SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: If you're a gear snob and highly emotional, get your Kleenex out, because this may get messy.īehringer started in 1989 with a guy named Uli Behringer. And we’re going to do so in a calm and civilized manner. We’re going to explore the pros and cons of each. We're going to compare the original pedal to the Behringer replica. What I want to do here is walk you through Behringer’s most popular units.

And let me start off by saying: this is not an article where I’m going to defend (or dispute) the ethics of mass-producing replica pedals. For better or for worse, this is a brand we’re all familiar with, by name if not by reputation. If you've spent any time at all searching for new guitar pedals, you've definitely come across the Behringer line of effects.
