Pre amp booster

Boost the volume and shape the sound of any instrument, or switch to turbo mode when playing solos. You can boost up piezo pickups to match regular amplifier inputs. Dedicated Gain, Bass and Treble controls are included for effortless sound shaping. We’ve included a status LED for effect On/Off and battery check, and you can run your PB100 on a 9 V battery or a DC power supply (not included). For absolutely noise-free operation, a first-class electronic On/Off switch is integrated.

Just got that from the behringer site, if you have'nt checked it out there's a multimedia section where you can get an idea what it sounds like not for all the products tho! check it out

DI box

Whether you’re recording or on stage, you need a reliable DI box to get your guitar sound to the console with full dynamics and power—and without noise. Engineered for electric guitar, our GI100 features a switchable speaker simulation designed by Juergen Rath that so realistically emulates a 4 x 12" cabinet you may never need to mic your speakers again

[saitohajime24]

let explain simple terms, the preamp booster simply put boosts your gain with and added eq bass and treble. the di box is used in between your amplifier and your mixer. set up goes guitar -amp-di box-mixer, generally the pupose of this gadget is to relay the same input signal you get from your guitar&amp to the mixer, as there can be losses in the signal from your amp to the mixer. this also features a cabinet simulation 4 X 12".

I'm planning to test behringer products l8r dude, amps & effects... sana nga maganda kasi affordable yung prices nila... san nga pala made ang products nila? made in germany kaya?

[arelim]

i've been to behringer megamol last night... tested their X-vamp, also tested some zoom at JB. the X-vamp sounded clean pero parang "mababaw" ang tunog, i mean parang kulang sa gain. i've been there for around ten minutes lang siguro so i could be wrong with my assesment and baka di ko lang na explore masyado yung features nya. tapos pangit pa yung guitar na nandun kaya siguro ganun. zoom naman, sounded ok for really heavy music pero oo nga, it sounds so digital. i'll bring my guitar to behringer one of these days to test how the x-vamp sound like with it. cant' make up my mind yet.

 

and btw, excellent customer service sa beringer hehehehhe

[saitohajime24]

i really suggest, you bring your own guitar amp even if possible when testing a gadget...when i bought a zoom a long time ago we tested it on a hammer w/ duncan pick-ups thru a marshall valvestate as expected it sounded eally good and a bit different with my set-up then.

 

When i bought and amp i brought my guitar to choose which really sounded good with it, bottom line is choose equipment that will compliment your gear.

[Jun_gats]

OIC, usually thats true depending on the equipment that you will be using... sana maganda yung mga behringer products kasi affordable...

[arelim]

mukha naman silang promising eh heheheh, sana lang matibay, kasi baka mamaya pag nasa kainitan na ng tugtugan, habang gigil na gigil ka na apakapakn, biglang bumigay. hehehe

Magkano Line6 amps ngayon? I heard the sound from a friend while we were jamming.

[16track]

Around 14K kuha ko sa Line 6 30 watt amp ko pre-handog sale with 1 year to pay scheme. Good deal talaga kasi 0% interest.

 

The great thing that got me to buy this amp was that it had a 12inch Celestion speaker. That is very rare among solid state 30 watters. Usually for small amps, the 12 inchers are found on 25-40 watt tube amps and up like the Fender Blues Deville and the old Champ series or early Marshalls [Marsahlls carry Celstions]-- and about 60 watts and up for solid state state amps and and their not even Celestion speakers.

 

The effects are programmable and very useable -- but the foot stwich is sold separately.

Sir 16 track, you should have gotten the spider 2 75watts instead, kasi sa alimall it was at 20k, nung handog sale, konti nalang and you get a 75 watt amp w footswitch it was confirmed to me by perfect pitch, one tip uli during handog sale's you can reserve the instrument you want let say make a down of around 20% of the price and at the event of the end of the handog sale the remaining balance will be that of the sale price, medyo kilala na kasi ako sa perfect pitch kaya sila na nagsusugest sakin, not sales talk, when you think about it they were right, tip nila get the 75watts instead of the 30watts, you have the foot switch free, plus more control and power from the amp. The footswitch are of different variants nga pala and the most basic i think costs around 3-4k narin so sulit na. I was a bit short then so sabi nila down ka nalang then you only have to pay the sale price not the original price

[arelim]

bakit kaya mas mura ang behringer products sa perfect pitch compared sa behringer mismo? X V-amp 2 from beringer costs 10,600, while 9,950 lang sya sa perfect pitch tapos sale price nya is 8,995. laki difference. though the guy from perfect pitch told me that they are getting stuff from yupangco and yupangco gets it from beringer. oh well what ever.

 

very nice yung x v-amp 2 pati auto wah, tunog metallica. astig medyo may konting dead air nga lang while switching from one amp to another. pero tolerable naman, i mean tolerable sya based on my standards.

 

i'll get 1 on saturday, installment kasi eh.
