Quick Guide

The Behringer UV300 is a classic vibrato effects pedal designed for guitar and other instruments. It features no dedicated power switch; the unit activates automatically when a cable is inserted into the IN connector. To preserve battery life, always disconnect the input cable when the pedal is not in use.

Controls

The pedal features four main controls to shape your sound:

MODE switch: Toggles the footswitch functionality. LATCH mode activates/deactivates the effect with a single press. UNLATCH mode keeps the effect active only while the pedal is held down. BYPASS mode allows the signal to pass through unaffected.
RISE control: Adjusts the time required for the effect to reach maximum detuning. Turning clockwise slows down the modulation onset.
RATE control: Determines the speed of the vibrato effect.
DEPTH control: Adjusts the intensity of the pitch modulation.
Footswitch: Used to activate or deactivate the effect.
ON/BATT LED: Illuminates when the effect is active and serves as a battery level indicator.

Connections

IN (1/4" TS): Connect your instrument cable here. Inserting a plug here powers on the unit.
