Behringer Digital Delay DD400

The Behringer DD400 Digital Delay is a pedal that will most often be seen for use with electric guitar, but suitable for use with any electronic instrument. Behringer obviously had the Boss DD series of digital delay pedals in mind here. The pedal has ¼” connections for input and for two outputs, one of which is supposed to be for sending a direct signal out, but of course can be used in any capacity that you choose. The pedal can be powered by either a nine volt battery or power supply and isn’t rack mountable in any way.

UTILIZATION

Using the Behringer DD400 Digital Delay pedal didn’t prove to be too difficult for me, as I found it to be pretty self explanatory from the get go. The parameters that it has to work with are for level, feedback, and time, as well as a mode parameter which gives you seven points to choose from to set the amount of delay you want to set in terms of milliseconds. One of these includes a ‘hold’ setting, and there are actually two of each amount on here, ranging from 200 ms to 1300 ms. This make up is definitely reminiscent of a Boss pedal, and the DD series of Boss pedals in particular. A manual shouldn’t be necessary for most users, but again most users of the DD400 will probably be beginners.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the Behringer DD400 Digital Delay is about average. It isn’t anything to write home about, but at the same time isn’t as bad sounding as the other Behringer guitar pedals that I’ve used. This is good enough sounding to give you some basic delay sounds, but there isn’t enough flexibility to make it a complete delay pedal. It certainly sounds digital, and often times stale. Based on sound, I’d only recommend it to the user looking to get started with delay.

OVERALL OPINION

While the price of the Behringer DD400 Digital Delay will be enough to attract many customers, if you’re an experienced player the sound of the pedal most likely won’t be adequate for you. I’d really only recommend it for beginners and/or those who want to get their feet wet with delay and don’t have much money at all to spend on a pedal. I would however, encourage those interested to check out some of the Boss pedals that this is so obviously modeled after, as for a little more money you can get the real deal…

This is a simple digital delay pedal, with 1 input and 2 output (therefore usable in mono or stereo). Runs on 9V battery or power supply.

It is plastic, so it may seem rather fragile at first sight ... But once it has been in the hands it seems relatively strong.

The manual is completely useless (except perhaps to use the "Tap Delay", and indeed it is delivered in English and Chinese ... The French version is available for download on the site!

I put 8 in the somewhat "cheap" ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very comprehensive and yet very simple!

1 volume knob, a knob "feedback" to adjust the number of repetitions, a knob "mode" to set the time between each repetition (200ms, 500ms, 1300) and a knob "time" to adjust more precisely the length repetitions.

It also has a function "tap delay" which easily allows to adjust the time between each repetition tempo by tapping on the pedal ...

As against the LED eyes a little fart ... : P

SOUND QUALITY

I use a Cort G250 with a Fender Frontman 15W amp (low end of what) ...

I was waiting for that price, that it makes a lot of breath and yet ... it proves to be very quiet!

The effects are good, even if it's my first pedal and I can not compare it satisfies me!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days, and I am very satisfied!

Most:
<ul> - Wide range of settings
- Quality of the effects
- Mode "Tap Delay" and stereo
- The price! </ul>

The -:
<ul> - Plastic, look "cheap"
- LED (slightly) too bright </ul>

It has almost no flaws, and frankly for this award should really not hesitate!

I know there are plenty of people who complain about the reliability and robustness of products Behringer ... In fact I was one, until I tested this pedal! I won, I intend to also give me a 100% Behringer p'tit pedalboard when I have some money (I am a student: p)

a copy of the pedals boss

UTILIZATION

plastic case
transformer / adapter recognized randomly (you need a transformer Berhinger, its a universal does not
battery that can take only one hour maximum
switch on off effect who does as he pleases

SOUND QUALITY

To make the noise that's fine, drop the distortion for a very dirty you need a digital delay

OVERALL OPINION

really cheap
but really bad
a pale copy of the Boss
The sound of the pedal is cool (depending to which it is desired)
but the case is just too rotten to power the pedal it takes courage to have full battery, full of different transformer and a lot of time to try to turn it on.
after must pass the turn off, get stuck in concert already no way to turn it off.


even if it is cheap, prfrable to 40/50euro and more in an effects pedal. In addition it is inrevendable.

It's a digital delay everything there is more classic, see the website for details of Behringer pedal.
Please do not connect any power supply above. I plugged a universal power supply and above all that to screw up. Now I can no longer be fed by battery and is turned on or off the LED flashes constantly!

A 6 / 10 for the fragility of the PSU.

UTILIZATION

I use it almost with a volume pedal to violonning effects, it is a very good job.
Although the case appears fragile, true it is not.

SOUND QUALITY

As stated above I'm using it exclusively. To Swell volume effects, this pedal is great! I also add that this is my first delay pedal, so I do not support points for constructive criticism.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months now, and she "dropped" from the first use because of the PSU, however apart from this problem led, it works perfectly.

+ The price / quality very good price on this model (28 € at Thomann)
+ The sound suitable

- Pedal fragile in terms of food, do not use anything
- The power LED! I am obliged to put tape over his power to mitigate, not a myth, it really shines a lot!

The final word is that now I would avoid the behringer pedals. Although the range of model is very interesting, these effects are too fickle when it works the first time, it will ... but if the contrary, it frequently.
