LR Baggs Venue DI Direct Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would have given this product five stars if the tuner stomp function was 100% reliable, which it isn't.
Otherwise, Baggs has created a great update to it's classic Para-Acoustic D.I.
I love the easily accessible knobs, in contrast to the Para's harder to reach (especially the gain control) knobs. However, the Venue does have one out-of-reach knob, and that is the adjuster for the 0-9db boost "stomp" function, which is a great feature on this pedal and one I use frequently during performance. I just wish I could adjust the db setting more easily; it's the one knob that is hard to access. Bummer.
The tuner issue I mentioned is the following: about 15% of the time (which is way too often), when I stomp the mute/tuner switch, the signal indeed mutes, but the tuner does not light up and engage. I have to stomp and re-stomp several times to activate the tuner when this occurs. Lame and annoying onstage.
Overall tone of the Venue is meaty and strong -- as good if not better than what I had with the Para, which I used for years before acquiring the Venue. I am happy with this product, but I really could use a stomp tuner that activates when it's stomped, 100% of the time.

Behringer GMX212 2 x 60-Watt Stereo Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is great with 99 effects presets and at least 100 watts depending on what speaker configuration you get(Jensen Or Bugera), it is fully gig capable, you can connect external speakers/cab, it has a tuner and comes with a footswitch! It is perfect if you like playing hard rock and metal. And you can have 3 amp simulations(UK:Marshall,Californa:im assuming Fender, and the 3rd is Tweed, and and 3 mode simulations(hot,hi gain,clean)and 3 speaker simulations(US,UK,and Flat) which can be combined! I have my 1st channel preset to Chorus with a little of delay to get that Randy Rhoads tone, and my 2nd channel with Flanger and delay to get a Rhoads/EVH/Hammett sound. It is a very good amp, dont let the price fool you! I compared this to my cousins 75 watt Line 6 Spider II which is more expensive and this one blew it out of the water, my cousin even wanted to trade, of course I said no way. Mine is louder and has a better tone.Id definitely choose this over a Line 6 anyday.

The V-TONE GMX212 may look like a single guitar amp, but by flicking a few switches, it actually gives you access to a multitude of totally different amp voicings. You also get 99 effects presets in stunning 24-bit stereo sound. Plug in your guitar and let your tone odessey begin.

A Virtual Roomful of Gear The 2 x 60-Watt GMX212 is the perfect amp for the guitarist in need of a wide variety of tone. Take your pick of three amp voicings:
TWEED gives you the soulful, bluesy sound of vintage 50s amps
BRITISH gives you the hard-rocking sound of the 1960s British Invasion
CALIF gives you the sparkling clean tones of the American West Coast's most famous amps

Speaker Emulation Combine the above amp emulations with one of three speaker voicings for an even wider tonal palette:
UK simulates 4 x 12" speakers in an enclosed cabinet
US simulates 2 x 12" speakers in an open casing
FLAT is a special setting designed especially for the GMX212's 12-inch BUGERA speakers

Select from CLEAN, HI GAIN or HOT gain settings to go from clean to heavy overdrive, then apply one of 99 digital effect presets for a sound that's uniquely yours. Meanwhile, Behringer's patented DYNAMIZER circuitry captures every nuance of your playing, lending warm tube-like compression to your tone.
Effects Galore The GMX212 features an on-board, 24-bit stereo multi-effects processor with a bevy or world-class effects--chorus, flanging, phasing, rotary, auto-wah, echo, delay, compressor and various effect combinations are available, along with 99 user presets and MIDI control.
Channel Your Tone Its tonal options may be vast and sophisticated, but at its core the GMX212 handles just like a classic guitar amp. Plug into the 1/4" input jack and then take your pick of two channels, each with GAIN, LEVEL, and three-band EQ. You can use the included footswitch to toggle remotely between the two channels – go from clean and reverb-drenched to distorted and delayed at the touch of a button. Put the finishing touches on your sound with the PRESENCE and MASTER dials.
Stay In Tune Thanks to the integrated auto-chromatic tuner (controllable via the included footswitch), there's no need for an external tuning pedal.
Back Panel Discussion We have given the GMX212 an extensive back panel for even more sound routing options. There you will find a loudspeaker output for connecting an additional speaker cabinet, a headphone output with speaker simulation, an adjustable AUX IN for devices like drum machines, and an RCA INPUT allowing you to play along with a CD player. There are stereo RCA and line outputs with speaker simulation for direct recording. An additional 1/4" jack connects to external effects devices. Plug a MIDI controller such as the Behringer FCB1010 into the GMX212's MIDI IN for even further remote control over the onboard effects.
