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.
