8 out of 10
Feature:
The cab sim sounds pretty nice and with the twin reverb blasting I use both 20db pads to get it down to a reasonable level for the pa. It seems really rugged too which is nice.
Quality:
Very good, I didn't expect it to be this rugged. Although, I wish it were passive, I hate using phantom power (and no way will I trust a battery at a live show).
Value:
Never dealt w/them
Desirability:
Well its a DI, certainly not a sexy piece of gear.
Sound:
It sounds ok, I usually use the cab sim, its a little noisy but for my application this is a non-issue. So I take the second speaker out of my twin reverb and go to the pa board as well as my recording setup (through an xlr splitter). I like that there's no bleed from other instruments as opposed to using a mic. On the recordings if I add some muktiband compression and reverb it comes out sounding pretty realistic.
On the other hand, I'm not satisfied yet (who is?), so I'm still trying other boxes.
Ease of Use:
I would like to see a couple different speaker sims ala the palmer passive DI to shape your sound a few different ways.
Overall:
Aleays searching for something better, haven't found anything yet. I prefer this guy to micing the amp though.

Feature:
Very basic design and easy to use. The battery compartment is way to small though.. better to use this via phantom power.
Quality:
Built like a tank and I've road tested mine now for over a year.. I've just ordered my second one!
Value:
Behringer has always been priced right!
Desirability:
I really don't want to go back to micing up my cab live anymore. This box solved allot of live sound problems and I've got the rest of my boys using one as well. On my last CD I even recorded all of my solo's using just the Ultra-G (my head - Ultra G - ProTools) and it worked great (box handles 500W!!).. I can't live without it now!
Sound:
The sound is great. No buzz, No hum and the cab simulator is fantastic! Most DI boxes I've tried on guitar heads have a High-Freq. artifact to the output, not this one. I'm not sure why others complain about noise with the cab simulator because I have not experienced this. Very quiet and no High-Freq artifact!
Support:
Never had to contact support.
Overall:
Overall this product is killer.. I'm still curious as to why others complain about noise with this but so far live and in the studio I have not seen this problem (I always run balanced lines so maybe they're converting over to unbalanced or something??) Anyway, I'm very impressed with the Ultra-G and for it's price you can't beat it! - MX www.phist-productions.com
