The Behringer HB01 HELL BABE Wah Wah Pedal with optical control. Maximum control with outstanding audio performance.
The Behringer HB01 HELL BABE is a multi-functional Wah-Wah pedal that offers everything you need for virtually all styles and sounds. 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. Behringer have included dual LED indicators for Effect On/Off and Boost On/Off at the tail of the pedal. 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).

Behringer Hell-Babe HB01In the way I use it is nice. I make noise and play with the sound with the Hell Babe... But as an actual wha petal the sound is very poοr... For example I dont think you can use it to play funk... What else should i wright? ehmmm... It has a lot of buttons to play with and they actually make a change in the sound, so you might find somthing that you like...
the pedals works ok-ish on the bridge pickup with distortion , but is totally bad witht the neck pickup . the boost is a cool idea, but make funky noise on the attac .
Overall is a good pedal for the price it cost, but is not really pro .
With all the knobs and buttons you can tailor your sound in many ways. It is quite capable. The main problem with this pedal is that the sweep is very narrow. I don't mean the physical sweep of the pedal, but in terms of sound. Basically it jumps from low to high frequency somewhere in the middle of the physical sweep and that's it. Almost like an on/off switch. It works well for fast rhythmical playing and sounds great like that, but it is almost impossible to do long, slow, phaser-like sweeps. Still, the overall impression is fine and to me it sounds way better than the crybaby. It takes a little bit of getting used to the switchless operation. It doesn't work well with the fuzz face. It also screws up the sound a bit in combination with a RAT. I gave it 5 stars for craftsmanship as it seems solid, but what do I know...
This pedal sounds better than what I expected from something as cheap as this. One little disadvantage is that it turns off when you hold your heel down for a certain time. The time it takes to turn off is of course adjustable. However, it still annoys me that there is no other way to turn off the effect while playing and that it sometimes turns off when I dont want it to.
I thought a long time before decided to buy this pedal.
But when I got it and try to use this pedal, I understood that was right to buy it.
Wide range of sound, all ajustable parameters - good abilities to find you own lovely sound. Very flexible device.
As I said before, Behringer becomes better.
