Good product.

Features:

A like the fact that you can use it in basicly four major settings (Tube Preamp w/o limiter, and Solid State w/o limiter) All of the controls work great.

Quality:

It has a solid metal case.  I will baby it like I do with all my equipment.  This isn't a stomp box.  I would pack it in it's box to travel to not possible break the nobs.  I won't expect it to hold up to drops.

Value:

More features than anything in it's price range.

Overall:

I bought this to boost my instument mic signal to my soundcard.  I have a USB condenser mic and Amp Modeler (that I headphone out into my soundcard) and they both give me great noiseless signals.  But my mic with soundcards and other usb interfaces were giving me low signals with hiss.  With the MIC200 I now  have a nice fat noiseless signal that sounds just like my guitar tube amp.  I see no need to change the tube because the sound isn't thin or hissy.  I have gotten some nice clean harmonics and punchy sounds into a solid state bass amp. But that amp has a great sound and breakup that the MIC200 won't help make that amp better.  I think the MIC200 could make a boring sounding solid state more lively, but it's not going to give you good breakup/crunch. The good thing about it though is that it isn't filtering out any frequencies like different pedals do (tube or not).

Try one (with some good cords).  If you get a bad one get another one sent instead of keeping it and crying.

VERY NOISY!

Even with nothing hooked to it this thing is very noisy with hiss,static pops and crackles. It sounds just like you are listening to a AM broadcast station in a lightning storm! I bought this to simply supply phantom power for a condenser Mic and this thing is so noisy I'm not sure I could holler loud enough to get over all the noise this thing makes. There is no option to rate this a ZERO so I'm stuck giving it 1/2 star.

It works

Overall:
First of all, this is a starved plate style preamp, meaning that the signal passes through the tube, but is combined with the original signal...so its not a true tube pre amp, so changing out the tubes and stuff won't have a profound effect on it. That being said, I didn't buy this for a tube preamp.  I use it to route vocals dry into my audio interface, and send the other output into my effects unit so the singer can get zero latency monitoring with reverb, etc. which usually helps there performance Also, since I record digital guitars and use Amplitube, I find passing it through this preamp before going into my interface takes a little bit of the digital edge off...not a huge difference, but it helps. I've also used it on snare drum, and it helps when set as a limiter to keep levels fairly consistent, which can be an issue sometimes if the player isn't consistent. Really for 40 bucks, its not bad, but its not a good preamp by any means, but it is useable for some applications.

this thing is a game changer in my home studio.  warms up vocals and acoustic guitars, gives drums that 3D sound(acoustic and a roland td3), I'm even using it as my guitar pre into the effects return on a ss amp.  swap the tube.  i threw in a tung-sol and it moved the tone from good to phenomenal.  i plan on buying at least 3 more, and using a different brand tube in each one for versatility in sounds. Great Buy!!  Thanks Behringer!!!!

great little unit

Overall:
Bought 2 of these to run for guitar ( Dean Boca semi hollow body 6string with Dimebag darrell double humbuckers) and condenser mic ( marshall mxl 990) and man what a difference these make. now I did notice some weird pops and distortion at first but after a little bit of fiddling and changing out for better cables the sound realy cleaned up very nicely, "NO unwanted background noise". cheap cables usually have impedance problems from poor copper that these little unit bring out and exasperate. but slap on good cables and forget it , you couldn't get a better deal on a DI unit, tube pre-amp or limiter yet alone an all in one unit. great clean tube sound with tons of warmth and  gain from crystal clear to tons of crunch without overdriving the mixing board. also as a word of advice, Tubes are ancient tech and do require a good couple of minutes to warm up and function properly.
