Well, but the "Behringer" part makes me feel _very_ uncomfortable about it.

Apart from the fact that I don't know wether it works with linux, a friend of
mine had one and soon gave it to his co-guitarist as a cheap headphone-amp.
Its not really worth its money. Even if its cheap...

Disclaimer: Most of the Behringer-stuff is just crap but some is quite good
for the price. Which still leaves it to be crap compared to the originals
they copied...
If you really can't afford more, then it has an appealing price-quality-ratio.
In our church almost all the equipment is Behringer (the old series where
they where kind of good).
But if you lean more to the quality side and want to rather buy a real device
you should stay away from their products...

Enough said, the next one asking will be directed to my various
Behringer-bashing-posts on the archive.

Have fun,

Arnold
