Behringer BX-300T Price Paid / Price New: $229 sale, $299 reg Year Manufactured: 2004 Specs Equipment's Specifications: 300 Watts into a 4-ohm load, shape, brightness, deep and ultrabass settings. DI, line-out and effects loops on the front.2 1/4 inch jacks and one Speakon connector in the back. 3-band EQ with adjustable crossover points. Footpedal with Shape and Ultrabass toggles. Sound: 5/5. I'm implying that as an amp, it doesn't get in the way. The Ultrabass feature is fairly worthless unless you use a 15" sub or similar. Even then it's a little muddy. Bright and deep are both settings that can be achieved thru eq settings, but provide a shortcut if you're not much of a tweaker. I paired it with a GK Backline 4x10 cab and the combo is cheap and quite powerful. Equipment Quality: 5/5. Until I see an example of poor workmanship or parts, I'll call it excellent. Knobs are solid and give a positive feel. It comes in a carpeted case with a nice handle on the side. Power switch is in the back Usefullness: Example 4/5. It does what it's supposed to. Ultrabass is worthless and bright can be dialed in on the guitar itself. Special points to a VU meter in the front Overall Value: Example 5/5. Definitely a huge bang for the buck deal. I don't understand all the hate for Behringer. Frankly I'm tired of ridiculous prices for gear and it's nice to see someone put out a solid product that will cause the big boys to compete for people that would have had to buy crappy, abused used gear at a pawn shop, or worse. ONE YEAR LATER: Everything still works great. No problems whatsoever. Now that I've had it for a while I finally have it dialed in just right. Sounds better than ever.

I stopped in to my friendly neighborhood Guitar Center and said I wanted a cheap wireless, one that would be ok 10 feet away. I never go far from my bass rig, so range is practically a non-issue. I took it to the studio and put it together. It worked on the first try. It just... worked. The guys at the store were all like  wireless.... but it's a friggin bass. These dudes are all worried about clarity and fidelity, but then they go and shred the everloving gently caress out of it anyway. Whatever.Sound: 5/5. I can't hear a difference between this and a cord. Quality: 4/5 a little cheap and plasticky. Strange connector between the instrument cord and the transmitter. Playability: N/A Overall Value: 4.5/5 It's cheap, it works, I needed one. Not much more to say here. Like I said before, it's a little flimsy but what do you expect for less than a c-note? Kinda reminds me of people that give me poo poo over my Kia 'cause it's a little cheap and plasticky. Hey, dipshits.. it's a $9,000 car. It's unwise to compare it to a Mercedes. 1-YEAR UPDATE: Holy poo poo, I've had this thing for over a year. At last weekend's practice I stepped on the cord coming out of the xmitter while standing up with it on my back pocket and no workee. I went to Guitar Center and miracle or miracles, they had a replacement. 16 bucks after tax. I'll likely rebuild the cable with something stronger. This is related to my only complaint, the lack of a tip-ring 1/4" style jack on the xmitter. The goofy 4-pin can't accidentally be pulled out, but you can't find it anywhere either. It's been through a few gigs and countless practices without a whit of trouble. Battery life is less than stellar, maybe 20 hours at most. I'm only complaining because 9-volts are kinda spendy. I still like it and my review still stands unchanged really. Kynetx fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Dec 6, 2005 |
