I have the Behringer Ultra-G and I know it doesn't have a speaker load built in but seems like folks use it with their speaker cabs.

Just so I'm understanding correctly:

Ultra-G
- No load
- Connected to cab by speaker cables so is a "go between", similar to Friedman Mic No Mo
- Will hear both recorded out and speaker sound in the room

Direct box with speaker load
- Has a load allowing you to unplug cab
- Only will hear sound going to console and won't hear speaker blasting in the room

Am I understanding this correctly? I don't want to blow my amp but I'm understanding that as long as there is a connection between the Ultra-G, my cab, and the amp, I'm still providing a connection so I won't mess anything up.
 
That is correct..it is not a load box, just a DI w/speaker sim. Just install between amp and speaker cab like shown in the manual. I always had to have one of the -20db pads on to bring the level down.

Appreciate it man! I figured as long as "the chain" is still there and the Ultra-G is operating as just a way to keep the amp and cab connected, I shouldn't have issues but didn't want to screw anything up.

Just make sure that both cables to and from the Ultra-G are proper speaker cables. No instrument cables!

I did that and sounds great! Thanks man! This is something that is good to mention because I'm sure some users don't even think about it.
