Behringer DD400 Pedal Customer Review

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It'll do. If it breaks, no big loss; I might get another, I might not. It'll probably just be a matter of whether it's convenient or not.

Sound
This is a damned hissy pedal. But it's a $30 delay. I plan on sticking this on my drum machine and rescuing my Ibanez DE-7 (which I love on my guitar) from it, so I'm not too too concerned. That being said, I am convinced that you can make some ridiculous sounds with this (even ridiculous for delay pedals).

Features
Would really be nice if it came with a decent power supply. It doesn't, of course, but that's the big thing with the flashing LED, so far as I can tell - using a crappy power supply doesn't do the job too well with it. Hooked up to my Godlyke Power-All supply, along with seven other pedals, it glows constant and fine. Hooked up to a cheap $4 9v 300mA one, it strobes and hisses even worse. I also wish the damned LED wasn't so friggin' bright! I can't see a thing when I look at it.

Ease of Use
The 'manual' is far from useful, and the 'mode' knob is ridiculous. You'd think for a seven-mode pedal it would click into seven different positions, right? Hell no! It just slides from one into the next. Okay, so you'd think then that you're controlling the delay time with that then, right? Nope! That is solely the domain of the 'time' knob. It doesn't seem to be working? Oh, you've got the mode button on 'hold'. How does hold work? Record read more a quick passage whilst holding down the switch (kinda Boss delay-like). How long can you loop with hold? No idea! Your hold loop is fading out? Huh? That doesn't sound right! Oh, feedback (repetitions) is not on full. That's silly. Oh, and speaking of knobs that don't really accurately describe their function, 'level' in mono (haven't tried stereo) should really be labelled 'blend'.

Quality
I am so confused by the decision regarding the mode knob. I am also convinced that I am going to break at least one knob off of this thing in a short time, because delays want you to fiddle with them constantly. They do not want you to set and forget! That being said, they feel much sturdier than the knobs on the Behringer CS100 compressor I bought at the same time.

Value
$30 for a delay. C'mon. Behringer is entirely about the value field.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't tried yet.

The Wow Factor
It's a $30 delay. I totally expected it to be worth $30. It's worth $30. $40 would be pushing it (but I'd probably still pay it). $50 would be crazy.
