Everything has been said below ...
UTILIZATION
The machine looks simple but the switches are not great: you wonder when are they are ON or OFF. but hey, at the ear is doing it. strong point: it operates on phantom power supply and if you are not available, you can put a 9 volt battery in it. I plug my Telecaster live in, sometimes I go through a few pedals before, then I attack table mix / sound system or computer.
I have never plugged an amp on it ... it seems that it works.
SOUND QUALITY
Warning: some of my sound is identifiable, once passed by the beast, but there are still frequencies that were lost somewhere in the box ... there is less of an attack, less acute, but the mids are there. Simulation HP is no better than the Red Box at H & K for a cheap direct box we will not complain.
It does its job, I use it live sometimes, when I have no amp on hand, and seen him scratch the other plays on a real stack, and although my sound is average, at the limit the "ok". We need the feedback and the front rings, though.
If one is only guitarist in a band, or if you model with, do not expect something huge. Mostly it blows a lot this little box.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year, mainly to record tracks witness models (the definitive guitar play my favorite amps). The requirement then, this box is ok and not very expensive.
In my opinion it is the only machine that is useful in Behringer, and works properly.
DI boxes are more expensive in others, they are better too. He who would go to sub Avalon or Universal Audio.
In the immediate future I continue to use the Ultra-G on my models.
