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.
