this list is a great help to me , the intrepid consumer of this kind of stuff
Isn’t the DM100 a Rat Proco clone?
Yes and no. It shares the characteristics with the Rat as well as well as the distortion+ and ds-1
Very accurate list. I own at least a dozen Behringer products, and can truthfully say I’ve never had one lick of trouble with any of them. They all sound/function as advertised, and I’ve saved a ton of money to get the sounds that others are paying through the nose for.Ed Jones Tone is in your hands and your ears……not your wallet! Play and save!
Is there a clone for the boss metal core?
@Zac. The Metal Core (and a few other Boss pedals) uses a Roland DSP chip. In other words, no one is going to attempt to clone it. http://mirosol.kapsi.fi/2014/08/boss-ml-2-metal-core/
Kids and their silly ideas.
Ed Jones, thank you for saving me the typing. I couldn’t have said it better, I agree 100% !!!
Thanks for that great list. Very helpful. What about the Behringer Rotary Speaker? Obviously that is an attempt to get the Leslie speaker sound but what brand and model pedal is that emulating?
Does anyone please know what is the functional difference between the TM300 and the GDI21? They both emulate/clone the Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 and I have heard that the TM300 although (for the money) is a decent clone, it is still not as clean as the original Tech 21 device. Does anyone know if the DGI21 is any better. They sell for $16 and $29 respectively on Sweetwater. Please reply at R1100RA(at)gmail(dot)com , thanks!
I have the the DGI21 – The main difference is that it has an XLR output. It has a ground lift switch too; I don’t know if that’s also present on the TM300. Other than the differences in physical form factor I I believe that they are sonically identical to each other. From the online comparisons I’ve viewed they come very close to the original SanAamp with Tech 21 having the edge in clarity. There’s not a lot in it for the £€$’s price difference. My GDI21 soon gets hissy as you switch up the gain but then so too does the original Tech21 device; it’s a feature/limitation of the original design. I was a little bit disappointed in it at first but a little bit of research has taught me that a bit of moderation in adjusting the controls yields perfectly acceptable results; the best tones are coaxed from it using the less is more approach rather than just diming the knobs into the hiss zone.
Thanks for this
No problem Patrick, thanks for checking it out!
Aloha, I have the Tech21 SanAMP GT2, I certainly am interested in getting the TM300 or the DGI21! While I love using the GT2, it’s becoming a rare and valuable item to the point I’m reluctant to take it out on the road for fear of it getting stolen.
does the behringer compressor/limiter have an onboard buffer circuit?
When is Behringer going to clone the Boss loopers?
Maybe you might want to add in the recent Behringer Octave Divider pedal which is, I believe, pretty much almost a faithful clone of the classic original American produced Mu-Tron Octave Divider pedal from the mid to late seventies. Just a thought.
