Cant they get into some trouble cloning every Boss move.. Is there a behringer od-3 pedal ?

If there isn't one now there will be soon. I doubt the circuits are identical or they would be in breach of IP laws. However they're doing it good on them I say - Boss pedals have been overpriced for a long time and them releasing the rarer pedals Boss refused to reissue (VB-2, DM-2, DM-3 etc) has really taken the wind out the overinflated corksniffer second hand market. HUZZAH

http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_bo_100.htm http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_to100.htm these look quite similar to the Boss Od series, has the same buttons, and then they have this pedal where You can switch between distortion and overdrive.. http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_to80 ... rdrive.htm this has some good reviews..

I can't wait till someone posts up a thread on harmony central or thegearpage, asking about a certain ''tone'' on some bands song. and it turns out its behringer....I will literally laff my cock off. and it would be totally worth it.

I'm still in two minds about 'em- sure, cheap pedals are great but I still don't agree with them completely ripping off other people's work and undercutting them.

I wonder how Boss feel about all of it..

It's Boss' fault there is a market for this. Especially not releasing deleted and overpriced pedals.

Plus for serious a lot of their pedals are overpriced. Â£70 for a Blues Driver? Â£100+ for a Digital Delay?

http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_vt91 ... rdrive.htm this is like the coolest pedal ever, its a tube (real tube, as they claim) overdrive, within 60$, thats real ? Cause real tube overdrives usually go over 100dolars, damn thats nice.. Do You think it has a real working tube, or is it just for the cosmetics ? Am, yes.. I now understand, from the cheapsters You just need to carefuly pick them out, but theyr really good.. I think too often these days we pay just for a brand or something, to feel "safe" among other guitarists, who will lol You off, just because You have an cheap pedal (even if they dont hear any real difference)

There is a real tube in it, it wont react like a tube amp as it hasn't got enough power going through the tube(they tend to put a led behind it to make GLOW)
but it should still sound good...but it wont be amp in a box. no tube pedals will be on 9volt

I mean, cloning the deleted pedals, fair enough, they're not competing for a market, but stuff like the PS-5 and other flagship boxes? Not so sure. Just smacks of "cuntishness" really. It's like someone copying your essay, changing a few words and handing it in earlier than yours.

But yeah, Boss are overpriced for sure, there's no doubt about that- I'd like to know how much it actually costs them in parts and labour for em..

From a consumers point of view it is a win situation for me. When you have so many boooo-teeek cunts making ts clones and fuzzface clones etc and then charging a made up price is way more lame than behringer making music boxs for poor dudes and dudets.

Like for example there is those pedals called moon rocks or summit I saw them the other day on harmony central. they ugly as shit and sound like fuckin ass. 600 dollars. fuck off!
