Quick Guide
The Behringer UV300 is a classic vibrato effects pedal. It does not have a dedicated on/off switch. The unit powers on automatically when a 1/4 inch cable is inserted into the IN connector. To preserve battery life, always remove the cable from the IN jack when the pedal is not in use.
Controls
- MODE: Switches between LATCH (press once to toggle on/off), UNLATCH (effect active only while pressed), and BYPASS (no effect).
- RISE: Adjusts the time required for the effect to reach maximum detuning.
- RATE: Determines the speed of the vibrato effect.
- DEPTH: Adjusts the intensity of the pitch modulation.
- Footswitch: Activates or deactivates the effect.
- ON/BATT LED: Illuminates when the effect is active and serves as a battery level indicator.
Connections and Power
Use the 1/4 inch TS IN connector for your instrument cable and the 1/4 inch TS OUT connector to send the signal to your amplifier. For power, use a 9V battery or a 9V DC power supply (not included).
