Behringer Minifex FEX800 User Manual

MINIFEX FEX800 User Manual

Our ultra-compact stereo multi-effect processor is a useful addition to any set-up: 

You get 16 fantastic effects presets in 24-bit quality, including reverb, delay, 

chorus, flanger, phaser, rotary speaker, pitch shifter and other multi-effects. 

Thanks to the intuitive FX preset control with its LEDs displaying the currently 

selected program, nothing could be easier than operating the FEX800. What is 

more, a variety of edit and tap/select functions allows you to modify the effect 

parameters extensively. A high-precision, 6-digit LED display can be used to 

accurately set the stereo input level. 
Further features are the handy Mix Balance and Output Level controls for precise 

effect level setting, as well as an additional footswitch connector for easy 

enabling/disabling of effects.
The FEX800 will take your music productions to a higher level!

Fig. 2.1: Front panel control elements of the FEX800

(1) 

The two LED displays show the effect preset currently selected. One LED is 

assigned to each preset.

(2) 

Use the PRESETS control to select one of the 16 effect presets.

(3) 

The EDIT control allows you to edit one effect parameter. The center position 

corresponds to the default setting programmed for the preset.

(4) 

The TAP/SELECT button performs two functions:

TAP (tempo entry): Hit the button several times in the tempo of the music 

piece to adapt the delay time of presets 9 and 15 or the modulation speed of 

presets 10-12. The button starts flashing in the corresponding tempo.  

SELECT (additional effect parameter): Press this button to choose 

between two different effect characteristics when using presets 1-8, 13-14, 

16. When the button lights up this means that the corresponding parameter 

of the selected preset has been activated.

(5) 

Use the INPUT LEVEL control to adjust the input signal level. Please be sure 

to set a level that is sufficiently high but does not overload the unit.

(6) 

The L + R LED display is for monitoring the input level. It comprises 6 LEDs. 

When the CLIP LED lights up, this indicates that digital distortion may 

occur at the input of the FEX800. In this case, the input signal level must 

be reduced.

(7) 

Use the MIX BALANCE control to adjust the ratio of original vs. effect signal. 

Turn the control fully to the right to hear only the processed effect signal. 

Turn it fully to the left to hear only the unprocessed input signal.

(8) 

The IN/OUT button enables/disables the effect signal. The button lights up 

when the input signal is being processed by the FEX800. In order to hear the 

processed signal you have to set a suitable ratio of effect vs. direct signal 

using the MIX BALANCE control

.

(9) 

Use the OUTPUT LEVEL control to adjust the output level.
