Well, this is my 2nd Behringer product. The first is the HellBabe01 wah wah pedal. Very good...especially for the price. So, that convinced me to try out the GM108 amp.
I received it yesterday and I have to admit...I really like it. Has very good sound although you have to set it just right. The distortion is not the best, and it can overwhelm you. The amp modeling is not bad, although there seems to be very little difference between the U.K. and U.S. settings. I've read where people complain the clean setting is too quiet. Hmmm...mine seems to be fine. It's not super loud, but not soft, either.
It seems to handle my HellBabe and Digitech RP55 mutli-effects pedal pretty well, also.
I haven't tried connecting my iPod to it, yet, but I think that is a cool feature. Also, not sure if I will use the amp modeling very much, since the RP55 has that covered. I plug headphones directly into the RP55 when I need to be quiet, so I don't need that in the amp.
So, why'd I get it, then? Easy, it beats lugging my 32 year old Hohner 1230 around. The fact that it has a few features and sounds great is just gravy for me.
I definitely recommend this amp. Oh, yeah..sounds MUCH louder than 15 watts! It's a whole lot of amp for $60! I had my my eye on a Fender Frontman 10G. I think this is a much better deal!
May 6th 2010 update:
Well, bad news. My amp developed a horrible thud noise and static when playing. Thought it was my less than 2 month old Epiphone SG-310 which I've since returned. Got an Epiphone LP-100, plugged it in and it's doing the exact same thing. Tried a new cord as well.
I'm swapping out the amp for a new one. Should be here in a couple of days. Let's hope it last's more then 30 days this
time!
2nd update May 10th:
Well, goodbye amp. Makes the exact same thud, muddy, staticy sound through the headphones and without them! Tried several new cords, too. I just set it up to be returned for full refund.
Trust me, try one of there other (bigger) amps or another brand.Get more detail about
