I had it...

Bought it about 10 years ago when I was a student and could not afford anything better. Thought it was worth a try...

  • Sound was okay
  • Cheap (<30€)

    • -Broke after third (gentle!) use at home (it never saw a stage or even left my bedroom)

Would not buy this disappointment again and therefore cannot recommend this to anyone. Even little money is too much spent on a solidly-looking but fragile device like this.

The UD300 is the pedal I used for the performances of our EP #PREVAIL and to play some songs from the album that came after.
