Behringer UV300 Ultra Vibrato Pedal

Best Behringer pedal along the Super Fuzz. Sounds awesome, and though it's plastic looks strong enough. Can't beat the price of this

The vibrato category was always confusing to me. I didn't feel like I needed one really but for the price I would give it a shot. Its on my main board now and adds great movement in the sound. I like it with a chorus and tremelo combo. For some Hendrix stuff and more 60's vibe its excellent.

SUMMARYGreat pedal, buy it, you'll probably keep it! At its price point - 5 stars. I am keeping it and it is probably going to become a permanant addition to my pedalboard. Only time will tell but I like adding some vibrato for clean sounds. It reminds me a lot of how I used to set up my Super Reverb amp. Compared to all pedals, I'd actually give it 4 stars - downgrading 1 star for the plastic case and the limited functionality of the Rise control. But I liked it so much I decided to score it "at its price point".PROS- dirt cheap at $25 for a new pedal- sounds great - does not add or subtract any frequencies or add any noise (I wish I could say the same for some $200 pedals I've tried.)- Latched/Unlatched mode -- the best feature on the pedal. I love that I can put this in unlatched mode and use it to vibrato in short bursts.- Small form factor - normal "single pedal" size- Standard power supply - 9V Center negative - runs from pedal board power or a battery- The larger foot pedal surface (compared to just a silver bullet switch) is nice for the unlatched mode useCONS- Cheap plastic case - I doubt its durability and would have preferred to pay more for a more durable case.- Latched/unlatched switch is small (hard to reach, have to bend over, can't do with a toe)- Rise control has only the most subtle impact on sound. Probably not needed on this pedal. Two larger controls for the other controls would be a better design for usability.- Like most pedals - the knobs are super small and not easily controlled with a toe, and the settings are hard to see. My favorite pedals have large knobs, well marked settings you can see from a distance, enough space between the knobs to set one without bumping another, and in the best cases, enough space, size, and durability for the knobs to be tweakable by a foot or toe bump.Suggested Redesign, "Super Vibrato" or "Vibrato II"1) Change to a metal case2) Lose the Rise control altogether3) put the latched/unlatched modes on a 2nd stomp switch so you can stomp to go between modes4) Increase the size of and space between the other two controls -- put large "foot controllable" knobs with high visibility knobs.Then again, at 25 bucks, I might just buy a 2nd one and put one in latched and one in unlatched mode.UPDATE: I've had this about a year and a half, although have not used it consistently during that time. It still works, never had any issues when I was using it weekly. The one problem that emerged on this , and both of the other 2 Behringer pedals I bought around the same time is that the back label came off when I pulled these off my pedal board. i.e. the velcro is a lot stronger than the glue bonding the label to the pedal. Find a better glue fellas! Overall I think this is worth it's relatively low price but probably would buy a better one if this was an effect I wanted to use a lot. Based on this and comparison to "all pedals" I decided to go ahead and adjust my star rating down to 4 stars.

This is a very simple pedal. The vibrato effect is a very simple pitch modulation, so it's hard to really screw this up. Thankfully, Behringer pulled it off. It sounds GREAT for the price. I actually bought this after watching a side-by-side comparison to another vintage pedal that usually goes for $200. The sound was practically identical. For certain effects, you want a "custom" circuit board to produce a sound that is unique. With something like a pitch modulation, you really don't need anything too special. I like the fact that I can turn the latch on and off, and there's a delay blend that allows you to change the attack of the modulation. For ~$30, I honestly didn't expect much, but it definitely is in my line-up now. I know some people get shaky about plastic casing but even in live/stage settings, I am not too aggressive with pedals. In a studio situation, I don't even use effects direct (either run on a separate channel to blend into the mix or use DAW effects) unless they are crucial to my tone/sound or require a bit of "artistry" to use in context (like a wah for example). However, I did record it for S&G's, and it tracked well with no noise to speak of.TL:DR = Buy it, because you'll probably find a use for it. If not, it's not a major loss financially and you can probably re-sell it for close to retail anyways.

Honestly all Behringer's non-digital/dirt pedals of this generation are great. I've played a lot of gigs over the years with worse gear than this. It's a little plasticky, but you can buy 7 of them for the cost of a single boss pedal and they have almost the exact same circuitry inside as some great boss pedals from the early 90's (VB2). It sounds dead-on a vintage VB2. The VB2 itself is a classic tone, and I agree with Josh from JHS that this is a sound that every guitarist should try in their lifetime. For $30 you won't regret it. Plasticky construction, but if you can live with that, this pedal is pure gold.

I have been a behringer and donner backer for awhile. They make generally quality stuff for cheapI had two pedals come DOA which is unfortunateWould not recommend this one

I should say, before we begin, much of this may be unreliable. I plugged the pedal in, gave a single strum on the open strings, and the room I was in vanished. Suddenly, I found myself in a white void, and I could hear a chorus of angels behind me and there was an overwhelming sense of calm. A figure appeared before me and I was struck with a sense of peace and understanding I have never felt before. Maybe it was God, maybe it was Lemmy, but I understood that I would never really play guitar and should go back to drums. I have since sold all I own and started a cult Meetings are at 5 in the field by where the old 7-11 used to be,

A good add to any pedal board!
