I will not rewrite what has been previously described ...

UTILIZATION

Very simple, but with a peculiarity: two modes of distortion Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 per switch.

SOUND QUALITY

So that's where it gets stuck ... This is the third Behringer pedal I bought (and sold), the only one I kept was the TO 100 really for once, I'll explain later why ...
The sound of the UD 100 is small ... and completely unrealistic in terms of distorted signal. I tested it through a Squier Stratocaster and a rise in Duncan Power Chorus and a vintage Marshall head with a Vox cabinet. As with a VD (that I left a post), the sound is shrill, does not respect the instrument in "eating" the lower frequencies ds ds spectrum and the medium. It was immediately surprised by this side "emulated" when it is the component. In any case, it sounds too clean, whatever the level of saturation and really "bad" to play (in my opinion).

OVERALL OPINION

For € 19, do not worry it's disposable. The case is assembled and plastoc seems solid (for the price of course). Its level, it is of € 19 too!
Thinking that I would do (after having tried a bunch of pedals at home) is that the model type Overdrive (TO 100, 800) sound better because they do not need ... to distort. Indeed, although the effect they restore compressed and remain transparent lamp type ds-chain effects, but once you mount the drive, then you can reach the grain distortion models with the same drawbacks (realism, dynamics etc).
It is no secret, for this price you can not hear the Boss or Ibanez, it will be a little closer, but there really is a gap between the marks and Behringer.
I think their models modulations should be interesting but to play with a distortion that sounds, there is little to be any compromise on this type of sound, which is simple but one that also must be forgotten.
