Cheap Ass Behringer Pedals

[traverse]

these pedals are mainly rubbish.  Ive recently been given a behringer chorus by a mate, to bend.  I was wondering if there are any known bends for it?  Or any of these behringer pedals in general.  Or shall i just get pokey with a soldering iron?

Arent' they digital DSP (digital signal processor) crap?
I thougt about buying some of them because they are realy very cheap (about 25€)

Got a couple of behringer flangers on the pile. I opened up one of them and there seemed to be some potential for replacing resistors with pots but its all tiny miniturised resistors and capacitors so i got irritated with it really quickly and stuck it back on the pile.

These things really are hellish to work with.

the metal box pedals are pretty cool. i have a vt911 tube overdrive, i love it! the sweet spot is on about #4 on all knobs!

the plastic box pedals suck!!!

I've bent a behringer tremolo and a phaser. I don't think they're that bad. The plastic cases are a godsend for modding. Granted, before bending, the pedals aren't gonna knock yer socks off. Once modded, it's a different story. Walls of noise and bloody ear-canals for all. That, and they're dirt cheap.
The SM components are a bit of a pain, but we've gotta deal with it cos it's the future.

most of them are known clones of Boss pedals, by the way.
maybe with cheaper components, definitely with cheaper casing.
so if you find any mods for the equivalent boss pedal, you should be good to go.

i had a behringer a/b box, plastic. what drove me mad for the longest time was simply trying to find where to put the battery!!! i finally figured it out, but it was very impractical.

the metal box pedals remind me of EH in how they are constructed. i think they should go to this and totally abandon the plastic box pedals.

I've got one of the Behringer multi-effects pedals with tremolo, pitchshift, delay, chorus, flange and phasing.  It's pretty good.  The plastic might be a bit fragile compared to a diecast case, but it's "good enough" and it's a lot of noise for £24.

what is your experience with the big metal box behringers?

i like my tube overdrive. nice EH style metal box, better quality pots and switch.

Anyone happen to save that layout/diagram?

The wayback machine was the first thing I tried.  Maybe I can find the contact info for the site.
