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 read more delicate harmonic overtones that are critical to creating realistic harmonies and transpositions.

It's Easy
The US600 stomp box offers 5 totally different-sounding Modes: Tremolo Bar, Flutter, Detune, Harmonist and Pitch Shifter. 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 as well as Delay/Speed control and Balance to dial in how much effect you want to mix with a dry signal. A brilliant blue LED indicates power status and battery condition. The footswitch is 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 the Behringer 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!

I expect to be satisfied with this pedal for quite some time. I will obviously supplement it with other pedals, but I probably won't ever end up replacing this pedal.

Sound
The sound quality of this product is quite good. Hooking it up to my effects chain actually lowered the amount of noise I was getting, for some reason. It sounds like it should sound, as well. I don't really have any need for the harmony function, but you can make many different unique and interesting sounds if you play with the dials.

Features
It has all the features I need, especially given its price. I find the Tremolo arm simulation to be quite entertaining to mess with, and the Flutter mode makes it so you don't have to move your foot up and down to simulate a rapidly-moving tremolo arm. I do wish it had come with a power supply, but no pedal I've seen comes with one. An included battery would've been nice too, but you can't have everything, especially with a low-priced pedal.

Ease of Use
It's fairly easy to use, all the dials are labeled properly and clearly. Also, it has a reference chart for the Harmony setting printed right alongside the dials.

Quality
The product seems to have no quality-control issues, and doesn't feel prone to breakage. It his made out of plastic, however, and probably wouldn't stand up to being stomped on repeatedly. Strong enough for normal, reasonable read more use, but it's not a tank.

Value
Definitely worth what I paid for it. Compared to similar items, it's definitely a lot lower in price (with reasonably lower construction quality), but if you can't afford something ridiculously high-end, spring for this.

Manufacturer Support
I haven't needed to contact them.

The Wow Factor
It would appear to be something fun to play with, even if you're not using it to actually make music (try hooking it up to a keyboard), and it is. But it's also a practical tool to have.
