Re: [DTXpress] Behringer vs Peavey

2006-12-28 by Stephanie Ellison

When I was choosing an amp, most people recommended Peavey, but some
recommended Behringer and I went for the latter in a fit of EU
support, and I think I believed that the Behringer with its three
speakers would give a wider range than the Peavey, with its one. I may
well be wrong about all of that.

So a few weeks ago I was on stage, maybe using the amp properly for
about the fourth time, in the middle of the opening song, when the amp
failed with a smell of hot electronics and a lot of bass hum,
regardless of the settings.

Sorry... Hmmm. I've had my Behringer for about 3 years, and I've not had a problem with it. Electronics have a habit of blowing out very soon or not at all. That is too bad, really. I like how the amp, despite its ported design, has a very tight damping factor that can be felt and heard.
