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.

Controls

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.
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).
The BOOST switch activates the boost function. The output level is then increased – but only if the Wah effect is switched on.
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).
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.
Turning the FINE control allows to extend the toe-down frequency of the sweep range up to 2.2 kHz.
Use this 1/4″ TS IN connector to plug in the instrument cable.
The 1/4″ TS OUT connector sends the effected signal to your amp.
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.
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.
Use the 9 V connection to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included).
The STATUS-LED illuminates when the effect is activated.
The BOOST-LED illuminates when the boost function is activated.
The ROCKER SCREW allows to adjust the resistance of the rocker mechanism.

The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located at the bottom of the unit.
Open the lid to install or replace the 9 V battery.
◊ The HB01 has no on/off switch. As soon as you insert the jack into the IN connector, the HB01 begins running. When not using the HB01, remove the jack from the IN connector. This extends the life of the battery.

The SERIAL NUMBER is located at the bottom of the unit.
