Ignore the behringer name. It's great!

You won't find a better DI with cabinet emulation. The fact that it takes full 100w, turns it into line level, then spits out full 100w again to your amp's speaker.... very cool. I know it says behringer. But this is worth 10x its cost. If you wanted much more, you just need an isolation cabinet.

This DI is perfect as I take the speaker out from the Twin ...

I am using the Ultra-G GI100 with my Fender Twin Reverb (Siverface, '73) giving me the capability of recording my guitar through the Twin as if it were a preamp. This DI is perfect as I take the speaker out from the Twin into the input on the Ultra-G, pad it -20db, then plug the speaker cable into the Direct link out of the Ultra-G (which gives me the opportunity for some controlled feedback), then I take the balanced out from the Ultra-G into my mixing console for recording. By using the Ultra-G's virtual cabinet simulation I'm getting a very nice sound from the Fender that is clean. The sound is bright and clean with the simulation disengaged, and for some songs, its quite nice. But normally I'm using the simulation. I'm quite happy with the Ultra-G and recommend it if you want to record your tube amp without using a mic.

Works great! Love the Cab sim.

Got this for the cab sim within the DI. I am not using an Amp for my church worship team, so I needed something like this to go to the board/PA. I now always play with this thing at the end of my chain and my amp is collecting dust, even at home.

Great emulator

This thing is a must if you are going straight out of a guitar pedal into a board. It really livens up the feel and tone. I've played at several venues that don't allow an amp on stage and this is as good as it gets with no cabinet. Important to know the emulator has a very low airy sound when the gain is turned way up so make sure your pedal is sending a strong signal to it and you won't have any trouble. Love this thing

Wish I had bought this years ago.

What an amazing DI box. I thought all DI''s were the same. Well, they're not. The cab simulator is a must have for guitarist. It sounds so warm, and noise free. Use an xlr cable and phantom power to power the unit. You never need batteries. Solid construction and color looks great as well.

A must have for guitarists

I use this in churches and gigs with the speaker emulator instead of a 4x12" cab. I pair it with an Orange Micro Terror and it sounds awesome. That's a super portable and cheap rig that sounds very good. Yes, you can do better with a "legit rig," but you spend 10 times the money and have to haul it all around for it. Awesome DI box and the cab simulator is worth the price. My bassist and I both use it.

Surprisingly great!

I wasn't expecting much due to the brand and price, although I've never had issues with Behringer products. I find them to be a good value for the price and actually pretty reliable. Anyway, the sound of the cab emulation is very usable. It's a little dark but can be fixed easily by bumping the mids a little with EQ. Better that than ice picky and terrible. It's similar to a Marshall cab with stock G12-75 speakers--darker and slightly scooped mids. If you aren't into that just disable it and use cab emulation software. Going that route you have infinite possibilities. But it works very well for what I need it for. I use it in conjunction with a Dr. Z Air Brake to reduce the volume of the cabinet. For the price it's very good.

Great Product.

I have been a sound man and around stages all my life. I'm 66 yrs old now and I use these lots. This one I own 4 of and are in my go bag. Many people ask me how I get good sound. I show them these. Thanks for your time, best regards! 73 Jimmy, WX9DX

Good Direct Box with Cabinet Emulation

We use the Behringer Ultra-G as our bassist's direct box. Running direct into the Behringer X32 with the cabinet switch engaged. The unit adds no discernible noise to the signal. The cabinet switch warms up the sound and seems to tighten up the bass a bit. No batteries needed with phantom power. As with most Behringer products, low price with decent quality.

Best, not just best for the price, but best

This thing is the best inexpensive DI I could have hoped for. The Cab simulator allows me to go direct to the sound board and it sounds amazing.
