I picked up a Behringer TM300 from Facebook Marketplace for the princely sum of around €/$15 and I love it! It has three amp models (Fender/Marshall/Mesa), three mic positions (more like eq curves, since it does not have cab simulation no matter what various internet reviews might claim) and three modes for each amp (clean/high gain/hot). I don't particularly care for either Fender or Mesa amps, I got this for the gnarly Marshall tones which it delivers in droves. Whether we're talking classic Rush, Van Halen or eighties Metallica, this little thing's got you covered. You could potentially use this pedal for playing everything from sixties twang to noughties nu-metal I guess, though I personally have no interest in the other two amp models.
Here's a few quick & dirty examples of the various British tones you can get out of it. This is straight out of my pedal board with just a splash of delay and a Marshall speaker cab added in Reaper. The final bit has a tube screamer clone in front, driving the TM300 a little harder, which yields a wicked lead tone. With some tweaks I would seriously consider using this for recording. It certainly sounds and plays more like a Marshall than any software amp sims I have.
So in other words, I recommend it. Definitely the perfect pedal for getting more varied tones out of a limited practice amp.
