Behringer UM300 5-stars Reviews

Great metal sound.

The pedal is really good if you know how to use it well, if you don't on the other hand. You will get the single most ear killing noise to ever come out of a pedal. The features are great and are easy to use.

Amassing sound

I really like this pedal.Sparking ,crunchy sound,to heavy distortion.Best for the money

Great little thing!

Especially if you are metalhead on a tight budget.

I would consider buying this thing the second after a guitar.

Great Metal

I ordered this for my little metal son as a gift. It plays beyond its worth! Tho only thing is that its a plastic case, but it doesn't affect anything so it's ok.

Great little inexpensive foot pedal!

I definetly would buy it again if I had to!

This is just amazing pedal for meaty solo/lead line ;))))))) Can recommend to anyone who wants meaty distortion for 30 euro!!!!

Great sound

awesome heavy sound and great tones! No problem with the plastic housing.

Does the job

This pedal is supposed to be an exact Metal Zone copy. It does sound like one. Plastic enclosure and plastic jacks are definitelly not optimal but you get what you pay for - I wouldn't gig with it but for home use I don't think it will break.

Gets you into a - metal zone -

See what I did there? ;) Great pedal. Gotta love the color, too.

Very good Metal Zone copy

Like other affordable Behringers pedals, it is plastic housing.

The knobs are also plastic and stiff, but there is a lot of them so the pedal is very tweakable.

Delivers great metal tones for the price.

effect pedal

verry good quality,sound and price!

Outstanding value for money great sounding pedal.

The tones you can get out of this pedal are much better than what I expected!

Amazing Cost-Effective Pedal

I bought it as a replacement for my boss metal core pedal as I needed a quick cheap replacement to tour with. Has good or even better sound when used in an fx loop. 6 Knobs to ensure great tone and perfect high gain distortion which most amps from fender or yamaha are unable to do properly.

Amazing piece for its price

pros:

Very very tweak-able. Put a drive and some compression before and it will deliver fairly good metal tones.

cons:

There are endless ways of dialing the nobs wrong :) so be patient.

If you are expecting to see the 'it's made of plastic' here in the cons let me tell you that it doesn't bother me at all. For it's price it's still a great product. And if you are really a beast and brake it, just buy another one and it's still a good deal.

Cost effective Boss Metal Zone

It sounds exactly as the Boss Metal Zone. I have analised the circuits of both pedals and they are the same (maybe with cheaper components and cheaper mechanical chassis). It can be seen as less robust due to the materials, but it is lighter (for me, an adventage). I have used it frequently and nothing has failed.

This little pedal however plasticky it may feel to the touch has a lot of grit. It delivers a highly distorted sound with a lot of heavy metal punch and attitude for it's price tag.

For me, being a producer and session percussionist occasionally laying down a guitar line in a production, buying into the Behringer stomp box range makes a lot of sense both soundwise and when considering the cost/benefit aspects of it.

Great stuff cheap!!

Plastic?

Unless you want to jump on your pedals or you kick them or play soccer with them, AND EVEN THOUGH i believe this pedal will resist the stomps you might give it.

Yes, its made of plastic. A hard one though.

No, it does not hiss in normal parameters.

If you use it with an amp that has gain and distortion already and you crank the distortion on your pedal it might throw some noises, but this is normal on any pedal. You just have to use it as a normal pedal.

The output and the wide range of tones and distortions that you can get (not even mentioning that the sustain its PRETTY SOLID) makes this pedal perfect for some metalcore/deathmetal/deathcore and if tweaked correctly for even rock music. (Trashmetal will always be possible cracking everything up)

Nothing to envy to other distortion pedals like MZ ;)

Recommended.

A good one

Affordable and no complains about quality, I guess for domestic use is surely enough. I used this with a guitar and with a keyboard.

Highly customisable, great sounds!

Customisable, and great sounds! With the controls and frequency adjustment you can customise the sound of the pedal, to your desire.

Made of plastic it is, but never mind because it feels solid and works very well.

Great souns made by this pedal!!! Together with the Bugera T50 Infinium, they form an explosive combination.

Highly recommended, for the price. You can't go wrong.

I have a BOSS DS1, and this one sounds better, to my taste.

A fantastic pedal for the price

I was a little skeptical of this pedal when I ordered it, but was positively surprised as soon as I used it.

It can really turn any guitar into a metal ax. There are plenty of adjustments to choose how much distortion you want and you can also adjust the sound frequency at any level - low, mid, high.

Keep in mind that this is a very affordable pedal, so don't expect it to be perfect. Sound can be a little distorted and you can get some unwanted noise with it. But overall I highly recommend it. This pedal is lots of fun and great for home use.
