This is a good deal. I use it for my acoustic trio. Upright electric bass and bass guitar through a Behringer bass EQ pedal or clean, two separate acoustic guitars ready (for when the percussionist plays rhythm), two hand percussion kit overheads, three vocals. Still left over inputs for the occasional bass drum and other stuff if needed. Has an input for MP3 during the break. Easy to run monitors as long as everyone is satisfied with the same mix. Sounds really good. Reverbs are typical for built in effects. Just good enough. I wouldn't record them, just wet the signal enough to keep it from being bone dry. Past that, they sound pretty cheesy like all the other boards. Another weakness I haven't seen others mention is that the power adapter attaches with tiny pins instead of the sturdy 'computer' style input most boards have. These are easy to break and the adapter is not marked well. I used white paint to mark the arrow on the top side so I would accidentally jam the pins in the wrong way. It doesn't seat well either once it is attached. That being said, I use it with powered speakers. That way, you could go as big as you wanted with this little board and get huge speakers and still have a simple set up that thrashes. Right now, I use two 15"s and don't have any trouble with medium size clubs. We have some big "two man" Mackies to drag out for the bigger gigs. I have had 0 problems in 3 years. Easy set up, which saves time, frustration and makes money. As cheap as they are, I've thought of buying a backup for the road, but never have needed it. We carried a much bigger 16 channel Mackie and all the outboard nonsense. It broke down and we couldn't get parts or service, even through MF. The difference in sound live isn't noticeable in the average venue to 99% of the audience. Spend $2500 on an Allen Heath and get that last 1%. If you're good players, nobody cares.

I've had my XENYX 1202FX mixer for a little over a year. I use it to record my drum set. I'm using all the inputs and the board really does sound pretty good. That's what makes this so annoying.The problems started when I began playing with the onboard effects. At first it was cool! Then I noticed the left channel would develop a weak and "static" signal, sometimes cutting out entirely for varying lengths of time.At first it seemed only to do this with the higher amounts of reverb. But now it does it even with effects completely off. I'm now looking at getting a better board, maybe a Mackie.At first I was really satisfied with it but if one has to buy a new board every six months is one really getting ahead? I don't think so.Also, a list of the effects can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site. I printed it out and keep it near the board.I wish it had 4 EQ knobs instead of 3. I don't feel like I have enough control over the equalization with this board. I struggle to get the snare drum sounding like I want, same with the bass drums. I can't help but feel like if I had a little more control over the EQ it would help a lot.This problem is driving me CRAZY and I have no idea what, if anything, can be done to solve it. It's even more frustrating because I JUST got the stereo imaging how I've always wanted my drums to be in the mix. I've swapped out cables, checked and re-checked connections & microphones and it STILL does it. It seems to be an intermittent problem and those are the toughest to track down.I have a very limited budget for sound equipment and, at the time, this board seemed too good to be true. It was. Save up for a better board. I've had a guitar amp by the same manufacturer go bad, too and so has my brother. If I had it to do over again I would NOT buy this board.

Comments about Behringer XENYX 1202FX Mixer:
I bought the XENYX 1202FX mixer to use with the Behringer powered speaker Eurolive B210D for a quartet in a small rehearsal studio. This mixer provides FX effects, EQ, Phantom power, etc. (check out the specs). This is a high quality product at a great price. I own a lot of behringer equipment purchased over several years which I use in my studio. Knock on wood, I've yet to have any equipment failures.

Comments about Behringer XENYX 1202FX Mixer:
I wanted a good sounding mixer with effects to use with my powered monitors for small venues (less than 200). I don't like to carry a lot of equipment, but I'm pretty picky about the vocal sound. This little mixer does the job. I was able to get a good vocal sound with the on board EQ and effects. It's small and compact, but has enough inputs and features to get the job done for solo and small group gigs. Now I can show up at a gig and wheel in my two 15" powered monitors, the mixer, my guitar, and bag of cables all on one hand truck! Nice and easy!

Comments about Behringer XENYX 1202FX Mixer:
PROS:
Small and compact. Great effects.
CONS:
No eq for LINE IN aka."the Tunes" This makes it difficult to adjust the bass, but if you are running from a CONTROLLER to the mixer there are no problems. IE, Hercules RMX or NUMARK MIXTRACK
