Product Information
Full details
The Behringer UC200 Ultra Chorus effects pedal is designed for guitarists seeking to add a thick, vibrant stereo chorus effect to their tone. It offers precise control over the chorus sound, enhancing musical texture and creating the illusion of multiple instruments. While it provides premium effects at an accessible price point, users should be aware that it is primarily a guitar-focused effect and may require additional equipment for use with other instruments or vocal applications.

FAQs
What type of power supply does the UC200 require?
The UC200 can be powered by a 9V battery or a standard 9V DC power supply with a positive center, negative sleeve (e.g., Behringer PSU-SB or compatible adapter).
Can I use the UC200 with keyboards or other instruments?
Yes, while optimized for guitar, the UC200 can be used with other line-level instruments. You may need to adjust gain staging on your amplifier or mixer accordingly.
How do I achieve a stereo effect with the UC200?
Connect both the 'OUTPUT A' and 'OUTPUT B' jacks to separate amplifiers or the inputs of a stereo effects unit or mixer. Adjust the 'Level' control to blend the effect.
Is the wireless microphone system included with the UC200?
No, the Behringer ULTRALINK ULM Series wireless microphone system is sold separately and is required to use the wireless functionality.
What is the difference between 'Depth' and 'Rate' on the UC200?
'Rate' controls the speed of the chorus modulation, while 'Depth' controls the intensity or range of the modulation, affecting how pronounced the thickening effect is.
Can I use the UC200 in a pedal chain with other effects?
Yes, the UC200 can be placed anywhere in your pedal chain. Experimenting with its position (e.g., before or after overdrive/distortion) can yield different tonal results.
What is the warranty period for the UC200?
Please refer to the official Behringer website or your point of purchase for the most current warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
No sound output
Ensure a power source is connected (battery or AC adapter). Check all cable connections between the guitar, pedal, and amplifier. If using stereo outputs, ensure both are connected or try using the mono output.
Weak or distorted sound
Verify that the 'Level' knob is set appropriately. Check the battery or power supply for sufficient power. Ensure the input signal from the guitar is not too hot for the pedal's input stage.
Chorus effect is not noticeable
Increase the 'Depth' and 'Rate' controls gradually. Ensure the 'Level' knob is set to mix the effect in properly. Try using stereo outputs for a more pronounced stereo effect.
Hum or buzz
Check all cable connections for proper shielding. Try using a different power supply or ensure the battery is fresh. If using multiple pedals, consider power supply isolation or a noise gate.
