The main reason that Uli can make these pedals so cheaply is because of these facilities and his massive infrastructure. **Think Cloud City from the Empire Strikes Back with guitar gear, and you’ve got a pretty good picture. Behringer owns so many pieces of equipment and has such extensive facilities that other gear builders often buy parts from them directly, including the BBD chip-sets like I use in my Panther Cub and Emperor (originally found in vintage analog delays) reissued by another of their companies, Cool Audio. For a company in the audio industry, this is extremely unique historically. The company has grown to the point that they actually have their own city in China called Behringer City.** They not only manufacture products but in most cases they actually make the components used in those products. Music Tribe also covers other companies that Uli either acquired or started including TC Electronic, Turbosound, Midas, Clark Technic, and many more. Since then, the Behringer gear company has grown tremendously and is now underneath a larger umbrella corporation called Music Tribe. 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. Regardless, I’m not here to nail Behringer to the wall, so if that’s the kind of article you’re looking for, I’d look elsewhere.

“But, Josh, you’re a boutique pedal maker.” Eh, that’s up for debate. 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.
