I’ve only ever tried 2 Behringer pedals, a ‘blues overdrive’ that I bought of someone for a fiver….it was really horrible sounding, and I bought a GT-10 (I think it’s called) a direct recording box that’s supposed to sound like a sansamp….and that sounded horrible too. Both those experiences kinda put me off.

Then when they came out with the ‘looky-likeys’ I just thought it was pretty sad….they do ones that look like the MXR dynacomp, smartgate and Phase90 as well as the EHX looking stuff…..I guess you know when your pedal has become an ‘all time classic’ when behringer make something that looks (very) similar!! I wonder when they will make a big round smiley face fuzz pedal??!!??

saying all this, I wish they had been around when I was a kid, I can remember saving for months and months and months to buy a Boss distortion!!!

Does the nano small stone use vintage and hard-to-come-by chips? Is not the nano cheaper compared to earlier big box versions? Then in that sense what dose the nano stand for? cheap,clone/knock-off of vintage versions.

Ooooooooooooo…..SNAP!!!

Actually the circuit boards are made in China and assembled into the chassis in NYC.

Yes, for a period of time the company was actually owned by Broadway Computer Corp, then Mike got it back and held on for another year or so before finally closing in 1983-84.

i am also aware of all these behringer clones, and dipped my foot in the water with the “Vintage Tube Overdrive” do to the fact that im currently on a tube pedal kick.

first off does anyone know what this is supposed to be a clone of? im not thinking its a EH based clone.

and second, my opinion of the pedal physically, well i think it is ridicules honestly, there choice of the way it was built and components just dont make scents to me. first thing i do with a new pedal before i even plug it in, is open it up to see what im working with. well the enclosure seems fine, its heavy duty bent steel, but i dont understand there choice of pots and switches, the pots are surface mount to the board 2 inches away from the top of the pedal, and the knobs themselves have a almost a 2 inch shaft that extends down into the unit to connect to the pots. and the footswitch really bugs me, it is made to look like your basic mechanical switch on the outside but, its a tactile switch (like Boss or DOD) 2 inches into the pedal being pushed with a pole that on the outside only looks like a normal switch. i really dont get that, i would think it would be cheaper and easier to just use a normal switch like EH ect. so if anything ever broke on these pedals , good luck fixing it! (at least to original state, it can be modded)

and i honestly cant comment on the sound just yet, although i got it used but in new condition with box, power ac, manual, ect…, it came with a bad tube, so it currently sounds like shit, i will update when i get a replacement. i have seen vids that show this pedal being used with different tubes and it makes a huge difference.

thats what i was thinking.
