This is how you do it

Anybody else see these? I oddly enough really like the idea of pedal starter kits. I'd probably get one if the pedals were more usable. And because I want a huge pedal board but can't afford any nice pedals

I can only imagine the slogan: "One pedal 20$? GET THEM IN THE LOT OF THREE and you only pay 39,99$!!!"
no but srsly... I owned the Behringer UZ 400 and the TO100... They are, feel and look cheap... and I got only one usable sound out of the TO100... it just sounded to muddy... but the UZ400 sounded pretty decent in a feedback loop... but too "sizzly" in stand alone use...

I may like the idea of the box more then a few cheap pedals in a package. Just start wrapping pedals up like packs of baseball cards and I'll collect them all.

The hm-2 clone is actually useable; I enjoyed mine until I got the box of metal.

That's not a bad idea! Behringer could do a bonus point system... like... put a sticker in every pedal's battery compartment and add some sort of "bonus point reward"
When you have 10 points you get the next pedal for free
I wonder if that would actually work..

That's only 12 pedals if I buy all the sets.
I'd feel naked.

Danelectro and various other companies did this too for a bit, did they not?

It's because this
Has been proven to be the best guitar for metalz and one knows that to properly accessorize color coordination is important.

I probably have $2500 sunk into my two pedalboards, and I still have two Behringer pedals that I use (one constantly, one from time to time). They both sound fine, haven't broken, and do the job. Let's be honest, people hate on Behringer because they have no pr0n factor. Meh.
