ULTRA BASS FLANGER BUF300

Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER ULTRA BASS FLANGER BUF300. This high-quality effects pedal delivers incredible flanging effects specially designed for bass guitars to take your sound to a new level.

Originally, the flanger effect was generated by using two tape recorders running synchronously. The same audio signal was recorded on both machines. If you put a finger on the left spool of one of the machines, the spool and the playback speed are slowed down. The generated delay results in phase shifting of the signals.

The MANUAL control adjusts the starting point for the modulation of the flanging effect.

The DEPTH control adjusts the flanging range that is altered by the center frequency set with the MANUAL control.

The RATE control determines the speed of the flanging effect.

The RES(onance) control determines the amount of output signal fed back to the flanger input to increase the resonance frequency. That way the flanging effect gets more intensive.

The ON/BATT LED illuminates when the effect is activated. It also serves as a battery level indicator.

Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect.

Use this 1/4" TS IN connector to plug in the instrument cable.

The 1/4" TS OUT connector sends the signal to your amp.

Use the DC IN connection to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included).

The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located underneath the pedal cover. To install or replace the 9 V battery (not included), press the hinges with a ballpoint pen and remove the pedal cover. Be careful not to scratch the unit.

The BUF300 has no on/off switch. As soon as you insert the plug into the IN connector, the BUF300 is on. When not in use, remove the plug from the IN connector. This extends the life of the battery.
