Behringer PB1000 effects pedal board

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

...or standing. This is a product I would recommend to any guitarist who has more than two pedals is their rig. I am glad I made the leap and got one. They are listed on Behringer's website at £109 but a bit of shopping around will secure one at around half this price....

Review of Behringer PB1000

UCG102 not a submarine but a gadget from Behringer

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

...you can register your favourite one for permanent use. The instructions aren't the easiest, particularly for anyone who isn't familiar with the technical side of music production. There was a lot of talk about 'latency' which is apparently the delay between hitting a note and the sound coming out of the speaker. The first mistake was assuming that the sound would come out of the computer speakers. A careful read of the instruction manual revealed that you are supposed to use the headphone jack to listen, either via headphones or by using a lead to a set of speakers or your guitar amp. I chose Amp number three, which give 50 different amp effects which you can then route into the Krystal software and use it to record your master work with any number of over dubbed tracks. When I finally cracked it I recorded five tracks, three...

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...

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...

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 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...

The revolution will not be televised - XMI X-mini II Mini speaker

Advantages: Great sound, bargain price, sleek look.
Disadvantages: The kids listening to happy hardcore at the back of the bus might find out.

...Revolutions: they aren?t usually very good, are they? Big promises by ego-crazed dictators, resulting in the butcher of millions of innocents. No, I?m not a massive fan of revolutions, so I was sceptical when the X-mini arrived on my doorstep, promising ?audio revolution in a box?. On the back, the big promises continued: ?Delivering on the promise of ?sound beyond size?, the X-mini II capsule speaker is petite in size but massive in sound?. By this point I was becoming very suspicious. The look of the thing worried me a little too. Not because it looks bad - it has a very slick look; the vivid red of the speaker poking out from the round, black casing like some demented 8-ball. It?s also very small, which is obviously handy. It?ll easily fit in your back pocket. The packaging too is very attractive (although if you lose sleep over...

Review of XMI X-mini II Mini Speaker

Speakers which might do the job?

Advantages: Cheap, good sound
Disadvantages: reliability

...Hello, Welcome to my review. I had these speakers included with my lovely hp computer which I purchased back in 2005. These speakers came in a rather blank box, with HP written on it, they came nicely packed with a lovely and very easy to use instruction booklet. They looked very professional and they are a nice grey/silver colour with a tint of blue, you plug these into the back of your monitor and they run off the monitors power input which is very useful, they do not have a power cable themself because they use the monitors cable for power, meaning theres a saving of plugs when it comes to your two point plug way! The speakers are prevented in dark blue plastic, with a silver/grey with "Hewlett-Packard" on the front, with the soft cotton above covering the speakers themself, tinted at the top with a silver/grey strip. These...
