    Numrique distortion pedal with three selected types, effective equalizer (parametric medium) and noise-gate Intgr (very effective also)

    UTILIZATION

    No pb. Well almost, see below-after ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    Attention, I do not know if opinions differ so much because of this but your exact pedals that has changed radically change my amp.
    Let me explain:
    - Phase 1, transistor amp Roland Cube 30: no pb, I plug my guitar (peavey Wolfgang US) directly into the uber metal, then this one in the amp clean sound (which is also excellent).

Your exact trs is good (playing hard I prfre classic mode "metal") a lot of sustain, only the bass is a little lgres. It is cold enough (forcing on the cube as well) but it is effective and workable trs.
    - Phase 2 amp lamp ValveKing 112: making the same connections, rsultat catastrophic! Its super loud, no more bass, etc ... I tried to plug it into the effects loop of the amp, and your exact silent a little better, I rcuprer low, but much less gain and sustain before ... The saturated channel 112 is doing much better instantly. In short, the uber metal farewell for me!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I RPET all costs but we must try this pedals with your amp, if not hello surprises (and not always good as in my case ...).
    I trs SATIF silent with my Roland Cube, for against, it unusable with the ValveKing silent.
    I bought a Vox rcemment Satchurator, and no problem, plugs into the clean channel it gives me a good saturation trs prcise more "clear" that the channel saturated the amp.
    In short, I do not know if this problem on other amp lamps, but be sure your type of amp before you buy!

    Digital distortion pedal with three selectable voicings. Effective EQ (parametric mid) and integrated noise gate (also very effective)

    UTILIZATION

    No problems. Or almost (see below)...

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound of this stomp box changed radically after buying a new amp.
    Explanation:
    - I first had a Roland Cube 30 solid-state amp and the result was very good: guitar (peavey wofgang US) directly into the Uber Metal, and stomp box into the amp (clean channel). The result sounds very nice (I use the metal mode since I usually play classic hard rock) with a long sustain. Only the low-end is a bit too light. The tone is …

The result sounds very nice (I use the metal mode since I usually play classic hard rock) with a long sustain. Only the low-end is a bit too light. The tone is rather cold (it also due to the Cube) but easily usable.
    - I then bought a Valveking 112 tube amp: the result is disastrous!! Very shrilling sound, almost no low frequencies, etc. I tried to connect it into the FX loop of the amp: the sound was a bit better with more lows but less gain and less sustain... Surprisingly, the lead channel of the 112 gives better results. So, I don't use the Uper Metal!!


    OVERALL OPINION

    Try this stomp box with your amp because you could get bad surprises.
    I was very satisfied with my Roland Cube, but the pedal is useless with the Valveking.
    I bought a Vox Satchurator later and had no problems. I connect it to the clean channel and I get a good distortion sound.
    I don't know if you would experience the same problem with other tube amps: just try it out with your own amp before buying it.
