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!

5.0 out of 5 stars wallet-friendly intelligent and friendly!, June 27, 2010
By 
Dave (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behringer US600 Ultra Shifter/Harmonist Ultimate Pitch Shifter / Harmonist Effects Pedal (Electronics)
It can be an octave divider (up to two up or down)
It can do parallel intervals (a la Trevor Rabin on Owner Of A Lonely Heart)
It can do intelligent harmonies (just make sure your guitar is IN TUNE so it can track your playing!)
It can do Digitech Whammy-esque divebombs (up or down)
It can do chorus-like detuning
It can do whammy bar flutter-copies
It's a BARGAIN
It's very welcome on my pedalboard

If it's what you're looking for (it's not Lexicon, it's not TC, nor does it profess to be) and you know how to use it you really can't go wrong.

Get one and have fun! Because it's not programmable I'm getting another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Berhinger's Wonder Pedal, March 4, 2011

This review is from: Behringer US600 Ultra Shifter/Harmonist Ultimate Pitch Shifter / Harmonist Effects Pedal (Electronics)
At first I was skeptic to thinking the shifter and harmonist feature will match the same features as the Digitech Whammy Pedal. Skeptic no more! This little guy can do similar features and more! I was playing around with the knobs and this bad boy can also act as a chorus pedal (watch YouTube videos on how to do that). he harmonist part is a little confusing to learn at first but once you know how to use it, you'll be good.

The only thing I wish this pedal has is a feature where we can control the time from going from the normal note to the octave note(as an actually whammy pedal) but with this it let's you control the time from one note to the octave.

Other than that, I RECOMMND this pedal fi yuo want to save money and to have these amazing features!

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, January 6, 2012

This review is from: Behringer US600 Ultra Shifter/Harmonist Ultimate Pitch Shifter / Harmonist Effects Pedal (Electronics)
I have been playing guitar for about ten years now and I am in no way a pro by any measure, but I can tell you that this pedal does do what it says it will do.
With that being said, it is made of plastic but seems robust enough to last for awhile as long as you don't abuse it. That means don't stomp on it hard, don't drop it, don't drag it around by the cord, or kick it around too much.
It does not come with a wall adapter so if you need one buy one. I can tell you that I did not buy the recommended Behringer adapter for this unit because I have probably saved every adapter from every electronic device I have ever owned! So I was sure that I had one that would fit (and I did). This pedal is very noisy when running off the wall adapter (definite 60Hz hum)so I'm not sure if it is my adapter or if the pedal just does not have any power filtering in it. I can tell you that even on battery power the pedal seems noisy. I have never owned a single function pedal before but have... Read more
