Behringer UC200 F.A.Q.

How do I connect the Behringer UC200 to my guitar setup?

To connect the UC200, plug your guitar into the input jack. Connect the output jack to your amplifier or the next pedal in your chain using a standard 1/4 inch instrument cable.

What power supply is compatible with the Behringer UC200?

The UC200 can be powered using a 9V battery or a Behringer PSU-SB DC power supply. Ensure the power supply is compatible with 9V DC and has a negative center pin.

How can I troubleshoot if the UC200 is not turning on?

First, check if the 9V battery is properly installed or if the power supply is connected correctly. Verify the cables and connections. If the problem persists, try a different power source or battery.

What are the best settings for a classic chorus effect on the UC200?

For a classic chorus effect, set the Level to 12 o'clock, Tone to 2 o'clock, Rate to 11 o'clock, and Depth to 1 o'clock. Adjust these settings according to your preference and setup.

How do I clean and maintain the Behringer UC200?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the pedal's exterior. Avoid using liquids or cleaning agents. Regularly check and tighten any loose jacks or knobs to ensure optimal performance.

Can the UC200 be used with a bass guitar?

Yes, the UC200 can be used with a bass guitar. Experiment with the settings to achieve the desired chorus effect, as the frequency response will differ from a standard guitar.

What should I do if there's no sound when the UC200 is activated?

Check if the Level control is set too low. Ensure the input and output cables are properly connected. Verify that the pedal is receiving power and that the battery isn’t depleted.

How can I reduce noise or hum when using the UC200?

Ensure that you are using high-quality cables and a stable power source. Keep the pedal away from other electrical devices that may cause interference. Consider using a noise gate pedal if problems persist.

Is the UC200 true bypass or buffered bypass?

How do I change the battery in the UC200?

To change the battery, press the two tabs on the side of the pedal and slide the bottom plate off. Replace the old 9V battery with a new one, ensuring the correct polarity, and slide the plate back on until it clicks into place.
