Great sound and plenty amounts of power for the price!
Quality:
sure, the material it is made out of looks kinda cheap but you cant beat the sound this gives with its price.
Sound:
combined with my ESP LTD KH202 guitar it sounds amazing. I've always loved the distortion that came from behringer amps and the clean channel also sounds amazing.
Reliability:
just bought it:P but my smaller one i've had for 3 years with no problems.
Overall:
When i first took this baby for a full test drive with my band, it was just what i needed. i owned the smaller 10 inch speaker version of this amp and i loved the sound it put out and all i needed was a louder one to compete with my band. this amp competes very well when the master is set to level 7, so im glad it still as some more power left in it to rock the place.I've been playing guitar for about 5 years.
Tone:
you can make your tone anything you want it to be. one of the great advantages to this amp:)

Great practice amp
Quality:
As I said this is no concert amp, it can be used for giging if you run it through the mixer instead of using internal speakers, but lacks the power and agility for true jaming.
Sound:
The tones aren't bad, the low end gets a little rattled if you have it up past 5 but otherwise it sounds pretty good, I have the behringer FCB1010 pedal then I run the line outs to the mixer to help with feedback, this way I get all the sounds I need from the amp and effects pro without having to turn the amp up very loud and I don't have to mic it.
Reliability:
Personaly I think this thing is built pretty sturdy, I haven't had any issues with it yet, and I move it all over the place.
Everything works perfecly so far.
Overall:
The Behringer GMX212 has plenty of features and power for use as a practice amp, many reviews discuss the issue of feedback especialy when using an acoustic guitar and they are correct, I have to set the amp in a seperate room to be able to play over the band and keep the feedback down, also the same using an electric just not as bad.
Also I have to turn this up to six to compare to a pig nose 20w set to 1.
Also using an acoustic on the clean channel with no gain you have to crank it up to get any usable sound out of it.
Playability and Feel:
not an issue.
However learning how to get around on it and what settings are best for you can be tedious, but thats the fun in getting a new toy.
Tone:
tone is adjustable in several ways, although one of the settings for speakers all but turns the sound off so I don't even know the use of it, there also isn't a setting for the country sound instead they are all rockish, or beetles type sound.
Finish:
The cabinet is just as you would expect, unit is pretty bulky and a bit heavy.

Best amp for any app...
Quality:
Both well made and dependable.
Sound:
The tone is awesome. I find that no matter how hard it is driven, the tone is clear. It stays cool during long sessions and the sound can be transformed with pedals.
Reliability:
Still works brand new. I drive the amplifier with a pedal board and it still rocks.
Overall:
I did not want an expensive amplifier that wasn't built for the road. This amp was built to last and it stands up to harsh treatment.
Playability and Feel:
It is heavy. I believe the weight adds to the durability of the instrument.
Tone:
The tone can be manipulate based upon the users interest.
Finish:
The amp is not a custom purchase. It was meant for entry level guitarist but the plain exterior allows a musician to not feel embarrassed if red shag carpet goes out of style.
Action:
I bought the amp out of the box. It did not have any problems.

Great AMP for the Money
Quality:
Seems to be great. never had to do anything but use it.
Sound:
Sound is very good when adjusted to taste. Takes a bit of set up but that is expected.
Reliability:
Still has the tags on it from the day it was delivered. looks like new but it has never been out of the house expect when moving.
Overall:
Very good product for what it is. I have had this AMP so long now. Must be 6 years now. It still screams like it did the daay it was delivered. I did just buy a Fender Tube AMP just because and waiting for its arrival but this one will always be by my side.
Playability and Feel:
easy to use and set up
Tone:
Very bright and snappy. It will do the job and do it well. So if you don't have money to burn but need power, this guy will do it.

This would be a great amp and twice the price.
Quality:
Out of the box this amp was perfect. I have never had an issue with it. I carry this amp all over (it is much better than carting my old half stack around) and it looks and sounds as good today as it did when I bought it.
Sound:
Since there is such a wide range of tone that this amp can produce you will need to tweak it to your taste and that can take some time. Once you have it setup, the sound is supreme! I play classic rock everything from Niel Young to AC/DC and Van Halen. This amp always delivers the sound that I am after. I use the FCB1010 midi board on stage and it is an unbeatable combination. The whole rig (midi and amp) will cost less than $400. which is amazing.
Reliability:
I have had this amp since 2004 and it has been hancled by roadies and trucked all over the Northeast United States. I have never had any type of issue with it. Our band has several pieces of Behringer gear and they are the most reliable equiptment that we have. You have to use common sense too. If you throw it off the back of a truck you are going to break something. Although my Midi board was dropped down a flight of stairs onto a concrete floor and suffered no damage at all.
Overall:
I have had this amp since 2004. I gig regularly and cart it to practice every week. I use the headphone jack to practice in my home daily. I have not had 1 issue with this amp. The sound is excellent for the style that we play.
Tone:
This amp can produce any tone that you want. You have 2 channels each with 3 amp models and 3 gain stages and 3 speaker emulations giving a very wide range of tone. You can go from a tweed clean toa Mesa hi gain with the flip of a switch and the turn of a few knobs.

Phil from Paducah,KY
Quality:
very well made. the worst feature is the plastic control shafts
Sound:
great tone. kind of reminds me of the old Fender Super reverb
Reliability:
I've drug this amp all over in the back of truckand equipment trailers and the only thing I've replaced is the input jack
Overall:
I've had mine for over 2 years and i love
Playability and Feel:
sound great and the controls are easy to set up and understand. effecs are very good, though I don't use many of them
Tone:
it has about any tone you want. I use it on stage a lot
Finish:
good, butthe covering does tend to tear easily. needs a good cover if you carry it around much
Action:
display model at music store. they sold out and it ws the last one they had. It was ready to go with no problems

If you want to jam at more than one location this is not the amp for you. I'm afraid to sneeze anywhere near this amp for fear it might break.
Overall:
I really wish I would've returned this amp in time to get a refund. It's fragile and the sound quality sucks.
Playability and Feel:
n/a

Quality:
Missing a knob on shipment
Reliability:
No longer works properly - input jack isn't very durable
Overall:
LOVE this amp - just wish it was more reliable. Word on the street is that Behringers need constant repairs. And even though mine no longer works, I'll probably get another one; for the sound, effects and volume.
