The Behringer pedals are pretty good copies, when going off the analog circuits, but it seems that when stepping into the digital realm it's pure garbage. This might work perhaps in combination with other pedals. If you add a drive and eq, you might form something passable or perhaps a lo-fi type of sound. But when you just plug it in on its own, in a clean channel, you can clearly tell that it is complete trash. Not one of the settings to me sound usable, it's all muddy and in my opinion unusable.

A solid TS808 clone, a kind of set it and forget it pedal. Some may fear that the plastic enclosure won't last. I think it can hold up for a few years and by then you should have figured out if you want to shell out the big bucks for a genuine tube screamer, so you can place a metric ton on the switch, rehouse this pedal in a generic metal case or just spend another 20 bucks on a replacement. Or you can use it as always on and clean up the sound by rolling the volume down on the guitar, in this case I think the pedal should last a long time if you don't throw it around. Perfect balance of price, purpose and tone.
