I KNOW THIS IS THE SECOND TIME TO ASK A SIMILAR QUESTION. I AM REALLY STUCK. I HAVE USED A ROLAND CUBE 30 BEFORE AND THEY ARE GREAT. HOWEVER, 3 PEOPLE ON THIS FORM SUGGESTED A BEHRINGER GMX110. HAS ANY ONE HAD A CHANCE TO USE BOTH? AND IF SO, IS THERE A DIFFERENCE OR ARE THEY THE SAME. THERE IS A BIG DIFFENCE IS PRICE. $225.00 VS $89.00. THANKS FOR ANYONE WHO WILL HELP. I WANT TO ORDER SOMETHING SOON............ ??? ??? ??? ???

First of all, please don't type all caps, this is a friendlyu forum and htere's no need to shout  ::)
Secondly, the GMX (that's with the effects) is going to cost more like USD170, still a savings, but I think Roland has a few more models/effects.
Finally, how long can you wait for a report? I was going to attempt to try a Behringer or two after New Year's.  Out of shear curiosity  ;)

I'm fond of the $99 Behringer GM110 Vintager. This is the one with the amp and cab modelling and the XLR out for recording. It is essentially a reasonably priced competitor to the Tech 21 amp. BUT, it does not have effects (unless you consider that amp modelling really is an effect and that effects are mostly an attempt to make you sound like you are using a great amp).
Personally, I think outboard effects are more useful than effects integrated into an amp... and you can keep them if you trade up on the amp, but that is a matter of preference.
Oh... and the GMX110 isn't due until March '03 according to Musician's Friend. The $69 X V-amp is due by the end of January, and would give you an amp and effects combo (with the GM110) for $170. ...and with a small mixer, a decent set up for recording.
Note: Behringer's effects get mixed reviews, you should listen to them thoroughly yourself. This is something that is a matter of taste and will depend on whether you can hear YOUR sound in there.

Get the cheaper one. Then spend the extra money (plus, maybe, a little more) on a good multi-effects unit. Then, when you need a better amp, you will already have the multi-effects unit.
