Does anyone know if the casing (Outside) of Berhinger pedals is plast is metal? if it's plastic, i see no point as in getting one -as they are likey to be made of cheap components on the inside as well. Their site does not say if they are metal or plastic.

They are definitely plastic. I wouldn't recommend stomping on one.

definately plastic! they also come in a plastic blister pack, ensuring little chance of you getting to try one before even buying. Its like comparing Epiphones to Gibsons....except on a scale of 40 bucks. Best to save one more week and get the real deal.

40 bucks? I bought a Beh Tremolo brandnew for 19 euros!

And Epiphone makes good guitars that are great value for money, plus they don't come in blister packs

The Behringer pedals I've pulled apart have all been plastic cased. They do make a compressor in an aluminium case, but I think that's the only one.

Without fail the plastic has been cracked around the fastening screws.

I would give it a shot if you could try it out first. I mean plastic is no good for durability for stage use but if it sounded good i would definitively use it for studio use

I tried the clone of TR-2 from Beh and hated it. Never tried Boss' pedal though.
