Astounding Sounds
Tremolo bars add a handsome shimmer to your guitar sound by detuning your strings and then returning them to pitch. And the sound of two guitars playing in harmony adds a soaring, heroic touch to an ordinary lead. The US600 is built to take the place of a tremolo bar AND a second guitarist. Its Real Sound Modeling (RSM) technology produces sophisticated algorithms that deliver the delicate harmonic overtones that are critical to creating realistic harmonies and transpositions.

Versatile Sounds
The US600 stomp box offers 5 totally different-sounding modes:

• Pitch Shifter: Adds a detuned signal to the original signal with a maximum of 2 octaves above or below.
• Harmonist: Adds harmonies to the original signal with a maximum of 2 octaves above or below.
• Detune: Adds a subtle detuned signal to the original signal with a maximum of 30 cents above or below.
• Tremolo Bar: Detunes the input signal with a maximum of 2 octaves above or below similar to the effect created with a guitar vibrato arm.
• Flutter: Detunes the input signal periodically with a maximum of 1 octave above or below similar to the effect created with a fast moving guitar vibrato arm.

Pitch Shift and Tremolo Bar pitch can be shifted from 0 to 2 octaves; Harmonist pitch can be tweaked to track 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, octaves or double octaves. There's a separate 10-step Key select control for ensuring the harmonies fit the key in which you're playing, as well as Delay/Speed control and Balance to dial in how much effect you want to mix with a dry signal.

Dependable Operation
A brilliant blue LED indicates power status and battery condition. The footswitch is ultra-strong to last through years of gigging. And in bypass mode, it preserves signal integrity by taking all pedal circuitry out of your chain. The US600 pedal is designed to give you the utmost flexibility, running on Behringer's PSU-SB DC power supply or a typical 9 V battery.

Bend It, Shape It
Plug into the US600 and take your guitar places it has never been. Now even a solitary guitarist whose axe sports a steadfast bridge can harness the power of harmony and tremolo!
