This is my first venture into amp modeling and multi effects and I'm a happy camper.
I haven't tried POD, as it's a lot more expensive and I'm currently on a budget. But I doubt whether it sounds good enough to justify the price difference. (I'd be really, really astounded if it did)
I can now have professional sounds at appropriate rawk'n'roll volumes, without disturbing the neighbours. I can record them without disturbing the neighbours and I can further shape the tone of my amp for live use.
All of this for less than 200 bucks? I'd be very silly to complain no?
Thank you Behringer! |

Sound Quality:
The amp models sound nothing short of amazing for this kind of money. Some are a little noisy through the input of my Laney TF200, but through some headphones the sound is just fan-tas-tic! The Rectified Hi-Gain with some reverb and a combi of chorus/delay gives me that thick chunky sound Eddie Van Halen has on the Balance album (Amsterdam, Don't Tell Me). Even through a normal Stratty guitar like a Yamaha Pacifica 604W.
The Fender inspired amps (Champ, Deluxe, Bassman) sound wonderful too and give that fat, singing bluessound very well. Clean them up and add some short delay or echo and you've got your rockabilly / country sounds taken care of.
The first time I plugged it in, I played it for three hours straight and forgot about lunch altogether. Highly addictive! |

Ease of Use:
Fairly easy to use. If you're familiar with amps and stompboxes (like most of us are) it should be no problem. And the presets are a good place to start tweaking. |
|
Durability:
Can't really comment yet as I haven't had it for that long. It's plastic, so you wouldn't wanna trash it about, but it seems rather sturdy. |
