Great sound, very versatile, and an awesome deal
Highly recommended. A fantastic deal, providing far better tone and far more versatility than any comparably priced amp out there. The Behringer V-Tone GM108 is an analog modeling amp that essentially appears to be a reverb-less copy of Tech 21's great line of Trademark amplifiers. Like the Tech 21 amps, this amp has three voicing switches (to control the amp, mod, and speaker settings), which, along with the 3-band EQ and drive control, provide great versatility.
In addition to lacking reverb (a feature which I was afraid I'd miss, but which really isn't necessary given the great tone this amp is capable of), the Behringer probably won't provide the kind of pristine direct recording sound quality of which the Tech 21 amps are capable, but it can probably come pretty close. I only use it at home for practice and as something I can take to jams without worrying about it getting damaged, lost, or stolen, and for those purposes it's fantastic, esp. as it cost only $60, as opposed to $300 for my Tech 21 Trademark 30 (which admittedly is 30 watts, whereas this Behringer only pumps out 15).
I shopped around and tried out amps costing up to twice the amount I ultimately paid for this Behringer and none of them, including the Vox Pathfinder, Fender Frontman, Roland Cube, and various low-end Peavey and Crate amps, could hold a candle to it, and many of those cost far more for cheap-sounding tone and a much more limited set of features. I bought this amp unplayed and sight unseen based on other reviews I had read and on my ownership of Tech 21 products, and I have absolutely no regrets.

Great amp
I have had this amp for two years, and it still makes the same great sound it did when I got it out of the box. At first glance this amp might seem like a little amp that can't really do much, and maybe you'll buy it for your daughter or something. Well this amp is more than that. 15W? This thing shakes the windows and a few things fell off of the wall. The distortion sounds it produces are really nice, and you can get it to make pretty much any sound. I would recommend this amp for new players and for experienced players alike. You simply cannot go wrong here.

A Great Practice Amp
My friend owns this amp, and I have played it. It gives off a pretty good sound for 15w, and it does get quite loud. The treble is excellent for an amp of its price range. Distorted, it does not sound the best, but it is good for practice. If you're just at home playing by yourself, this is the amp to get.

Good Deal
This amp (Behringer V-Tone GM108 15W Modeling Guitar Combo Amp) is pretty cool for it's price. The combinations of amp models and tones are almost endless. It has a 8" speaker which is great for practice or recording, can really pack a punch. Its a good size, great for travel, and I always get complements on how good it sounds for it's size. I would never go to a band practice without it.

AMAZING FIRST AMP!
Okay well, i'm just a beginner but dream of becoming a great musician one day. I Love music more than anything. When i first got my starter pack it came with this exact amp. and wowwww was i shocked. i thought it would turn out to be a piece of shit since its not alot of money. but i was way wrong man. This amp is an amazing starter amp its really really loud haha. but hey, it gets a great sound and i really love it. except that fact that my parents sometimes yell at me for it... but i'f you want a clean, great sounding first amp to start out with . this is the one. except i dont know if u can do special features on it.. i don't know how to yet but yeah lol.
all in all.
