    hahahhaa, the resemblance is striking!

    Aside from the fact that the look is a complete rip-off, i wonder how they'll sound? I have no experience with anything Behringer has made. Hell, if they sound good and are cheaper than Boss, i wouldn't rule them out.


    *Edit: those things are 25-30 bucks...i'm just gonna assume that they are piles of shit. I'm curious though, i wish there were sound clips for those.

    They do look awefully, ah, familiar...

    Wonder how long it will be before the Electro Harmonix/Roland lawsuit is filed.

    Hahaha "Metal Tone", let's see if that accomplishes to sound as shit as the "original".

    Oh well I guess like the danelectro mini's, there could be some good value boxes amongst them. Who knows. On the other hand, it's still Behringer, the guitar world equivalent of a pile of dung.

    Well it's not like the music world to copy a specific look. ;) Like, the strat shape, or Les Paul.. never been copied before heh

    But just because of the look I wouldn't throw Behringer out the door. I used some stuff before and its been fantastic and especially for the price your paying for it! (i.e. Dirt Cheap!)

    It's a shamed what they make those 5 year olds crank out in China and Taiwan.

    I'm sure they'll make a killing before the lawsuit. Oh well, they are probably far and above the Dano mini's for around the same price.

    haha that is just too blatant...altho is it really any different from Line 6 using other brands names on their modules or whatever ya call em? I remember one of the makers complaining on harmony central's board a while back that they used one of his effects names but claimed it sounded far worse than his....

    Effects pedals are so simple I think that a price of £30 is much better value. If you buy a distortion pedal like a big muff that costs £69...the cost for components would probably come to less than £10 if you bought them individually so for a big company buying in bulk even less...this means that they end up making about £30 more as profit...it's quite amazing how much cost to build and cost of sale vary...they'll probably be good pedals but people won't buy them cause of the name.
