Behringer UV-300 Ultra Vibrato

Fantastic sounding pedal for the £16 or so I bought it for on sale. Behringer have absolutely nailed quality budget effects pedals in my view. It is of course made of plastic and very cheaply made, but that’s literally the only trade off for the ultra low price. A lot of the pedals in the Behringer range sound better than other similarly priced alternatives in my opinion. They sound great and work great, but the cheap construction probably wouldn’t hold up for that long if given lots of abuse.For any beginners or casual guitar players who are looking at buying some cheap effects pedals, I cannot recommend these enough.

Excellent vibrato pedal all round, not just excellent given its ridiculously low price. The range the controls allow is vast and the sound is gorgeous. I play a shoegaze/alt-rock style meaning a lot of different pedals being switched on at any one time; the vibrato effect can still be heard distinctively even above the various fuzz, distortion and delay pedals I have in front of it.It does have plastic casing, which I am not considering a downside as it helps to keep the price low, just don't go stamping on it too hard! It feels tough enough and has been fine so far for a standard level of use.

Firstly - sounds awesome. If you want a proper sounding vibrato effect on your guitar (and it’s fine in electro acoustic too) this is the way to go for basically no money. It’s even unlatch/latch/bypass setup (just like the Boss pedal it’s a clone of). The controls are Boss sensitive too - like all good pedals, you have to make incremental changes to shape your sound.Secondly - it’s made like a high quality toy with grown up components inside. No getting away from it. Best advice is - put a battery in even if you intend to daisy chain it - it adds weight and stops the foot switch from being quite so creaky and bendy lol. In fairness though, I’ve owned 4 Behringer pedals and none of them become broken whilst in my keeping - the only issue here is the extra use because of the (very useful) unlatch mode.It’s a great pedal for 16 quid!

I'm really impressed with this vibrato pedal. I've been after one for a while but others seem way too expensive to justify. Although I have many Boss, MXR and Digitech pedals, I do have a couple of Behringers that I've had for years, and I've never had a problem with one so far. The vibrato on this pedal is very lush and clear, and I can't hear any background noise or hum, so it doesn't colour our interfere with your sound. I don't use it with a battery, just a centre negative generic power supply, and it works well. It's on my pedalboard permanently now. My gear is a Laney Ironheart 60w head through an Orange PPC4x12 cab. This pedal works beautifully clean and also with dirt - either via amp or overdrive/distortion pedals. I can't compare this with other vibrato pedals, but to me this does just the job really well and I'm really pleased :-) . I'd highly recommend this pedal, it's great fun.

Really like the pedal esp choice between latching/unlatching functionality

Sounds great, but the mechanism in the footswitch broke very quickly. It's good if you want to try out a vibrato pedal, but it's probably worth spending more money on something sturdier if you're going to use the effect a lot.

Excellent! Five stars!

A clone of the original Boss VB-2 - it is 'proper' analog construction and circuitry rather than a digital model. I would say the tone is a little clearer with less high end loss than the original and seems to not suffer volume changes when activated that the original did (I've owned two originals previously).As other users have found, the slowest rate is a little fast for our liking and I modified this by adding a couple of capacitors to reduce the rate... This now gives me the sort of 'seasick' Boards of Canada sound that I wanted only on a guitar. I certainly got that. Obviously, this voids the warranty and the SMD circuit board is not easy to play with but hey it cost me £16 new and the originals go sometimes for 20 times that amount!It's plastic, it wobbles, it sounds great so stop moaning people.
