I would totally buy one used but I never see them. So perhaps they are awesome and so no one resells them, or they suck so no one buys them. I think pumpkinpieces' bass player or something had one and dug it? Behringer pedals are pretty decent in my experience but get a bad rap because of their shitty-looking enclosures and poor amp/cab reliability.

someone on shitty tgp did an a-b between one of these and a dmm but didn't say which was which. most people i saw guessed incorrectly, thinking he was playing the dmm first, but it was actually the behringer haha

Did you guys see what looks like a Small Stone clone on that Amazon page for $25?

You've gotta have some pretty brutal working conditions to crank that shit out for $25... Not gonna lie I want the delay and the pitch shifter

I know.. But the devil on my shoulder is like "DUDE $56.98 DMM"

What makes it even more difficult is that I honestly can't imagine the quality being much worse than EHX. It might even be better.

The quality is very good and over the next few years will get much better, odds are the pricing will go up as well. More and more the Chinese marked is leaning towards 6 sigma manufacturing and I think the last target I had was one failure per million parts made, which is pretty insane.

As a means of comparison
the last working labor rate I had in the US was 2.00 a minute in China it was .04 a minute, to be fair the US had overhead loaded in differently but at minimum it is 1/50 as far as the costing.

I apologize for the nerdy answer

That's crazy. So they'll actually be making more profit with the Behringer even though it's about 20% of the price huh?
