Please someone tell me this is not a mutron3 workalike!!!!

Maybe it's a clone of the E-H edition of the Maxon version of the Ibanez clone of the Mu-Tron?

Quote from: Ronsonic on March 28, 2007, 09:07:00 PMJust get the real thing rather than add another container full of cynical debris to our already overvast landfill. That is where they will end up. Inevitably. A pedal you or I build has some possibility of being used generations from now to create music. The Behringer is landfill and nothing more than a toy or diversion in the meanwhile. The electric guitar is a musical instrument. The amp and cables and any pedals are a part of that instrument. Behringer doesn't make instruments, they make a thing they can profitably sell for a lot cheaper than a thing that it looks like.

Anything is an instrument if you have the skill to make it such.

Those little Supro amps were "toys" too. Didn't stop Jimmy Page, did it?

The Supros weren't toys, they were student amps. They actually sounded like a pro amp and were only simplified and more economical versions of the pro gear of their day. That's how it used to be done. Student amps were just smaller, simpler, cheaper versions of the real thing. They were built well enough to last for decades. They were also neutral and flexible enough to let a player develop his own sound.

This may have been mentioned in threads before, but lets face it, boss is a little off of it's game at the moment, you used to look at boss and see all these great designs and pedals, look now and about all you see is COS-M coming out of boss (and don't think I'm bad mouthing it or anything, they're prettyt good). But lets face it would you rather pay $100 - $150 for a boss digital emulation of effects, or $40 for a behringer digital emulation of effects.

Smaller. Simpler. Cheaper. Yep! Sounds like a Behringer forerunner to me!

The recent equivalent of a Supro is the Epiphone Valve Junior. A simple, cheaper, smaller version of the real thing. I love mine. Modded it to hell and back.

How many players do you think plugged into a Supro and said "Holy crap, this thing SUCKS!"? More than the number that liked them, I'm willing to bet.

i remember seeing a behringer pedal called Metal Tone, exactly same controls, colour and a similar name to boss's Metal Zone

Here's one thing I don't get about this moral debate. What's worse, a "boutique" version of a Tube Screamer going for $300 or a Behringer clone for $30. I would have thought the $300 pedal would cause more of a stir.
