Behringer GM110 Combo

2005. Drive, Amp model switch, Gain Level switch, Speaker switch and Bass, Mid, Treb, and Master. Pretty normal for a small amp. But...Effects Loop, Speaker Out, and Direct Out w/speaker compensation and Ground Lift.. No other amp at this price range comes close to the features. Which would not matter if it didn't sound good, but this one sounds very good in certain uses. Looks pretty good too. I cut the middle of the Behringer logo plate out and stuck it back together so now mine just says Beer.

A quick story... I got this just for the price and because I've always had some Behringer stuff around, and I know they build things well. I played this for a while and didn't really like the sound through the speaker, as the Flat setting (which is supposed to be used when using the speaker) didn't seem too lively or exciting. I mean it sounds good, but not crazy good. I hooked up the XLR Direct Out to my digital recorder, did some recording, got busy and forgot about it. A week later I put this amp on Ebay for $50 bucks. A week and a couple days later I was listening to some of my recordings and when I heard the Behringer recording I was like, "What the f-- was that!" Oh yeah, that little Behringer amp. Fortunately no one had bid, so I quick yanked it off Ebay because it's a direct recording monster. I have NEVER heard an amp that direct records as well as this thing. The speaker sound isn't great, but go direct and you've got a Mesa Rectifier, a Marshall JCM, and a passable clean sound. So, it's got a home after all. Oh yeah, the effects loop actually works, which is not always the case on small amps.

For $99, if it lasts for a while I'll be happy. But truthfully, I've never had a Behringer product break except for one volume pot on a little mixer. Their stuff is very well built, and this is no exception. In fact, I really don't know how they can build and ship this amp for $99 and still make a profit, but I guess that's their problem. So far, so good on this one. It doesn't look or feel like it would be less reliable than other brands, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Never dealt with them, and probably wouldn't try if this thing fries.

For $99 bucks it's just beyond anything you can get. It sounds awesome when going direct, and if you hook it up to a different speaker that sounds good too. I have hooked this up to a Celestion Vintage 30 8 Ohm, and it sounds really good. However, I will not be using this amp live any time soon, because people would laugh at me. But... I will be using it in my studio for heavy distorted Mesa/Marshall type sounds because the same people who would laugh at this amp if they saw it, are awestruck by the recorded sounds it can produce. People can be stupid, as we all know. I hope this helps some of you make a decision on this amp. I've been playing for 25 years and have had a lot of amps.

My GM110 was made in 2005 (if I understand the serial number). As a knock off of the Tech 21 Trademark 30 (something I've wanted for awhile but couldn't afford), it has all the features I was looking for. The amp is VERY versatile in a studio setting, as the active EQ works very well with the drive and speaker sim character switches to provide a wide range of usable tones, from sparkling cleans to very dynamic metal sounds.

Live, the amp is, technically, only one channel, which would seem to limit its usefulness. However it has several benefits. One: it is very touch sensitive. Dial in a crunchy lead tone, back off your guitar's volume knob, and voila, you have a two channel amp (like back in the old days)! More usefully, the amp has a nice effects loop. I looped in my Digitech RP-50 (a $50 multieffector), which lets me add in chorus, delay, reverb etc. to help flesh out the tone. The RP-50 is true bypass, so I can shut it off when I don't need it. The final step in my tone recipe is a Behringer GDI-21 (their knock-off of the Tech 21 SansAmp GT. I used to have a GT, and the Behringer sounds exactly the same to me. I put that in FRONT of the amp (it is also true bypass) and step on it for a volume boost, or dramatically different sound for leads. It works best if the amp is set cleaner, and the pedal gives the grind, but your mileage may vary. The amp is not super loud, but the GDI-21 gives a serious kick in the slats to the volume department.

The amp sounds awesome through headphones (it is the best headphone amp I've ever had), is loud enough for playing in the house or with friends, and for gigging it would be fine if miked, if the output was routed to the board, or if plugged into a speaker cabinet, or if the drummer wasn't Ginger Baker.

I use this with my 1989 American Standard Strat with Lace Sensors, my 2000 Carvin DC-127 with Carvin humbuckers, and with my Agile AL-3000 with P-90's. Each guitar sounds like itself, and each pickup combination sounds great. Unlike other amps, which sometimes take away the guitar's tone, the Behringer stuff (like the Tech 21 gear it is based on) only enhances your tone. I have fallen in love with my Strat again, thanks to this gear.

Some of the higher gain settings are rather noisy, but that is to be expected. It is only noticeable when you aren't playing. Also the RP-50 has a noise gate, which can help.

This seems pretty sturdy, and the owner of the music store says he has sold lots, with no returns. I have to send the warranty card to Germany (yikes!), but I'm sure that if it broke it would either be fixed or replaced.

I have never dealt with the company. The warranty is one year.

I've been playing for 18 years or so, and this is part of my plan to scale down to smaller, lighter, less expensive gear. This amp, the Digitech pedal and the Behringer pedal (which fit in the back for carrying) weigh less than 30 pounds, and sound great. More significantly the total cost is less than $200 for a 1X10 30 watt amp. I am very happy with it, and am enjoying the process of playing with it, and finding my tones. There is a great site out there with settings for the Trademark 10 amp which seem to apply, but because the Tech 21 uses chicken head knobs with a center detent, and my amp uses 0-10 knobs it makes it a little hard to suss out the settings. But using my ears helps more than using my eyes, and I am very happy with this little guy.

Finally, I am very pleased with it on the cosmetic front. It is a black amp with Marshall style white piping around a black cloth grille. It came with a garish logo screwed onto the front that hawked the "analog modeling", but when I unscrewed it, you would never know it had been there. Now, it looks like a classy little blackface amp. Kudos to Behringer for their design.

I've owned this amp for about 3 years now. The only thing I have to say is that this amp loves humbuckers.

On the other hand it will take single coil guitars and eat them for lunch.

If you must get this amp, make sure you have a nice guitar with some warm, fat humbuckers, or else you will probably be severely disappointed. I've used this amp with a '57 Strat, a couple SGs, a Fender Toronado, and a Telecaster. This amp failed to deliver on single coil equipped guitars, but on the SGs and the Toronado it sounded beautiful.

I will say it again. Humbuckers are a must.

Died on me once. Problem solved.

Not sure of the year but mine is one of the 'newer' looking ones with black grillcloth and 'regular' knobs instead of chicken-head knobs. Doesn't bother me because the sound is the same as the 'older' ones and that is what matters. The amp is very versitle. I can get tones that sound to me like other amps and tones off of records. Most importantly to me I can get MY sound of of this little puppy which has not been easy for me to do with any amp, transistor or tube. Once you play with the switches and understand what they do to the sound I think it is easy to tweak the amp to get any tone you want. Its no harder really than using a stompbox.

10! 10! 10! It may just be me, but I have trouble getting the tone I want out of a lot of amps. This amp and its companion the GDI21 have no problem delivering that tone in spades as well as a host of other great tones! I am a huge fan of the Edge, but I've never wanted to spring for a AC30, nor do I really think that amp would fit what I am doing. To my ears I can dial in a slightly overdriven clean tone on this amp no problem and then use my pedals to drive it harder. Did I mention that this thing reacts great with pedals? I keep wanting to think that I am missing something that this thing and the GDI21 don't sound as great as they do, but when I play I just can't deny the evidence. I began to think that perhaps any new transistor amp could sound this good until I bought a B-52 halfstack which had great reviews. The B-52 sounded good but it didn't have the tube-like mojo that this and the GDI21 have. Running the GDI21 into the front end on a clean setting made the amp sound better on every channel. In the end I ended up running the GDI21 into the poweramp section of the B-52 bypassing the preamp section of the B-52 all together so I could have a 200watt version of this amp. I think the B-52 probably would have sounded fine if I had not been spoiled by this analog modeling technology! I use a humbucker guitar BTW.

I can't say just yet, sorry. I do own other Behringer products and so far no problems. Based on reviews of Behringer products I've read here I think they occasionally have quality control issues which means if you get a bad one it goes bad quickly and all you have to do is exchange it for another one. If you get a good one you should not have any trouble. It looks as solid as any other equipment I own.

Can't say. I like their website!

10! 10! 10! Sorry folks, I just love this amp too much, price not considered, and then when you factor in the price, oh boy! I do need to mention that this technology was developed by Tech 21. If you like the sound of this amp or the GDI21 then you should check them out as their products are probably more reliable (there are original sansamps still going strong!), they look cool, and they are the ones who pioneered this analog modeling stuff. Behringer has made this technology (and many others) very affordable. I am on a very tight budget but I need professional sound and performance. If I ever get to the point when I am making more money I will buy the Tech 21 stuff. In a way Behringer has turned me onto Tech 21 because I would have never believed that this solid state technology could sound so good, better than some tube amps I've played! And with the price of Tech 21 stuff I probably would have just bought some sort of tube amp instead. But now I am of the opinion that I may prefer this analog modeling to most tube amps. In the end I don't care if it doesn't sound like a tube amp, all I care is that it sounds good, and this thing sounds good!

The Gm110 I bought new from ZZounds.com, it was made in July of 2004 according to the date code on the little sticker on the back of the amp. It is very versatile with all the features I need, except for reverb I use a Zoom GFX-707 in the effects loop, works very well for this. Only 1 channel but has switches for the diferent emulations, I may design and install my own footswitch just to switch between clean and high gain after the warranty expires, in case I short something out, but I shouldn't have a problem I'm an electronics tech. I have only used the amp so far for practice and it's loud enough to damage my hearing on all settings. It's a solid state amplifier but it emulates the tube sound very well.

I've used a Samick Telly copy with a Bill Lawrence Humbucker as the neck pickup and a stock Duncan Designed middle pickup and the stock Duncan single coil bridge pickup.
It suits my musical style perfectly which is a mix of vintage country,and vintage mild rock, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Glen Campbell and I also play a little Santana, Hendrix, Moody Blues and Eagles early songs, my main style is rhythm guitar and backing myself singing, but I do like to take off occasionally and pick some lead fill in riffs.This amp can do it all from clean to dirty you name it and it can do it with just a little tweaking. You can get as much distortion as you want and get good crisp clean sound also.

Since I've only had it a few days I can't give an opionion on releability yet.

Don't know , I hope I'll never need any. It only has a 1 year warranty.

I've been playing on and off for over 39 years and I've owned several different amps, Peavey Classic 50 that I had to repair several times because it had a tendency to burn resistors up in the tube power section, So I sold it and then owned a Crate 30 watt for several years and then sold it and bought a Peavey Bandit solid state amp and it was ok but I never liked the sound I got from it so I traded it for a Peavey Heritage VTX which I still have and just recently repaired the power supply and replaced most of the capacitors in it and it is sounding good again. But this little Behringer Amp sounds better than the Peavey and I'll probably run the XLR output thru the Peavey Heritage Power Amp if I ever go somewhere to play and need to damage someone's hearing. I've tried it already and it works great. Right now if the Behringer was stolen I'd file an insurance claim and try to get another one. I do wish it had a foot switch but like I said I may design my own down the road someday if I get to where I just have to have one. I've read some of the other reviews about problems with this Behringer amp especially the farting sound when the volume is turned way up, well I guess I've got a good one because mine hasn't done that but once and it was when I turned it up while I was feeding the XLR into my PC's Sound card and when I turned the master gain down just slightly it went away. This amp is loud enough to really damage your hearing on all the settings even the tweed, like I said I must have gotten a very good one, that was assembled on a Tuesday.This amp records very well and I still find myself wanting to look for the tubes in it though I know it doesn't have any it just sounds like a tube amp to me, I love the sound and my wife said that she liked the sound as compared to the Peavey Heritage. For the price I don't think it can be beat.

A very simple yet versatile amp. It really delivers a lot for its size. The amp gives you a total of 27 different sounds, although that's really a load of crap in my opinion. I use all the amp models and gain modes but really only the UK speaker is usable. 30 watt solid-state combo and a great "bang for your buck" amp. 2 channels would be better but hey it's as great as it can get for the price. 3-Band EQ, Level (volume) and drive knob. It even features an effects loop which comes in really handy. And a headphone jack good for practicing. XLR out, speaker out. This amp really gives a lot of versatility for its price. Although there isn't too much difference in turning the drive around. The one-channel thing is still a disappointment for me.

FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE NEWBS THAT GIVE 10 JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK AN AMP IS BLINDLY AMAZING AND ARE TONE DEAF. READ THIS THROUGH CAREFULLY, EVEN THOSE OF YOU WHO ALREADY OWN THIS AMP. AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I am using a Granada Les Paul copy. Probably the only guitar of its kind around the world lol. Haven't found any info on it on the web. Stock pickups were obviously changed and replaced with Mighty Mite Motherbuckers. Don't let the name scare you, they are the best pickups you can get for the price. Very high gain pickups. Around 17.98k for neck and 21.6k for bridge output I think. I lowered the rhythmn pickup to be able to produce a clean sound and it turned out to give a nice tubey sound too, quite amazing things. And when combined with this amp it really shines.

There are a lot of hidden sounds in this amp that need tweaking around with to find. Metal is an obvious Cali, Hot and UK.Max drive. No mids, and full treble and bass. There's the thing I should point out. The best speaker simulation hands out is UK. The US is just terrible. This amp has a "muffled" sound. And the flat is just too thin and lifeless to me. This amp really is muffled. US makes it a lot worse is all. Trust me, when you play along with other people you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The sound always gets covered up. I really hate that, but hey it's a practise amp. I have tried gigging with it. Warning: do NOT and i repeat do NOT try it. Unless you hook it up to a pa. volumes past halfway are killer, and I mean that in a bad way. It's painful. But that's the case with most solid states. e.g. Marshall MG and Fender Reverbs. So that's not a bad thing here. But it's a really nice amp. I definitely love it hands down. And as for the muffled sound, it's because the amp doesn't have enough presence. In other words treble. Maybe a 7-band EQ will help. And behringer is coming out with stomp boxes soon with a 7-band EQ for really cheap so that might be a great addition to it to help with the muffled sound.

All in all the sounds are really great from this amp. If you want that secret tube tone out of a solid state, especially this baby because it's given the best tube-like sound I've heard from a solid state besides the Fender Priceton Chorus.

Put all your switches in the middle. By this I mean, British, Hi Gain and UK. Max your mid. Yes MAX it. And put your bass and treble at 3/4. Set the drive at max, trust me it won't give crappy distortion. The drive makes little difference when in this setting unless you totally turn it down. You need the drive at max to get smooth sustain since this is a tube setting. It won't give crappy distortion. And as for your guitar, put it on the neck pickup. This will give you an AMAZING sound. I'm not joking. If you know tube tone, you will hear it. Of course it's not going to sound exactly like a tube tone or anything close to a good one. But the sustain and warmth is absolutely amazing. Very few other amps can produce this sound. As for clean, it is quite usable actually. And not as totally quite as some people put it. Use the UK speaker setting as always, and use the Tweed and Clean settings. I know about the volume usually but trust me try this out. Put your drive to about 1/3. So not at halfway that's bad, but less. but a bit more than 1/4. So once again 1/3. And use your desired volume on the level knob. And you'll see the volume isn't too bad anymore.

If you're still not convinced, try EQing this thing. The EQ does wonders and makes a big difference. Another mediocre setting you might wanna try that works with a lot of styles in rock is 2/3 bass, almost 1/2 mid, just about. And full treble. Treble is important to stay near full since this amp has no presence at all. And British, Hi Gain, or Hot. Cali also works. And of course drive at whatever you like.

I can definitely depend on it. I do not plan on doing any more gigs with this unless I'm in a terrible situation and have no other alternative. It simply isn't loud enough and only has one channel. But it is an EXCELLENT amp. I wouldn't get any other to start off. I highly recommend this to EVERYONE that's looking for a practice amp, or something to do for small gigs. And for the price it's the best thing you can get. I really think so and I'm sure you will be convinced if you try the tube setting I recommended. Of course I wasn't very good at this stuff, and my friend Nick found the wonderful sounds in this amp. Oh and word of warning. Max bass will make you want to hurl. Unless you like shaking up the room. I do that sometimes for run with all switches on top and cut mids and maxed bass and treble. But it is dangerous to use unless you want everyone to hate your guitar playing and think you absolutely suck. Never use US speaker setting period. I still wish the speaker wouldn't rattle so much on high volumes/bass.

Never had to deal with them. So I can't really give an opinion on this matter.

Don't be taken in by what other people say. Screw brand names. You're getting a practice amp. And when you're ready to move on to something big, take a look at a Peavey Classic 50. Another bang for your buck amp and it's a top of the line amp. At the height of Marshalls top end amps and beyond any Fender Twin in my opinion. OD pedal is nice to have though. Anyways this is about a Behringer GM110. And I would definitely repurchase if stolen or lost. It's a nice sidekick to have and I will never sell it. Remember one thing though, handle will fall off, so be prepared to use two hands.

Buy it! You will not be disappointed. Don't think just buy. And if you end up getting a bug don't give this amp a bad rap. Just try out another one. Defects do turn out sometimes.

Also I realize that this amp is not worth 170 CAD, especially when it's used. But I was new in the market when I bought this and I still do not regret it. It's worth every penny and a lot more.

If you need any other input on this, just email me. There's two underscores in my email btw.

Read prior reviews for details.
No effects, no reverb, and an anemic volume with the tweed setting. However, this inexpensive little amp really can morph your sound. Controls can dial in a very wide range of tones. Impressive!!!! That's the most important feature an amp can have. For the other stuff, simply use your pedal/s.

As a fifty-five-year-old roots rocker, I stick pretty much to the tweed sound. Tube, shmube! This setting sounds wonderfully warm, especially with my Dano 59 DC. Cool for practicing and recording but no way for the stage unless your in a very small room and the drummer is using brushes. Fun to play around with the other options.

Had it for only a few months.

Playing mainly pop and rock and soul/R&B for nearly forty years. I love Fender stuff--a '72 Tele Custom, two Strats (one a Jimmy V. with THE perfect maple neck for me) and '68 Super and Princeton reverb amps and lots of other stuff. I don't need this amp but I had to try it because of the ridiculously low cost and the rave reviews here. Glad I did. It is great on a number of levels--for practice, recording, and also as a toy and a conversation piece, etc. Despite its limitations, what a very good sound for the money. You probably don't need this amp either unless you're a beginner or would like a decent practice amp that doesn't wear out your tubes--great on these scores. And for the $ . . . ? Behringer is the price/quality champ!

Here are the features, as stated at Musician's Friend (the other reviews have them pretty well covered also):

30W RMS amp
Original Jensen? 35W 10" speaker
3 amp models
3 speaker simulations
3 gain modes, individually selectable and purely analog
Wide-range drive control for super-fat sounds with any pickups
Extensive master section with powerful 3-band EQ and master level control
Balanced XLR DI out delivers full preamplified sound
Serial effects loop allows integration of outboard gear
Additional 8-ohm speaker out with automatic internal speaker mute
14-1/2"W x 15"H x 9-1/2"D
28 lbs.

I'd say it has more features than you could shake a stick at. All of these would be irrelevant if the thing sounded awful. But...good heavens! This little giant is the absolute bomb! IMHO, it can waaay cut any amp under $500.00. I love my Delta Blues, but the Vintager cops the Fender chime in a way the the DB will never be able to.

It should be noted, upfront, that I HATED the Vampire, and devoted a certain amount of venom to it on these pages. More...

I purchased this, essentially, as a jobbing amp which could yield a little in volume and features. I had not tested it, and I bought it on the basis of price and favorable reviews. I wasn't expecting much.

Well, it does scads of things well, but for my personal purposes, it is nearly perfect. To wit:
-Handy size. Wonderful.
-Volume. I concur with another reviewer that the thing is absolutely capable of loud/clean. Try tweed/high gain or hot/flat. Wide open on Master. 2-3 on gain. Wide open on guitar. If this isn't a freaking loud-enough clean, get thee to an audiologist post-haste. You are certifiably deaf. Playing at the Rx above will cause hearing loss in two minutes.
-Sound. With the EQ and amp/cab formula, I am able to get pristine, expressive sounds from any of my guitars. Tele is my preference, and jones, what fun. The thing is wonderfully jangly, bluesy, and whatever else. If a little more bottom is to your taste, go to the US cab. Very nice as well, but I think 'flat' sounds a little more authentic.

I frankly don't care that much about the Marshall and Mesa options, but there may come a time when I do.

Footnote to 'sound': the acid test for me was running my Wurlitzer EP through the Vintager. I am a keyboardist primarily, and I like to run my Wurlie through guitar amps. Oh man -- hog heaven. Punchy, with more than enough horsepower. If I actually need more, I tweek the drive and the the dirt/Wurlie combo is absolutely delicious. I've been using an old Lex 'verb in the effects loop, and this amp is a living, breathing force of nature.

The Vintager is a bit noisy full bore, but that's what the volume nob on your geetar can take care of in between tunes. And I am well familiar w/ the chassis rattle, but thanks to previous entries, I can tend to that.

Seems quite tough, and it's going out. We'll see.

Dunno.

I am a pro keyboardist of twenty-nine years, and double on guitar, bass, harp, and a few other things. I make my $ exclusively from music. I own more gear than I have belly to list.

This amp is one of those rare, useful, inexpensive, wonderful deals that come around once in a blue moon. I will probably buy another.

3 amp type voicings
3 gain levels to choose
3 cabinet simulations.
...Basically Mesa/Boogie, Marshall and Fender. The gain level switch just allows the overdrive control to give a different response.

Vintage style cabinet and looks. Even the chicken head knobs. The control plate is an amazingly brilliant chrome.

Bass, Mid and Treble tone controls, Drive control and Volume. Effects loop and a nice variety of outputs including an XLR output for going straight to the board.

10 Jensen Mock Greenbackinch speaker and MAN is it built WELL. One of the most solid modern amps I have ever come across. It is not only vintage looks but vintage construction with a weight like this.

The sound is a HUGE kick in the nuts to $400-$500 tube amps! This thing sounds like it has 6 tubes stuffed in it!

I played through it again over this last weekend with my nephews 60's style strat and could actually SHRED even with the moddest amount of gain this amp yields. It simply responded and carried like a tube amp.
And also keep in mind this was a 3 single coil guitar.

These sounds were incredible. It gets imensely loud, has very potent bass, mids and treble all while being very smooth.
This amp actually blows away the same model lines 2x12 combo model.
It's got this mock Celestion Greenback made by Jensen that just sings with such rich tube honk.....

The little fckin thing is just incredible.

So far it's been used as a young teens learning amp so it's been carted aroud quite a bit and most certainly abused by friends.
So far it is in tip top shape.

Excellent people at Behringer. I recently was able to obtain a rebate check that was some how misprocessed and "lost".

This is the best deal I have ever seen. This thing SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS 6 TUBES IN IT!

I mean normally you'd need a pealp ppwithp an amp that only gives the gain this one does but it responds and carries so well, you get a pretty clean lead tone that will let you hit sweeps, trills, taps and all the alternate picking in the world with plenty of carry and richness to every note.

Best of all, it has the XLR output and other outs for direct recording....that XLR is really the way to go though and run it through a mixer before your PC or whatever it is you use.

ANYWAY, this thing is going to take a while to get famous, but eventually it will be. Guitarists are going to get used to seeing them in pro studios, home studios and peoples basements and bedrooms.

I'm planning on ordering mine very soon. My nephew took my advice and now has an amp worthy of a pro that will also last him a lifetime with some decent care.
Most of all he got what others spend $500 on, for $110.

the features have been described in detail in the other reviews

this is a second review, i bought the amp 18 months ago and its still going strong, well, sounds !, nothing short of fantastic (if you take this amp for what it is, a practice and recording amp).
I have gigged it twice, in a sort of industrial metal band (we are called ergopipe)and through the pa, it blew my friends away, they couldnt beleive the sound, they even said it was better than our other guitarists marshall 2000, better ?, i dont know, but great sounding,yes !!!. i use the calif setting and the british speaker setting and the amp setting on clean with the gain full up, at quiet volumes not a lot of gain, but turned up through the pa, plenty, ive heard guitarists using to much gain, with loads of noise, but this amp rocks, yea, a bit of noise on the higher gain settings, but for me, its perfect. the marshall and tweed settings are also good,and, for recording, i use the clean on this amp over my guitarport (which is great). If anyone wants any sound samples, email me and ill make some mp3's for ya

went off when i first got it, returned it to the shop, it was a fuse, no probs since

the shop where i bought it were great, never dealt direct with behringer

basically, you tube snobs, get real, yea, tube amps are brill, but this amp sounds good cos it modeled on tube amps, it comes close, for recording and live, close enogh that most people wont notice, and lets be honest, most people dont care, just us guitarists. So, for a great bargain and a good sound, try one of these, it might surprise you. oh, and it sounds better than the tech 21 amps, i know, ive had them, sorry tech 21, but until you stop overcharging for your products, people will buy these type of products
