At least its cheap
Distributor my arse. Do you think the British virgin Islands (pop. 22,000) has the necessary infrastructure to support an amp making company or do you think it's a convenient tax haven for a subsidiary of Behringer?

The problem with Behringer (although they do rely on other peoples proven technology) is:
1) they use cheap components. The tolerances of the components used (i.e. how close they are to the design specification) will be very high. no two amps will be the same and it's a lottery whether you get a "good" one or not.
2) they use cheap components, it'll break easy even if you're lucky enough to get a "good" one.

Those pedals you show, unless you're a dab hand with a soldering iron and know what's what as far as replacement components go then it's a false economy. Most quality pedals will last at least three times longer than any behringer piece of shit, for less than three times the price and they retain their resale value.
