Behringer GX110 Ultraroc Combo

I love this amp and I really like the effects. I have only started learning the guitar and like to mess around with effects as it keeps me wanting to learn more. Its loud enough for me but one day when i get better could do with more juice.

The sound is ok, i see a few people have changed the speaker so I might see if thats a goer. On some effects you sometimes cant hear a difference but it might just be bad hearing.

Haven't had a problem thus far and use it every day. (touch wood)

Haven't needed them

been playing for 5 months using squire strat and this amp.
I would buy this amp again but a bigger model. Compared it to other amps but the effects was the sealer. Didnt have to get other accessories and stuff. If you changed your speaker let me know via email if it was worth your while. Thanks :)

I've done a review about this before. Here is what comes out in between: it still works perfectly well! I guess i'm the lucky one... This amp is very quiet(I let it on all day long quite often), and the speaker I put in(a fullrange visaton) really shines. I found the multiFX to be more than useful along with the provided footswitch, some presets give you cab sim and it does improves the crunch a lot. Still, when using this you have no more 'verb... I'm using a danoverb in the loop and it is fine for electric guitar.
All in all i am pleased with it, and hope it will last;-)

I reviewed this product earlier. At that point, apart from replacing the speaker with a Celestion Vintage 10, I was quite happy with it. I later discovered that if I turned the volume up to about three quarters and played chords, after a while the volume would cut!

I had also reccommended this amp to several of my students (I teach rock guitar) and they all have had problems. This is embarrassing. I would now encourage people to look elsewhere, because Behringer have some serious design and quality issues to resole. BEST AVOIDED!

2 channels, 99 effect presets including chorus, reverb, delay, some "amp models" and "speaker cabinet models". Only one effect at the time, however. Line outs, effect loop, headphone out. Features are very good, but the effects are rigid (not much to tweak).

For such a small amp, both channels sound pretty good as long as the amp is working (see below). Distortion is good, but not extreme. I use the clean channel with chorus, this sounds very good, and the distortion channel with some amp model effect to get a near-Metallica sound. But its a small amp, the sound is very limited.

It simply doesn't work. After some time of playing, it sounded like someone ripped the speaker. When turning up to higher volumes, the sound was shreddered into pieces. Eventually, it went totally silent. After it came back from Behringer service, the same problem develloped again within days. Same after the second repair. I brought it back to the dealer.

Behringer repaired it, but it didn't help much.

I never buy Behringer again because my trust in their quality is gone. They seem to produce cheap amps (at least this one), and they couldn't even repair it.

30 watt amp, 10" jensen speaker...This amp is absolutely loaded with features, probably some 40ish features... there are 99 presets, but many of them are like different types of an effect... slow delay, medium delay, fast delay, etc. Its plenty versatile, and it feels loud for a 30 watt amp. has two channels, has channel switching on footswitch along with effect button. One gripe is between going from clean to distortion there is a slight delay, like a click for it to hit, its not instant. I dont use a bunch of the features, but some features i really like such as cabinet stack simulations. I am mainly a bedroom player with this thing.

I use this with a PRS Tremonti and with any practice amp, it sounds kinda weak. Im really into Mesa Dual Rectifiers, but for a practice amp, I got this. The distortion sounds the same pretty much with any guitar youll put into it, and the clean is alright, nothing special, but not bad. The clean channel will distort at higher volumes, and the distortion gets crappy sounding at higher volumes. The distortion is nice though, if you adjust it right.

I have never has a problem with it, solid state amp...

never dealt with...

Ive been playing 3 years, and heres my rig: PRS Tremonti - Shure Diversity Wireless Guitar System - Mark Tremonti Power Wah - Behringer Ultraroc GX110. If it were lost or stolen, I might try a different practice amp. One thing I learned, is that amps with built in effects are not all they seem to be. Do not be swayed by built in effects when buying amps, look more for better distortion sounds. Chances are you wont use majority of your effects, except for line 6 stuff, they have good built in effects, but otherwise, try not to be swayed by amps having built in effects. I love its distortion sounds when its dialed in right, but I hate how it sounds at higher volumes. I compared it with the Crate 15 watt model, and I choose this one because of the effects. Now im not sure which I would have rather gotten. For a practice amp, consider this thing or some cheap crate amps, but for bedroom playing, its not a bad deal. Feel free to email me with any questions.

good features. effects are good. lots of them. I lost the manual and it is difficult to remember where all the good effects are. The other reviews list the features pretty acurately.

I play a yamaha with humbuckers and a deluxe strat plus with lace sensors. it is really noisy, probably has to do with the tube emulation. The distortion isn't to harsh, which is good,for solid state it isn't bad. The effects processor sounds very nice, but the cab simulations aren't that great.

You absolutely can not depend on this amp. The first day I got it, it made popping and crackling noises after being on ten minutes. I took it back and got a new one. This one worked fine for 8 months, although once it got broken in the sound quality took a dive. I listened to some recordings from 8 months ago and the clean is actually loud enough to compete, now it just breaks up at 4. Then about a week ago, in the middle of a song it just cut out. we stoped playing and w/o the rest of the band I could hear a very quiet sound. it was turned up to about 6. I tuned it to ten, and it was as loud as the former 1 with huge distortion and feedback. THE POWER AMP BLEW! It is now useless, When it comes back from warenty I will just sell it. I am going to buy a real tube amp next time.

I haven't dealt with the company. It is in for warranty right now. I don't expect it to be back any time soon, I am ampless and it is driving me crazy!

I have to give it credit for working for 8 months, but the recent total break down has really put me off of any Behringer products. It did get through a lot of recordings so it wasn't a total waste. It sounded ok and that is all that can be said for it, you get what you pay for.

30 Real Watt, 99 Digital MultiFX, Overdrive and Clean selection, small, with a lot of connectors behind, 3 band equalizer, footswitchable(overdrive & effects). A lot of features for 160 Euros huh?

Overdrive: This amp can't hold its own power. I heard some rumors that it's not for heavy metal. Well I don't understand why some people say that. With the cabinet simulation (effects 97 - 99) you can produce very nice sound and simulate fender, marshall etc. A very important thing is to know how to set up the equalizer to hear the sound that you want to hear. I use an Ibanez rg 270 and the thin strings deliver a flat and nice distortion. I use some other speakers and the amp rockz. It is recommended not to use the jensen speaker.
Clean: This is the most strange thing on this amp. It delivers a flawless and very clean guitar sound, that is similar to a lot of metal bands.
Record: Almost no hiss with Humb. The level of the hiss that it produces can easily removed with a digital or analog noise reduction system.

This is one reason that the amp has 160 euros. It's a hard structure with thick plastic and nice front panel. ALTHOUGH. I heard many people saying that the amp crashed after a few hours playing. Yeah this happens many times, also happened to me. After 3 or 4 hours the sound started crashing, and voluming down. Then the amp died for 20 mins. I had to power on again and again to see when it was fixed. I think this is due to high temperature.

I deal with behringer through my local dealer. The local dealer has good service though, they will bring me a new gx110 cause the current one is making me problems (read above)

This amp has everything but does nothing perfect. You need to spend more money to specify a use for this amp. It's not for intermidiate players though. It's the BEST for starters so they can understand what music style they like most to play. You will love it :)

Well... Bad speaker,dull clean sound, bizarre equalizer, dark drive sound not uninteresting but quite boring, loud plop(or crash) when switching off the unit witout turning off master volume first, big silence when switching channels, no way to know which effect you have(and there are 99possibilities)without looking in the manual... It seems you get what you paid for, uh?
But:very good reverbs,compressor and gate from the fx section, and plenty of connectors behind! Powerful amp(30watts are really there). So I changed the speaker and I use the amp as a power-amp-with-effects for my tech21 gt-2, and even my electroacoustic jazzbox. The speaker I put in is a fullrange one, since I have speaker simulator in the gt2. And guess what? I am very happy with this amp, sounds great now!
I hope it will last, other reports here terrify me.
So don't buy it if you have no gear and no cash to change the speaker. Actually I do believe that a beginner won't learn to play well with this amp, for it flattens every picking nuance and sounds so dull you won't believe how much until you play a fender bullet. Go for this one,in fact...

Tons of features. Two channel footswitchable amp with 24 bit effects processor with 99 patches that is footswitchable. It has an effects loop, Aux in, frequency compensated RCA out, headphone out, external speaker cab out, and a 10" Jensen speaker. A crapload of features.

This amp has a nice compressed tuby kinda feeling - I am a big fender guy - have two fender tube combos and I can tell they were definately trying to approximate a fender style clean channel. The clean channel goes until just the virge of breakup. The dirty channel is less good then the clean in my opinion but better then many other solid states I have tried. It is more of a marshallish type of distortion channel. So you can get the ACDC and Van Halen types of gain. No heavy metal though. You have to turn down the volume on the guitar to get a very slightly distorted sound - I mean just the barely there distortion.

Has not broke yet. Seems to be well made. I cant fault it. Kinda thin on the wood side but hey it works and unless I drop it off the second story here at my apartment complex it will continue to work.

do not know? Good warranty though.

I have been playing 10+ years and it is the best solid state combo I have owned especially for the very very low price. Plus it has better reverb (digital) then my fender super 60 tube combo - Accutronics (spring). It is a great amp for clean, blues, jazz. Not for heavy metal. For good heavier ACDC Halen type rock it does a respectable job for being solid-state. Especially for first time buyers this amp would be the ultimate. For a vet like me. It is another cool toy that wont bleed my ears like the trusty tube amp. Bear in mind that I rate this amp as a solid-state amp and not as anything else. And for that I think overall it should get a 9

Bought the amp new, 6 months ago. I wanted a loud, cheap practice amp, that was portable and had a headphone socket. I liked the idea of special effects built in. I play/teach rock guitar and find it loud enough for group practice with a drummer. I consider this to be a good, cheap practice amp.

I play a Yamaha SG (humbuckers) and a Fender Strat. The sound started to break up at quite low volume levels, so I replaced the cheap Jensen speaker with a Celestion Vintage 10" (about #40). It now sounds much cleaner and the volume can now be turned up full, which is loud, with negligable breakup. This is now a very usable amp.

No problems so far. The case is built like a tank, but the knobs and jack socket are plastic. The knobs stick out and the case has been recedded at this point. It looks good, but I bet that I end up breaking one off. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Good web site. Have not contacted them.

I have been playing for 30 years on and off. I used to use a Marshall 100 watt stack. I now use 100 watt H+H Valvestate Musician for stage work and a Behringer 110 and a B.C. Rich BC20 practice amps.
Initially I was dissappointed with the built-in effects, but after experimenting with them over the last 6 months or so, I have found some useful settings. I tend to use channels 7, set at 20 and channel 98 set at 43 the most, for rock work. You need to experiment with the channels and settings, as most settings are set at or near the minimum amount of effect.

I may get a MIDI switch to control the Behringer's effects and channels in the future.
