Hi Folks,
BEFORE you bite - I did a search & nothing came up for this unit.
I recently bought a UO100 Octaver. It wasn't exactly up to the promo but for the AU$39 it did the job expected EXCEPT I couldn't get it to work with a transformer/power pack.
3 transformers, 3 different connectors - reversed each to check polarity issues, 2 amps, 2 guitars, three leads & batteries were used to test the thing.
With the correct polarity & all other things equal the signal path worked perfectly with my BO100 BUT produced a loud HUM/BUZZ with the UO100.
With a battery there was NO PROBLEM.
I sent the UO100 back & was posted a replacement. Guess what? Yeah, you guessed!
EXACTLY the same problem. So much so that I thought it may be the same pedal repackaged.
I don't want to Behringer bash - enough of that around already & I do have 3 items by them that work rather well.
Can anyone diagnose, offer a prognosis for or recount a similar set of circumstances with the item or a B product?
Cheers

It's always a good idea to write down the serial number any gear you are returning, just in case the dealer accidently (or deliberately) sends you the same gear back. It has happened to me.
