Guitarists: GLX Pedals any good?

Sp!ke · 25 Oct 2006 at 20:59

My lad has seen some GLX effect pedals which by all accounts seem to be Boss clones.

I'm a bit concerned as they seem rather cheap so the questions are has anyone tried them and are they any good?

I don't think behringer make them but I'm at a loss to find any info on them at all really, I think I'll just have to get one and give it a good hammering before deciding. Cheers anyway.

I saw the harmony reviews (first place I usually check

) unfortunately not the ones he wants. iirc he wants a compressor/sustain, a super chorus and a high power distortion (Oh joy, anyone sell earplugs??

)

All 3 would cost less than a new Boss so I think I'll give them a try, always put them on the auction site if they're totally carp..

The reviews do tend to be rather bipolar. They're either "I'm a professional musician this whizzle-wotsit sucks" or "I play a bit and this whizzle-wotsit kicks ass" But that's the way of the site unfortunately, but at least they are independent and are reviewing it without the underlying urge to try and sell you the stuff.

I tend to use the review averages as a bias towards one product over another, rather than a sole reason for buying that particular piece of gear.

As for these pedals his GP100 > * but it's rather a beast to lug around so cheapie pedals are the order of the day
