Hi,
I've tried the bo100 blues overdrive by bheringer (17.90 € here in Italy) with a Fender Blues deVille and a Marshall Valvestate.
I bought the Behr Vintage Tremolo and it is nice for the price, so I tried this one but, in my opinion, it's not as godd as I thought.
Harsh unpleaseant highs and a lot of interference with the gain maxed out, squashy mids, I thought it was a Boss Blues Driver but the Boss is miles and miles ahead.
Has anybody tried it?
I was curious about the Vintage Tube Overdrive (a Tube screamer clone I suppose) but the shop hasn't one yet.
Ciao,

Interesting, there were some opinions about this and a full "take it apart" photo
session ( could have been Ton or Jack ? )
The Tremolo is fine, Accousic simulator also not bad ..... for the money !
The GDi21 which is a "Sansamp-a-like" sounds good, but when using the
balanced output recently, I had a horrible "high pitched" whine/noise
from it ?
Jack output sounds fine though ....
I'm waiting on the Delay/Flanger/Phaser to check out....
Seems like in general, very "cheap" OD's/Distortions just dont sound as
good as Boss/Ibanez versions .... of course "DIY" is always better eh ?? :icon_wink:
"99% of the time, you get what you pay for" is my take ..?

I just picked up the flanger and it doesn't sound too bad. Nothing in particular about the sound stood out, good or bad. The mode switch (positive or negative feedback) is a nice bonus. The LFO sweep is a little asymetrical as well.
The board mounted pots are going to be a problem in a real hurry if it gets gigged at all and the battery replacement setup is asking to be broken. Fortunately for me neither of these things will ever be an issue since I haven't gigged in years.
Check out the Danelectro Fab Flanger on their website. How anything could make the Behringer stuff seem overpriced is a bit...odd...but this little thing just might.
Picked up the UC100 chorus for one off my kids.
He (11 yrs old) likes it a lot. Lots of usefull settings.
The tone and level (mix) knobs are usefull extra's although the tone control could be more effective.
We didn't like the stereo option, it seems to put a volume dip in the left side. I think it's just an out of Phase ouput.
To my surprise it feels a lot sturdier than the plastic made me think. Great value for 19Euro.
I'm waiting for a moment to take it apart when he's not toying with it ;)
