Awesome metal pedal!

This pedal is great for just jamming at the house! Awesome price and sound! A little noisy but that is to be expected for a distortion pedal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that metal sound.

It has so many different options for sounds

Cheap Thrills.

I had a Metal Zone back when I was young. I wanted to sound like Page Hamilton from Helmet. The MT-2 did me absolutely no favors. As the 90s passed and I grew into my guitar sound, I eventually pawned my MT-2 for peanuts in pawnshop credit. It's a pedal with a checkered past and divisive reputation. Now of course we know it's a much more usable into an amp's fx loop return but it's still not a widely loved pedal. I picked up the Behringer UM300 to satisfy my Metal Zone nostalgia. I don't know if there's munch internal difference in the Behringer's guts but used alone, in front of an amp, it sounds just like I remember the Mt-2 sounding. Swarm of caffeinated angry hornets, until you learn how to finesse the built-in EQ. However when I ran it into the mxr 6-band EQ I was able to get some really fun low end sounds even at bedroom volumes, weird harmonics, sustains & usable feedback. With a stock pickup, cheap clearance special Ibanez and the clean channel of a dusty little Line 6 combo I was getting some rad chugga-chugga and messing around in drop-D. Great fun. At this price I have zero regrets. Protip from a graying Gen Xer, just use the tips of a patch cable to simultaneously depress the battery cover release buttons on Behringer pedals. Cover will pop right off. Some people don't read directions and these are like a Boss pedal's dirty little cousin, a different animal. Both Boss' original and this UM300 have been used to great and surprising effect in death metal, lo-fi black metal, grindcore and other high-gain earbleed music. If you're not a tone snob and have some patience, there's a very fun and misunderstood pedal in the Behringer UM300. I spent more on fastfood lunch today than I did on the UM300. That must count for something.

Amazing Beginner Pedal

For the price of the pedal it sounds amazing. From my experience I haven't had any feedback issues, works with non-branded 9v power supply, and a immediate response. I was skeptical about this product for how much it costs, I'm glad I was skeptical for nothing.
