Behringer TM300 Tube Amp Modeler Pedal Reviews

Sounds amazing! and also got some candy for "new gear day!" thanks sweetwater

I ordered this a couple days ago, as an impulse buy when I bought a Blackstar Debut 50r. The pedal showed up today, and I tried it out with my champ 20 amp (the Blackstar isn't here yet) and it sounds amazing. I love this pedal, and I can't wait to play it through my new amp

My wife won't let me get a guitar amp. She says "I have enough speakers". I already have a PA system with 2 12 inch speakers, and 2 monitors with dual 10 inch speakers in them, a bass amp, and an acoustic amp. But I wanna play some classic rock guitar!

So I got this. I plug this directly into my Kustom PA KPX210A 100W Dual 10" Powered Monitor and boom it sounds like a legit amp now!

It doesn't have the cleanest clean tones. If I want super super super clean refined tones for reggae for example, I may have to buy a cheap 7 band EQ and go direct. But this pedal has got that great classic rock tube amp sound, for me to play along with my favorite classic rock tunes.

Fender, tweed, Marshall & Mesa boogie amp simulator and one pedal. I can get a clean sound, a slight break up that gets a little bit dirty if I dig in with my pic.. It reacts well to an overdrive pedal. Quite similar to a tube amp. You can spend a bunch more money but it's really not needed. This goes last in the chain and is always on. So the plastic case will never be an issue. If you're looking to leave your amp at home this little unit will help you out. I am loving today's technology. Where are you don't need an amp because of the modeling. And you don't need monitors because of IEMs. Just smart!

Unbeatable price vs performance
sounds great,
about 85% the same what is cloned from.
the original; get cleaner, better noise floor
it does benefit from slightly elevated power supply voltages "wink"

For those of you tired of carrying a heavy tube amp to practice or tired of practicing at home loud, disturbing everyone's peace in the house, well look no more. The Beringer TM300 is the tube amp modeler for you. I used to connect my stomp to my D'ville and got great sound. But carrying a D'ville has its challenges. Now I hooked my stomp HX to the TM300 and from there to the presonus mixer and no need to adjust the mixer once you found your TM300 properly. I have not tried it in a sizeable venue but, that will come soon enough. For now I am tickled to death with this pedal. I am a picky player. Been playing shows all my life. I am so far satisfied with the quality of the sound, I got no buzzing, humming, etc,none. Of course all my guitars have noiseless pickups, but so far nada. I gave it 5 stars because I don't think you'll ever find a pedal like this for the money. Now, I have to see how long it lasts.

It takes a minute to get it dialed in but when gigging with a good PA nobody, not even the sound man could hear the difference. The only people who would complain are maybe other guitarists in the crowd. Great for an emergency back up amp solution. Sounds great and fits in my guitar case. Love love love this pedal.

This thing is an absolute beast. Amp-wise, I'm pretty much a Fender guy. This pedal makes my little 5 watt champ clone sound like a full wall of Marshalls. I've been grinning since I stepped on this pedal. Lots of options, endless sustain, the mic placement switch is profound. I think this pedal is modeled off the Sansamp? It's like a 225$ pedal. At 30 bucks, this pedal is a gift you can't afford to not give yourself. It's my second Behringer pedal, the JHS guy, (Josh?) reviewed a bunch of them, He said the trem pedal is identical to it's Boss inspiration in sound and circuit "Buy it". I did and it's awesome. Plastic box,.. only negative I can think of. It's good hard plastic??/. This plastic box I think would be one of my favorite pedals even if I paid 5 times the $$. Buy it. No possible way of going wrong.

I am a worship guitarist, I have been playing "Worship" music for nearly 3 years. Let me say this pedal is for its price its awesome to go direct in! At my church I use my VOX AC15, but it started been a hassle when I started getting gigs outside of my church, I wish I would of came across this pedal sooner! Just used it yesterday during practice let me tell you it sounded so clean! Just get it! Great clean sound and edge of break up tone, better than my Moore radar!

Clean/OD/Distortion? Amps? - Got 3 Amps here. Whether you play Metal, Rock, Jazz, Blues, or country, this thing sings. I owned Bogna, and Electro-Harmonix OD/Distortion pedals. But TM300 is my go-to pedal.

It won't disappoint. Save $. Thanks, Matt C., my sale engineer.

Pretty sure you will be searching for a long time to find a better pedal for $.... I was so impressed that I ordered a second one. These piggies offer a WIDE range of tones and is not at all a noisy compared to similar pedals.

This is a great practice tool, a broad range of tones can be achieved by experimenting with the knob settings. The plastic construction may appear to be an issue but so far has held-up to the cat`s antics ! For the price this unit is a great addition or perhaps to someone just starting their guitar journey a good and simple means to sound tone exploration. Yes it can be critiqued however cast aside high $ snobbery, plug it in and just play !

This pedal is all the distortion you will ever need. No stacking necessary.Fender, Marshall, and Mesa, all right at your feet! Best metal for the money!

Basically adds a very decent channel to any Amp. Makes my high end marshal Jcm deliver a blues fender sound when called for. Don't expect it to do everything. The beauty of having lots of digital options is finding just that one that you need. And if your needs change, it's probably in there. Extra channel for the price of a burger meal. I have lots of berhinger pedals. They are sturdy and solid.

These work fantastic for the boss Katana Mk II, because you can dial in a thicker sound. If you blend into the boost/overdrive settings on that amp, any lack of depth or bass resonance is handled quite well.
You can leave boost and drive off that amp and use just this pedal and it will do fine, also, for a rock/garage rock and tube amp sound.


It helps overcome that 'fizziness' that may be a lackluster kind of sound for some solid state amps.
I like this quite a lot.
It's very affordable.
It gets very distorted very quickly, however, as in the drive settings will take off into metal territory even at the lowest turn of the drive knob.
I play more rockabilly, rock'n'roll and kind of blues and alternative rock driven guitar using this.
So I am set well with the drive dial down.
For everyone that sneers at behringer pedals, I really havent had any complaints using any of them and never whomp down or jumpdive onto the pedals because I don't need to.
I've used their analog delay pedal and also the tremolo pedal and really enjoy them. Years of use with those helped me trust to trying this out.

This is a fun pedal. Maybe you'd wish to try this out and then get a higher end pedal. I'm satisfied with this one and sticking with it, however. Some of the 'california' sound and also black sabaath-tome sounds you can get are very fun. Especially for playing lead.
There's quite a bit of options here. And I was surprised by all the good reviews but they were right about the number of sounds you can explore.
I really think the tweed setting it lacking compared to the other two, though, so I don't use that. The marshall sound and "california" sounds are where I enjoy getting tones from on here.
I dont care that the pedal looks like a happy meal toy.
If you rely on batteries for your pedal, however, these will eat them up. If you're fine running from an outlet and looking to fatten up a solid state amp I really don't think it'd hurt to try one of these and you might have fun.

This pedal is great for solid state amps really sounds great, I can't believe how affordable it was.

This pedal is a MUST BUY. 3 amp models, 3 mic placements, 3 cabinets Put your amp on clean channel, turn to amp 2 mic placement 2nd position, cabs 2nd position, base at 4PM, mids at 10 AM, and treble at 5PM, HELLO PLEXI STACK! Right down to the feedback, FREAKING AWESOME! 27 different options on this pedal, and tone controls

I bought one of those super highly hyped $250 15 watt tube amps that you see every day on You Tube. No matter how I fiddled with the dials I just couldn't get a decent tone. I was actually ready to deep six it into the back of my closet. On a whim I took out the TM 300 I hadn't used in a while. It was like magic. The amp went from totally uninspiring to sounding like an actual two thousand dollar Fender Twin Reverb. Amazing! A one thousand percent improvement. The other two models are decent but its the Tweed that moves me.

This Guitar Tube Amp Modeler Pedal has to be one of the most affordable yet versatile products in recent years. If a Clean Tone with an Analog Tube bite is what you need, look no further. Into heavy Tube-Saturated Overdrive? The TM300 most likely will not disappoint! Pairing the TM300 to the Behringer VD400 Vintage Delay Pedal is a great match. Let's say that you or a band member wants to plug theor Electric Guitar straight into a PA System. Normally, the Electric Guitar would sound flat and lifeless. However, running the Electris Guitar through the TM300 Pedal will liven up the tone and create a sense that the Guitar is plugged into a real Tube Amplifier. If you use a Delay Pedal in tandem with the TM300, I have found that the best sound is achieved by the following: Hook Guitar to the Delay Pedal; patch a cable from Delay Pedal to the TM300; and then patch a cable from the TM300 to your Amplifier or PA System. The TM300 runs on either Accessory Power Adapter or 9 Volt Battery. Changing the Battery from the top up under the Foot-Pedal is simple.

I hope this review helps.

This is my 4th attempt trying to find a pedal that would bring me close to that cranked Marshall "brown" noise from the 80's hair scene. The other ones I tried were pretty pricey 'boutique' class ones. Of those, 2 were 'close but no cigar', and the 3rd was pretty much 'it' but had a lot of hissing noise, which the noise gate took care of, but it sapped too much of the liveliness and organicness out. Basically the sound envelope, particularly sustain, was lousy after applying the noise gate.

Your mileage may vary of course, but this gets me closer than any of those pedals, and is about 1/8th the price. I haven't tested it extensively on any of the other settings so can't comment much beyond getting that brown sound, but that's what I bought it for, and I love it for that. Of course I'm running it through a Marshall (clean channel) and a Celestion V30, so I'm sure that helps get me there. A different amp/speaker combo might give you different results.

It's tight, articulate, and not too noisy (aside from the noise you want).

For the price it's a winner IMO. Love it!

This pedal is awesome sounding. Rockabilly

I bought this pedal for travel to accompany an analog delay and a board mount nano power amp. I am going to order another just in case. I just wish it was in a metal box. But for the price, I'll just shut up. So worth the price.

This stomp is a great way to expand the versatility of your solid state amp.

So affordable, it's practically free!

I'm a simple man. this suits me...It's just the sound that I like..(emphasis on crunch, not distortion) it's not a tank, but for the price, I'm willing to treat it with a little bit of tlc. Battery life seems fine, but I usually use a generic 9V -tip wall wart.

Lots of tone options from Fender, Marshall to Mesa Boogie

Beats all the Katana MK2 onboard amp sounds, even the custom/sneaky ones. Allows guitar volume knob to get clean or broken-up sound. And the price is amazing!

For the price I paid for this pedal, I'd say it was worth and more. I love it.

Great pedal for revoicing a boring solid-state amp or filling out the sound of a turned down quiet tube amp. Get 2 to run in stereo with the Marshall & Mesa modes for heavy stereo perfection. The EQ is active with plenty of sweep to adjust for plugging into effects return or the front end of your amp. Takes pedals well.
As a DI it benefits from using an additional stand alone speaker sim. It's kinda brittle and "direct sounding" otherwise. The mic switch is very useful to fine tune your tone. This is an 99% always on pedal for my applications.

I bought this pedal to use direct to board if my Mesa TA-30 ever goes out on a gig. I put it at the end of a Chandler tube driver and Boss compressor. A simple line out to the board if I have an amp failure. But since it sits on my pedal board, I tried it as a super overdrive to the Mesa (if I ever need that playing classic rock) and with some tweaking it's pretty usable on that function.

I am a lifelong Zoom multi effects guy, until i saw this pedal for $ at Sweetwater and figured what the heck, for that price you can't go wrong and return it for a refund if i didn't like it. Plugged it in and I was hooked! Loved it so much i bought the behringer gdi21 for the direct line in mode, loved it too, i am hooked on behringer pedals, don't get me wrong i still love zoom multi effects for live gigs, but for every home and rehearsal, nothing's beats Behringer for the price!

Unless you're going to play your *famous amp simulator* in some harsh conditions, buy this and save $

I use it in my home studio as an amp-cab sim into my DAW and it is *gorgeous*.

If anything it has too much gain!

Great pedal, really.

It does it all with many options. This is not for clean sounds even in clean mode. The tweed will give you the best for that but still a little dirty. I like cntr on cln with calif and a little drive for great crunch tones. Then hot for full saturation. These actually are louder in the cln setting which is strange so I run two one for a crunch sound and one for full od/dis. These have a very similar sound to the old GMX amps they made back in the day. Well worth the price

Honestly can't believe this pedal was under $. I have an EVH 15 watt head, which I love when I'm playing that style of music. But I was dangerously close to buying a tweed-style Fender amp because I can't seem to get that type of sound out of the EVH. As I was window-shopping online, I ran into this Behringer Tube Amp Modeler pedal and started to read the reviews and watch videos of it, all of which are incredibly positive. For a mere $ investment, I saved thousands of dollars I would've put towards the three different types of amps this pedal models. I can't believe how good all three models sound with my EVH amp. I plugged it into the amp via the effects loop and was impressed at how easy it is to find the sounds I've been looking for. It even works great on the blue overdrive channel and doesn't need to only be run on a clean channel. I can't recommend this pedal enough and still can't believe the world of sounds it's now opened up on my rig. I've not been this excited to use my system since I originally bought it.

Nice range of options with one pedal. Good variety of sounds available.

I bought it just to see if I could improve my direct in sound. It did that. Then I tried using it in front of my Pod HD500 amp sims to give them some character. It did that. Then I used it after my fuzz pedal to bring it under control a little. It did that.

This is one of those swiss army knife pedals everyone should have around.

I have an HX Stomp I use with impulse responses for my acoustic guitars, and as my amp modeler plus effects for electric guitar. The Stomp seems pretty sturdy but I wanted a backup that I could leave in my gig bag that runs off a battery and in a pinch does everything I need.

With my humbucking electric, the default gain (drive) is pretty high. I am using the tweed and lowest gain settings with no microphone modeling and backing "drive" down pretty low. I dial in some light overdrive with my guitar's volume railed and then back off the guitar's volume for clean rhythm. Simple and sounds great. I am finding it's distortion as pleasing to my ear as anything I can do with the Stomp.

With active bypass I was hoping this would also serve as buffer for the passive soundboard transducer in my acoustics so that I could plug into the 10K ohm line level input that the Stomp normally drives (the SBT dies completely into that low impedance). The shock was not that bypass worked perfectly as desired, but engaging the amp model (same settings with less drive and backing down the treble setting), made a nice improvement in the acoustic tone rounding off some of the piezo "quackie" high end. Not quite in the same league as the custom IR on the Stomp, but really nice sounding.

The final output of the pedal is quite strong and if you need to get up to line levels from instrument levels, it has loads of output level to spare.

Decided for the money I'd take a chance on this pedal. Glad I did. It sounds great. Easy interface, not too noisy and does a great job of adding that tube gain to my sound. For the money, totally worth it and more.

Having heard some of my friend's modeling amps, I was expecting this to sound "OK". I was wrong: this is amazing, especially for the price I paid. I especially love the dual rectifier sound of the 'Calif" mode. Be sure to put it in the effects loop for best results. If I have to say anything negative, its that the "British" sound is a bit fizzy, but adjusting the EQ helps. Breathed new life into my Orange solid state.

Every positive review on the TM300 is absolutely spot-on. I play guitar in stereo so I needed two of these pedals. I run my mono effects - acoustic simulator, reverb, synth pedal ect. - into a stereo delay pedal and from the stereo delay pedal into two TM300's, one for each of the two stereo outputs.

From the first chord I played through the two TM300' they sounded WAY BETTER than my expensive rack-mounted modeler. My system consists of my effects pedals, my two TM300's and a pair of powered 8-inch studio monitors. Yes, I own a tube amp and a solid state amp but this new set-up is WAY BETTER. I'm inspired to create new original music IN STEREO with simple equipment that sounds great.

*Tip : if you're not playing guitar in stereo you're only having half the fun!

At this price, u can buy 3! If you are starting a new pedalboard that IS what i suggest! Then you can have a Marshall, Fender & Mesa at the touch of a foot without tinkering live. For starters, you aren't hearing what this pedal SHOULD sound like if you didn't put it into the return of your amp effects loop. It's designed for that purpose. If you're running it into your amps guitar input and preamping your pre amp, it's not gonna sound that good. I was able to get SRV (fender-ish), AC/DC (Marshall-ish), and Dual Rec (MESA) chug easily and quickly with a Telecaster! VERY versitile and usable tones. Very impressed at 3x times the price! Kudos.

If you want better connectivity spemd the extra 5 bucks and get one designed for live use. It has a speakon connector and ground lift. The caveat? You Must Run It Through A Power Amp or an Effects Loop Return! Because it's a pre-amp and you dont want to run a preamp into your amps preamp. If you do so you nullify the beautiful sounds these gadgets produce! It's noce to have a Fender and a Marshall you can hold in your hand. juries out on the California modeling but it's new and I need to tinker with it.

I use this pedal after black star (lt) distortion pedal .. Sound perfect.. That's why i m here..

This thing is amazing!

This thing rocks. I use it at church on the fender (tweed) classic clean and it sounds like a real amp with a good mic coming through. I run a drive pedal and delay into it and boom its awesome. Its built like a plastic tank. The Marshall and Mesa sounds are great too. Just not what I need. as a matter of fact I think this is one of the best pedals behringer makes.

The Behringer Amp Modeler is the best $ I've spent! Simplified my life. If you like a clean tweed non-distorted tube sound, that pedal has it. You can achieve a really nice tube-saturated tone very similar to 5-15 watt amp like Fender Blues Jr. or Supro Delta without an amp! Just use the default tweed "Clean" "Classic" setting and set the 2 tone controls to about halfway or less. I don't have a comment about the other options. I have purchased a few other Behringer products but they were lightweight and not great products. The TM300 is still lightweight (not metal housing) but really great sound for my needs. It's so cheap I'll just buy an extra to have on hand,

Since I play with a group at low stage volume and everything goes through the board to house and the monitor systems, I don't have to have an amp, so now I'm converting to going direct for my Tele, which is a nice advantage. The problem with tube amps is that tone is volume-dependent so dialing in just the right tone is different for different volume situations/venues. With the TM300 pedal, I can keep consistent tone for all situations--practice and performance at all venues. I put away my pedal board and amp and I am just using a Line 6 stompbox to the Behringer Tub Amp Modeler to volume pedal to direct box. Simple, consistent, less hassle.

Look, if you want pure tube sounds, get yourself a tube amp, cabinet, and a loaded pedal board (and lots of volume and money)to dial in whatever sound you're looking for . However, if you are looking for just a little kick in the tone with just a touch of break up when you dig in, this is for you--and you won't have to go into debt doing it. It's got decent features with three separate amp models (tweed, Brit, and Calif), as well as some mods and mic positions. I run clean tweed center with my amp's (Boss Katana 50) delay and reverb, and I love the big warm tones I get. I leave it on and run some fuzz on lead, which gives just enough overdrive and crunch for me. I do wish there was a way to switch amps with a stomp instead of a switch, but other than that, this thing is a steal.

Not "for the price", it just sounds good period :o It's dead quiet unless you're daisy chaining 4+ pedals and even then it's low noise. Plenty of volume and gain on tap, EQ has plenty of range. If I could change one thing it'd be to have a more "medium" gain amp. It's got clean, dirty, and very dirty.

I bought one of these pedals to plug into the cheap, solid-state practice amp I keep under my desk at work. If put the amp on a clean tone and use the pedal, I can actually get a pretty nice, slightly overdriven sound of it (and not have to use the amp's awful overdrive). I'm sure the pedal will sound even better as a direct in. Also, given the price, how can you go wrong?

It's amazing how many things you can do with this pedal. For me plugging into my Zoom multi track, you lose the sound and gain of the amp, and you can get that and more without having to set up a condenser mic in front of your amp. Also makes for a great way to try out and experiment with Overdrive/Boost pedals if you have a small solid state practice amp and don't want to break out the heavier and louder Tube amp with its two dirt channels Brit and Cali. It can also be good as a hack for an effects loop since whatever is chained after are overlaying over a clean signal. It makes for a decent overdrive pedal on its own since you can adjust the clean tweed as well with gain, low, high, level, etc.

The only two minor problems I have is that there is no D.I. Out (not sure if the pedal this is supposed to be a clone of had it either, so it's not a huge thing). Second is the construction, since it's made out of cheap plastic, there are many times I fear even pressing down too hard with my hands it might break (it squeaks when I put pressure). But hey, you can't complain about the price. You get bang for your buck for the amount of utility given.

Once I figured out where to put this in my chain, it is awsome. all kinds of tones out of this box. worth a try for short money.

Does Nirvana In Eutero sound pretty darn good if you add a tiny bit if reverb . It sounds a lot like those old Sans Amp pedals from the 90s. It has a nice crunch too it and almost a little fuzz, great break up. It squeaks feedback at high settings but you can roll it back and get some nice bluesy tones too .

This is a clean, overdrive and distortion pedals packed into one unit. I use it a bit like a pre-amp, and connect a headphone amp in the output of this pedal so I can practice with headphones. The tweed amp option gives a clean tone, but it gets into overdrive territory easily with the drive set to hi, or with the mod hi gain, or hot. The Brit and Calif amp options start a bit dirty, and playing with the drive knob the sounds go from overdriven to hi gain distortion. The mic option controls the mids, and the preferred setting is the center, which gives a mid punch. All knobs have a wide range. My favorite setting is the mic=center, mod=hi g, amp=brit, with not a lot of drive, just enough to distort. The pedal is not very noisy if you keep the drive under control, and as I said all knobs have a wide range. I also have a Joyo UZI, which is a decent distortion pedal, and this Behringer can reproduce a similar distortion.

Great as a just model for an amp and it's a great overdriven and distorted tone. When using it as an amp with humbuckers is a tough heavy overdrive but it's still amazing in any way you use it.

...I like the Tweed best, because you can go from perfectly clean to overdrive- the Brit and Calif have a lot of drive to begin with, if you like that. The tweed does give the guitar a genuine Fender -like sound (I know because I own some very nice Fender amps), good tone controls that do quite a lot, a quiet pedal (little detectable noise, at least on Tweed). A real bargain for anyone... The mic placement selection does indeed impart tonal changes resembling mic changes and placement. At this price, you simply can't go wrong. People complain about battery changes, but that's not a major deal, but yeah, could be easier. Heavy duty plastic, but you would in fact need to hammer it to damage it.

I originally purchased this pedal to use through a DI box into a PA system for a live direct rig. I got curious and connected it to my Vypyr 30 modeling amp on a Twin Reverb preset and dialed in a hi-gain British tone on the Behringer pedal. I was blown away! The effects built into the amp didn't come close to the sweet, warm, tube-type tone that the TM300 delivered. Would definitely recommend. I think Behringer is recovering well from their dark years of having a bad name. Their new gear is definitely "it!"

Got this little pedal early this week and used it at a competition this past weekend. Made my little Hohner acoustic sound like a Strat through a really hot tube amp. The tweed setting isn't as hot as I expected (I used to own a 57' Champ) but the other two channels have as much heat as anyone would need and then some. Very tube-like tones and a wide variety of sounds. Overall a 4.5 but for value - easily a 5.

I run guitars DI into a PA along with keys and vox for solo gigs, and this unit offers some very inexpensive EQ and sweetness to clean tones with just a touch of gain. Certainly not the best, and something I will replace eventually, but for now it does what I need at a fraction of the price of anything else. 50~70% the quality @ 5~20% the price of other tube preamps or amp/cabinet sims, a decent bargain.

This arrived in record time thanks to Sweetwater's fantastic service. I really like the tones but it isn't easy going from a clean sound to an overdrive sound without having to readjust ALL the settings. The output/volume differs so greatly. I basically found an overdriven sound I liked, snapped a pic and then did the same for the clean sound. Kind of a pain but being so inexpensive, I really can't complain.

Thanks to Drew Foster for helping me with pedal placement!

So... I've done a handful of gigs with this pedal now after receiving it three months ago. I always use the tweed amp mode with the ribbon mic. Really nice low end, and breaks up warmly. I'll be honest: for $ this is better than it should be. If you're needing an amp sim pedal but can't afford a higher end option, this is a good choice. HOWEVER, beware the TM300 is noisy. I find that even running through a Radial ProDI with the ground lift button engaged, all power supplies on separate circuits, playing through a humbucker guitar, it adds an unnecessary amount of noise that sounds electrical. I really don't like that. That could be user error, but I find that when I remove the pedal from my chain, the noise goes away. So I would suggest using a noise gate if you're going to use the TM300. This could be a serious draw back if you gig at a church or in a cleaner situation.

I absolutely don't care about cosmetics. But some people do, so I want to mention that the pedal feels very cheap (what do you expect for $??) Meaning, the knobs are tiny and they turn very tightly. It doesn't feel like a Boss pedal when you step on it. It feels like you could break it easily.

So my verdict is, for $ this is worth a try! If you're expecting a Strymon Iridium, UA Dream '65, or Walrus ACS1 you are mistaken. But for its price, this is a decent amp sim pedal.

Dirt cheap, several different sounds. Tone shaping is somewhat limited, footswitch is notoriously fragile, and isn't the best sounding pedal. But for a little over twenty bucks, you won't find a pedal that has anywhere near the variety and adjustability as this.

This pedal doesn't have a ton of options but the clean sound works pretty well for feeding the guitar into the MPC for a strong signal. I like the "dirty sound" of it for creating lo-fi guitar riffs. For the price, there's no reason to not add it to the stable of pedals.

Not being a pedal guy EVER I decided to give a few a shot when Behringer had a price promo on these.
I ended up ordering 5 different pedals and plug in power supplies as these will eat batteries. Rob helped me pick the correct power supply for the 5 pedals connected together. Having 2 smaller Fender Solid State amps in the Bedroom and Den I figured these Tube Modelers would be a rocking' addition to them, I was right however they ended up on my Hot Rod Deluxe 3 mainly due to the TWEED setting. So I ordered another Tube Modeler for the Den amp (Champion 110) with it's 12 inch extension speaker cabinet. The three tube type settings TWEED, CALI & BRIT are all fun as well as the other settings for Clean , Hi Gain and Hot etc. all make this a cool versatile and fun pedal .

Great pedal, sounds great. Be sure to pick up a power supply as trying to put a battery in one of these is about as fun as getting sand in your shorts.

Never having much used a pedal before except yes an original 1976 TS808 that I had picked up new when I bought me trusty olde Tele-deluxe the same year. I later sold the TS808 after just a few hours of use. ( I was an acoustic guy ). I decided to try out a few pedals since I had moved into the category of a TUBE amp and renewed my dreams of being the electric axe man in the last year having picked up a minty Hot Rod Deluxe 3 just before the preventative measures to stop the spread of the virus began. I had read in the online version of one of the guitarzines that Behringer had dropped prices to 19 bucks on pedals so I ventured out into the pedal pool and ordered 4 from Sweetwater. They were sold out so they went on backorder. As a possessor of the trusty olde Champion 110 solid state amp from the late 90's as well as a Bronco SS amp in a Tweed suit I decided to give this Behringer TM300 Tube Modeler a try out. All the pedals that I picked up have found places to call home. This one likes it with the little Bronco, kicking it up a notch or two with the Tweed / Brit and California sounds it offers up. It's just plain fun. I set it and forget it then set and forget it again. The Vintage Delay VD400 has set up housekeeping with the Champion 110 and the Tube modeler comes around as well here. The OD likes it with the Hot Rod Deluxe but I think I was envisioning a distortion pedal instead of the Overdrive. The only real issue I have had is with the battery thang, not so much the ubiquitous notice of the battery placement but also that it will eat your battery and right quick if the instrument cable is not removed from the input as well as clicking off the foot switch..even with the battery light off it will drain the power if the cable is left in. Best to opt for the PSU-SB 9v Power Adapter.

I'm a worship leader and I purchased this pedal to use at church for a few reasons.
1. I'm not going to haul my Princeton or AC10 back and forth. I use both if them at home on occasion for recording, and that's where they will stay.
2. I've tried the Strymon Iridium, and it is better. It also has much more headroom. But I'm not spending $... just for a pedal to use at church, and I refuse to use church funds to pay for something the church doesn't need.
3. This thing is $... and it does the job well. It has almost no headroom, though. If you want a clean sound, you need to have it on the Fender model and leave the gain around 9 o'clock. Both the Vox and Marshall settings have no clean sound. The Fender also breaks up relatively early if you're using a humbucker. So, keep the gain at 9 or so and you'll be fine.

I've been one of those guys refusing to give Behringer a chance; I always thought it's too cheap to be decent....but decided I could gamble $... on this. If you want to stop reading now, the short story is I'm about to buy a second one.
I really like the "tweed" clean tones and "Cali" hot gain sounds. Didn't really get much (for my taste) out of the "Brit" option. This is a pretty accurate representation (I stop short of saying clone) of the SansAmp GT2...
Word of use: THIS IS NOT A DISTORTION PEDAL. I've seen some reviews saying how bad of a "distortion" pedal this is. Well, duh. It's a pre-amp. Plug it in to a power amp or the effects return of your amp to bypass the current pre-amp only using the power amp for amplification; the pedal provides the tone/eq. Stacking one pre into another will sound like muddy sewage, regardless of the brand.

I got this pedal to put on the floor at church gigs and run drive pedals into. I was SUPER impressed by how good the high gains sounds were. The Marshall and Boogie tones were MONSTROUS, and at those gain levels, the cabinet modeling was spot-on. I ran it against models of MESA Mk IVs and JCM800s, and it held its own. No doubt. The reason that I gave it four stars is that it did not sound very good at the low-gain modes, and the "tweed" mode was confusing at best. This was the mode that I really bought the pedal for, and to me, this pedal sounds flubby and confused during low-gain operations. Rolling down the volume on your guitar to the point of break-up -- where I'd be using this pedal -- sounded gated and bounced between a gain tone and totally clean tone, rather than breaking up like a real cranked tweed amp. I've been using Amplitube on Sunday mornings, and I think I might have to stick with that. Again, if you're using it for high-gain stuff, it sounds awesome and I'd 100% recommend if a live amp is out of the question. For low-gain though, this pedal just does not cut it for me.

I was not expecting much from a 25 dollar modelling pedal , but i'll tell you what this thing would be a good deal at 100 dollars. convincing high gain distortion,the marshall is the best for my ears but the mesa is decent too. the fender side I could take or leave. the clean is just not that great with my amp.but the other 2 channels make up for it. give it a shot.

Add in front of a simple 5w tube amp, you now own 3 different amps. Behringer has been providing modeler's for years now;budget offering or not, they have learned a thing or two. Adds mojo magic to a clean solid-state tone,too. If it eventually breaks(mine is over a year old), cool paper-weight. I prefer this pedal model, although I also have the G 21 unit with same amp models, DI xlr-out,ground-lift switch. For less than $, both modeler's make huge additions to budget guitar rigs/home studio's.

I love this pedal so much that I bought 2, one for at home and one for the gig!

This modeler is quite good for the price, the main problem I have with it is the placement of the 9v power. It is so close to line-in that unless you have very small heads on your patch cords they cannot both be plugged in at the same time

I read a few other reviews that said the tweed amp emulation was it's week point. I was looking for the sound of Crazy Horse, early Neil Young like Cinnamon Girl. I only investigated tweed amp settings so maybe 3 is unfair but tweed in the title and 3 may capture someone's attention whose focus is on that.

this a pretty good. Note that the housing is all plastic so it's not exactly road warrior ready. Also, if you're using the battery it's not easy to change out. There are two spring loaded pins, one on either side of the foot switch.

This pedal has a shedload of features - more than I can comprehend or use - but unlike two other Behringer pedals I bought (Chorus and Overdrive) the input jack and the power jack are too close together to use with the pedal cables that I bought (Ernie Ball, with a very flat wide head).

Based on positive reviews, I expected this to be pretty decent for the price. Sounded like a cocked wah. Really unpleasant. Returned it.

I've been impressed with some of the Behringer pedals and the sound quality they can deliver at a ridiculous price point, but this one was a big disappointment, at least for my intended purposes.

I bought it mainly for the Tweed model, mainly for the Clean and occasionally the "tweed-style" edge of break up settings. I thought playing it direct into a decent PA might be a good option for on-the-fly performances where I might get by without an amp.

I'm a realist, so I didn't expect a $ pedal to sound just like my long-lost Blues Deluxe, but given all the rave reviews and hype, I thought it could probably do a passable job approximating a nice beefy, glassy clean Tweed-style tone that I could then take and either try pushing with a OD/boost or notching up the Drive knob to edge into break up when needed.

No such luck. The only true clean tones to be found on this pedal exist exclusively in the Tweed+Clean mode, and they only last until about 8:00 on the drive knob. From there, it might as well be an overdrive/distortion pedal. So disappointing. You can't even open up the volume enough to get a proper full clean tone before it starts breaking up. The very limited clean tone you're left with is anemic, expressionless, and kinda pitiful. I tried dialing the guitar volume back and lower output pickups, but sadly this thing was designed to do the break-up thing and not the clean thing.

Finding anything close to a Clean tone on the Brit and Cali models (even in Clean mode) is a joke. Nothing but overdrive into huge distortion tones. So again, for my purposes, this pedal is a bust.

In fairness... If massive distortion is your thing, you can get some unbelievably HUGE distortion tones out of this pedal. It's actually very impressive in that regard, and I'm guessing that's where a lot of the hype is coming from. It's just not what I was hoping for from a pedal marketed as an amp modeler. Still, it's a $ investment, so I'm going to hold onto it, and if the day ever comes that I need to break out some ridiculous over the top hair metal solo, this will probably come in handy.

This pedal is very poorly made. The knobs wobble really bad. One wrong step and it will certainly break.It sounds nothing like a tube amp modeler. It is more like a poor sounding FUZZ PEDAL.You truly get what you pay for with this pedal.Dont waste your money on this pedal like I did.
