Didn't dissapoint
I bought this for mostly experimental purposes at my home studio. It has a great range of sounds I'm getting out of it and I'm very happy with it. I wish Behringer would bring back their Time Machine pedal also, from the same line as this Vintage Tube Monster. I'd get it in a second.

Too big and need modifications
Pros :
1. Very cheap
2. Better tone than more expensive pedals
3. Good build quality.
Cons
1. ?t is very very big (almost like processor)
2. Stock tube is very bad .
3. 12ax7 doesn't suit this pedal (you need to modify better quality and low gain tube such as "jj 12at7")
If you want to change stock tube and don't care about its size, definitely go for it. It deserves each penny!

Great affordable tube overdrive/distortion
Really dig this pedal, I haven't changed the stock tube which came with it but that apparently makes the pedal even better.
Does great light overdrive to high gain distortion
Would really recommend

Tolle Ausstattung, Sound gewöhnungsbedürftig
Top ausgestattet, Noisegate und Equalizer funktionieren super, sogar ein Netzteil ist dabei. Die Verzerrung klingt aber nicht nach Röhrenamp, sondern eher nach einer Mischung aus Fuzz und Distortion, also sehr harsch. Hat klanglich durchaus seine Berechtigung, bringt aber nicht wirklich den "Vintage Tube"-sound den der Name impliziert.

Very nice affordable tube drive
It is pretty nice pedal for the price. Build quality is good. Also the manual gives you an idea about how to set your tone.
I don't think the noise gate on the pedal is really necessary unless you have a huge signal chain.
Pedal amplifies the high frequencies considerably a lot comparing to lows and it stays there even when trebble is at 9 o'clock and other 12.
The amount of drive you can get is pretty high. Even around 9 o'clock (drive knob) it gives a nice crunch on my Fender 65 DRRI.
That well known behringer noise is there, it is not a very clean pedal, but overall, I am satisfied with my purchase! However, I am eager to test more tube drives, TC electronics maybe... :)

Powerful drive pedal
Easy to use.
This pedal got plenty of useful features, noise gate, treble, mids, bass and gain control as well as a master volume knob. It has plenty of volume on tap and can be a boost, drive or even a fuzz-esque distortion if you go wild on the knobs.
Need a versatile and loud drtve pedal? look no further.

Good sounding distortion for a great price.
When my trusty Jekyll&Hyde od+distortion sadly kicked the bucket, I needed a new distortion. My budget was a bit limited at that time too so I decided to try the "Vintage Tube Monster", you know, atleast for a while before I can get a decent one. It was so cheap I didn't really had anything to lose.
But I've used it for about nine months now, didn't need to replace it at all! Great organic sounding distortion with a nice tube amp distortion feeling (you can roll down the guitar volume knob and it cleans a bit, very nice to adjust your tone on the fly!). I think it really excels at medium gain saturated rhythm and lead tones, but you can get nice crunch tones too. I've mostly used it in alternative rock music and it fits these kinds of genres nicely.
My only two complains are that it hogs a big space in your pedal board, and that it came with a broken tube. Luckily I had spare cheap tubes lying around and it sounds pretty good with them too. I didn't bother asking for a replacement tube since it seemed to be a cheap chinese tube anyway. And regarding the size: it does feel positively sturdy though, so not a huge problem unless you are low on extra space.
Anyway, for the pricepoint, you can't really go wrong: great sounds and it even has a noise gate for those particularly noisy single coils you might have.

Sounds too good for the price
Behringer are not known for their amazing quality or sounding pedals but I took a chance and bought this after reading a few good reviews, and I really am surprised how good it can sound, and the quality of the build.
First off this pedal is big, it takes up two spaces in my pedal board. Its all metal housing seems solid, and the stomp box has put up with my my boots for almost a year now with no complaints.
As far as tone goes I think you could get almost any tone you wanted, from a little tube boost to really high gain screaming tone. I put a boss blues driver before it as a preamp to drive the tube further, and then I was really cranking this beast. The triple EQ knobs give you that bit more control of your sound compared to most which only have a single "tone" knob.
If you need great tube tone on a budget, this could be the pedal for you.
