ultra metal um300
if you want to get a boss metal zone but don't want to spend the bucks, check out this behringer ulttra metal pedal. it's made of heavy duty plastic so you're not pay for a metal cast . it has the 4 frequency band controls that you find on the metal zone. these 4 controls give it a fairly wide range of uses. i got it to use to get a rockman type of sound and to get that vintage gallien-kruger ml250 sound. it takes a universal ac adapter. i'm enjoying mine. rockers only!Read full review

Better than expected
The Behringer ultra metal is a clone of a Boss Metal Zone MT2
as with all clones it's not exactly the same in tone as the original , the boss has more scoop and fat low end than the UM300 . But.....the Behringer is no slacker either in bottom end tone , it's tone is the same as the boss but slightly softer ,smoother and less aggressive than the Boss, which in my opinion gives it ,it's own character and is sometimes just what you are looking for , meaning it's better for some tones than the boss and not as good on others, it all depends on what makes your ears happy ,
I use them both side by side with one set for one tone and the other for a different tone.
all in all I like the Behringer UM300 and it has a permanent place in my set up .
if you're on a budget or just want an affordable option ,this is the
pedal of choice for a fat chunky chug . it's a Thumper !Read full review

better than boss metal zone and digitech hardwire...AWESOME .....
ultra metal um300 sounds better than boss metal zone. i think it also has a noise gate in it as well. i have been using digitect hard wire distortion and overdrive and these are high end pedals . the um300 gives me the death metal sound im looking for and not even my expensive hardwire pedals can can match the um300.Read full review

Thrash Thrash Thrash
I had been looking for a good pedal to play along with early Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rage Against the Machine and Tool. I put it in my chain an it took literally two seconds to get a 'perfect' tone that retained its clarity and tightness even when I pushed the Drive to its peak. The versatility and range of tone colors is insane and the quality of the distortion is miraculous. I also own the Behringer Heavy Metal HM300, the Swedish death metal pedal, and this one easily blows it out of the water, for the same price! You can get the same tones and beyond with the UM300, but with greater clarity and firmness. This pedal feels like it comes with a compressor compared to the HM300. I was going to get the Behringer Heavy Distortion and the other variations of metal/distortion pedals but I think Ive found the holy grail, and its gonna keep me busy and satisfied for a long time. Sounds amazing on its own, I haven't stacked it yet and already I know for sure its a keeper and a mainstay along with the TO800 and the EQ700. Good job Behringer.Read full review

From Edgy to Controlled Metal Chaos!
I've purchased and used a variety of Destortions and Over Drives. And I've used the Behringer Ultra Metal for months prior to this review, so I have learned it's virtues. It has become a close friend. Just buy one. It's worth a lot more than the price.Read full review

OVER THE TOP!
Is what I would say best describes this box. I've not owned a Boss or other distortion box, but this one really kicks @$$. I've found the middle frequency adjustment to be most helpful defining the sound I'm after. Definition is the best word to describe it, too. This box will muddy up your sound or make it crystal-clearly distorted, tons and tons of it. The ABS plastic case is sturdy enough to withstand all but an elephant stomping on it. I would prefer that it had a true bypass, but for the money, it's not in there. Speaking of money, if you want tons and tons of over-the-top distortion for not a lot out of pocket, you should probably give this unit a try. BTW, the LED indicator light is supposed to be blue on these, but mine was red. Whatever. It works, that's all that counts for the most part.Read full review

You won't regret this purchase!
It's well built, sounds amazing and is in a great price range. I wanted to get my husband a pedal for his new guitar but had no clue what I was doing- turns out I made a great choice though. He loves it and it sounds great!Read full review
