I know what the general feeling is about and honestly I will not argue the point of Behringer being a company known for "emulating" (aka stealing) other companies ideas/designs and producing them at a fraction of the cost in their own (as in "owned") chinese village, thus being able to sell them dirt cheap. Obviously this is unfair competition galore!
But try to explain this to a high school aspring guitarist who can't afford boutique prices for gear. I mean you can currently buy Behringer's TO800 (an exact copy of Ibanez's TubeScreamer) for $18.00+tax+free shipping at a certain online mega-store and you know what? Many online tests, some from reputable experts, claim that the Behringer pedal sounds equally well as the Ibanez does, if not better. I own both, and I agree with at least the first part of the claim, not sure about the "better" though.
So, I hear you JoeCool85 the VTC technology is nothing more than a fancy marketing ploy (I have reverse engineered an AT108 acoustic amp with VTC and could not find what the heck VTC is or where it is coming from in the circuit, perhaps the german/chinese engineers are way too smart for my electronics skills). It would be interesting to hear the 20 and 40 watt version and decide if they are worth their expected cheap prices.
Thanks for the head's up.
