I've got the V-Tone Full UltraStack 120W, for years and it still sounds good on both channels. Jensen Speakers. Total shipped was only $650 with 2 spkr cables. I got the V-Tone 60W 2x10 combo for only $100 sent to my nephew for a Christmas present. Usually too loud for my sister. Onboard effects generally sound good, and good valve tone for a solid state, and much quieter than my Carvin SX300.
I tried to repair one of their cheapie guitars, but the neck was too warped. I had the Hellbabe and sold it. Bought one of their cheapo comp/sustainer pedals and it quit within a couple months. Still have a couple of the plastic pedals that work OK.
Behringer has been the best bang for the buck of anyone for SS amps. The other stuff is cheap, and of cheap quality. The Ultra Stacks are made out of thick particleboard covered with tolex, so very heavy. Came with rollers, two jacks, stereo/mono switch, great speakers, and thick metal grill and corners. Side carry handles as usual. The head has plenty of outputs and single instrument jack, lots of knobs, and two button foot switch of decent quality.
Up the Irons!

Two-channel tube pre, rackmount. Out of production, but I've been seeing 'em trickle past in the under-$100 range. Whistle

Will, what did you think of the amp when you gigged with it?

I had the chance to run it wide open a couple times about a year and a half ago. I found it to be quite Plexi-ish.

I hope in the world there is some issue of you get what you pay for.

I love my boutique pedals but I also like Italian shoes.

Podperson, I think that statement was made up by the people charging too much for the same thing you can get down the street much cheaper. It's a timeless sales pitch.

To a certain degree, it is true though, but a refuse to say that just because their products are made in China that they are inferior.

There's PLENTY of trash gear that came out of Japan -- not every piece can be Matsumoku or FujiGen Gakki (Matsumotu).

Behringer owns & controls its own plants. They're not using excess-capacity factories that were previously making lawn chairs for Walmart. Behringer also seems to have strong quality-test procedures in place, so it's not like the items are being shoveled right from final assembly into shipping containers & then distributed to store shelves.

I can't back up "you get what you pay for," at least in context of music gear, because over the years I've played $1,000+ guitars that lack tone & even have fit/finish issues. And there's certainly a few $200+ pedals that are just "borrowed" 1960s circuits with $5 of parts.

Inflating the price produces emotional buy-in -- people who pay more have a NEED to believe that the item is worth more, because they've put cash into it; add cachet, & the buy-in gets bigger. If I were to take a simple germanium fuzz circuit, build two, put one into a sheet-steel box with colorful artwork & tagged $250, & the other into a cast aluminum case (which I prefer) & tagged $39.95, I'll give good odds that half the players I bring in to do side-by-side tests will tell me exactly how the pricey unit is CLEARLY better-sounding.

Tony, you said exactly what I was thinking but I don't have the capacity to express it as accurately as you do.
