I haven't heard this particular pedal, and the sound is the primary concern. The Behringer pedals seem to be pretty poorly made, to me, with their plastic cases, but they are cheap to buy. Anyway welcome to the forum. |

Hi mawd
Welcome to the forum from another Aussie.
Can I ask what part of Oz are you from?
I think ChristoMephisto, was looking at one of those at one time.

I got one of those, its the SP-1 Spectrum clone basically. Only a digital version. It sounds pretty cool, but its a one trick pony. It can only work on one frequency, but great with other effect combos.
Haven't played with it in a bit, thinking about dragging it out today tho. They may be cheap pieces of plastic, but for the few rare effect clones Behringer has, $20 is better than $200 to me anyday, and I don't stomp on it.
In the new year planning on getting the Vibrato clone, maybe Slow Gear. The rest I would stick with real Boss pedals. Having trouble finding the Rotary Machine they have tho. That sounds really cool
ps welcome to the forum |

I have the behringer digital delay, it is pretty poor. I got it so i could have the hold function (i use a dm-2 for general delay purposes) but it has a noticeable click for each run through the loop, regardless of anything being played. Not completely unusuable and the general delay is pretty good, especially in stereo and for the money, but I expect I will sell it before too long and put the money towards something more worthwhile like one of the new electro-harmonix pedals  |

I don't think that plastic cases effect them. They may look cheap (helps with the cost) but its whats inside that counts. Danelectro makes some good quality pedals, and they're housed in plastic cases.
They are not stompboxes, they are effect processors. |

Hi jaymzHal
Which EHX pedals were you thinking of getting?
I just picked up the Small Stone Reissue and the English Muff'n
Both were NOS, less he boxes & manuals.
The 12VAC 1000mA power supply was missing in the Muff'n but Santa got it so cheap it was almost like stealing.
I have the weird connector that EHX use, and I'm on annual leave for a bit, so I will make up the missing power adapter.
I have read, nothing but glowing reviews about this pedal.
It was an impulse buy, as a local trader went belly up, & sold off his few outstanding pedals.
Regards Dr. Bob

I've heard very good things about the English Muff'n, dees it live up to them? And I'm jealous of the small stone! They've just done a wave of new pedals on the XO line such as the stereo electric mistress, Micro pog, holy stain and the one i'm interested in getting, the stereo memory man with hazarai. They have some excellent videos on youtube, kind of tripped out psychedelia. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WGObQs7JNr4
That one is for the memory man. Santa was kind enough to give me enough money to take my pick, just a shame the rent is due next week �_�
