Behringer GX 112 Blue Devil

i dont know what year it was made this amp and it is pretty versitle for my stle of music(korn,limpbizkit,slipknot,deftones,sevendust,cold,disturbed,) shit like that this amp has every thing even stuff you'll never need there are 2 channels heaven and hell i never use heaven but hell is amazing the head phone jack is not loud even with the volume all the way it comes with a pedal that changes channel and effects

for a good sound go to effect 99 with the bass in the middle the mid in the middle and the treble all the way it is perfect if your in to the kind of music im in to you;ll love this amp

yes i can depend on it.i would gig without a backup this amp is huge and heavy wheels would be a big help

never dealt with them

ive been playing for over a year if it were stolen or lost i would defanitly buy it again

This amp has been well reviewed but I've got something for ya even if you already own one!

Since Behringer has decided to "give" their equipment away I took the suggestion of a stanger and I'm sooooooo glad I did! I purchased a Blue Devil for $250 and since I felt like I had ripped Behringer off I also bought their V-Amp for $150 and plugged it in through the effects loop on the amp...WHAMMO! I'm telling ya true ~ DIS IS DA SHET BRO!!

Don't miss the boat for God's sake!

What do you want...house calls?

Considering the cost it's a 10! Add the V-Amp...10 x 10!

This amp is an '01 Behringer. This two channel amp features 60 watts rms of power, 1 12" 100 watt speaker, heaven (clean) and hell (gain) channels, multi-effects processor with 99 presets(Reverb, delay, phaser chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, speaker simulator, compressor, expander, wah, tube emulator, etc) and three fx parameters to adjust effects, 3-band EQ, metal footswitch for channels and effects switching, aux in and out, insert in and out (for stomp boxes), stereo line in and out, midi compatable. All of this for $230 bucks at Mars Music. Ya gotta give it a 10. People, find me an amp that has this many features at this price. Enough said.

Currently I am playing a Fernandes Montery Standard with stock pickups. This amp has a great sound for $230. The clean channel is quiet nice and rich like a tube amp, hell channel can hold its own except if you need death metal distortion. In that case you will need a stomp box like most other amps. Now the effects! The effects are quite nice. With 99 presets that are programable with the 3 FX parameter controls, you will have plenty to work with. The only effect that I wasn't happy with was the wah presets, but I am adjusting it to hopefully get the sound I am looking for (try doing that with a line 6!) The real only shortcoming I could find is the delay between switching channels. You have to time your channel switching about a 1/2 second before you want the channel to change. For this reason I am forced to give it a 9. For the money you can't find anything better than this amp. It doesn't sound like a $2000 dollar Mesa. Thats why the Mesa IS $2000! But in the $500 and under, this amp is great. And for the people who left a review when they only tried the amp in the store, begone! Your reviews mean nothing because you haven't even began to explore what this amp can do.

Haven't had any problems with it.

Tried to email the company twice and no response. I hope that this doesn't becomes a problem. Warranty is only 1 year. I will give it a 4 because I still have hope that they will be responsive to my inquries.

I have been playing for two years now. If this amp were stolen or lost, may the one who stole it burn, and I would probably buy the 212 version ( its only 50 bucks more). I love this amp with the exception of the delay between channel switching. But Behringer has a MIDI footswitch that can hold ten different presets per channel. I hope that will fix the problem. The pedal is only $129 bucks. For the money, nothing beats this amp. It puts the Line 6 Spider to shame and with the amp and MIDI footswitch, it still cost less than a 112 Spider. Great value.

This amp is a 2001 model. I think your able to play every style of music you want on this amp. The amp feature 2 channels called Heaven(clean) and Hell(dirty)how rock and roll is that. It comes with a footswitch that allows you to switch channels and effects. It has 24 effects like reverb, flanger, delay, wah, phaser, chorus, tremolo, rotary speaker, magic drive, pitch shifter and compressor. I think this amp is perfect for people who don't want to waste too much but want to sound some what professional. The blue devil has 65 watts so it will cause people to scream "turn that down."

I'm using a Fender Standard Telecaster with vintage noiseless pickups.

I don't gig but i think you could take this thing out with total confidence.

Just got it.

Two-channels, clean and crap distortion. The effects, while plentiful, cannot be combined. While not a crime, it's hard to imagine NOT using REVERB, so, unless you have another EFX rack, you're kind screwed.

I tested one out yesterday, looking for something to run my J-Station into, so, the lack of combinable effects ain't a major deal, but I noticed MOST of these reviews don't discuss that shortcoming.

So, yeah, a 10 for all the groovy effects, but -3 for not being able to combine them, and -3 for the GAPING 1/2 second of SILENCE when switching channels. How can that even be considered acceptable? Basically, you gotta pick a channel, and do the song with it... not a great feature.

Clean is clean. The "Hell" sound is CRAP. Again - I just tested this in the store, trying a strat and a les paul, but couldn't get ANYTHING usable out of the HELL channel. I play Blues/Funk/Rock, and was looking for something that could jump between those. Okay, yes, I started out just looking for an amp for my J-Station, but once I tried this thing out, I was trying EVERYTHING out, in the event that I could just bring a guitar and the amp and be done.

The sounds AREN'T as amazing as others say they are. You may as well bring your home stereo and plug your guitar into that. It WAS a clean channel, but MUDDY. Add the am-radio distortion, and you have Muddy Distortion... the kind that disappears when playing with a whole band.

no clue. I didn't buy it. other folks ain't too happy with it though.

no clue.

Sure, for $229, this is great. But even with the rawking 100w 12" speaker and 60 watts, this thing is a practice amp... meaning, you practice at home alone. If you're a 14-yr old wanting to start out, great, this is the amp for you. If you're 40 and just wanna knock around at home, yeah, this is for you.

But for gigging? I gotta think that you won't be happy.

Many features. Nearly 100 effects that are all able to be altered by the user. Two channels, headphone jack, effects loop, channel and effect footswitch is included! The two channels are Heaven (clean and slightly distorted sounds) and Hell (distortion). Using the different effects and switching between channels, I can get hundreds of different sounds out of this amp.

I use a Fender Stratocaster. My music style includes blues, rock, jazz, and funk. The clean setting has a beautiful, rich sound perfect for jazz guitar and rythym playing. The distortion is good but you can't dial in very crunchy distortion if needed. This amp can do so much, it is THE MOST VERSATILE AMP in its price range.

Seems very sturdy and reliable. I would not expect to need a backup; however, at 60 watts it is not quite powerful enough to gig with.

I haven't had any personal experience with the company but I have heard that they are very helpful and supportive of their products.

This amp is amazing for the price. Just a solid, effective amplifier that can satisfy most guitar players. I owned a $500 Hughes and Kettner that wasn't as good as this amp. Very loud for 60 watts and the effects are superb. I highly recommend this amplifier!

Newish (MF blem. Thanks to you guys who send 'em back). Since it was made in China, It was made in the year of the rat (I think)--possibly weasel. I don't ask much versatility out of my amps, but I do like a few bells and whistles. The first thing I did with this amp was turn off all the effects and listened to the sound of the amp, dry. Both clean (heaven) and distorted (hell) channels sounded nice to my ears. It nails the Joe Walsh "Walk Away" sound mightily. I do lots of different styles of music but I bought this one for a classic rock project I'm working on. Since the arsenal of effects used in that era were somewhat limited (and left to the technique of the player) I only use a few. The compression presets (2) are quite usable, the choruses are full and tweakable, the reverbs and delays are very natural sounding (though the decays can be a little dry if not adjusted properly). This is two channel amp--clean and distorted. I use A Snarling Dogs "Blue Doo" (with mechanical bypass) to give me two channels of distortion. A very good O.D. unit, though not really a distortion box. It comes with a foot pedal for switching channels ( I hate "optional" add-ons that are a must--if we need them, include them in the price. The amp is used both live and in studio and has plenty of volume for me. I don't need to peel the paint off the walls, just be heard. It has a stereo out if you need more volume. That's enough. It has a headphone jack, which is a nice touch, but it's only a mono amp unless you use the line out. I heard Behringer is putting out a stereo model of this amp. Isn't that always the way. Just when you buy a new item, they come out with the "new, improved" model. Oh, well. I'm pretty happy with this one.

I'm using both single and hummer equipped guitars with this, but I do prefer the sound of the hummers. I have an Aslin Dane Jazz Jumbo (an over-sized 335) that absolutely sings with this amp. It does feed back a bit, so I just contacted Bernie at AD and ordered the ALP-2H (chambered like the Guild Bluesbird--another Aslin Dane gem. Check these axes out. They're awsome--and affordable). It's pretty quiet with the hummers. I've scrolled through every sound and played with the parameters for a few days now. I must say I wasn't too thrilled with it at first. I even considered sending it back. But after toning down some of the effects and letting the amp and guitar color the sound, I found I was beginning to really like the amp. I found "my sound" in there--which is based on analog circuitry. I was surprised. After I tweak the EQ and OD modules, I add a little something from the palette of effects. That's the best way to do it. The amp won't play you--you have to learn to play it. The distortion--if that's what you want to call it--is really more of an OD. It's great for classic stuff and really nice for blues. Whether it will give the thrashers and head-bangers a woody, I have no idea. Probably better to stick to the Marshalls and boutique amps.

I haven't had it that long, but I know Behringer stuff and solid state is a better bet than tubes--at least in theory. We'll see how the cabinet holds up to being moved in the rain. That particle board crap is really absorbant.

Again, I have no idea. The warranty card say to send it back to the dealer, not the manufacturer. That would be MF (an interesting acronym, no?) or Musician's Friend (I've never been invited over for a beer, so I'm not sure of the depth of our friendship).

I've been hacking away at these stringed boards for neigh on 35 years now. My arsenal is constantly in flux, with stuff going in and out of my house on aregular basis. I've owned some of the best stuff on the market, but lately I've been buying the lower end, higher quality equipment--and with pretty good success. Aslin Dane has been a find in itself. Anyone who loves Gibson should check them out. They beat all. I paid $350.00 for the Jazz Jumbo 335, and it blows away anything in its category, whatever the price. I also play Ibanez; but the older ones. The newer ones are really going bad--sorry guys. I have a Roland JC-77, an old Gibson Explorer amp (just redone), a home-made Strat, and the Aslin dane ALP-2H I'm expecting any day. I didn't mean for this to turn into an ad for AD, but you did ask. I couldn't compare this amp to any other, since it seems to have a niche of its own. Judging by the response from most of the reviewers here, they like it too. Again, I'm not big on bells and whistles, but this amp also has the bare-bones sound I like. If I can turn off all the effects, just play both channels dry, and love the amp, then I have to say that this little guy is a big-time winner. And for the price...
you can't lose.
If it were lost or stolen I'd call in an airstrike on some innocent country that had nothing to do with the theft (it would make me feel better) then I probably buy the new Behringer stereo Blue devil (when it arrives).
Anything els I'd like to share? Yeah. To my neighbor: if you don't shut that stupid dog up I'm going to call an airstrike on your house too! Time to put the Behringer in the window and practice my AC/DC riffs at 3:00 A.M. Long live Rock & Roll (but not beagles)!

I just tested the 112 combo & was impressed. The I read all the consumer comments, and decided to compare. The Line 6 112 combo CANNOT
compare to the BEHRINGER 112 FX combo (Period). I was in love with the line 6 until I heard about the WORLD's best kept secret of late.
BEHRINGER. So my rating for Line 6 is a 6.5

Line 6 sounds pretty good; I rate it a 7. I heard only samples of the Behringer, which PACKS more Hellish PUNCH

I feel line 6 will be reliable, however I got a thing for German made
products.

I heard Line 6 Customer service sucks. But I cannot say.

Remember that the one and only Ronnie James told you this first. The
line 6 turned me on (& I still like it) but the Behringer 112 Digital
FX amp is 100.00 bucks cheaper (I paid 299.00) and it's 60 watts of
power(versus Line6's 112 amp--which is 50 watts). The Behringer comes with a dual Foot-Pedal/Switch. Line six costs 69.00 for theirs. You do the math!

2 channel, 60 watts RMS, effects loop, line and headphone outs, aux in. 24/48 built-in stereo effect processor. Assembled in China, designed in Germany.
Amp is versatile enough for gigs, rehearsals, recording and practicing - hence the name Guitar Workstation. Buit-in in effect processor and speaker-emulated line-out sounds great recording direct.

Well, I use Ibanez RG550 straight into Blue Devil. I play different styles - from blues to hardrock to heavymetal to trash. I think this amp is suited more for blues - you just can't get Pantera or Metallica sound from it without additional stompboxes.
You can, however, get VERY nice blues sounds from this amp. In fact, "Virtube" tube emulation technology by Behringer works very well to my ears - it gives you that tubey compression and sustain that costs so much nowadays...
Very reasonable line-out sound - every night I use it to plug amp into PC and jamming or recording something according to my mood... like it!
To me this amp likes LP more than Strats, at least on the Hell (drive) channel.

Don't know, I just buy it few days ago, but amp construction looks pretty sturdy. Also I should mention very good power supply - no scratches or crackles on power spikes.
Looks like it would last.

N/A

Well, what can I say. I really like Blue Devil, and I can't wait to try few stompboxes with it to see how it will behave in metal land...
Also I think it is just GREAT for the price - all other brands don't ever comes close with such a "bang for the bucks"...
BTW, I see very good reason for Behringer for such a low price - it's a first guitar combo from Behringer, and they are trying to attract guitar players to brand. Anyway, it sounds great, plays great, looks great and has a great price - so I'll give it a 10.

This is a great amp for the price.It's a solid state amp.It has a clean and distortion(overdrive)channel,three band EQ,a seperate volume control for both channels and a master volume ,Multiefects processor,aux in and out,right and left lines out,midi in, headphone jack,efects loop,and a two switch footswitch, one for clean or dirty and one for efects bypass.Also it has a tube amp emulator. 60 watts is plenty of power even for small gigs.I use this amp in my home studio(ideal),but I also use it when I jam with the boys.This amp pretty much matches my old fender twin reverb amp.

I play a Fender american standard with a hotrail in the bridge, as well as acoustic guitars.They all sound great through this amp,Good high end as well as low end.The reverb or should I say reverbs are part of the efects processor,you have several to choose from and they sound great.Including reverb, there are 99 efects to choose from,but you can only use one at a time per channel.The clean channel is very nice and clean even cranked,what more can be said.The distortion is actually overdrive(some people still dont know the difference),and a good sounding overdrive at that,great for heavy bluesy stuff.I use a seperate distortion pedal for heavy metal.

I've had this amp about seven months and it's been flawless,and yes I would trust it for a gig without a backup.

I've had no problems in any way so far,so I've not had to deal with Behringer, or Musicians Friend about this amp.

I've been playing 22 years mostly blues and heavy metal,I have a peavy Bandit65 that does not at all compare to this amp.I would replace it if it were lost.I checked a round and this amp was the best with the most features for the best price, and it happens to sound great too.Some of the contols could be changed a bit, but for $300 there is really nothing to complain about
