Episode Synopsis

You think you’ve seen it all? Think again. A Behringer guitar pedal that costs less than a tank of gas is being sold for THOUSANDS online, and the reason will make your head explode. Scalpers are banking on a wild, unproven rumor of a "lawsuit" that supposedly makes this Klon Centaur clone an instant collectible. The Avonetics community is on fire, torn between gut-busting laughter at the sheer greed and genuine shock at anyone falling for this scam. What these flippers conveniently forget is that Behringer isn't some garage operation; they're a colossal force in pro audio, making the mixers and synths your favorite artists probably use. But here’s the kicker these sellers pray you never learn: in a blind shootout, the sonic difference between the god-tier original and this budget clone is practically ZERO. You're not paying for superior tone—you're paying for a myth. It’s the biggest hype bubble in the gear world, and we’re watching to see when it finally pops.
