What's So Great About the HELL-BABE?

First of all, this demon's heel-down RANGE control provides low frequency adjustment that can be swept from 440 Hz down to 250 Hz, making the HB01 the ideal companion for either guitar or bass. For custom-tailoring the toe-down frequency range, the HELL-BABE features a FINE control, allowing you to adjust the frequency sweep as high as 2.2 kHz.

Volume Boost

You can even dial in a powerful volume BOOST (up to +15 dB), so that when you do step on the HB01, your guitar will rise to the top of the mix. A highly versatile Q control is provided for precise filter shaping and for achieving vocal-like effects.

No-Nonsense Build Quality

Unlike anything else on the market, the HELL-BABE uses no mechanical pots or switches, which significantly reduces on wear and tear. But that's not all that separates this pedal from the pack; it also features a spring-back pedal mechanism with resistance adjustment. And thanks to our ultra-bright LED indicators you'll always know when it's on and when the volume boost is activated. You can power this bad boy with a 9V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).

Value

The super-affordable HELL-BABE HB01 is loaded with user-friendly features, and is quite a bit more versatile than your dad's wah. Step on one today at your BEHRINGER dealer and experience "love at first wah!"

This product punches far above its weight. Considering it costs less than half of some of the big boys on the market, it really can give them a run for their money. Overall, it's not as good as a Crybaby but it's a great wah pedal for a fantastic price.
