Behringer GM110 Combo

TWEED.....fender setting
BRITISH.... Marshall setting
CALIFORNIAN setting ......mesa boogie
U.S speaker setting 2 x12"
U.K speaker setting 4 x12"
Flat speaker setting 1 x10"

I play a fender stratocaster with "57/62" vintage reissue pickups and i use pure nickel wound strings as they have more of a sweeter vintage tone than regular nickel plated steel strings.
I must say that i did the worst possible thing that a musician can do , by buying a piece of musical equipment without trying it out first . I came across this amp while thumbing through a brochure that was sent in the mail . What got my attention was the fact that this amp had 3 of the most sought after amp simulations and it also various speaker simulations, and all this for a couple of hundred dollars.
I must say that i bought this amp on the strengths of the reviews posted here.
The salesman told me over the phone that if was not satisfied with the amp he would happily return my money , but he assured me that i would not be returning it as all previous buyers had not sent theirs back .
OK !!! so what is the amp like then
The vintager has the most authentic valve simulation tone i have ever heard i would describe it as warm, sweet and glassy.The amp has a 10" vintage design jensen speaker which sounds just beautiful.
The tweed setting is my favourite, it"s outstanding , it sounds just like an vintage fender amp, i can"t believe how tubey this thing is . The british setting is also remarkable nailing that classic marshall tone which just kicks arse ,. the californian setting which simulates the mesa boogie sound is the one i use the least that does not mean it's no good though i just prefer the other two.
On top of all this you get a tough well made beautiful vintage looking amp complete with a cool looking chrome top plate and a nice silver tweed cloth and chicken head nobs.
Even if you Did not play guitar it would look cool, in your house

Going fine so far with no problems

Have not had any dealings with behringer, so i don't know????

There are many products out there all claiming to capture that classic valve tone with soild state circuitry ,most can not do it
But this little gem can , whether you play clean or dirty loud or soft whatever style you play this amp is a must have.
You can get any sound and out of this amp it is alo easy to mimic the sound of you favourite guitarist. This is not a one sound amp, its 3 classic amps in one
Forget brand names, this amp is bound to be a classic in time to come. Iam just glad i have one , Value for money is incredible.

As described below. A second channel (with switching) would be the icing on the cake but for the money, who can complain. I've only had it for three weeks and have gigged with it a couple of times. DI output to the pa works well so the limited 30w output is no problem. 30w is plenty for lounge room jamming! A little tweaking of the settings results in a very tubey sound.

I use an Ibanez Talman with two humbuckers and a single coil. All sound great through the amp - I play sixties/seventies rock. The amp is a little hissy on some settings but not a problem. I can go from a pristine clean sound to a very dirty Mesa Boogie sound.

Who knows? I work very close to the store where I bought it so if it goes wrong they will be seeing a lot of me until it is fixed. I'm hoping the German design will stand it in good stead.

Behringer are an unknown quantity to me. We shall see????

Been playing for 30 years and still get a buzz out of it! It is so light to handle and provides such a variety of sounds for very little outlay. i did consider a Roland Cube 30 but I don't need all the effects because a friend has lent me a Boss ME33.

For the money it is a great little amp. If you have a limited budget or just have other priorities like me (family, house, food, etc etc) it is worth having a look at.

First, let's get one thing out of the way: This amp is a direct clone of the Tech 21 Trademark 10, albeit with a slightly higher power rating. The control panel is identical, the outputs are identical, and the sounds... the sounds are pretty close. Both are low powered, single channel amps with three switches that control the gain and tone, approximating the classic Fender, Marshall and Mesa/Boogie tones. Like the Trademark 10, this amp also has an effects loop, a balanced low-Z out, and a speaker out as well.

I play a variety of styles, and bought this amp for home recording and low-level jamming rock and blues, in part to replace a Peavy Classic 20 I've had for a few years but was never really satisfied with. I have to admit I also bought it out of curiosity, wondering if Behringer could really copy the Trademark 10 at less than half the price. Well, came very close. This unit has a few buzzes and noises you won't find in the Tech 21 units, particularly when cranked up full, but it's a very usable amp with a lot of tonal variation- much more than the Peavy, and with much better tone, despite the Peavy's classic EL84 circuit. Power wise it's not really much louder than the Peavy or the Trademark 10, despite the 30 watt rating. But it's loud enough for jamming and recording, and the low-Z out lets you run it through the PA, so volume isn't really a factor.

Is it dependable? Who knows? It hasn't broken down on me yet, but from what others have reported Behrniger gear isn't the most reliable on the planet. I don't think I'd be comfortable using this without a backup, but at less than a hundred bucks that's not difficult. But I'd rather take my Trademark 60.

Behringer has repair centers around North America and Europe, but to be eligible for the one-year warranty a card must be returned to Behringer in Germany within 14 days! That can be kind of tough for buyers in some countries. On the other hand, laws in the US require sellers to honor all advertised warranties with no more than a proof of purchase, so perhaps this isn't a factor to be concerned about.

I've been playing for about 34 years (!) and I've owned dozens of tube and solid-state amplifiers over that time- in fact, I own 7 right now. I have a few guitars, too, and I usually use this amp with my Strat and my Tele. Overall I'm pleased with this amp- particularly given the cheap price. It's got more tonal variation than anything else I own other than my Trademark 60. The one place I'd fault it is in delivering a really clean tone; this amp doesn't make it with my jazz boxes at all. If I lost it, I might replace it with another- or I might buy a Trademark 10, just for the peace of mind.

Everything necessary for outstanding tone. No effects. But there is an effect loop.

With my Gretsch New Jet, this thing sounds AMAZIZING. Way more distortion than I need (contemporary Christian music), but the distortion is very tube-like - and I know what tubes sound like because I also own a '72 Ampeg V-4. On the tweed setting the sound is very clean, yet far from sterile. The sounds are quite versatile and VERY NICE. Forget that it only cost me 99 bucks. It sounds great for an amp that would cost many times that.

Only played it for a short time, but no problems.

I have been playing for 31 years (although I'm still only mediocre). But I have been around the block a few times in regards to the music and gigging scene. THIS IS THE BEST 99 BUCKS I EVER SPENT FOR MY MUSIC PURSUITS. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this little gem - especially at this price. This is one of the few times I feel as though I got much more than my money's worth. Get one.

- 2002
- lots of sounds (almost every "popular" guitarsound
- 1 channel
- 30 watts
- similar to Tech 21 Trademark 10, but without reverb

I use it with a Yamaha Pacifica. The clean sounds are brilliant, but maybe the amp is not loud enough for playing with your band. The hi-gain sounds kick ass and the amp gets really loud with them.

I also use it with Behringers V-Amp2. Plug the V-Amp into the FX return and get blowed away. Its a great way to amplify your V-Amp sounds.

Have it for a few weeks now, nothing to report.

E-Mailed them a few times and got quick answers.

This amp is AWESOME!!! The price is wonderful. I would definetely buy it again. It lacks a reverb, but I use my V-Amp as an effect unit, so this doesn't matter that much to me. Thanks Behringer!!

This amp has 30-watts RMS power, an italian made Jenson 10" 35-watt original speaker, 3 amp models, an XLR line-out for recording, but the effects send can be used for a 1/4" unbalanced line out to the console, Effects loop, an 8-ohm speaker out, headphone jack. Pretty much the only thing this amp doesn't have is Reverb, which would have been a nice addition...but for the retail price on this amp...you couldn't ask for more. Also, this amp is solid state.

This amp is a "vintage" sounding amp, hence the name, Vintager. It does a remarkable job reproducing the sounds of various sought after amp models. I can get a passable/comparable Vox tone out of this thing that gives the 2,500 dollar AC-30 a run for its money. Surprisinglygood warmth for a solid-state amp. I have a Roland JC-77 for all my clean tones, and was looking to buy a used Vox AC-30 or a Vox AC-15....then I plugged into this little thing sitting in the corner. Wow. I can get almost any kind of sound out of this thing that I want. I used a 2001 Fender mexican strat with this amp, and it sounded unbelievable...looking down at the pricetag, my heart skipped a beat and it was on the counter within the minute after playing it. This amp costs as much as some guitar effects pedals...If you want to simulate some good classic U2, Beatles, Stones, Who type sounds...even if you aren't on a budget...get this amp. I can get a very, very nice "early-U2" sound within seconds of turning it on. Set the drive to about 10 oclock, amp- tweed, mode- clean, speaker- UK, and the level all the way. It drives nicely. You can set the lows, mids, and highs to your preference...because the amp gives your settings the characteristic tone of the amp you are trying to emulate. Very low noise.

I've just purchased this amp, but it seems extremely well built. It weighs 30 lbs...nice and light. I've played it for about 4 total hours so far...an hour at a time before turning it off. I think it could handle a gig well...You might need to mic it in some situations.

Haven't dealt with this company.

My overall rating is a 10...Price versus sound/value...probably the best deal on the market today for someone on a budget/begginer, or any skill level. The purists will say its crap, but you can't deny the fact that this is the eyar 2002 and amazing things are happening in the realm of guitar amplification. You can get this amp for 99 bucks out of Musicians Friend.

Features: adjustable gain, mid/treble/bass, level. Three switches:

Amp models with Calif(ornia), UK, Tweed.
Gain with clean, hi-gain and hot settings
Speaker with US (2 x 12" open) UK (4X12" sealed) and Flat

Inbuilt balanced DI with ground lift, speaker out recommended 8ohm, FX send/return. If the FX out only without return is used it becomes an unbalanced line out.

Very configurable, getting decent volume with clean settings means winding up level and gain. Putting the amp into hi-gain will deliver plenty of punch for rehearsals. Maybe a small gig.
Goes from clean to mean, won't quite get metal.

Lots of picking dynamics, but it's still not a tube amp. Close, and for recording and having fun this is a good little number. I have a home-made 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and this thing sounds somewhat similar, just not as 'natural' and harmonic-like.

Lots of sounds from the surprisingly few controls. The speaker and substantial transformer seem to be the key to good flat-out performance - not fartiness or speaker inefficiency. Given it's humble spec I'd give it high marks.

Be careful powering on - I had some knobs twiddled and for a moment thought I'd have to return it with a nasty overtone on all speaker sims. I turned everything to zero and cycled the power on/off - problem gone. The manual cautions you to power on with everything on zero.

Never dealt with them, good website/dwnloads.

Been playing a log time. Wanted something small, light and with headphones. This is it, and a bonus is the power and features like the DI out and speaker, FX in and outs.

For the dollars a great buy and very versatile. You can get Marshall, Mesa, Fender, Hi Watt sounds with a few twiddles. The whole volume range is usable. Long-term? Who knows. For the price it's disposable.

It's the new '02 model... apparently just released.

I wish I was able to get that far...

Unfortunately it didn't work at all. I seem to have had the same problem as the harp player that reviewed this amp before me. Coincidently, I'm also a harp player. I wanted to do things correctly, so I started out by plugging in my Strat... the jewel light came on but I couldn't get any signal. I fiddled with it for about 15 minutes but finally gave up.

I purchased it through zzounds.com... their service is always pretty good.

Well, I would've like it to work. Unfortunately, I can't afford to use equipment that is inconsistant and could give me problems. First impressions are everything and I don't think I'll be trying another Behringer. This is also my first non-vintage, non-boutique amp. I normally play with old 60s Fenders (63 & 64 Princetons, 60 & 63 Concerts, 64 Super Reverb and a couple Victorias and some other fun toys). This was my first amp to have modern thingys in it such as an FX loop. Hey, I tried...

amp is a new product 2002....solid state analog........was very excited about this amp.if it did/sounded like what it said it would and with a price of 100.00 bucks then how could i go wrong...any way upon recieving the amp i immediatly opened the box and plugged this sucker in(all the time admiring how cool looking and well built it appeared to be)so...i turns it on the jewel light glows a beautiful red.....all the time im getting more and more excited..i plug in my microphone grab my favorite lee oskar harmonica and let it rip.......what do i hear coming from the amp?...NOTHING..NO OUTPUT AT ALL...thinking to myself.. what did i do wrong?....after trying everything i could think of i had to accept the fact that this amp was defective.....so its back to my favorite internet store........am i going to get a replacement for it?....you bet............like i mentioned..there is just waaaaaay to much about this amp that appeals to me

wish i knew

again..wish i knew

i did call Behringer and told them of my problem...the person i spoke with did seem concerend.of course he told me what i already knew...."send it back and get a replacement"

dont know....will let you know when i get the replacement......also where as these reviews,so far, seem to be coming from a guitar players point of view mine will be coming from a "harp" point of view

1st year 2002 bought it to take to jams. the amp is loud has nice
distortion in clean mode "I" dont like the overdrive "fuzz" sound,
but it smokes w/a strat or sg. Power is very clear & tone controls
work very well. Hard to tell its not tubes

Amp has very odd sound but you control it w/3 slide sw. makes a strat sound like a paul makes a paul sound like a strat. Git the picture? very nice clean sound overdrive distortion is deadly.

Bought it let it run over night, still works. Id trust it, I looked inside and noticed it was very well built.

Behringer's a ass to deal with good product bad relations.

I been playin' a long time. this amp is great for one thing. Acc/Elec.
Use it w/your box gtr & p/u. It really sounds great. Im using it w/a ibanez tcy 15 and chet atkins nylon. The amp cuts through very well,
I bought it for elec. gtr but it kicks ass with a accoustic.,
