Extreme sounds, but it sounds a little hollow
It's a good pedal for Electric Wizard or Korn extreme fuzz stuff. It's a 2 trick pony, one is the extreme octave fuzz, which sounds good with low power chord doom and such, and the other is using the boost function to get a good crunchy tone.
My only gripe is that it sounds kind of hollow, all the tones you get from it. It sounds kinda soulless, which isn't very scientific but you get what I mean. It also colors your tone when not activated quite a bit, like all Behringer pedals.
Still, I recommend everyone to try one of these, especially considering the price.

Amazing value for money
As a pedal based on the hyper-fuzz by BOSS, which in turn is based on Univox Super Fuzz from back in the day, it's got the sounds for sure. And the value for money is off the charts of course, and that alone makes this a worthwhile purchase. Especially if you've never used fuzz before, or if you only use it sparingly, and you can't justify spending your precious pedal budget on a £400 fuzz pedal (with you). It's made of plastic, and the tonal varieties aren't huge, and the second mode just basically sounds the same whatever you do to it. But the first mode for pure out and out fuzz is perfect.

Price/Quality ratio, Extremely Aggressive FUZZ !!!
Perhaps this is the most aggressive distortion I have ever heard, or rather FUZZ ... This is an almost perfect replica, although if it were made in an iron box, the price would be much higher. I'm completely satisfied with the sound and it's interaction with the synthesizer, I don't use it for guitar but for the synthesizer or modules it is very cool for such a price!

Great pedal for an Electric Wizard tone
This pedal sounds extremely similar to the electric Wizard tone. The boost is very well done and is very useful. The 2 fuzz channels sound great too. The only downside of this pedal is that it is made from a cheap feeling plastic, but it is a great pedal for the price.

Versatile and good sounding
I love how good this thing sounds with analog synths. I give it a solid 4/5. One star reduced because the case is made from plastic and also the bypass switch and pots are not of high quality. Otherwise I am very pleased.

Sounds really great, but the enclosure is super cheap plastic. I would not gig it without rehousing it.

Three Pedals in one
***Handling***
This pedal is a stombox to be used in front of your amp
***Features***
4 knobs Level, Treble, Gain and Bass, In/Out, a connection for a power adaptor and a 3 way switch Fuzz I, Fuzz II, Boost
The SF300 actually is 3 pedals in 1.
With the 3 Way Switch you can choose between the Sound of a Super Fuzz, Big Muff or use it as a very effective Boost for Solo or drive your Power Amp section into Saturation.
In Fuzz Mode I and II the Level knob regulates the balance between the dry and wet signal.
In Boost Mode the Level knob is turned off and the Gain knob takes over its function. Beware! You can really push your amp to the limit with this. I tried it with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and the Power Amp Section really comes into the Stevie Ray Vaughan territory. Insanely sweet Power Tube Saturation. Awesome!
***Sound***
Fuzz Mode I is really sick. You can get some Nine Inch Nails Sounds out of this with a sound that emphasizes the mid frequencies.
Fuzz Mode II has the mids scooped, it comes close to a Big Muff but lacks the overall roughness of the original.
The Boost mode is pure old school Power Amp Saturation and can be used very well for Solo sound accentuation.
***Quality***
Although made of plastic, it is built well and durable. When other pedals will have rusted away, this piece of plastic will still be around. The knobs move stiffly and give the impression of quality.
The two things to criticize are the input jacks, which are mounted directly to the circuit board and the battery compartment, which is a little bit hard to reach. You have to press two pivots at each side. Opening the compartment is easy, but closing it can be a bit tricky.

Overall it is very good
Both the fuzz flavors and the boost are very tasty and usable.
Except the fact that it is plastic and therefore less durable than a metal enclosure, an issue that I found is that it colors the sound slightly even when it's off.

Excelent for the price
This is a clone of a very well known fuzz pedal that is no longer made, and for the price, it's excellent. You have two fuzz modes: the 1st is mid focused and the 2nd is scooped. You also get a boost mode. But this pedal has a secret fuzz mode: if you can find the right position between the 1st and 2nd fuzz modes, you get a 3rd one. How cool is that?
