Behringer Vintage Time Machine VM1

analog delay which technology seems COMPLETELY pumped on electro harmonix

UTILIZATION

not really need a manual

SOUND QUALITY

the quality of the effect is pretty good, it is a pleasant surprise
I use essentially the same for the guitar if a spatial effect of this type can be used on many other instruments
the vibrato function geniale

OVERALL OPINION

bought new 1 year ago, I do not regret my purchase

j uses of other delays (DD3 Delay VST)

The pros: the analog delay
price
the overall rendering
the -: do not abuse it
fragile buttons

Analog output directly out (works even without power supply) effect out, input, inter-off on this is good.
Beautiful machine, it was the place comes with power supply, 55 roros go figure ...

I use it as delay, chorus is not bad and the vibrato is superb. I do not know if you can combine the effects.

About 550ms max delay, it is measurable in all registers, you can even push the much stronger global level at the entrance.

The highlight is the live release out, I use it to power a second time machine on a second amp, I have a stereo ping-pong hell!

UTILIZATION

It is very simple but complete trimming time delay is measurable (I can do my very accurate ping-pong).

For clicks engagement I do not really know what time it is at home.

I have a tandem (before amp input) for home stereo, and a third for the local loop on Ampeg GVT52-112 or bugera 1990.

It thus emerges in all situations.

SOUND QUALITY

I had the RE20 boss is ugly beside the vm1.
As analog delay I had the memory of toy eh, who seemed longer and more open sound. If an analog echo artec, too short and problematic in its connection.

I think it is a good delay, in that it is hot and not too clean, and guitar benefits does it suffer through it.
The time is just long enough to not be in trouble ...

Not seem to have sound like hiss or crackle residues, yet I put the volume behind.

This is very different from a digital delay, and not only in rehearsals.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been quite some time I use these devices, none raised the slightest concern. Must say that it comes with the power supply not cover a lot of potential damage.

On vm1 dedicated to the loop of the amp I put a tuner on the direct out, it's great practice as it is not its food (and the amp in standby does not cut the sound in the loop) .

Frankly I see no negatives, given the typical side effect and especially its ridiculous price.

Fun fact, the delays I use are the vm1 and small VD400 brand, I love their sound.
So my other critters are in the closet, and it makes a small package ...

Like the Deluxe Memory Man Electro-Harmonix, which this pedal is supposed to be a copy. prs one thing: it feeds with a standard voltage (but even when reoit with an adapter, it's nice).
Small point, in my LED (blue) does not really s'teint. It is just a lot brighter when the pedal is active.
Ah, another dtail, the bypass is strange: the delay runs constantly, it simply does not hear when the pedal is active. In concrete terms, has meant that when you turn the pedal, you still hear the echo of what you Were playing while the pedal engages n'tait yet ( unless feedback is obviously very short). It is not normal, but it's not really Dranga either.

UTILIZATION



MDA as the pedal require a little getting used to. This problem arises because it takes longer to find the "sweet spots", especially with the volume pot of wet / dry mix. Indeed, things are very dark, so they'll be heard you have to push the mix (above unity gain, in fact), but at the same time the time the adborde a bit low and gets a little muddy, so it's a choice to make. Personally, I prefer to push the mix until about 3am. Also, the knob to the modulation depth application be pushed further if one uses the tremolo (very discreet compartment MDA and faster too), and be brought back to beginners switches if you use the chorus.
Note also that the time dlai is significantly longer than the DMM.

Rglages default for me: level 12, 3am mix, feedback and vibrato 12h 3h.



SOUND QUALITY

I will not comment on the bypass or transparency, because I really did not blunder a. If your very picky about these issues, it is probably best to avoid that mark in any calf. Let the heart of the subject;

The sound is really special. First thing, is not really sounds not at all like the Deluxe Memory Man (who is my prfr delay. The sound of the MMD is really enough for a full and Dfine analog delay ( I think), which approximates the a bit of a tape echo. This is something that is part of his personality. This Behringer is, however, very very lo-fi. There a kind of saturation a bit rotten about the repetition, them-selves very dark. It is far from the "lushness" of the Electro-Harmonix, and really means it is a p dale cheap. *

OVERALL OPINION

Yet even when there is a big something that the DMM is in this pedal, although I do not know exactly what to say. And most importantly, despite (or thanks to Plutt) default on which I insist, it has a sacred personality. The ct lo-fi, a little pourrave is really great for carpet-cho rverbe like "I'm lost in space". To beginners, I have not hooked but eventually, I'm with rconcili just before ... dbarrasser me the benefit of a friend. Indeed, this is not my type of delay, things are too dark for me.

N'empche it's a nice pedal even when. I recorded a sample far too long, especially the destination INTERESTED (and others if they want, it has that I decided to post this review in fact ), but I already know that I rcouterai time for other me back a little in the atmosphere of this pedal.

* Now, I have not tried to send a higher voltage lev 9V adapter that comes with. When fed a delay with a voltage lower than prvu, the sound is more saturated and darker, yet on this pedal Premire pictures, he was so marked 18V, so I do not know . Finally, I would not try, we know what we risk.
