Same product, £35 plus £10 postage in the UK. Thats £20 cheaper ($32). And where are Behringer based? Germany, Britains "trading partner in the EU". What went wrong?

That's ok, I already have a crappy cheap tube preamp, I don't need another one.

You know that anything that contains a tube, and runs off a wall-wart just has to suck.

Hmm, half the price, but sounds just as good . . .

I don't know I might just jump on that one.

As as disinterested but questioning observer, I just can't believe that there isn't someone out there with something good to write about Behringer. C'mon someone--be strong and let us hear another side to the story: isn't there at least one good Behringer product, or at least one good aspect of one bad product?

I have an old Composer Pro and it's a decent compressor. But faux tube devices like these are crap.

I have a Behringer 802 mixer, and you can't beat it for $90. Problem is it sounds like a $90 mixer, but a mixer that's low quality is better than no mixer.

Track rat is right: tubes need high-current, high-voltage power supplies to sound good. The transformers alone for that are bigger than a wall wart, and by the time you add a few caps, rectifiers, etc. you have more in size & cost than that pre itself.

If your on a budget stick to solid state pres. Low budget tube devices sound like ass. Unless you want that lo-fi sound.

The Behringer ECM8000 is one of the few decent things that I have heard from them. The mics are a bit hissy, but well, for $35 they ain't horrible.

Go Behringer Go!

Wow, whatta price... $40. And it even has a led stack.

Having a design that is a Tube MP ripoff is nothing new though.

well, I have a Behringer FCB1010 floorboard MIDI controller, and I really like it....but it doesn't make sound, so that is why it is a good Behringer product. i got it to trigger my J-station at a fraction of the cost of the Johnson foot controller, and this one does way more, I even use it a footpedals for softsynths, and trigger loops etc off of it while I play my guitar. But like I said, it makes no sound, so that is why it is a good Behringer product.

Slightly OT, but:

I saw a copy of a Behringer mixer today A small 2 mic/2 line, kind of a 602a copy ... I don't remember the brand name but the owner showed me the thing doesn't has a serial number
Knobs, buttons, casing, ... all almost identical copy of a Behringer...


there's some spooky shit out there...
