Behringer Filter Machine FM600 User Manual

FILTER MACHINE FM600
Ultimate Filter Modeling Eects Pedal
Thank you for showing your condence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER FILTER MACHINE FM600.
This Filter Modeler delivers the whole range from funky auto-wah, twin, band-pass to swirling low-pass
lter eects—at the touch of a footswitch. Discover the world of moving lters and take o with sounds
you have never heard before.
1. Controls
(1) The FILTER switch is used to select one of three lter types (BP=Band Pass, TF=Twin Filter
band pass, LP=Low Pass), which deliver completely dierent sounds. Cut-o and center
frequencies respond to the dynamics of your playing.
(2) The SENS knob determines the sensitivity of the lter and hence the level at which the lter
frequency modulation starts to work.
(3) The PEAK knob is used to dene the shape of the lter from narrow to wide.
(4) The POL switch determines whether the lter frequency moves up to higher frequencies (UP)
or down to lower frequencies (DOWN) according to the dynamics of your playing.
(5) With the RANGE knob, you can alter the travel range of the lter frequency.
(6) The ON/BATT LED lights up, as soon as the eect is activated. Furthermore, you can check the
status of the battery.
(7) The footswitch is used for switching the eect on/o.
(8) The ¼" TS connector (IN) connects to your instrument.
(9) The ¼" TS connector (OUT) sends the signal to your amp/combo.
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 (not included), press the hinges with a ballpen and remove the pedal cover. Be careful not
to scratch the unit.
