I bought 6 of the Behringer BOSS clones and I've been playing with them for a while. No burying the lede: I like them! Mostly. Watch the video for thoughts and sounds.
PRICE ALERT: Just noticed the price of these pedals is now $29 each (or more, depending on the pedal), but Sweetwater has created a bunch of bundles (3 pedals for $70). Yes, they're still worth it at $29. And if you can find a bundle of 3 you like well, hey, even better.
➤ I need to call this out: WHY IS THE BOSS METAL ZONE SO HATED AND SO CONTROVERSIAL?! It's a great pedal. You are crazy if you hate it. ;) If you do hate it let me know why in the comments.
➤ Oh, and I seemed a little hard on the Behringer Vintage Delay / Boss DM-3 in this video. Let me be clear: it's a nice classic bucket brigade delay and I use it, but it's just not my favorite delay. We're spoiled with delays nowadays and I try to take these videos from the vantage point of someone who is a newer guitar player and maybe only has the money for one delay. Why am I explaining myself here almost nobody reads video descriptions. ;)

About Behringer guitar pedals:
They don't only clone Boss pedals. They've cloned many many circuits. But today we're looking at some of their Boss clones.
➤ Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz = Boss FZ-2 Hyperfuzz
➤ Behringer UM300 Ultra Metal = Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
➤ Behringer VD400 Vintage Delay = Boss DM-3 Delay
➤ Behringer DR600 Digital Reverb = Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb (not direct clone)
➤ Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer = Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
➤ Behringer EQ700 Graphic Equalizer = Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer
Buy them at Sweetwater or Amazon. They're not worth buying used online because you're not going to save money. Sometimes Sweetwater has them on sale (e.g. I bought the Ultra Metal for $22) but they're generally $25.
