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

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 that Behringer has completely improved their approach to manufacture and design. Their first line of amps were POS's. But that is long ago and forgotten. This tiny beast is a METAL ZONE with a little bit better frequency response and tone. Considering the value here, it is a definite 5 out of 5. Probably one of the best METAL (Death/Thrash/Black) Pedals of All Time. And thanks to Sweetwater for having the BEST Customer Service of Any Music Store save for maybe Thoroughbred Music back in the day (and that is the highest honor).
