The classic '90s envelope filter pedal and portable analogue synthesizer with dual DCO oscillators arrive in Australia this February.
Behringer has announced two new products heading to Australia in February 2026: the Meatball envelope filter pedal and the UB-1 Micro portable analogue synthesizer. Both products bring classic tones and features into compact, affordable formats.

The Meatball pedal will be serving up some tasty sounds, recreating the classic ’90s envelope filter pedal that made funk and fusion guitarists fall in love with quacky, expressive wah tones. Envelope filtering responds directly to how you play: if you dig in harder, the filter opens up. Play softer, and it pulls back. Built with analogue circuitry for warm, organic sound, the pedal features auto-triggering that engages the filter as you play—no footwork required.
Control options include a sensitivity knob that adjusts the filter’s response to match your playing style and instrument, a resonance control that modifies the filter’s peak for unique tonal textures, and a blend control that lets you mix dry and filtered signals for precise tone shaping. True bypass maintains pristine signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged, keeping your core tone intact when you’re not using the effect.
Behringer’s UB-1 Micro is coming, too—a portable analogue synth that packs serious sound into a small package. Built around the legendary 3396/3397 analogue chip design found in the Oberheim Matrix 6/1000, the UB-1 Micro features dual DCO oscillators, a sub oscillator, noise generator, and a classic four-pole filter. It’s a programmable synth with 16 touch-sensitive keys for playability on the go.
It comes loaded with 32 Ultimate Patches sound presets, with easy expansion available through the SynthTribe app. An arpeggiator with three patterns and a hold function adds rhythmic possibilities, while individual envelopes for VCF and VCA give you creative control over sound shaping. Two powerful LFOs control filter and oscillator tuning, opening up modulation options for evolving sounds. For such a tiny design, it really packs a punch.
Navigation is straightforward thanks to six function buttons and an OLED display that both provide immediate parameter editing without deep menu diving. Despite its compact size, the UB-1 Micro delivers the warmth and character of classic analogue synthesis with the portability that many modern musicians long for.
These pieces of gear reflect Behringer’s approach of bringing classic gear and sounds into accessible formats. The Meatball envelope filter pedal retails for $199 AUD, while the UB-1 Micro synth comes in at $119 AUD, and both will be available in Australia from February 2026.
