Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Padman,

Despite your good fortune with the Behringer amp, the warning should 
still stand. These sorts of problems are hit and miss, and Behringer 
appears to have a reputation for spotty workmanship (as well as for 
infringement on patents, for which they have been sued many times). 
The low price comes with a bit of a gamble.
