"Ultra-G is the only DI for me!!"

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

"Lots Of Bang For The Buck, But The 4X12 Sim Is A Bit Noisy"

Feature:
This DI does everything a DI should do, and slightly more. I just wish that the cabinet simulation didn't introduce any noise into the signal.

Quality:
I had one of these suffer a death where the input jacks seemed to somehow develop a short. I opened the DI to see if there was anything I could do, but the jacks are sealed (and soldered to a PCB.) What opening the box revealed, though, was that you would probably have to subject the box to a rather nasty impact to actually damage the electronics.

Value:
Behringer has a reputation for lots of features for a low price, and this DI is a perfect example of that.

Desirability:
This is a great addition to a live sound engineer's arsenal, although it doesn't inspire the same "it's nuke-proof" response as more heavily built DI boxes might.

Sound:
These DI's are quite nice, only seeming to have one sonic weakness, and that is the cabinet simulation causing a fair amount of hiss. The cabinet simulation won't satisfy everyone, but as a live sound engineer, I like its overall tone more than simply having an amp (usually with the high frequencies at painful levels) blasting away in the room.

Support:
I've only spoken to Behringer once, and they seemed quite helpful.

Overall:
I am buying at least one more of these to make up for the one that had a problem. The 4X12 simulation puts these DI's at the head of the pack for me.
