    So at first I thought the Ibanez sounded better, but then I tried closing my eyes, skipping ahead in the video, and seeing if I could guess which one I was hearing. I was like "oh yeah, that's definitely the Ibanez. Much clearer and crisper". ...opened my eyes and it was the Behringer.

      No, The TO800 is available new for $25 retail. It is based on the 808. Now finding a TO100 is a bit harder, which is based on TS9, but just found one new for 30 bucks. Now the VT999 Vintage Tone Monster is about 100 bucks used, but it has a Tube and once you replace with a good one, wow. Also the VT991 based on the Chandler overdrive (like what David Gilmour used on DSOTMoon). Runs about 60-70 bucks. All sound pretty good IMO. Some of the Behringers are hard to find for sure like the Ultra Octaver (based on the Boss OC-2), still looking for this one at a reasonable price.

    This guitar snobbery thing is getting out of control. When I first started playing in the late 70's I can't recall any of this. You learnt to play on what you had and it didn't matter. Now everyone slates cheap gear to make themselves feel better for spending £500 on a pedal that sounds like the £20 model. Strange world we live in. Nice demo Marty and Happy New Year.

      @justinbowlin8723 6 років тому +23

      I agree with you to an extent.....especially at churches, holy cow those worship guitarists are the primary contributors to this boutique gear boom. However, I will say that part of what led to all this modern day cork sniffing is simply the fact that there are WAY more options available, and way more info. Plus, you know....marketing. Just the nature of the free market. Also, I think the quality of affordable and widely available gear was better in the 70s. In today's market, there is a lot of junk to sift through. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that the guy making this vid is playing an expensive guitar and amplifier. So he clearly has a preference for the high end stuff.

      I've two Ibanez Tubescreamers, an Ammoon 'Vintage Overdrive', a Moorer Green Mile, maybe a couple of TS-style drives. And they all did the 'tubescreamer thing.' I just plugged 'em in and used them. Sounded fine. Only thing I'd say about the original is the Ibanez models are tough and well made so if you're going on a big tough tour that's maybe the biggest reason to buy those.

    I learned long ago not to dismiss cheap gear. In the 80's, I found a "no-brand" flanger that I picked up used for a fistful of dollars. I'm primarily a bass player and I used it to get a chorus effect on my fretless. It sounds fantastic. These days it's being held together with duct tape and super glue, but it sill works. Always give cheap gear a fair shot when looking for new stuff--you might be surprised sometimes.

  • @GONZOFAM7
    @GONZOFAM7 6 років тому +412

    I saw that pedal is $20 new. Electronic components are inexpensive, pennies for the resistors, caps and transistors, amp chip probably a buck in volume. The difference is likely in the build quality, plastic vs metal case and the screen printing of the name. Then how they wired it both in cheap labor overseas factories. Put the Behringer electronics in a metal case and call it the "Marty Scream box" and people will say it is the best pedal ever and way better than that inexpensive Behringer pedal. hahaha. Great video Marty thanks.

    Any perceived difference in sound would come down to the individual specifications of the actual parts. I have both and whenever I think there's a difference I adjust knobs and find out different. The tone- it's in there.
    I prefer the Behringer OD300 however.

      behringer usually does a 1to1 copy of the cirquitry of the pedals they try to emulate. so there's usually very little difference between the original and the behringer copy.

    • @theguynamedgio
      @theguynamedgio 4 роки тому +4

      thats because the are sonically identical. most companies buy their chip sets from behringer since they own and manufacture some of the most popular chips in the market, particularly their bucket brigade analog chips. found in their chorus/vibrarto and tremelo as well as their delay. i cant say anything bad about them. some people will say that they will break because the casing is plastic, ive owned a few for over ten years now and they work the same as they did day one. if anyone says its less reliable because its plastic, just remind them that glocs are make of plastic and those are designed to be used and take punishment.... just like these pedals. honestly i highly recommend their overdrive and their chorus both are amazing.

      The electronics ate exactly the same.
      I know some things about electronics and believe me they are the same thing.
      Everybody admit that.
      Now for the plastic box, i never seen a broken one, and i an 59 years old..
      Very smal difference may you find, it does not matter if it will be forvthe worst or the better. Resistors, capasitors got a toilerance that makes then behave little differently. But this does not mean which will be better, they are just a little different.
      OK, we feel better to have the expencive one, but nothing to do with sound quality.

    Cool video! You know, I’ve always had pretty good luck with some Behringer pedals. Maybe not so much with their digital pedals that copy more expensive digital pedals, not really into digital anyway. But as far as their analog pedals go. Many times they pretty much nail it. I’ve been scoffed at by other guitarists for using the occasional Behringer pedal, ( I hear their little giggling and see them pointing) until I start playing that is. Then they change their tune about the pedals. They’ll actually wind up digging the tone. Don’t worry about being what I call, a “badge whore”. Be smart. Save yourself money and buy the much less expensive ones and just play. You might be pleasantly surprised!

A single coil on the Lawrence sound a LOT like a decent Tele bridge PU. The magic stuff happens when you use another regular 2-PU selector to mix a neck Strat PU with various bits of the Lawrence, separate V's on each.

      Yeah the Monkey is a great pedal. It does a decent classic-rock crunch straight into a clean amp with the gain all the way up and it really excels at getting a good tight rhythm tone for the chugga chugga palm muted stuff. It doesn't have all the versatility of some of the higher end pedals, but it does sound just as good.

    This video is four years old! It may surprise folks to learn that currently in Japan on Amazon you can get:
    That TS9 for around $84 new.
    That Bheringer for around $59 new.
    The TS mini for about $62 new!!
    Given that the Ibanez pedals do sound better, for the money I'd just as soon pay the extra 3 bucks. I'm actually impressed that the price has stayed so consistently low on the Ibanez pedals. And still made in Japan, nice bonus that. Now if you can find a deal like Marty did for 10 bucks, I'd say go for it, but if you're buying new I'd stick with the Ibanez gear.
    If you've got cash to burn and want every TS model under the sun, the JHS Bonsai is a very good option IMO, and you're supporting American workers when you buy one.

    It's probably all in my head but for some reason with EVERY comparison like this that I've seen when the more expensive pedal goes on I think the player puts a little more umph in their playing so it ends up sounding better to my ears but really in most cases they are sonically equal not just tube screamers all types of expensive overdrives and their cheaper clones. I think I usually get a clearer idea when someone a/b with a short loop already made. Idk it's still all good stuff!

    When he did the side by side comparison, the settings on the pedals were different, so of course there'd be a LIIIITLE more umph coming out of the ibanez. if you set them the same, they sound pretty similar. and even with the different settings the behringer pedal sounds just as good.

    There are so many things could be changed or fabricated in the cheap pedal, chip is the same, but what about the filters in the pedal which is responsible to filter the sound, that could have a lower quality material , what about manufacturing quality, and the environment where these pedals have been manufactured in? All that could count and have their percentage in how they could affect the sound, and you don’t choose the one which has better reviews or higher price, you should listen and record then see if that my sound or not, and i hear that the tone on the IBANEZ one is brighter and clearer than the other one, and I definitely need that in my sound.

    The behringer was a little lacking in clarity compared to the Ibanez, but I don't think it would be anything to scoff at and write off. If I remember correctly, the behringers are hard plastic instead of metal housings, which is the turn off for me. I'm not terribly hard on my pedals, but I'd rather be stomping on metal instead of plastic just for peace of mind.

    Most people rave about how close to expensive pedals the Behringers sound. The two major complaints are that they are housed in plastic cases, and that the battery is difficult to change.
    I don't know why Behringer don't address these issues. A metal case wouldn't increase the price dramatically. Their pedals would then be above critiicism for the price.

    theres a problem when putting pedals next to each other for sound, there is definitely a difference, but then again if someone didn't know what was what, then you would get half picking one and half picking the other. when you hear them separately, you will then know if you like it. if i buy a pedal, I have to test a few, I do a riff at home, and bring it into store on a player with line out. that then goes into the pedal, and i record it on another, I then have a little play to see what sounds different, I then go home. I listen to each recording again with a 5 minute gap inbetween. sometimes 10 minutes if i get some serious bias. I have sometimes picked the cheaper pedal as sounding better, and other times more expensive ones. did it when getting the horse breaker. I really just wanted that klon pedal, but the horse breaker sounded very close to me, and playing it in the guitar store felt amazing, though so did some other pedals. I then settled for the horse breaker ultimately because its 2 pedals in 1. tbh it doesn't matter so much on the pedals, its knowing how to play.
