp but a marshall stack costs a hell of a lot more. This unit comes into it's own when you use it for recording. I have used it extensively for this purpose and it is excellent I have not gone into the technical stuff as if you go to the behringer web site you can get all that. IMHO just go ourt and buy one. (The pro version is rack mount but costs a bit more - Worth it to keep the studio clear and tidy)...

UCG102 not a submarine but a gadget from Behringer

Advantages: Allows for a wide range of digital music options
Disadvantages: Fiddly to get started

...I was given this gadget for Christmas but only recently got around to setting it up on my computer. it wasn't straightforward, I had to do a lot of research to get the best out of it but once I did I was impressed by the effects I could achieve. So what is it? It is a gadget that allows you to plug an electric guitar, Bass or any other similar instrument into your computer to use software emulated guitar amps, recording software and audio manipulation software. What's in the box Jeff? I'm glad you asked. First is the adapter itself, which has an input jack and a headphone jack, a Hi/Lo switch and a volume control. There is a lead attached to a USB plug. There is a CD containing the driver for the device, Krystal recording software and three sample amps. you get a 30 day trial of each of the amps and a registration key so that...

The HellBabe Wah pedal by Behringer

Advantages: Huge range of sounds - lots of options for customising the sound
Disadvantages: Haven't found any yet.

...I run a risk here of writing a review that is totally unintelligible to non- Electric Guitar players. Those of you with an ear for such things will be familiar with the sound of a wah wah pedal, it is one of a huge range of effects pedals that can be used with a guitar to modify the sound, strangely enough causing a Wah-Wah effect to be added to the note played. Put simply, a wah wah pedal is a kind of tone control that you operate with your foot and they have come on a long way since my first one that I owned in the 1970s, a CryBaby. To go with my lovely new Gibson electric guitar and my stunning Indie amp I thought my sound needed some bending so I went looking for a new pedal. Horrifyingly, The Dunlop CryBaby pedal is still made and sold but is seen as the Rolls Royce of wah pedals, and carries a price tag to match...

Behringer Xenyx - A Bedroom Musician's Dream.

Advantages: Cheap, Professional, Easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...Behringer has gained a deserved reputation amongst musicians on a budget for its ability to produce high-quality, low-price equipment that will rival the quality of the likes of brands such as Korg, whilst still letting you keep a roof over your head. The Xenyx 2442FX proves just that. At around £199.99 RRP, the model retails at half the price of it competitors. Yet it pains me that people still buy from companies such as Korg, Boss, and Casio - all that they are doing is buying the brand name. Behringer know that musicians often aren't made of money, which i find refreshing, and means that Behringer are amongst the brands i can trust. What Does the Xenyx 2442FX Do? The Xenyx is a 24-Input powered mixer that has 10 Phantom Power Microphone Preamps; several channel inputs for 1/4 inch jacks or phantom inputs; a state...

Behringer FX600 pedal -More sounds than a blender full of cats

Advantages: A lot of effects in one unit. Good price
Disadvantages: The Blue LED is a bit bright and can be distracting

...When you get bored of hearing your guitar making ordinary noises it is time to plug in an effects pedal. An effects pedal is a foot operated gizmo that you plug into the line between an instrument (usually a guitar) and the amplifier. Its purpose is to modify the signal from the instrument. There is a huge range of pedals available, back in the 1970s I had two that are now considered to be classics, the Dunlop Crybaby Wah wah pedal and, I kid you not, a distortion pedal that gloried in the unlikely and slightly pervy name of The Big Muff Fuzz Box. Later on more advanced effects were available, with octavers, phase shifter and chorus heralding a range of modulating effects. These range hugely in price but i have discovered the Behringer range of pedals which offer great quality at very fair prices. The FX600 is a multi...

Review of Behringer FX600 Multi Effects Pedal

Behringer DD400 Digital Delay , I hope you will 'Echo' my view

Advantages: Good value for money good range of effects.
Disadvantages: The plastic case seems to be not very robust, but is is quite solid

...connector. On the other side are two output jacks, one for the effect and one is a bypass which allows an unmodified signal to pass through the unit. It can be powered either by a 9 volt PP3 battery or by a 9 volt mains adapter. Personally I prefer to use an AC adapter as it can be very expensive to keep replacing batteries, they are tow or three pounds each and will go flat if you forget to switch off and unplug the pedal. I bought a 1300 Milliamp adapter with a daisy chain of six power plugs which can power all my pedals, a good investment at around £15. I have now collected five Behringer pedals which give me a huge range of effects. I have been impressed by the build quality and value of these effects. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to play the electric guitar but doesn't want to fork out a fortune on the accessories...

Amped Out!

Advantages: Very Funny, really quirky, very good to pick up and play, value for money ++
Disadvantages: might be to strange for some

...Amped 3 is the third game in a line of snowboarding games from Indie Built/2K Sports and it expands on the previous two games in the fact that again it is a X-Box exclusive. The game was released with the console as part of the launch line ups therefore one of the first next generation games available. Amped 3 is as i said a snowboarding game, but there are things in this game which set it apart from rivals such as the SSX series. Not only is your character fully customisable from what hair style they have to what shoes they wear and everything inbetween, Amped 3 is also a sandbox game but i will come onto that later in the review. The story to Amped 3 is very light hearted as is to be expected, it is after all a sports game so there is no sweeping and epic story line here. You and your bunch of friends wand to become...

Review of Amped 3 (Xbox 360)

Complete Virtual Amplification

Advantages: Sounds Great, Includes all the classic amp tones, a number of effects
Disadvantages: Short delay while changing between effects

...; it’s expensive to buy them this way. By buying the individual units though, you would usually get a better sound out of them. But hey, it’s very hard to tell the difference. So I would opt for a multi-effects unit as I did. There are a number of multi-effects units on the market as well though. Popular ones are the Line 6 Pod, the Boss GT-6, the Korg AX1000G and of course Behringer’s V-Amp. I first saw the Behringer V-Amp reviewed in Total Guitar magazine and was pretty impressed. It had 4/5 which I thought was pretty good. In the magazine the RRP was £199. Well, I wasn’t in a rush to buy any effect, I mean if I’d waited this long I could wait a little longer. So, I decided to wait until I saw my guitar teacher. When I asked if he could recommend an effect unit to me, he recommended the V-Amp. So...

Behringer VMX100

Advantages: Cheap with beat counters
Disadvantages: once your good you will want a better mixer

...Behringer keep spoiling us with great quality mixers at the lowest prices compared to any other manufacturer. The VMX100 is an entry level dj mixer. it has 2 channels split for phono or line input. each channel has it own beat counter and full high, mid, low trim.. The beat counters work quite well and along with the tempo and sysc LED displays,any body can learn to mix. there is a best assist button just press this button in time with the beat at the BPM is worked out and the sysc lights will tell you which channel is too fast or too slow. the head phone mixer can play both channels at once or can be addigned to one channel or the other. the cross fader in the VMX100 is excellent useing a glide bar to stop your movements damaging it. the life cycle is estimated at 500,000 slided thats alot. after nearly a year practicising...
