Every Behringer Pedal and the Pedals They Imitate

Behringer pedals are the staple of the ‘afford-a-board’ bracket of pedalboard culture, and rightly so. Their affordable pedals take on the sounds of some of the most iconic pedals, but come with a price tag that leaves players feeling less stressed at the checkout.

The budget pedal line was created by Uli Behringer in the late 80s with a goal of catering for players of all abilities. Behringer pedals are known for their plastic casings and their resemblance to other notable brands of pedals. Don’t let this put you off though – Behringer pedals can often beat out the pedals they are emulating in blind tests.

Here is a complete (at the time of writing) list of pedals available from Behringer, as well as the pedals they are aiming to imitate.
