Behringer Klone

[Dave Lewis]

Hope he’s got deep pockets because that case will cost .

As I stated in the other thread, Behringer has deep pockets and Bill apparently can’t afford carpet. So this will be interesting to watch play out.

Personally, I would like to see Bill win this as the blatant ripping off of every single detail by Behringer needs to end.

What about Warm Audio?

And every other one on the market

Dunno. I have absolutely no interest in defending Behringer, but I mean, the guy is pretty much ripping off people as well - or at least trying to do so. There's pretty much no decent way to get an original Clone - and he could easily change that but doesn't.
Anyhow, I have zero horses in this race, if at all, I'll buy a NUX Horseman.

Behringer actually called theirs the Centaur overdrive though. I don't think there's much Bill can do about the warm audio one. If behringer change the name slightly they'll probably be fine.

"IC" what you did there.

I agree. His business model isn't sustainable. Luckily there are countless other options that don't blatantly rip off his IP. A circuit is one thing, but the name, logo, case, design, etc.? No bueno.

Behringer are scum. Mystery solved.

Doesn't say "Centaur" and neither did they 1:1 copy the graphics. Thin line, of course, but Uli might've leaned too far out the window this time.

 

[Sascha Franck]

And fwiw (we've been there already, but still): I loathe companies stealing a design 1:1. Re-using popular circuits likely can't be avoided (and possibly even shouldn't), but FFS, show some dignity and leave the original design to the original creator. Obviously that applies to Warm Audio every bit as much as to Behringer.

I use one of these. The silver and gold modes are a nice touch… plus 18v internally.

It’s in their Queen of Tone too along with a BluesBreaker on the other side. Stackable and routable. With a JFET boost switch on the back.

All klones are 18v internally.

Not sure she'd agree...

Is there a difference between the two?

According to @SillyOctpuss not on the originals (didn't know that before myself), but on the Horseman, the silver mode is a little gainier (and possibly sounding a tad more aggressive in general, too), so that's a neat option.

Yeah, I was referring to the originals.

They need the Charge pump for the Direct current pulse.

Just the colour of the case, the circuits the same.

The case is not the same. It is smaller, and others use the exact same case as well.

You sure about that? I’m not sure the Mosky is.
