Behringer BG412S 412 Cabinet

This is an update from my previous review in sept of 07'.. and the cab has no new features..lol...So...See Prior Review for my "In Depth" Description of the product.

I am using BC Rich Neckthrough Guitars Loaded W/ EMG H4 Passives (I don't Like Active Pickups.) and I Have Retired the Massive Poweramp Rack Set Up Because I Got My Hands On A Rivera Knucklehead K-TRE(INSANE AMPLIFIER). My Band Plays In Dropped A Tuning and I use 6 string guitars W/13-56 Jazzwound Strings..this is just to give you an idea of the demands that I am putting on this cabinet. And I can say that This thing is still delivering night after night. and we have played apox. 30 shows since Sept of 07' and 200+ Shows Since I have owned this cab..this cab sounds great. I am considering asking them about an endorsement for the cabs..So I can run 2 full stacks..when space allows..lol..

I have depended on this cab night after night for several years without a backup, I am playing tonight in sioux City and tomorrow night in des Moines and this cab has never let me down(Knock On wood)
and it is still the ugliest thing I own..So Torn up and scraped and scratched. ugly as hell..but I wouldn't have it any other way. Pretty gear is for people who don't use the stuff..this thing has a detailed road map of every mile of its entire life torn and scratched all over it...And it is still rock solid..

Still never dealt with them..but from some other reviews I have read here and other places..it seems there support has some issues..hmm
...Big company syndrome most likely..probably no worse than marshall support..lol...RIVERA! now there is support..most likely you will end up talking to someone who helped design the amp if you call Rivera. I DID..no joke

I have been Playing for 15+ years and I own 7 guitars (2 BC RICH, 2 Fenders, 2 Ibanez, and an oddball D'armmond 7 String)and two rack setup amps, and my rivera k-tre, the behringer 4x12, A line 6 Pod 1.0 w/ Floor board, Pod XT live, 79' Fender Reverb Deluxe, Quite a bit of gear, and this cab is great, I would replace it in a heart beat if it were stolen, and I could at this price, another great feature..handing a marshall cab it's ass and costing 1/3 the price..

its like comparing American Eagle Clothing to Dickies Clothing..
American eagle is more expensive and more people want it..
but when it gets to the nitty gritty the dickies are gonna win because there made to last..nothing to do with a brand name.

My Behringer was made in 2001. I purchase in january 12 2007 from musicians friend. I use my Marshall valvestate vs 100 head and my Digitech GNX1 guitar processor.it gives me nice tight low end .

I use distortion,noise gate,compressor and eq to tight my soundon the clean channel. My Marshall volume is in only volume 2 and is loud when i got to vol3 it gets brutal. me personal i keep it 4 .I play brutal death metal

The Behringer cab is good loud enoght for gigs.

No problems with the cabbinet. Built like a TANK

If you want a good affordabel 412 cabbinet go for behringer reconmended. :) it will give you nice low tight low end

all the features have been listed time and time again...you all know this cab already

I have read alot of reviews of this cab that say it lacks low end..and to get a better cab than this, and I can say from experience that this amp carries more note definition and bottom end than a 1960a marshall cab with a JCM 800 sitting on top of it. this cab is only capable of what you put into it...of course I was running a rack with an obsenely large power amp(2400 watts, big amp+low output=all the power you would ever need,push that cab as hard as it can go)and this cab has been on this power amp for nigh 3 years, and it still screams...I love it!!!

I have really abused this thing...there is tears and scratches all over this cab,and large sections of its covering torn or ripped...this cab is ugly..I have beaten this thing unmercifully for 3 years(all live gigging without a backup)and here it stands...not to mention what I have done to this cab with my rack setup(see above)those speakers still sound just as good as the day I bought it..So yeah I would say it is reliable..

I have never dealt with them....but there manuals are really wordy and helpful..lol

I have been playing guitar for 15 years and I have had the pleasure of using some of the nicest vintage amps and epuipment out there...and some of the "nicer" modern stuff as well...and this cab will hold its own against most of the consumer level products out there on the market today.

The features are okay, but it is not like it is celestions or anything. The Jensen's are very decent and it sounds good. In the future, if the speakers do fry on Me, im thinking of putting in great speakers on it, maybe Voxes or Celestions. And of course it is just a cab, its a big bulky thing with speakers that makes you sound better and louder.

DUde it is awesome sounding, so far i only gigged with it once, but im starting to become very afraid, because it gave up on some people. Despite that, the sound is very good, as the one guy said, the sound is full, the lows are great, and the highs have defenition. What else can you say, it beats the $300 line 6 once, and the crates, and defenitely a lot of Marshalls, except probably the very expensive and high end once.

I do not know yet but im starting to become afraid, that it might give up on me like on those people who gig hard. Because my band is starting to gig really hard.

I do not know yet, because so far it hasnt done anything yet.

This cab is really great for the price. I really love the sound that it gives, and after reading reviews I would take care of this one. I dont want no speakers to blow out on me on some gig, that would definitely stink. This one beats cabs less than 300 dollars, and it truly does make you sound better. IT is great for hard rock and alternative.

Excellent: mono-stereo config.Front loaded 12 inch Jensens, Tough Castors Or wheels And rubber feet too.Nice metal grill.Two top speakers each facing outwards,(to the left and to the right,at 30 degrees it seems.Nice plywood front baffle,the rest is MDF composite stuff.A word to those who say it does not roll properly on its wheels....Mine did this at the store when I bought it.Once home,pulled the castors off and greased the pins and mounts.Thats it, nice and smoooth now.Small detail,easily taken care of.

Superb! It really has the balls of one of my old Marshall cabs from the 80's.This impressed me big time.I also consider it better because the sound is GREAT from all angles not from just directly in front as those Silly overpriced nowadays Marshalls are.Brutal sound-spread,very efficient speakers in this thing.It does clean or all out raunch with clarity and ease.Not spikey in the highs at all.Nice and smooth,buttery tone here.It really reproduces the sound of your amp,pre-amp.Makes your EQ work like a charm,responsive to tweaks.All in all,a very rewarding tone.Tried it with a few heads and they all sounded distinct and rich.

Just got it so lets hope for the best.But like anything else,if you take care of it,it should last.Build quality appears good.

These people seem to have their stuff together.Have not had to deal with them yet.

Been playing over 25 years.Have Marshall,Fender,Peavey stuff too.This cabinet is excellent sounding and looks great.I've had many 4x12 cabs. (all Marshalls)This is a keeper.Decent cabs are going for 700.00 to 1000.00 these days,so this one really wins all the categories.I'm already wanting another.Compare it to a recent Marshall 1960 4x12,it blows it away in price and performance,as well as looks and styling.You simply can't go wrong with this cab.I love it.

4x12 Speaker Cab...4 12" 50w Jensens...black grill covering...black tolex...dual inputs, mono or stereo, 8 ohms...

I've had this for a bit over a year and while I was never really satisfied with it I didn't really complain about it. I mean, it cost me $250, seriously. BUT, today, it finally shit out on me. The other guitarist in my band got one at the same time as me and his shit out on him a few months ago...what do I mean by "shit out on me"...I mean, the speakers gave out and they're woofing something awful. Very muddy.

So in short, the cab is not poorly made by any means, in fact you could do a lot worse. However, the speakers are the shits. In the first place they're very shrilly and the low end is muddy, but obviously if you're in a regularly gigging band as I am, whether they sound good or not doesn't matter since they have no life in them (barely over a year...inexcusable....).

I'm not going to buy one again, although for the price of the cab you could simply take out the speakers and replace them with whatever your heart desires...since it's a pretty well made cab.

Beware, the thing weighs a TON. Freaking heavy.

Not good! One year is not a good lifetime for a 200 watt cab!

I had it for about one year, give or take, and the speakers died on me.

In short, buy this cab if you know what you are doing, want to save some money and will simply replace the speakers. Otherwise, I'm afraid to say it should be avoided at all costs.

I'm your average Joe who plays what he happens to play. I've had the cab for over a year, and have gigged with it countless times. I can tell you that it's black and has 4 12" Jensens, but that's about it. Oh, one thing, and I will detract from the score, the wheels are absolutely retarded! Every one of these cabs that I have seen can do one thing - turn left! Retarded! Ah well, go to Guitar Center and get some Ernie Balls for $20, it works fine now.

I can't give this more than a 7, because well...it's a cab! How many features should it have??? Are there super-duper bells and whistle cabs out there with digital LEDs and special switches and such? I think not. SEVEN.

I've played through Marshalls, Laneys...that's about it, but I've had plenty experience with both of those. The Behringer blows Marshall out of the freaking water. Whereas the Marshall sounds farty, lifeless, not full...this cab has low-end in spades, the highs are very pronounced, and the mids...are mids!

For this price, you can't do better. Unless you get an Avatar, I'm sure. I've heard many great things about 'em.

I've dropped it on concrete, gravel, carpet, stones, wood, my foot...its sound hasn't been affected in the least, all 4 speakers are functioning. It's reliable as fvck.

It's also heavy as fvck! This thing is HEAVY!!! Be warned!

I've been playing for 10 years, this is the best cab I've ever owned, and for the price, I ain't bitching. I play a Carvin X100B 100w tube head through it, it's simply fantastic. No complaints. I'm sure it isn't the best, and many would avoid it because of the name on the front.

Do yourself a favor, check one out. Massive low end and screaming highs, and stuff. Great value, sturdy as fvck.

4/12 slant cab with jensen speakers.Top 2 speakers angled outward left and right respectively of their position to "fill" the room with your sound.mono/stereo switch is nice to have but honestly havent used it yet except to see if it worked before i bought the cab.400 watts 8 ohms and 200 watts per side for stereo use.(Dont plug a stereo into it, its for "stereo" use of 2 guitarists or 2 amps through the same cab).The casters sucked like stated in every other review and i immediately replaced them.This cab is very versatile to me for my thrash/prog style of metal.I "auditioned" the amp at a music store with my old Hughes&Kettner solid state attax100 head.REMEMBER THOSE? HAHAHA Played through the clean channell with a boss metal zone and the cab ripped me in half!Then i played through the dirty channel w/o the boss and got the same result and actually heard my amp like i have never heard it before, the highs were insane and the lows were tight as ever.Plus the preamp tube was at the time 9 yrs old and heavily abused!! I took the cab home after paying about 310 us dollars and plugged it into my peavey xxx and it sounded even tighter.I have had the cab for close to 3 yrs now.Bought at xmas time 2002.

At the time of purchase i was playing a jackson 1987 strat body guitar with a stock jackson humbucker in the bridge.I playd that guitar as well as an ibanez 1996 saber for close to 1 year without any effects.Just straight through the amp to the cab 8 ohm mono selction.The whole time of use has been for rehearsals with drummer and bassist and the cab fills the room with sound.I was also running the cab with a mesa 4/12 from the same peavey xxx amp and i could hear the behringer over the mesa in any position in the room.2 20 Foot 12 gauge speaker cables to each cab.Mesa in center of room and behringer in the right corner beside the drummer.From where i was standing right inbetween them i could hear the behringer over the mesa.So after 1 year or so i could hear a slight loosening of the low end to the point of "woofing" out so i brought the highs up a little and brought the bass down from 6 to 4 and it cleared right up.Been the same for the past year and not a problem yet.No rattling, woofing, peaking or clipping.It has held up well and im proud to have one in my possession.

Im not sure if i can depend on it in a live gig because i havent gigged yet but the thought has crossed my mind and im sure i wouldnt have a problem with playing live with this cabinet at all.And without a backup as well.Im very pleased with how well and loud the cabinet is and like i said it is louder and has more "thrust" than my old 1991 marshall 150 watt 2/12 (used nowadays for practicing at home with the old h&k) and the mesa 280 watt 4/12.The sound just cuts through like a fireball and is very loud and clear.I have since added a boss chorus pedal and a blues driver and when they are stomped on for my lead sound the sound is very tight and clear with all the picking nuances of my playing intact without any sweetener.I know a lot of the sound has to do with the amp but the cabinet is an extension of the amp and you yourself as well and a behringer cab, for the price( a steal) would compliment any player in almost any style.When playing through the clean channell of the xxx with a boss chorus the sound is amazingly bright and shimmery without any rattle or woof from the speakers.Go and get one you will not be dissapointed!!!!

I contacted a support center in early 2003 out of seattle i think? (SCRATCHES HEAD) To try and find where i can get ahold of a straight cab to compliment the slant and the fellow i talked to (sorry, forget his name) was very friendly and helpful.At the time he took my info and instated my warranty info which is now up but was very worthwhile to call.Well i did get the info on where to find a straight cab and will be purchasing one soon if my budget permits me soon.I look forward to it with much delight.

I have been playing steadily for 12 years and now own a Laney vh100r 100 watt amplifier and play that through the behringer slant 4/12.The cab held up well with the h&k solid state when i auditioned the cab.Played and sounded great with the peavey xxx head for close to a year and a half and now the past 6 months have been just as good if not better because the cab has been broken in and has not wavered from the tone and sound it had when first purchased.Except for the slight "bass woofing" which wasnt that bad and easily remedied.If the cab was stolen of course i would be upset and i would call my posse to look for it and the end result of the culprit i cannot state here hehehehe but i would most definetly buy another one.What i love about the cab is that it has handled everything i have thrown at it as far as amps and effects and the volume has always been at 5 or 6 with gain at 7 or 8.So the loud volume hasnt degraded the quality in the slightest.I recently let a friend play a Krank revolution series 1 100 watt amp that was designed with the helping hand of Mr. Dimebag Darrell (r.i.p)
plug into the cab at full volume and it was quiet, extremely responsive and the tight end was of course of the krank and it tightened up like cold butter.Which is extremely odd being that the cab is of particle board and mostly glued together it didnt seem to want to "break" at all.And still to this day i havent received any rattle from the steel grill in even the slightest.Also changing the casters didnt seem to alter the tonal qualities or sound quality in anyway.My cab to this day looks brand new because it hasnt left the rehearsal room even once and not taking it to different places in different weather conditions has been to my benefit im sure and to the cabs as well.When that changes i will of course come back after gigging for 6 months and leave a new review to let y'all now about any changes in any of the cabs qualities.

this review is about a behringer bg412s ultrastack cab, which is a stereo cab(surround option) , 8 ohm impedance, 400W, jensen equipped 12" .i bought it in 2005 from an online store.in my oppinion it suits just about any style of music, is very versatile, all though the speakers are not the best , they are allright.im give it a 9 because it has any features a cab should have and more, but the speakers are the greatest(celestion 30's or other top speakers).it handles just about any power you drive it.

im using a ibanez rg guitar with several ibanez and boss pedals through my fx loop of the custom made 200W all tube head.
i'm playin' metal , nu-metal , alternative and it sounds good for what i need
.it produces the sound naturally(the way it should) in my oppinion ,so if you have good gear then it will sound the way you want. both clean and distortion sounds good, and I THINK IT HAS ENOUGH LOW END even if others are not satisfied with it.play a bass with distortion if you're not satisfied.i'm tuned pretty low( b,f#,b,e,g#,c#) so i know what low end means.it ratles a lil at high volumes but you wont noticed it unless you want too.for the money is sounds very nice, and can be compared to cabs twice the price.its not noisy, it delivers the sound that come out from your amp, gear..

i just bought it so i cant tell how much reliabil is , but its built like a tank

when i was to behringer romania to ask some info's about the cab , they were pretty friendly , and even showed me what speakers it has inside it.did not have the chance yet to do repairs and stuff,hopefully :D.

very good cab. it worth its money, i think i cannot be beaten at its price.marshall at 300$ wont do the job. go for behringer bg412S , with jensens. it WORTH.you will be satisfied as i am , if you are on a low budget and you need a decent cab , but not spending a fortune.

To all you guy's who have something to complain about the low end (not to piss-off anyone just for info) maybe it is your amp not delivering the low's. I play a very old japanese made, low output ibanez sg through a marshall 9060 (unknown 2x300 watt poweramp) and my house practically shakes apart.
