Description

Unlock a world of sonic exploration with the Behringer SM200 Slow Motion pedal, a must-have for any guitarist seeking to add a unique touch to their sound palette. This intuitive pedal effortlessly mimics the manual volume effects you love, without the hassle. Imagine dialing down your guitar's volume and slowly bringing it back up, creating a lush, swelling sound—or let the SM200 do it for you, filtering out the attack and smoothly amplifying your notes.

With its dedicated Attack and Sensitivity controls, you have the power to sculpt your sound from subtle swells to bold, orchestral crescendos, transforming your guitar into a violin, cello, or something entirely otherworldly.

Built with a rugged electronic On/Off switch, the SM200 ensures the highest signal integrity in bypass mode, keeping your tone pure when the effect is off. Whether you're powering up with a 9V battery or a Behringer PSU-SB DC power supply, this pedal is ready to take your creativity to the next level.

Great for learning left hand muting

It is not very good for post rock ambiance but it is great for fast playing where using volume pedal is not usable. Left hand muting is critical to control this effect so it is great for learning
