This short video is in response to viewers asking questions about this Behringer GO case, and whether or not I like it. The ultimate answer is: I love it. There are a few insignificant issues with the case that are not likely the cases fault (odd fitting ends, for instance) and the only laughable dislike is the tiny power cable :-) I mean, come on Behringer... you couldn't afford 6 more inches? 🤪
(insert 12 y/o boy humor here)
Anyway. Almost 2 years with this case, and it is truly a wonderful purchase as both my System 100m case, or my travel case when I hit the road and want to take some squeaks and burps with me.

Seems like a great alternative to the $400-$700 cases on the market that have less HP.

@TJ-rf1xl 2 месяца назад

Great review. I think that ultimately this case is much like all things Behringer: not the highest quality kit on the market, but the price to utility ratio is so good that it will be a great value for producers anywhere in the pure hobbyist to semi-pro range.

@rexcellencemagee6729 7 месяцев назад

$249 for 2 rows of 140 hp and it’s portable, I’ve never seen anyone point that out! When you tighten modules it unsquares the case, so that should be easy to fix. I personally won’t buy anything with out the floating nuts (that’s just a personal preference that I feel makes it more professional feeling) also I agree with the short brick wire, but I move stuff around a lot so I Velcro the brick to the unit, when they all have they’re bricks attached there’s no confusion when reconnecting. Just my opinions and solutions! lol, Ty for the video! I think that you’re going back for more says everything! Peace

I have a modular synth myself, consisting of three Doepfer Low-cost Cases with fixed rails, and two Behringer 19" Rack Kits having sliding nuts. Although I much prefer the fixed rail system, monetary restraints currently limit my options so I'll be getting a Behringer Go Case when I've filled-up the last 19" rack, then filling it with more Behringer EuroRack modules, of which I already have several (mostly sequencers). BTW, the thing that really gets my own OCD glands enflamed is seeing open slots in my modular system - I just gotta use blanking panels. Anyhoo, thanks for posting this vid. Very informative.

This is great, thank you for your evaluation, ive got one coming next week and will bare in mind all your comments. If the power cord thing annoys me I will investigate the possibilty of mounting the brick inside the case in some way, but until I get my case I cant assume its going to be a problem for me.

@VisionsMusicGroup Год назад

Honestly, it's not terribly annoying in usage, my annoyance with the tiny cable is C'mon Behringer, really? 🤣 Let me know what you think once your case arrives!

@SeQFreQ369 11 месяцев назад

Just bought a new one of these cases, it has a longer cable on the brick and none of the warp/gap problems of yours, so it appears they have updated/upgraded it a little. I really wish they'd sell us the side brackets for connecting 2 of them like on the system 55 though.

@VisionsMusicGroup 11 месяцев назад

This is great news! I may pick up another one finally. Thank you!

@SeQFreQ369 11 месяцев назад

@@VisionsMusicGroup The rails are still only secured at the ends, so it does have the potential to warp with the weight of the modules, especially if you carried it by the "handle".

@speed0 Год назад

I have a few tiptop mantis cases with very similar power adapters. According to tiptop the short lead between the adapter and the case is intentional. If i remember right they said it leads to less interference/cleaner power supply than if they had a long lead.

@VisionsMusicGroup Год назад

Thank you for this info. It's probably somewhere in the Behringer manual too but maybe I missed it. Either way, not a dealbreaker, seemed a thing to bring up for fun :)

@zardoz53 Год назад

while this is true, the lead could be longer if the wire was of a heavier gauge and utilizing a shielded cable. As the author noted the rest of the comments are "picking nits". The case is not a road worthy type, but rather designed to control cost while providing a home studio workspace at a competitive price. thank for a good video of the case and its abilities.

@SyrusRayne Год назад

Thanks for doing this video! Some of your dislikes would definitely bother me, and I've been looking at maybe buying a Go rack, so this is perfect for me. Personally my main issue would be the sliding nuts - I've moved my Behringer Model D from case to rack and back enough to really hate those little things.

@VisionsMusicGroup Год назад

What you said to Andrew, exactly. The "threaded rods" as I called them (they are not really rods, are they) have me so spoiled, I shall never slide a nut again in this lifetime.

@AndyVonal Год назад

Hi VMG! I have 2 Go cases now, and I agree totally with all you comments (not really so bothered about sliding nuts, I've know nothing else!). I have taken the cases out to play live and they hold up well. I love the fact that it's 280hp...it's a "big" case for not a lot of money and made perfect sense when I started on my modular journey. For live use I now use a custom 6U 104 case with a lid which is much more robust but I get frustrated that I can't always get everything in which I need so I have to make specific choices (which is probably a good thing, to be fair). Thank you for your series of videos on Modular - it's been great hearing about your likes, dislikes and working methods...

@SyrusRayne Год назад

If you're not bothered by sliding nuts you should avoid threaded inserts as long as you can, because you'll never want to go back.

@hoagy_ytfc Год назад

Your desire to bump up every module tight against the next one contradicts your preference for fixed nuts though. With the latter, you’re impacted by the varying tolerances in module width that you mentioned earlier. I’d prefer fixed nuts too, but then might have to accept a small gap here and there.

@VisionsMusicGroup Год назад

While "contradicts" seems a strong label to use, I agree that not all manufacturers drill their holes the same. My solution? Group modules together that can compensate, thus still, minimal ugly gaps. Tada.

@cvzzimo Год назад

Thanks for the review. One last question: do you have issues with noise or hum on your audio out? thanks

@VisionsMusicGroup Год назад

I have no discernible hum (or hiss) from the Behringer System 100 modules (the 305 mixer, specifically) nor is my case generating any noise. The only time I get hiss is when output is turned up higher than necessary - as with the Befaco AC/DC and it's incredible gain boost.

@InFamousProductions 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the overview. I just ordered one and should have it in a few days so I can start my modular journey. I have a few standalone/modular like the west pest and a few others that I feel like I should rack them up. I have a Behringer K2 and can’t decide if I want to rack it up or not any advice on that one? Thanks for your video.

@VisionsMusicGroup 8 месяцев назад

Welcome to the rabbit hole! Me personally, I leave all my semi-modular stuff in their own cases (Moog Studio, etc) because they simply take up too much space in Eurorack cases. If you're at the beginning of this journey, you probably have room to rack mount it all and have fun. Just know, you'll need that space, soon 😁 (unless you have way more discipline and self-control than the rest of us). Enjoy your journey!!

@october_swimmer 9 месяцев назад

Great video. Have you experienced any noise issues? I’ve discovered that when I introduce eurorack modules (Black Hole DSP, Doepfer A138 amongst others) there is a lot of white noise emitted. I have my Pro 1 and DFAM powered by zones A and B respectively and they operate silently. Very odd and no response from Behringer!

@VisionsMusicGroup 9 месяцев назад

No abnormal noise here, except from noisy modules (like Golden Master). I've done most of these videos out of that Behringer case. I hope you find a solution!

@jpl999 Год назад

Hi, thanks for the overview of the Go Case. the specs info shows only enough clearance for 40mm deep modules on top row, but i see you have deeper ones fitted (the 305 being , according to its' specs, at 53mm) a few around 43 and 44mm. Did you have to move internal power supply around or did they "just" fit? Thanks again.

@VisionsMusicGroup Год назад

Hello! Thanks for watching. No, the left side is pretty deep (imo) both on top and bottom rows. The right side, the bottom is the same, but the top row does have the PSU components, and is a bit shallower. The 305 fits comfortably over the PSU with plenty of clearance. The areas that are troublesome (which I should have pointed out) are the very centers, where there is protruding plastic bits inside (maybe for stabilization of the grip handle?) preventing anything but the thinnest modules from being mounted at the exact center, but even then it's merely 3-4mm wide and not terrible. By thinnest, I mean things like Mutable Instruments-type thinness. I hope this helps.

@jpl999 Год назад

@@VisionsMusicGroup Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've just taken delivery of a secondhand Go Case, and it did seem that it would take deeper modules away from the PSU section C. I have a Neutron now installed bottom left, but i did try it top left and it would be fine there too, with plenty of clearance over the "protruding plastic bits". Good to know that the 305 fits top right. I had planned to put it bottom right when it arrives, but now looking at top left.. Better for my cable runs that way. Cheers.

@joshuakosloski6873 7 месяцев назад

I'm debating between this and a rackbrute right now. I can't find anything onlike but it mentions the width of the case is about 12.3 inches, when you have the case up on a stand does the width essentially stay the same or does it decrease quite a bit? I don't have much width on my desk so this is the only thing I'm worried about

@VisionsMusicGroup 7 месяцев назад

Sweetwater shows dimensions (12.2”H x 28.5”W x 4.4”D), and it is narrower with the stand kicked out than on it’s back, yes. You can also even stand this case upright entirely on it’s bottom edge, which would then make it around 5” thick. It’s not as stable as with the stand down, but it’s sturdy if you’re not actively plugging stuff in/out a lot.

@gavinmech7349 7 месяцев назад

I noticed you have the Behringer 305 EQ (53mm depth) in the upper section of the case. The manual suggests not exceeding 40mm in the upper section - the power unit resides there. Have you encountered any issues because of this?

@VisionsMusicGroup 7 месяцев назад

I have no issues with the 305 in that spot, no noise/buzzing, and nothing touching anyway. I have even experimented with deeper modules that almost touch, and haven't had heating or noise issues. As I type this I have a Doepfer A-135-2 mounted right over the power wire loops, and all is quiet.

It a guessing game to fill the case without gaps. I have only a tiny gap on the lower part but that is all, Not a big deal. Here is the modules i used. 112 DUAL VCO, 121 DUAL VCF, 130 DUAL VCA, 140 DUAL ENVELOPE LFO, 150 RING MOD NOISE & LFO, 172 PHASE SHIFTER, 173 QUAD GATE MULTIPLES, 182 SEQUENCER, 960 SEQ CONTROLLER, 962 SEQ SWITCH, 994 MULTIPLES, 2600-VCO, BRAINS, FOUR LFO, RADAR, SPACE FX & lastly to finish off .....FOUR PLAY & CM1A MIDI to CV Converter.

@wildphilgaming 4 месяца назад

You must have abused the hell out of your case. I have multiple B-Go cases and have not a single one of these issues outside of the power supply cable being short which is a huge complaint of mine too. Tempted to get some velcro for it and just velcro it to the back of the case. My case is not flexible at all, no light shining through and I have a literal open spot of 6hp where your's is on my bottom case. Maybe it's an error light? Did you drop it? There's no gaps on the edges either. I mean I don't slide my modules around....ever...not sure why you would especially if you hate sliding nuts (like I do, haven't bought rails cause they're damn expensive if replacing all my Go cases). Mine also doesn't have the gaps near any rails. If it weren't for the logo you wouldn't be able to even tell they were Go's Kinda weird. Did you possibly buy it used if you haven't been abusive to it? The only reason I'd EVER give up my Go's is to replace them with a nice 21u x 104hp wood case. But...until I can justify the $5,000 that'll cost me...I'll stick to my plastics lol. (also, I have NO word working ability at all. If someone in Louisiana can, let's talk.)

@VisionsMusicGroup 4 месяца назад

Nah no abuse here. I treat my modular equipment better than I do my automobile. I chalked it up to "plastic", and it is wobbly, but isn't a deal-breaker. Nothing in the GO case is a deal breaker, in fact. I've often considered buying more, but I'm brainstorming a wooden case as you mentioned. I happen to be crafty, just not good at it :)

@goonfish 4 месяца назад

To be fair, my TipTop Mantis that this was cloned from has gaps at the end of ots fixed rails depending on the module placement (all depends on whether the screw slots leave some room for error or not). I also had an issue powering up the case with some high current-draw modules, which caused the switching power supply to fail boot-up & repeatedly restart - this was with the older-style OEM TipTop cable which they have since changed for partly this reason, and couldn't get the case to work without a 2A+ supply, and I plan on going to 3A+. Also switching up your modular layout is commonplace, and until one decodes on specifically keeping a setup the way it is, for a specific reason, saying you don't understand why modules are being moved seems a bit bad faith to me... This stuff is ALWAYS evolving, and so is our patch thinking!

@VisionsMusicGroup 3 месяца назад

@@goonfish I do not recall where I said I "don't understand why modules are being moved". My cases are constantly evolving - with the exception of this very case, the Behringer GO case is my Behringer System 100 case specifically. As for the power brick, Behringer's is 5A, so this may be why I never experienced the power-on issues you mentioned.

@DP-hw9uq 4 месяца назад

What about the depth? It is known to be too shallow. The depth declared by Behringer must be wrong. It states only 40 mm in one of the rows... but I see you can fit in modules that are deeper than that... so what's the story there?

@VisionsMusicGroup 4 месяца назад

The only place I have found depth to be an issue is right above the power distribution section (top-right). I install my deeper modules to the top-left and have had minimal issues. One more hot spot for depth may be where the plastic molding is for the rear handle (dead center of top row). Otherwise, the GO case seems plenty deep for my usage.
