V-Tone Bass BDI21 : Behringer V-Tone Bass BD121

I bought the Behringer V-Tone Bass BD121 to try and get more tone options from my solid state bass amp. I have been impressed with Behringer's products in the past, especially for the prices they are sold at, so this again was a good buy. The tone and EQ controls on this foot pedal are really responsive and the actual control knobs are very smooth and easy to use. The difference to my bass tone was very noticeable straight away and the variations in sounds I can get get have opened up my bass to lots of new frequencies. I have used it for both live and recording with my pub/bar band and the signal is very clean and clear.

The only downside of this product is it is made of plastic. Being a stomp box, I was slightly worried that the build quality would not stand being stood on over and over again at gigs. So far it has been very good and showed no signs of structural deterioration. My other pedals are made of metal and feel slightly more robust, but for the price, the V-Tone BD121 seems to be pretty tough.

I would say this is a good purchase for anyone looking for more tone options on a budget.
