An incredibly powerful and easy to use VA. A true knob per function machine that makes programming a breeze. Love the filters on this bad boy, and the modulation options are varied enough to keep all but the most fanatical synth programmer happy. Considering how cheap these babies go for at the moment, there is no excuse for a serious synth buyer to add one of these unique sounding units to their studio.

An excellent mid range interface that represents very good value for money. Nicely transparent pres combined with the option of ADAT expansion make it perfect for the home studio. My only issue is with the volume knobs, as the tiny little indicator bump on them are the same colour as the knobs themselves making it very hard to see what volume the unit is at. Twin headphone out is a nice bonus, and the routing software, although daunting at first, is actually incredibly flexible and a breeze to get you head around after a bit of experimentation.

If you want an ultra cheap way to add some inputs to your existing ADAT compatible interface then this unit may be for you. Bare in mind though that you do get what you pay for. Don't expect an amazing or even good sounding unit. It's functional for its price, and second hand makes for a value for money interim measure until you can afford something better. I read many reviews hailing this unit for its sound quality, but was left feeling pretty disappointed after A/Bing the pres against the Focusrite Scarlett. It definitely didn't sound anywhere close to the Scarlett pres, with the output on the Behringer being significantly muddier, particularly in the high mids. Still, for the peanuts I paid for it compared to other options it's passable, but I will for sure be upgrading to something better once I have the money. NB : There is apparently a newer model that features Midas designed pres, so I'd recommend tracking one of those down if you're going to go down the Behringer route.

I use this to mic up a cab that's sitting in an iso box, and so far it I've got no complaints. It's my first mic so I can't really compare it to anything else, but so far so good !

If you're looking for that classic Vox tone in a neighbour (and wallet) friendly sized package, look no further. Featuring twin EL84 tubes and two 12AX7 pre tubes, 3 band EQ, 7.5/15 Watt switch, clean and hi gain settings (labelled Thick/Bright), 8 and 16 Ohm outputs and a classy exterior all come together to create a pretty amazing little package. I mainly use it for the crystal cleans, but the 'Thick' channel option is no slouch at creating old school metal tones, and it's often my 'go to' head when I want to create some buzzing, high gain black metal riffage without having to resort to tone sucking pedals. One of the few bits of gear I don't ever see myself selling.
