Behringer Dynamic WAH DW400 User manual

Thank you for showing your condence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER DYNAMIC WAH DW400.
This eects pedal delivers a variety of wah eects including a Human Voice mode creating an
unbelievable “talking” sound. Experience exciting new sounds!
1. Controls
(1) Select the eect mode via the MODE switch:
UP: Creates a Wah eect. The lter moves
upwards (from low to high frequencies).
DOWN: Creates a Wah eect. The lter
moves downwards.
SYNTH: A stronger upward Wah eect with
a synth-like resonance lter sound.
HUMAN VOICE: Turns your instrument
signal into the sound of a human voice.
The sound alters between 2 selectable
vowel sounds and adds slight overdrive.
TEMPO: Auto Wah. Tap in the tempo via
foot switch (10) or external foot switch.
(2) SENS determines the eect sensitivity,
depending on the input level. In HUMAN
VOICE mode, it selects the rst vowel.
In TEMPO mode, this control has
no function.
(3) The MANUAL control determines the wah
eects’ lowest frequency. In HUMAN VOICE mode, it selects the second vowel. In TEMPO mode,
this control has no function.
(4) The DECAY control determines how quickly the lter is shifted. In TEMPO mode, you can shape the
LFO waveform from Sine (min) to Square wave (max).
(5) The ¼" TRS EXP/CTL connector can be used to connect two dierent types of pedals:
• Use an expression pedal for Wah pedal functionality (for all modes).
• Use an external foot switch instead of the pedal foot switch ((10)) to tap in the eect time
(in Tempo mode only).
(6) Use the ¼" TS GTR IN connector to plug in a guitar. Use either input (6) or (7).
(7) Use the ¼" TS BASS IN connector to plug in a bass guitar. If you use this input, the lter parameters
are optimized for bass signals. With a cable in input (6), this input has no function.
(8) The ¼" TS OUT connector sends the signal to your amp or other eects devices.

(9) The ON/BATT LED illuminates when the eect is activated. It also serves as a battery
level indicator. If the Tap function is active, the LED ashes.
(10) Use the foot switch to activate/deactivate the eect. When pressing the foot switch 2 seconds
or longer, you can tap in the Auto Wah eect time (ON/BATT LED ashes).
Use the DC IN connection at the front of the unit to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included).
The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located underneath the pedal cover. To install or replace the 9 V battery,
press the hinges with a ballpen and remove the pedal cover. Be careful not to scratch the unit.
◊ The DW400 has no On/O switch. It is operable as soon as you insert a plug into the
IN connector. Disconnect the plug, if you don’t use the DW400. In doing so, you can
extend the life time of the battery.
The SERIAL NUMBER is located at the underside.
◊ In rare cases interferences of the normal function may appear by external inuence
(e.g. electrostatic discharge), as for example sound disturbances or malfunctions.
If this occurs, please turn down the volume on subsequent ampliers and disconnect
the input connector briey to restart the application.
