I was looking around for a good home amp....one that wouldn't blow the windows out late at night. I wanted something tube like, but very simple in design.
I started looking at a bunch of YouTube clips and saw some of the Behringer amps, so I just ordered a Behringer GMX210 (60 watts). The tones sounded pretty good for just a home jamming amp.
They tend to get good reviews in terms of tones, but the knocks on these amps are primarily cheap input jacks that break (I remember the AD**VT series getting this rap too) and also that the knobs are flimsy and can easily break. The amp won't leave the house so I'm not concerned about the knobs getting broken, and with all my amps, when I plug in, I always loop the cord around the handle anyway so that it's not stressing the input jack.
Any thoughts on these amps in terms of how they stack up as an amp just to noodle around with at home??? For the price they go for, it seemed like a decent gamble,
