This multi-functional Wah-Wah pedal offers everything you need for virtually all styles and sounds. This BEHRINGER product has been designed to compete head to head with leading products on the market. * Different from most pedals the Hellbabe uses complete optical control for wear-and-tear-free pedal operation (no mechanical pots and switches) plus it features a unique spring-back pedal mechanism with resistance adjustment for the ultimate freedom in playing styles. The heel-down frequency range is freely adjustable using Range control (440 Hz to 250 Hz), so you can use it even with bass guitars. An additional Fine Tune control allows high-end extension of sweep range for achieving incredibly bright, ultra-present tone. The musical Q control is provided for precise filter shaping and achieving vocal-like effects. The tunable boost function includes an On/Off switch that lets you push your licks up to the limit. We've included dual LED indicators for Effect On/Off and Boost On/Off at the tail of the pedal. Only ultra-low noise circuitry is used throughout for outstanding audio performance. Run your HB01 on a 9 V battery or a DC power supply (not included).

 "Awful, Awful, Awful" 2010-03-13
By Kerrin E. Allen (New York)
I played with this pedal for half a day and it broke on me. I was wearing socks when I played it.



Before it broke, it had a good tone with the clean channel, but the second I added distortion the wah pedal would make the gain sound really diminished.



I would recommend anyone out there getting a better pedal, and not this bottom of the line piece of garbage.

 "Nice pedal for the money." 2010-03-05

This is nice choice for a wah pedal if you don't want to drop a lot of money on a Dunlop or other "high end" pedal. It's made of plastic but don't let that scare you away. This is very tough, industrial strength plastic. You're not going to break it with normal use. If you jump up and down on it, then maybe it won't last so long. It's got some pretty cool features like a "boost" button, range adjustment knob which sets the tonal range of which sounds are most affected by the wah. You can set it to work on the higher tones to the lower tones and everything in between. It's also got a volume knob which is handy. There is also a place to adjust the tension on the pedal. I couldn't really tell that it made much of a difference. All in all it's a good wah pedal for the money. It's definitely worth giving it a try. Just save the packaging and return it if you don't like it.

 "Not what I expected. Not better, not worse, just different." 2010-03-04
By James J. Coghill (Fayetteville, NC USA)
I didn't expect much considering that I know Behringer most often uses inexpensive injection-molded plastic to keep prices low, but this pedal is certainly not what I expected. In other wah and Cry-Baby pedals I have had or used in the past, they were fairly simple, a wide range of motion which would allow easy and precise control and simple mash-down button switch under the pedal for bypass or activate. In the HB01, however, there is no simple click-on/click-off, instead it is set up where when the pedal is all the way up, it sounds bypassed. It is a nice, sturdy piece of hardware compared to other plastic FX pedals, and has some features that some people may enjoy but I am left feeling like I need a more conventional Wah or Cry-Baby for my needs. The price was good and my money wasn't wasted, I do have a few good ideas for use of this pedal, it's just a little more complex to set up and I don't liek the way it sounds like a little latency and sometimes even a noticable click in/out on the bypass where I would have prefered a much smoother, less distracting transition and most importantly, not so noticable by my audience.



Pros:

+ It's a quality constructed piece of hardware, better than you might expect from being made of plastic.

+ Loaded with fine-tuning features and tone shaping.

+ It appears the battery is not in use when the pedal is in fully up position, where some similar pedals still drain batteries unless a bypass botton is clicked to the bypass position.

+ I like the added "Boost", so long as it's for a tune where I don't need to take my foot off of the pedal so the cutout isn't so distractingly noticable.

+ Price.



Cons:

- Difficult to set up and tune the first time.

- Requires a mini screwdriver inserted into a tiny hole to set bypass cut-in/cut-out timing (This adjustment would have been much better and earned another star, if it were made an external knob for quicker and easier adjusting. I imagine that if I ever take it appart to modify, this will be the first and possibly only change I make to it)

- Doesn't feel as precise to control as other pedals.

- If you were expecting a simple Wah or Cry-Baby pedal, this may seem difficult to get adjusted to use like one.

- The automatic bypass when fully released has an annoyingly rough kick to it, not as smooth as most others like it. (With faster playing styles, this feature will take time and practice to get the timing just right, regardles of any adjustments made to the bypass timing trim pot).

- The larger, chromed "Range" knob seems to be labeled backwards. The wider frequency range is wh

 "One mean piece of equipment!!" 2010-02-20
By Solaceinsorrow
I've been playing with this a lot since I got it last week. It really is versatile as well as noiseless. I've mostly used it with the default settings.

I haven't had the time to tweak it as much as I'd like but I can say that it is quite easy to get different tones from it. Really impressed with this wah!
