Product Description
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).Product Details

Customer Reviews
It's a fantastic idea, but the build is not Behringer's finest hour.
The Behringer iAxe 393 is simply no good. The build is very
under-par. In the playing, the guitar loses tuning far too quickly. To
top it all off, after just two months, the very thing that makes this
guitar special -- BROKE! I'm referring to the USB module. It now is no
longer recognized by ANY system I plug it into. The driver installation
software doesn't know when it's plugged in and when it isn't.
On Behringer's end, the Windows Vista driver is extremely poor.
Everytime the device was unplugged and re-plugged, none of the programs
would recognize it without re-installing the device driver. This was a
very tedious and painful task. Tedious because there was no indication
after rebooting that the device would now work properly. Painful,
because it simply shouldn't be this way!!
The only pro to this device is the IDEA behind it -- that of a
guitar built to interface directly with the computer without having to
do some magic trick with cables, amps and adapters. But when the device
breaks after just two months, of what use is it then? As a regular
guitar? It loses tuning every half-hour.
The cons -- too numerous to mention, but here are the biggest ones:
1) USB fixture is faulty. 2) Device drivers are very unstable,
especially for Windows Vista. 3) loses tuning after just one half-hour.
4) There are multiple reports of shoddy workmanship on the assembly
line.
You would do well to do a LOT of personal reading on ALL Behringer
models before making any purchase. Personally, I would avoid this one
completely.
