Price paid: $ 73.2
Purchased from: The Guitar Store
Features: This amp has a rating of 15 watts but can be extremely loud with the overdrive. It has also got analogue modelling so your 40 quid can go a long way. It has a normal input jack a cd input jack and a headphone output jack. It has a Behringer stock 8" speaker that does the job just fine. It also has a 3 way tone control whohc justs makes it better than it already is. // 8
Sound: I'm using a Korean Strat copy with stock pickups but it still can make a cheap guitar sound amazing. I play mostly rock music and the wide range modelling and overdrive controls are great. You can have a lovely toneful clean sound or all out super overdrive metal if you want. It does get a bit of feedback at high volumes though but if your practising at home you dont need it too loud so that doesn't matter! // 8
Reliability & Durability: I've had this amp for around a year and has been bashed around alot. No scratches or anything. Nothing broken. No need to call Behringer. // 10
Impression: As I said I play mostly rock and this amp suits my playing perfectly. But if you wanted you could play nice clean soft stuff or heavy metal. If it was stolen I would definately buy it again. It's a great amp for £40. My favourite feature is the modelling. It's great coz you don't have to go out and spend hindreds on an amp modeller and pedals because its all in one box here for you. It's a great amp and even better its only £40! // 10

Features: This little practice amp surprised me at how versatile it truly can be. It's got a headphone socket if you're practicing at night, so you don't have to disturb anyone else, ideal if you're in a dorm or apartment, but you'll need a headphone cord-guitar output cord converter to plug in any headphones (if they use the standard headphone cords). You can easily change the way it works with an analog modelling panel. For customizing the sound of the amp there are plenty of features. It has an analog modelling panel that consists of 3 switches, one for the speaker's style of sound, (US, UK, or FLAT) another for the AMP's general mode, (clean playing, hi-gain, or "hot"/really distorted) and the last setting has different equalizer settings to give you drastic tone changes. (California, British, or Tweed). With all these setting's combined you can have up to 27 combinations of effects just from you're amplifier alone and that's not including all the Drive and equalizer knob settings. The equalizer knobs have the standard high and low range knobs, but they've also fit in a mid range knob. You can set it up real high to give you're playing more depth or take it away to let the low or high sound frequencies come through better. As if that wasn't enough, Behringer even fit in a CD input socket for you to listen to you're CD music on the amp to play along. To tell you the truth though, you'll be better off using your computer to play your music. To use the CD input you'll need a special converter part (of course) to fit onto the output cord of the sound source, because it doesn't use an ordinary headphone-like socket, instead they used the bulky guitar signal input socket. Which makes that feature almost meaningless to have on this amp. Never the less though, it has plenty more features for to mess with to vary you're guitar playing. // 9
Sound: The variety in the tones that this AMP can do is large. I was able to set it up to get some sounds that closely resemble that of Malcom Young's guitar (AC/DC). And can play shot down In Flames as if it were the actual Mp3 from my computer. It plays cleanly as it can play dirty as well. I imagine if I knew more blue's riffs It would sound great on this amp, and I'm inclined to try it out sometime. The only beef I have with this amp is that it can't handle distinction between pitchs at relatively high Drive levels. It frequently distorts and blends it all together into a monotone pitch. I have to hook up a guitar effect processor to do the high distortion jobs for the amp to get a heavy metal sound with the distinction between pitches that I required. This all while playing on a rather new guitar, a G&L Legacy, Tribute series guitar. Un-modded. So I doubt it's the guitar doing it. // 8
Reliability & Durability: The different tones you can achive with this amp are amazing. For only a 15-watt this thing can pack a lot of punch as a starter amp. But if it isn't quite enough for you, it's speaker's design can handle up to 20-watts. So if you wanna rig it (although it voids the warrantee) you can do so, but I don't recommend it. At it's stock set up it makes it great for small gigs, but anything with groups of people larger than 100 and you'll need something bigger. This amp won't tweak easily either if you bang it here and there or accidentally unplug the guitar while it's still on, it handles the buzzing noise well so it can't easily ruin you're speaker. // 10
Impression: This is great choice if you're either looking to play good ol' classic rock band music and if you want it can play as clean as a whistle, good for blue's leads and take a fair amount of accidental abuse as far as I can tell. I've only been playing for 4 and a half months, but don't let my short guitar experience put you off from this review I can get quite picky when it comes to the sound of the tones coming out of my amp. I have a good ear for tone and pitch. For a beginner/traveller amp, this will be an excellent choice. // 8

Purchased from: Parsons Music Centre
Features: I'm not really sure when this amp was built but I guess it doesn't really matter when it comes to quality. Speaking of quality, this was the worst amp I have ever puchased due to the distortion tones and the other 27 other 'classic' tones that are just utterly useless. The only tone that this amp can handle would probably be the clean tone which is a very rare tone I use because I mostly play metal, hard rock, nu-metal and other types of music that don't require clean tones so often. The amp is probably rather loud, even when's the master volume is at 3, my ears start to hurt, but the clean sound will hardly ever be loud enough, even when it's at 5. On the other hand, it's an o. k amp for beginners. // 2
Sound: I'm currently using an Ibanez RG450LTD with H-S-H pickups and in my opinion, it only sounds good on clean, which means the distortion I get from this amp purely sucks. The best distortion tone I could get from this amp wouldn't even match an early deep purple tone which is a big shame, as I play mostly Metallica, Children Of Bodom, Evanescence and Guns N' Roses kind of stuff. What's even worse, is that even when the 'distortion' is switched on, I get a lot of feedback, even though I have humbucker pickups on my Ibanez, making this amp far from bad. // 2
Reliability & Durability: Never in a million years would I depend on this amp for a gig and the word 'backup' wouldn't even exist with the new amp I'm planning to get which is going to sustain my effect pedal because after using my mt-2 metal on this amp, I totally screwed to sound up even more for some reason, because I thought that this amp, in fact all amps, were made to handle such effect pedals but not in this case. In fact, within the first week of using my effect pedal on this amp, it screwed up the sound coming out of the amp making the distortion tone on this amp seem like it didn't exist in the first place because it was just a worthless tone. // 2
Impression: I play mostly metal, nu-metal and hard rock and this is definately not a good match, in fact this amp is purely useless when it comes to producing good tones which I really want but this amp simply can't do the right job. I'm going to definately buy a new amplifier soon that will 'actually' sustain a distortion pedal which won't screw up the sound coming out of the amplifier. // 2

Purchased from: Jenning's Music
Features: The GM108 is just a simple 15 watt practice amp. No effects, and only 1 channel, but man this baby can growl. It's got multiple amp models and, of course, 3 band EQ built in. I wish it had delay or some form of reverb on it, but, for the price, it's a great amp anyway. // 8
Sound: I'm playing this through a Michael Kelly Patriot Q, which is really what makes this map Shine. This little amp can do great clean tones, and the overdrive/distortion is pretty good too. I play a lot of Blues/Rock and sometimes a little Metal, and this amp can pretty much work for it all. The cleans were a little tough to adjust at first, but once I figured out how to make it work well, I can play clean, and pretty loud too. When you turn up the Drive, amp, mode, and speaker switches, this sucker can put out a lot of noise, but feedback is a big issue. No problem for me, just get a noise gate. // 8
Reliability & Durability: This thing has suffered through multiple band practices and 3 gigs (along with leaving it at friend's houses, stowing it in his car, etc). It's pretty durable I think, but I've been pretty good with it. After maxing out the volume and everything else on it, it still sounds great to me. Haven't blown a speaker or anything. // 9
Impression: I was surprised when I first received this (it came in a guitar/amp pack, but at Jenning's, they gave me a Johnson electric rather than the Behringer elecric). I figured this little amp would be useless, but as I never had enough money to fork out for anything better, I gave it a shot, and It's worked very well for me. I've compared the distortion on this amp with an Ibanez Tone Blaster half stack, and this little guy sounds so much better. I do sometimes wish it had multiple channels, but I don't think any 15 watt amps have more than one. Overall, I love this little amp, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's starting out on guitar, or eve an intermediate player. // 9

Features: This amp has tons of cool settings. it has a Drive knob to add or take away distortion, A Switch to give it different classic amp sounds includes calif (ornian), british, and tweed. Then there's the mode Switch to change the basic sound chosen with the amp Switch. it pretty much changes the distortion, its three settings are hot, hi gain, and clean. then there's the speaker switch which has three loudspeaker simulations, US, UK, and flat. then it has the low knob, the mid knob, and the HIGH knob. and of course, master which is the master volume control (oh yea, it comes with a power Switch, which is handy for those odd times when you actually want to turn your amp off) aside from the instrument input it also has CD input, so that you can play along with a CD. and the coolest is the headphones output for when you don't want to bug anybody else. This is also good for plugging it into pretty much anything else. I use it mostly to record stuff on my computer. the only problem with this is that I had to buy an adapter for it because it needs a 1/4" connector. // 8
Sound: This amp has tons of settings. You can find pretty much any sound you want with it.
I'll describe the different features I mentioned above now
The AMP settings
CALIF(ornian) The user's manual describes this the best, it says, "Lead and hot rhythms sounds are what you get with this setting. This is the amp for that typical Nu Metal Californian sound." It's the heaviest sounding amp setting. British, this amp setting gives a British Invasion sound. It stresses the mids a lot. Tweed is the cleanest amp setting with as the manual says "dynamic bass and clear transparence." Hot is really distorted with lots of sustain. Hi Gain can be crunchy or distorted, kinda in between hot and clean. Clean is just that, clean. it has no distortion. I'm gonna quote the manual again to describe the speaker settings because I can't do it any better. Flat "specially tailored for the GM108" as the name says, this one's kinda flat sounding. Three times three times three equals 27, so with all the switches it has 27 different sounds and dials to mess with the Drive and highs, mids, and lows. I feel it's a very good practice amp with tons of versatility. You can get anything from extremely heavy to really soft and clean sounds. one main problem I have with it though is that the Drive affects the overall volume a lot, so that the more you turn down the Drive, the more you have to turn up the volume to keep the same level. // 9
Reliability & Durability: It's pretty reliable from what I can tell. I've had it about a year now and I've had no problems with it messing up. The only thing is that when it's turned up really loud, like 7 or so on the volume with as much distortion you can get out of it is starts to rattle a little bit, like the whole thing is shaking, because it's so small it's literally dancin around on the floor. But this hasn't messed with it's performance any. It sounds as good as the day I got it and I've treated it pretty badly, dropped it, set heavey stuff on top of it, etc. it's pretty sturdy. // 10
Impression: I play all different kinds of music, and this fits all of em. I didn't have anything to do with buying it as my parents got it for me for christmas, and even though they didn't really know what they were doing they did pretty good. It sounds like they got a lot of help when picking it out. I don't know how much it cost exactly but they said it wasn't too bad. It's not perfect, I wish it had some cool effects like you'd get from a processor, but it's pretty good for a beginner or just as a practice amp. // 9

Purchased from: Kosmic
Features: I bought this amp in late 2005, I have no idea when it was actually made though. I play mainly metal and for metal this amp just dosn't cut it, it's 'high gain' is pretty average. The amp has only one channel although so to change the sound you must mess with the knobs. I personally never really used the 'californian' or 'british' tones although they didn't sound to bad. It does have a headphone jack which is a great addition, the amp is only 15 watts as it is though os most of the time headphones arnt needed. // 7
Sound: I have been using this with a Squire Bullet Strat, which I know is a beginner guitar to but this amp is bought by beginners so most people will probably have something fairly similier. I find that once I turn the amp past about 6 it's starts squeeling and making horrible sounds, the amp on 6 is fairly loud though. It's a manual modelling amp so you can pretty much get any tone out of it, the quality of that tone may not be great but you should get reasonabilly close. I never really used the amp loud enough on clean to possibly distort it so I can't actually say how good the cleans are when cranked although I guess they would start cracking up around 8. You can get a decent rock distortion but there is no metal sounds possible out of this, not that I have come across anyway. // 6
Reliability & Durability: The amp is pretty sturdy. I dropped it accidently and it fell face first and all of the manual modelling part dissapeared into the amp. I took it to a local shop to get it fixed, they couldnt do it so they sent it to Behringer and about a week later I had a new one. SO customer service was pretty good. This was after I had the amp for probably 6 months. // 7
Impression: If you want to play metal do not buy this amp. It's a decent beginner amp which should get you through the beginning stages. I had the option between this and the Peavy Rage I should have bought the Rage although back then I wasn't into metal so I guess this was the choice at the time. If it were stolen I wouldn't be to concerned and would go and buy a different amp. I hadnt really done any homework when it came to getting amps and this was the first one the guy showed me and he was playing some good stuff on it so I ended up buying it. I wish this amp had better distortion, even on 'hot gain' and 10 gain it dosn't sound metal at all. // 7

Price paid: $ 128.1
Purchased from: Surrey Music Store
Features: This 15w amp has analogue modelling which can give you '27 classic tones', headphone jack and a CD input jack. I play mainly rock, and this amp fits it pretty well. You can get some good tones using the modelling (I'll explain this later), it has a lovely clean tone and can create some quite godd distortion. The 8" sspeaker can really throw out some loud sounds, I use this amp in my bedroom and I rarely turn the master volume above 1! // 8
Sound: I'm using a Tanglewood strat copy through this and it sounds great, with the modelling you can get very precise tones. The clean tones are clean at all sound levels (even though you can't get it very loud on clean), the hi gain distortion is a 'not over the top' distortion sound which is what I like while the 'hot' is very distorted. Now the modelling, With this you can choose what amp you want it sound like, there is Californian (a great crisp sound), British (a more 'rock' sound), Tweed (quite bassy, I think it sounds like you've shut the amp in a cupboard and closed the door). The next set of 3 options is clean (you guessed it, a clean sound), Hi gain (an overdriven sound) and hot (A really overdriven sound) and the last is the type of speaker you want it to sound like there's U. S (sounds like a 2 x 12" open-back speaker), U. K (sounds much like the U. S if I'm honest but a tiny bit more bassy) and flat (sounds like UK but quieter). // 8
Reliability & Durability: This amp hasn't broken on me yet and looks like it can take a lot. I could depend on it at a gig but it may not be loud enough for a gig to be honest but I wouldn't need backup. // 7
Impression: If this were lost or stolen I would buy it again. It is a very versatile amp which can give alot of different sounds and for £70 it's great value for money! I had the choice of other amps as well but chose this because of the variety of sounds I could get from it. // 8

Price paid: $ 60
Purchased from: guitar center
Features: The Behringer GM108 is very versatile, it can fit just about any kind of genre. I play just about everything from Blink 182 to Slipknot. The amp has a head phone jack, and cd input. It has 27 "classic" presets, it can have the cleanest sounds, or the crunchiest most distorted sounds. I use this amp in my medium sized rooms for practice with my band, it has enough power for a small gig or practice. // 8
Sound: I'm not exactly sure of the brand of the guitar, but it's standard size with 3 single coils, the amp fits many many music styles. I mainly play the "lighter" rock, but I can't help but attempt to play heavier rock such as Korn or Slipknot. The amp isn't really loud of clean, but when you put it on the distortion mode and turn it to 4 that would be the equivalent to clean on 10 (goes 1-10). The amp has many different sounds, the clean sounds the same on all volumes, the disrortion is very nice. // 8
Reliability & Durability: I think the amp is very reliable, it hasn't disappointed me yet. I wouldn't use it on a gig because it is only a 15 watt, but I'm sure if I had a bigger amp that was the same brand, Behringer, I wouldn't need a backup. The amp hasn't broken down yet. // 10
Impression: I play many kinds of rock, and it matches them very well. I've been playing for about a month now, I would definately buy this amp again if I was looking for a 15 watt, but if I was going for a bigger amp it would still be a Behringer. I love turning up the distortion on it and having a headphone jack, and cd input. The only thing I don't like is the buzzing and vibrating sounds, at times, I was either going to buy this Behringer GM108, or the Crate 15 watt. I'm not sure of the model, I chose this one because the Crate was 150 and this one is only 60 and the reviews we're good for this amp, I wish it was bigger. // 8

Features: I'm sure it had loads of features but quite frankly if the poxy thing breaks after a couple of weeks of careful use then what's the point. This poxy site wants me to write more so here goes, When things were made in britain, they lasted, when they were made in america, they lasted, when they were made in germany and japan they lasted, when made in china however they break after a couple of gusts of wind. // 6

Purchased from: Local Guitar Store
Features: 15w solid state amp/8" speaker. 27 different settings from ultra clean to heavy crunch. CD input so you can jam along to your favourite music. Headphone output so you can play as loud as you like without bugging anyone. Since I use this amp to practise on in my bedroom, it's fantastic to lug around the house and because it is seriously tiny and weighs nothing it's very easy to stuff into a school bad if you want to take it travelling. // 7
Sound: I can say that the clean is quite reasonable for this little thing. It does produce a crapload of noise at high levels but it is extremely quiet with the drive down so that's a downside. I quite like the UK setting on it, especially when I run this through my Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. The distortion is a joke however, no sustain at all, palm muting sounds awful. If you like metal/rock, get yourself an effect pedal if you are on this low of a budget, otherwise get yourself a valve-state amp. // 4
Reliability & Durability: If there is one thing to be proud of with this amp, its how much crap it can take. I always play this amp above seven at full drive and I've been doing this for over a year. Obviously you would be laughed at for even thinking this thing will be heard over drums so gigging is a non-issue. Seriously though this thing is tough as a brick shithouse. // 10
Impression: This amp is reasonable if you want a tough little stuff around amp. An effect pedal is essential for a decent distortion sound so perhaps a hard rocker may want to seriously consider avoiding this amp unless you can get it very cheap. I wouldn't buy this again because I recently aquired my new Roland Cube 60 which is god compared to the GM108. I would however recommend this to a true beginner. It's cheap and durable and can get a newbie started on their way to stardom. // 7

Features: Claimed to have 27 "classic" sounds with its switches for high gain, uk, californian etc. Bit of a joke really, because most of them are hopeless! Has headphone jack, cd input. Because of it's 3-way changing sounds with 9 settings, technically it has 27 different sounds. But forget 20 of em, if you want to play rock/metal the distortion is rubbish, and only sounds half decent and clear when on clean settings, which I never need. It was my very first amp and the features are overwhelming at first, while your nieve that is, as soon as I got my Marshall G15RCD a month ago, there was no match, both 15 watt practice amps, but no competition.Features will satisfy many beginning guitarists. // 5
Sound: Used Fender Strat. Now I've my Marshall, and play on Behringer, it sounds like there's a duvet in front of it, you don't notice this unless you have 2 amps, so it's ok. Believ me, this amp can get loud! Not very pleasant though. The amp can interchange between a fair few sounds (country, blues rock) but some sound too similar. For the price you cannot complain for too long, but overall it's unsatisfactory. I play rock/metal and blues. I lived with it for 6 months and worked at least. It is ok until you start comparing the sound with other brands. // 3
Reliability & Durability: Had 8 months. Taken quite a bit of bashing, still works, but the tacky, cheap switches got loose. just tightened them up. // 8
Impression: My advice would be: if you get this amp, use it only if you are a beginner have the low budget and intend to play dreadful rock! or fair sounding clean settings at low volume! I do not love anything about it apart from the fact that you can sit and laygh at it when you a get a new amp. Like I said, ok for beginners. // 4

This is with regards to jeremy chan and to any other t**t who likes to play "metal, nu metal and hard rock". that kind of music sucks, listen to music that is actually good. For all those people who will say "just 'cause you don't like that type of music doesn't mean we should change our taste in music" yes it does, buy buying their products you are allowing these corporate w****s to keep f*****g putting out the most god awful music known to man! At least some rap music is good: run-dmc (mc hammer is just laughable). However people who make metal and nu-metal are just craving for attention 'cause they have no talent. By the way, about this amp, test it out before you buy it, that way you don't waste any money on stuff you're just going to shout about over the internet saying it is s**t. For all those people who have given up on metal and nu-metal, here are some recomendations: RHCP, Radiohead, Kings Of Leon, Muse, Stone Roses, Supergrass, Tenacious D for christs sake! Sorry about the blasphemy, but just so you know, Christianity, and any other religion for that matter, are f*****g stupid. Smoochie Boochies!

SOAD_GOD
: FORGET WHAT EVERYONE SAYS ABOUT THIS AMP BEING BAD!
it has better tone than my Marshall MG250DFX. ok, i know thats a rubbish amp too (will be sold soon), but the fact that it has 2 12" speakers should give a better sound quality, but it doesn't!
here are my settings, and btw, the clean doesn't suck, you just have to know hoe to get a good setting.
CLEAN:
DRIVE: 2
AMP: CALIF
MODE: CLEAN
SPEAKER: U.K
EQ: just experiment here.... you'll find great tones!
MASTER: up to you
AWESOME DISTORTION: seriously awesome
DRIVE: 10
AMP: CALIF
MODE: HOT
SPEAKER: U.K (U.S for a more Lamb of God/Pantera tone)
LOW: 8
MID: 5
HIGH: 7.5
MASTER: up to you, prepare to DESTROY!!!!
these are the best settings. enjoy. Laurie POSTED: 02/11/2007 - 04:49 pm / quote|

: The amp isn't that great but you can get a good sound if you change the settings around, it is kind of a pain though. POSTED: 04/04/2007 - 04:16 pm / quote|

: i've had this amp for years (since i can't afford an upgrade), and it's worked through 3 gigs and tons of practices. i personally love it, but since it's so old, i think the wear and tear is starting to take a toll on it... POSTED: 05/15/2007 - 06:56 pm / quote|

i always keep my drive and tone knobs all the way up, and adjust the amp, mode, speaker, and master volume for everything else. it works great for me. POSTED: 05/15/2007 - 06:58 pm / quote|

: I have one of these... came with a half decent guitar. Ill be modding the crap out of this, celestion Super8 speaker, rewire etc. Took out a pickup out of the guitar and added a seymore duncan hotrails, sounds much better, through this amp even. Admittedly, after hearing a randall stack, distortion sucks worse than a blind woman at bingo. POSTED: 05/31/2007 - 11:57 am / quote|
