This is true. And Behringer does partly-own factories in China where they
make their own products to their own designs.

But Behringer also rebadges a lot of products from other factories in China,
such as their microphones. And plenty of other companies rebadge and
sell those products under other names too.

The Roland-look amp COULD have been a matter of Behringer copying the look
and feel of a Roland design. It could also have been some Chinese vendor
copying the look and feel of a Roland design and selling it to Behringer.
Or (and this is shockingly common) it could have been a manufacturer in
China contracted by Roland to make speakers for them who decided to make
the same speakers for Behringer too while they had the tooling in place.
