Well,I play 5150s and have four of em so no need really for me to get a Bugerawhatever.(and yes,the Windsors leave a lot to be desired.more of a vintage sound to me,not modern at all).I like XXXs,JSXs and I have a XXL thats pretty badassed for SS.
I have a Behringer BG412 cab in our practice room.its not the greatest sounding cab either with its Bugera-Jensenwhatever speakers compared to the Sheffields in my 5150 cabs or for sure not my fave Celestions in my Marshall cabs,but it works ok for an extra stereo cab to the other side of the room.I wouldnt record with it or use it as my primary gig cab behind me.
But,I do have tons of Behringer stuff in our studio and the pro audio gear I buy always seems to do its job.I wouldnt buy their power amps for our PA gear,we use Crown only,but some stuff I dont buy because of the price,more like its available when I need stuff.But price is for sure a factor when it comes to some studio gear.I try to always research and compare specs and prices with the high end gear to decide if its a bargain or not.I have a 48channel patchbay,several different DI boxes,a VirtualizerPro multi effects processor in the recording rack w/midi programmer/changer,a 15band EQ/feedback destroyer in my guitar rack,a rack tuner(does suck a little tho.cant use for downtuned tones if amp is in distortion,has to be on clean,but then it works fine.but hella lot cheaper than a Korg),and passive studio monitors.Maybe I just picked the stuff you cant go wrong with,but their pro audio gear does get the job done.and for cheaper.I went to 2 music stores yesterday to get stuff for the studio and out of the stuff I went after,both stores had Behringer gear I was looking for,and in stock.I didnt find the Furman p.c. I wanted at GC,so I had to settle for a different unit because the one I wanted wasnt stocked.So,sometimes availability works for me.When I need it I need it now.Cant wait for something to be shipped to me.Grrrrrr.I hate that.So,if Behringer saturates the market with their gear,guess its working for them.Works for me when I need something today...
