HELLBABE HB01

Ultimate Wah-Wah Pedal with Optical Control

Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the Behringer HELLBABE HB01. This professional Wah-Wah pedal  

is specially designed to provide everything you need for all-style classic and modern sounds. Thanks to its high-performance 

features like flexible Q control, freely adjustable heel-down frequency range (perfect for use with bass guitars), tunable boost 

function and much more you’re armed with a tool for serious musicians yearning for the most up-to-date sounds to add new 

dimensions to their creativity.

WHERE TO PUT YOUR WAH-WAH

Most guitar players put their Wah-Wah pedal before time based effects like reverb, flanger, chorus, vibrato etc. This assures  

that the effects are added to the Wah-Wah sound. Even all kinds of distortion/overdrive effects should be placed before this unit  

to achieve best tone results.

1.  Controls

(1) 

This is the 

pedal

 of the HB01. The unit will be activated as soon as you put your foot on and move it. By taking your foot  

from the pedal the effect will be deactivated. Depending on the timer adjustment (see 

(10)

) the HB01 remains active for a few 

seconds after that. 

(2) 

The 

RANGE

 control lets you extend the heel-down frequency to match the frequency range of bass guitars for example 

(440 Hz to 250 Hz). 

(3) 

The 

BOOST

 switch activates the boost function. The output level is then increased - but only if the Wah effect is switched on. 

(4) 

The 

BOOST

 control adjusts the level of output boost (max. +15 dB). This control is only active if the BOOST switch is set to ON 

(and if the Wah is switched on). 

(5) 

The 

Q

 control allows to change the shape of the filter peak. High Q settings (turned to right position) produce a large, 

selective filter peak with a high output level. Low Q settings (turned to left position) provide a lower output level  

with a subtle, broad filter peak producing less vocal effect. 

(6) 

Turning the 

FINE

 control allows to extend the toe-down frequency of the sweep range up to 2.2 kHz. 

(7) 

Use this 1/4" TS 

IN

 connector to plug in the instrument cable. 

(8) 

The 1/4" TS 

OUT

 connector sends the effected signal to your amp. 

(9) 

The 1/4" TS 

OUT/BYPASS

 connector can be used as second output or as bypass, hard wired to the input, to play out  

the uneffected signal.

(10) 

The 

TIMER ADJ

 control (accessable through a hole in the housing) is needed to adjust the time the effect remains active  

after taking your foot from the pedal. 

(11) 

Use the 

9 V

 connection to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included). 

(12) 

The 

STATUS

-LED illuminates when the effect is activated. 

(13) 

The 

BOOST

-LED illuminates when the boost function is activated. 

(14)
