If you haven't already, check out the effects reviews section at Harmony Central:

I found it useful in justifying my purchase of a Little Big Muff Pi after I had done so  :roll:

king dan:
ah, behringer pedals.

They are definitely your "value menu" pedals...they work well, but they are cheaply made.

Believe it or not, I have two on my pedalboard (as a working musician).
I have the DR100 stereo digital reverb and the VT911 tube overdrive.
They both have super low noise and exceeded my expectations.
The reverb pedal is more like what you are looking at, their standard pedal "shell" is all plastic (kinda flimsy). My reverb has lasted me two years but that's probably cause I never stomp it with my foot (I leave it on the whole show). One bad stomp could definitely end its career permanently. This probably goes for all their plastic pedals.
The digital reverb sounds are unbelievable for 20 bucks worth of pedal.
The primary overdrive unit on my board is actually the Behringer VT911, it's a neat overdrive pedal with an actual 12AX7 tube sitting in it. It's also solid steel and built like a tank (not plastic). Sounds great with my solid state amp, it really warms up the sound and can produce tones I can't get from any other source.

So yes, I will vouch for their products.

Of course, the more expensive stuff is better (sometimes not that much better actually) but for 20 bucks a pop, who's complaining?

Patrick:
Besides, if you can get in there with a soldering iron and you aren't a complete jackass when it comes to working with electronics, you could probably replace the wiring so it doesn't shit out on you.

Christophe:
I can vouch for the Behringer VT999 Tube Monster's alrightness. Right now, I use it as my main rhythm sound and use my Boss overdrive/distortion as a lead boost.

Thing is, though, their pots and switches are weird, in that that they're constructed differently. The footswitch is built on a fucking spring, and the knobs have plastic shafts that extend down to the circuit board. Well, then. At least once I get some good use out of it and/or change the tube, I might overhaul it to death (if, of course I had the electrical know how to do so without frying myself).

Or, I could probably stop acting a fool and replace both pedals with one of these.
