Behringturd is finally getting its long overdue respect that it so rightly deserves.
I used to use a Boss AC-2, then a guitar student gave me the brown AM100 Acoustic Modeler and I took the AC-2 off my pedalboard and the AM100 Acoustic Modeler won hands down.

Yeah I totally agree with you.
I have a large Behringturd pedal collection.
They make some excellent pedals .

This does the thing.....for absolutely nothing. This is why I have love for Behringturd.... because paying more than 100usd for this...or that circuit, is laughable.

Not gonna lie... probably gonna cop one in the near future.....anyone want to trade for an op amp muff ..for one of these?

Sounds pretty good from the video. Hopefully build quality allows it to survive on a pedalboard for more than a few gigs.

I’d expect the bias to be all over the place on these, but most fuzz enthusiasts are familiar with checking and adjusting transistor bias anyway. Would be a good sign if they have trimmers inside.

£50 on pre-order here in the UK (expected to be out end of Nov here), and the missus just asked what I'd like for Xmas...

...hmmmmmm.

 

[Dave Lewis]

Andertons say stock expected Sunday 24November.
I rang them to double check.
All other retailers sites I looked on say a few months and next May.
So not really expecting it this year.

I'm assuming it's silicon based. I've not seen anything yet that says germanium and companies can't wait to start yelling about NOS germanium parts if they've used any. That will make it a lot easier to bias if they're not dealing with leakage.

Im not interested in buying one tbh but would like to have a look inside out of sheer curiosity.

60€ over here in central EU, seems cheap enough to give it a ride even just for fun. I guess I'll have to have a closer look once they're up for grabs. Probably a fun Bender. And yes, I expect silicon for sure, much easier to mass-produce without walking right into various Ge pitfalls.

Yesterday I got a email saying a new delivery date from our suppliers is now 29 November 2024.
So it’s already moved from the 24th.
Anyone fancy a bet on the latest date changing ?
Thomann are saying delivery in a few months and gear4music are saying next May 2025

 

[Alonious_Monk]

Ummmm, I think I'll hold off for a bit. When we get final definitive dates then I'll put the order in. Really odd how different retailers have all got different dates.

Could build one before they actually get to shelves!!

Someone on TOP noticed an actual Behringturd Octavia, along with a Behringturd RMC wah pictured in their Fuzz Bender manual.

 

[Dave Lewis]

This is a outstanding pedal and Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins uses one live so that’s good enough for me

I also have one of these and it punches well above its price point

This is a much overlooked excellent Wah pedal that has no moving parts to wearout.Sounds great.

 

[Dave Lewis]

Mine arrived from Andertons earlier .
Nice metal case

 

[dronerstone]

1) How does it sound?

2) Is it noisy?

3) Any trim pots inside?

4) Have you tried starving the voltage?

5) Any chance at a gutshot?

 

[Dave Lewis]

Haven’t tried doing anything with it yet except taking some pictures.
Here’s some under the bonnet shots for you.
