Ease of Use: Very easy to use, simple 3-knob controls to mold your sound. The manual's only a sheet of paper, but then again the pedal isnt very complex. // 7

Sound: This is one of those light crunch tone OD pedals, good if you're playing U2-like stuff, or classic rock. The Overdrive isnýt heavy, so if you're looking for a highgain pedal, you're in the wrong place. I also love the way it responds to your playing dynamics, you go hard and it follows. // 9

Reliability & Durability: Well I play in my church, and it's survived a few services (and it's still doing well). The body is made of plastic, but it's very durable. I've (accidentally) kicked it around a couple of times and it still works. The knobs come kind of loose though. // 5

Impression: I play a variety of styles of music, from rock to hip-hop and everything in between and metal. I like using this when the electric guitar is more of a rhythm instrument (like the way I play in my church), combined with a delay and some reverb you can imitate The Edge's style of playing. Very cool. // 10

Ease of Use: I'm using this through a Line6 Spider II 15 and have to say it took me a while to get a good sound from it. It's not a heavey distrotion pedal but when I play it through the clean channel it get barely any distrotion. That said ith a bit or work it gives really nice classic rock a blues rock tones. The pedal itself is easy to use with only 3 knobs. The manual with it is very simple but of course it is only a distortion pedal. // 8

Sound: I'm using this as I said with a Line6 Spider II 15wt and my guitar is an Epi les paul standard. The pedal does not make any noise when turned off and does not affect my Boss Auto-wah which I put before it. Compared to the DS-1 it is pretty good and sounds like John Frusciante's or kurt cobains are easy to get but the heavey sounds are much harder to get unless it's ran throgh a Drive channel on the amp and using like a boost pedal. // 7

Reliability & Durability: So far the reliability has been good. It's made of plastic which worried me cause I tend to jump on these things but it has been very durable and is able to withsatnd a good kick. I've gigged with it a few times and it works well live. It seems like it will hold out. The only problem is the knobs are quite loose right from the start. // 8

Impression: I play a lot of rock and indie music but it works for many other styles which I don't aply as much of. A lot of people compare this to the DS-1 but in my opinion it's more like the Boss blues driver only a lot better. I would recommend this pedal. It's usually £20 by the way but I got it in a sale. // 7

Ease of Use: Basic stomp box, very easy to use 3 knobs, level, tone, and drive. Difficult not to understand. The manual is essentially a waste of paper as it's very self explanitory. Also once you have acheicved a decent tone with it, it is very easy to return to that tone, whereas other pedals (in my opinion) take much longer to "reacquire" the tone. // 10

Sound: I use it as a boost pedal as my Carlsbro valve amp has a decent enough cruch sound. The sound it gives is great for searing classic rock lead tone, very smooth and sweet. I use it my cover's band and it just lifts the sound of my guitar to the front of the mix. However if your looking for a metal or other high gain sound this pedal is not for you in my opinion. // 8

Reliability & Durability: Although it doesn't feel tough it can stand my boots and I do stamp on my pedals quite aggressively. I would gig with this pedal without a backup as I have never had any problems with. It does, however, go through batterys (9 volt block) quite quickly so I prefer to use the power cable which I bought seperately. // 7

Impression: This pedal is great for classic rock type bands or anyone who lays off the gain but wnats a boost for a solo. If it were stolen I would simply buy annother one as they are so cheap. This pedal works best with a humbucker equiped guitar and a valve amp. If you have a Line 6 Spider or something similar I would not purchase this pedal. // 9

Ease of Use: It's easy of use: you've got to press on it, and it's not a little button but the whole bottom of the pedal, so it's easier to press right. The manual is just one page that explains shortly how to put the battery in and show the names of the different parts of the pedal. There are three knobs: level, tone and drive. // 8

Sound: I'm using it with an Orange Crush 30R amp, an Epiphone LesPaul guitar and two Planet Waves 24K cables. And I don't like this pedal. I've got another Behringer one, and it works really good, it's a good rock sound, but here the sound is just bad. It sounds like if your head was under the water. even if you put the tone knob at the maximal value it's still a bit like that. You can't have a little sweet Overdrive sound, if you put the Drive knob at 9AM it's already too much if you're playing blues or even calm rock. // 5

Reliability & Durability: It's a cheap pedal full plastic made, can't beat the competition. Knobs are all loose, plastic works like plastic. I wouldn't use it without backup for sure, because I wouldn't use it in a gig at all, you'll just look ridiculous with your submerged guitar. // 5

Impression: I play rock, alternative and Indie and if it worked properly and made a goud sound, it would be cool, but it doesn't. It's too low. A friend's got another Overdrive pedal from Behringer, a TO800, Tube Vintage Overdrive, and the sound was great, that's why I got this one, even if it's cheaper I thought it would sound allright. I think I'll buy it and try with it. So this pedal sounds bad, looks bad (look at the picture you'll understand), chews batteries. The only positive point it's that it costed me 15 bucks so it's not a big loss. // 5

Well I play in my church, and it's survived a few services

Haha, dude that's not a durability test. Haha. Well, with a Berhinger it is i guess, they make some crappy stuff.

Moron. Behringer make some good stuff, this pedal is good for the price, and having used their amps and pedals for many a year i have no complaint. I will continue to buy Behringer(not the guitars though)for many a year to come.
