Amazing lush sound, responds very well to my playing style. I usually only use reverb and echo for guitar, and reverb for vocals - rates quite well against other products. Use it for solo gigs in restaurants, etc.

Probably too many effects, but the ones I use work very well. I did notice the warmth meter doesn't seem to work. I've read that's a common problem and will be contacting the company about that.

Nothing complicated at all. I think the folks complaining about hiss aren't using their gains right. Plus, this amp isn't for real loud playing. Anything setting at max will naturally give you problems.

While it seems to be built like a tank, the outer vinyl is fairly thin. I've only had the amp out a few times, and already quite a few rips in fabric. The dials are plastic, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. It might not do too well on the road however.

You cannot beat this amp for value - no way.

Sound is great. Rich tone with my acoustic electric.

Loaded with features. Wish you could use 2 different effects at the same time 1 for each channel. Also wish it had a headphone jack.

Super easy to use.

Seems built strong except for the built in amp stand

Excellent value for me. I got a steal on this amp for 80$ us

Had not needed to deal with them yet.

The wow factor is huge. So much you can do with this amp. I feel like I haven't even come close to its full potential yet.

Great sound for acoustics. Just turn up the volume and your acoustic guitar becomes louder, including the harmonics. It is very transparent. I also works well with electric guitars. The only thing keeping this from a 10 is that the warmth control does add some hiss at higher volumes.

The chorus and reverb are great! The warmth control really works. The tone controls have good range. The TWO anti-feedback controls nailed my feedback problems without damping the mid tones. The pick attack control is good, but I find that the speakers have so much punch that I don't need it for my acoustic. However, it does help with my electric guitars.

Everything works as promised. The amp looks cool too!

You can't beat the two full channels with pick attack, warmth control, double feedback notches, midi, 99 effects, etc.

I have only had one question for Behringer so far. They answered my email promptly. I don't know what others are complaining about.

Great amp - nice full acoustic sound, all the bells and whistles, looks terrific, and is not expensive!

classic rock

if your talking bang for your buck ... this is the amp of your dreams

tons of features ... most of which i probably wont use ... but at least i know they are there

as to be expected ... when you buy something with so much for so little ... well, their tends to be a catch ... not a poorly built amp ... but when you look at ultrasound, fender, and roland ... well the difference speaks for itself

like i said great value for the price ... nothing has as much at this price range

never had to deal up to this point

i liked it when i saw it ... loved it when i saw the price tag ... hated it when i carried it home (weight) ... and loved it again once i plugged in

It really sounds great , very good effects,It does have a slight noise when turned all the way up, but for my use I dont need a lot of volume

It has everything I need

This thing is built like a brick **** house

Best value of any amp I've seen or tried

Never had to deal with them

I have no idea why so many people complane about this amp. If you expect to get the same performance as an amp that cost 5 times the price, you will be disapointed. If you want a quality, performance worthy amp, this is the ticket. The noise problems are only apparent at the extreme of it's volume constraints. If you are a solo performer who wants to be at "Led Zeplin" or "blue Cheer" volume you probably won't be happy but if you are a folk-rock, blues, singer-songwriter (with a band), classic rock,country or celtic rock performer this is an amp worthy of 3x's the price. Every amp has noise (a lot of noise), whether it is a vintage Fender twin reverb,a state of the art,custom built amp or a $25 "loud for the price" amp. After using this amp in gig situations for a month I have to say that this is the best amp in anything near three times the price that I've ever experinced, just don't expect a $1500 amp for $300

No Complaints

You can't expect the same quality as an expensive amp but you get WAY More Than YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO EXPECT QT THIS PRICE

Way better than you have any right to expect at this price

I plan on obtaining this amp as soon as possible

Amps are all about the guitar you plug into it. My Taylor T5 loves it, so do all of my high end guitars. I also use it with a V-AMP2 and she rocks!

Loaded!

Read the manual, learn how to use it right and voila!

Built like a rock!

Feel free to compare it to Marshall, Genz Benz etc... This amp is a gem and probably worth $1000,00 if it was built in Germany.

Mine is a 2006 and have yet to have to call anyone.

This amp sounds awesome. The price makes it even sound better.

Has more features than amps three times the price.

The first one that I received had a bad hiss and a popping sound. The second amp was perfect.

Best deal on the market.

I have never dealt with the Behringer Co.

Looks great.

I just bought this amp and currently play a Taylor 310CE through it. I found the sound to be very good. I also have played for years and played many different types of amps, but this one really has a good sound. I would recomend this amp for any serious musician.

Lots of cool features on this amp....And I use them all.!

Looks to be built very well. I had mine shipped via mail, and it looks great. I havent used the legs yet! we will see!

Just cant beat this for the price!!

Never used it yet...hope I never do!

I just had to have this.

Jazz, Rock, john mayer stuff!

The amp sounds good to great at low volumes but take it anywhere past seven and you hear a buzz (like distorted guitar) on chords, the high notes sound too brassy and the feedback controls are useless as are the EQ components. Plus, i'm sorry but this microphone preamp is not First class. It sounds ok to good with reverb and terrible clean and the tube emulator does not add any warmth or difference to the sound and when you have the volume up the feedback is nearly impossible to totally diminish.

the tuner output is the most usefull thing i've used. My standing gold things that you prop it up on fell off after a day. The effects are ok but i'd rather have spent the money on a quality amp for more money without effects.

its ok for the money, you get what you pay for.

you get what you pay for, too cheap to be good.

I'm calling them tommorow to try and get these problems fixed. Lord I hope they are reasonable, i have a 2 year gold warrenty with them and if things don't get fixed it will be my worst nightmare.

it does look kinda cool, but blonde covers rule all.

acoustic alternative stuff

Hisses apallingly when you dare to engage any of the cheap, nasty effects. When 'clean', the sound is dull and without character, especially using the mic channel.

Fantastic array of whistles-and-bells. Everything you could ever want for studio and stage. Loads of in/outputs. Shame none of the features make any difference to the rubbish sound.

Great interface, especially with the included footswitch.

Behringer are notorious for their lack of quality control and the unreliability of their products... pot-luck if you get a good one or not. The amp looks fantastic, though. I was really pleased with how it looked when I took it out of the box. Sturdy construction, too.

If this amp worked like you'd expect, I'd say it was amazing value for money.

Sent it back for refund... we'll see...

I would't wipe my backside with this amp.

Awesome sound for the price! I plug in my Ovation and boy what a Sound! The effects are great too.

The foot pedal Helps alot. For the price there are no "least useful" features.

It really loos kinda vintage and the Brass sides that make it lean are great.

Can't beat it!

Great support! Bought a B-unit first and didn't like the buzz. Returned and got a new unit with "NO" hassels! New unit sounds great, no buzz!

Love the looks!

generally noisy

lots of effects, but how many do you need on an acoustic amp?

Bad design, poor quality, not reliable!

I started my search for an acoustic amp with a Fender Acoustasonic Jr. It sounded okay, but I didn't like the on-off effect of the chorus, so I purchased the ACX-1000. I was originally wowed by the number of effects it had, but just how many effects do you really need on an acoustic amp? The amp worked fine, if somewhat noisily, for almost a year. Then the phantom power circuit started to hum very loudly and the circuit could not be turned off. After getting in touch with Behringer tech support, I took it to the repair service they directed me to. After about 7 weeks the repair tech advised me they were getting my amp replace under warranty. Okay... When the new amp got to me a month later it did the same thing the third time I turned it on. Behringer tech support said the problem could not be repaired, issued a call ticket to ship the dead unit back and shipped me another unit. Turn around on this was about 3 weeks. This one is VERY NOISEY when the master volume is set to anything over 4! I use the amp to play my Gibson Chet Atkins SST through. The guitar sounds GREAT DI-ed through a PA system, but I'm going to cut my losses and trade this thing in on something else. I don't think I'll buy anything else with the Behringer name on it. Bad design is not a good investment no matter how little it costs.

No problem with support, just the amp.

No more Behringer for me, thanks...

Decent sound at low volume but at higher volume, hiss and humm.

Great FX.

Looks good but I'm not so pleased with their quality control this thing hisses and humms so I'm prob going to return it.

Decent price but only mediocre performance

no experience

The amp looks really nice.

eclectic mix of everything

Very noisy. I'd returned the first one after hearing too much hiss. The second one had the same problem. A bad FX board design?

All the bells and whistels. Too bad about the noise.

Nice look, Bad sound.

It would be if you could use it.

Friendly guys, but nothing they can do about the design until they build a better one.

Looks awesome, would be a 10 if it was chrome or all black.

They (Behringer) need to fix the buzz and noises in channel one. Also, Fender Accoustic Jr. amp has a better stereo sound. This one is MADE IN CHINA.

Lots of features/effects. Just too much noise.

Terrible noises in channel one.

Would be well worth the price if you get one that doesn't crackle and pop on channel one.

Have not attempted to contact the Factory. Sent it back for a refund!!!

Nevr again.

Overall the sound is clean and crisp. Distortion only occurs if you really bang on the instrument or turn up the input gain too high. At higher volume levels the feedback controls are very useful, but the notch filters could use some width control as they tend to dampen the overall sound. Still, for the money, it's hard to argue. Sounds remarkably similar to a competing amp costing $800.

Beautiful complement of features. Well thought out. The meter is useless but if you're into how your amp looks, it's a nice visual touch.

Excellent interface, easy to operate, didn't need to consult the manual to do anything, it's all in your face -- as it should be.

Damned heavy amp, appears to be built like a tank. No rattles.

No way would you get anything even close to this for the money. Take a look at a $300 Marshall amp if you doubt it. This amp's construction reminds me of my old Twin Reverb. It weighs as much as an outboard motor and will probably survive a fall off the back of the truck.

Asked one question via email, got an immediate reply, based on my limited experience I'd have to characterize their support as very responsive and friendly.

Sound is great if you have a good guitar..... my Ovation rocks with this amp.

love the midi, this thing is loaded.

Very easy to set up and get playing.

Very well built amp... pretty heavy though. NO Crackling OR BUZZING here guys all I gotta say about that is get a better guitar.....

best value for the price, sure there are better amps out there but you are gonna pay at least three times as much for one that will have a hard time out performing this one.

have not had to deal with them, so thats a 10 in my book.

I had a Peavey Ecoustic 112 (horrible) and traded it in after a week of frustration for this jem - what a difference in tone - for the idiots below who complained about hiss on channel one, get a decent guitar maybe and your problem will be solved - playing an epiphone or squier acoustic through this thing isn't going to do it justice.

More than enough features, some are usless (like rotary speaker) - the golden amp "kickstands" on the side are useless also, this thing weighs almost 70 pounds and will probably be too much weight for them to handle.

I bought the ACX1000 6 months ago, and have been using it heavily from the first day. It is beautiful sounding -- smooth and LOUD (120 watts total on 2 channels) and accurate. Voices sound super on condenser mics, and my electric/acoustic comes through powerfully, with a full, detailed sound, without boominess or muddyness.

I set it up in coffee shops, using the attached tilt-back legs, and it always fills the pplace up, even when there are a lot of people talking, coffee machines blowing steam and so forth -- my music cuts through everything, and if I don't turn it down a bit, people at tables can't even talk to one another easily. Heh.

By the way, anyone who has tried to use a GUITAR AMPLIFIER for voice amplification can tell you that it never sounds good. But the Ultracoustic ACX1000 makes your voice sound as good as it can possibly be. A real acoustic amp, like this one, is what's needed for both acoustic guitars and VOICES. If I had a Chicago-style (i.e. electric) blues band, I'd get an ACX1000 (or two) for the lead vocals and backup singers.

Ok, you get the idea. As someone else said, I went out and played all the acoustic amps before I bought the Behringer. If price didn't matter, this is the one i would have bought. It is louder and sweeter and more robust and more versatile than any of the others. And the price? Well, hey -- I was willing to pay less, since I had no choice.

This amp does not have the dynamic range needed for electric acoustic guitars. If you get the levels set for light picking, then try to strum a chord, the amp goes into clipping, forcing you to have to reset the levels. Also, every time you adjust the bass, mid, or treble, it changes the volume, so you have to re-set the gain again. The effects are marginal and sound mostly the same, and the amp does not handle bass response well, it's either too bassy or tinney.

This amp has impressive features in theory, it's too bad that in execution it is lacking. This is not the case for most of this manufacturer's products.

Excellent build quality, typical for Behringer products.

If the execution was as good as it's design theory, it would be a great value. Unfortunately, it misses the mark in actual use.

Did not deal with support people, so I cannot comment here.

Again, it's a beautiful looking piece of gear and well made. It just sounds crappy.
