Behringer gear is good if you're on a really tight budget. It generally offers a lot of features for a relatively low price.

But to achieve that low price, they cut corners. Their quality control is suspect and service, when you can get it, is slow.

I have a couple of their compressors and a reverb. They work, but there's not a lot of headroom on the compressors - the limiters are too hard (more like clippers). The controls on the reverb aren't very intuitive and the owner's manual seems like it was written by somebody who must really hate sound people.

Bottom line - if it's all you can afford, you can learn to live with or work around the gear's limitations, but if you can afford better, go for it.
