Behringer UT300
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer UT300 is a tremolo effects pedal providing volume-modulation tremolo with adjustable waveform control. Controls include Rate, Wave (waveform shape selector), and Depth for tremolo character and intensity adjustment. LED on/off indicator. True bypass. 9V battery or DC power supply. Part of Behringer effects range targeting guitarists who want tremolo waveform variety beyond the typical sine-wave-only tremolo. The Wave control adjusts the modulation waveform character from smooth sine through more angular and choppy shapes.
What stands out
“Tone: volume-modulation tremolo with adjustable waveform shape via the Wave control, spanning smooth sine-wave pulse through more angular chopped shapes for rhythmically varied tremolo characters”
— from the community notes
“Signal-chain interaction: place after drive effects and before reverb; the Wave control allows matching the tremolo character to the musical context from subtle and smooth to pronounced and choppy”
— from the community notes
“Use case: guitarists who want tremolo waveform variety for different musical contexts, from smooth vintage sine tremolo to sharp rhythmic chop effects”
