Behringer Hellbabe- short review and free modification instructions

[radiostationexp]

not if you use the right lubricant........

[lateralis]

i'll buy one on the end of the month probably 

[reps]

totoo ba na may clicking sound ang hellbabe pag na-engage na yung pedal?

[snidd]

sir BAMF:

is this mod also applicable sa mga morley? if yes, i might pass by your shop.

[andrew_O_O]

ung wah sweep is that the tone change from when the wah is all the way back and then rocked all the way front?

anyway if it is...kaya nyo ba sir bamf na improve ung gcb95 "sweep" medyo too fast/abrupt kasi ung tone change pag ginagamit.

[omen]

hindi po totoo.

BAMF,

You forgot to comment and analyze the most important part and heart and soul of a WAH.  The inductor...

So until you prove that the inductor in the Hellbabe rivals, inductors voiced by RMC, Orion and Area 51 -- suspend your accolades. 

[firemodel55]

ooopss.

I made a mistake...  This thing does not seem to have an inductor.  Crap. 

So, you are right.  It might be the greatest value for money wah without an inductor with all the mods and flexible options. 

For real nice and warm sounding wahs, please look elsewhere.

sir BAMF,
can you really fix the problem of hellbabe??..
i mean, i had a friend who had it..so i tried to try it..
when i heard the "sweep", hell it's really crap..
so if you can, i will really recommend him to you..
tnx po..

An organicore scalarizer can be inserted in the Hellbabe signal path to make it sound warmer. . Sure worked on a CS3

Yep. Please go to the first post . That's all there is to it.

Hmm.....interesting! Mukhang mapapabisita uli ako sa PIMP! 

[firemodel55]

Iba pa rin ang warmth na galing sa inductor... it tickles the mid range of the ear

[mjpartinez]

wow ayos gling mo ser

Psychic ka ata Ariff ? Ikaw talaga iniisip ko...

Oo naman no argument there. Between a wah with no inductor and a wah na meron, iba talaga ang meron.

I'll report back after the experiment . I put an organicore scalarizer on my POS Behringer compressor and whoah. Then on a CS3. Ganda. Basically on anything electronic that you want to warm up.

pde ba i scalarize yung od tsaka dist na behringer? have you tried sir?

[BAMF]

I did it on my Behringer CS100 compressor sustainer. I'm not sure...perhaps I was uncreative at the time, but the way I did it was to lift the output jack and insert it there. It works a a proof of concept, but in actual use, it's not advisable. Because that will mean that your signal, whether bypassed or not, will pass through the scalarizer and you will have a permanent scalarizer in your signal path.

The righter way to do it is to find an insertion point that's inside the effects circuitry that will not be in the path of the bypass route. That way, when you bypass the effect, even the scalarizer is bypassed.

[bongraider]

A little OT sir bamf, i have a morley pvw(the old one) which is one weak as sh-t wah, especially if put first in the signal chain. when put after distortion, the sweep is much better but it sucks half of my tone away.

would you recommend that i do the same mod you did with the rocker pedal "windows"?


the morley's "windows" look like this-


 __________
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
--------   -------
         |  |
         |  |
          --

do you think i should do like you did with the hellbabe?
if i understand correctly you cut out the groove in the middle and
turned the "window" into an inverse triangle, right?

or would you know of a mod for this?

i'm smelling the birth of a  true bypass scalarizer stomp box.. wahehehe..

tipong lahat ng scalarizers in one stomp box.. hehe..

i bought a 2nd hand hellbabe.... di ako nagsisisi dahil nung pagkaMod ko... hanep... di ko maexplain.. ive owned a gcb95... this is so so so much better...

durability? mejo nakakatakot lang talaga... magalaw kasi yung pedal pag naka toe down...

[demoboi]

mga sir i found a way how to straighten the sides of the triangle.. just put strips of electrical tape both sides.. un tapos.. sir kailangan ba slim lang ang butas?.. nalakihan ko ata ung sakin.. hehehe! may clear ba na pic jan? tinanggal ko talaga ung pedal part by pulling the pin para hindi mahirap i-cut...
