Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive 5-stars Reviews

Recreating the Iban.z wonder

This little pedal however plasticky it may feel to the touch has a lot of potential to offer. It delivers the sound we know and love from it's inspirational source and that at a fraction of the price.

For me, being a producer and session percussionist occasionally laying down a guitar line in a production, buying into the Behringer stomp box range makes a lot of sense both soundwise and when considering the cost/benefit aspects of it.

Great stuff cheap!!

A bargain Tube screamer that rivals the original!

This is the tube screamer, and not just any tube screamer, but the original one! There is literally no difference in sound whatsoever! The controls are familliar, and it works the same. Gain on minimum, level at maximum, tone in the middle for a boost, everything else for a good overdrive.

The build quality is like any other Behringer pedal of this range however and that means plastic all over with wonky connectors. The knobs are ok though. But for a approx. $20 pedal, it's no surprise, nor does it matter in this case because most people will have it on all the time without stomping on it too much (as a boost).

If you never tried a Tube screamer as a boost, this is the best one to get to see if you like/need a tube screamer in your life. It's affordable and the sound is (at least to me) indistinguishable from the real thing. Later, you might want to upgrade to a real one in case you need a sturdier pedal, but for a pedal that stays on and isn't stomped on, this one will last a while too!

It's amazing value for the price!

Fabulous at this price point.

In my opinion it Just sounds really nice. Gives a very usable crunch.

Cons - very awkward access to the battery compartment, and made of plastic so won't be as durable as a metal housing. If it breaks, just buy another one!

super cheap and very good

for the price, it cannot be beaten, and suprisingly versatile. the only down is the power plug is on the side next to the jack input - what a silly design idea. the plastic case is actually great and the switch is super silent and smooth. The knobs feel a bit cheap - but are totally fine. It looks a bit like a frog, my gf loves it. me too.

best rocky sound i've ever had

Even this is a cheap product, i bought it and i love it, i get that good rocky sound that i should get from it and i finaly enjoy sound of solos that im playing, also it goes good for bass, not for electric guitar only... you can control your sound on it as u want, and it doesnt make your guitar to sound realy loud when you plug it into your amp... I recomend this product for everyone!

The best Tube Screamer copy out there!

The Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive is Behringer's version of the famous Ibanez Tube Screamer Pedal.

I have tried quite a few Behringer pedals, and this one easily tops the list. This stompbox sounds authentic and real. It covers a lot of sonic ground; from bluesy touch-of-overdrive to 80's hard rock sound.

Quality-wise the Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive pedal doesn't impress. It is built out of thin plastic and the knobs feel wobbly and unstable. However, this makes the pedal a lightweight, which is nice.

If my pedal would break, I would get a new one right away. The sound this pedal provides for under 40 € is totally worth it, hands down.

bought out of interest because everyone wants the Tube screamer!?.BUT, be aware that this pedal was designed to push an already

I'm in my 60's and can remember the sounds created by the bands of that era!...and this is a sharp, biting sound which uses that same 'CHIP' as Ibenez and does its job well....until you discover the Behringer TM300 Tube modeller at the same price!.....which does it and other overdriven sounds a lot better with a lot more attack speed!...but, may require a Behringer NA300 noise gate?...if it has a CS400 compressor next to it!....d;-)
