Behringer Digital Delay Dd400 Digital Stereo Delay/Echo Effects Pedal

This unit is one of Behringer"s better units. It's really a clone of a Boss delay pedal. Nice delays and the tap tempo feature is really a nice feature for a pedal in this price range. Only draw back is the plastic construction.Probably wouldn't hold up to serious gigging, but for my studio, fine.

So happy to have gotten the new pedal for such a great price. When it arrived it was packaged well and everything looked ok. Upon opening, the rubber foot pad immediately fell off...and when i plugged in the pedal for usage, only one setting of the dial worked as it seemed the others were shorting out. Not cool getting a product that doesnt function.

This is essentially the same review I will give for any Behringer product. These pedals are decently made, but they ARE plastic. That's fine, they stand up well enough to normal use. If you're a stomper, get a BOSS pedal. That said, they produce a great sound. Whatever you do, get a decent power supply if you're going to build a train with behringer pedals in them. The 1-step power supply with these pedals will cause a very strong buzz in your signal. It's not subtle.

havent used the pedal in a while, replaced the batteries and went to play and it didnt work. i have upgraded to a more expensive model of delay and loop pedal. for the time this pedal worked it was well worth it.

Pretty much a straight up clone of the Boss pedal- and a decent one at that. Not the bulletproof construction of the boss to be sure, but all the functions are the same. This is not true bypass but neither is the Boss. I have not experienced the tone-suck or buzzing that others have complained about. Mine worked flawlessly out of the box and does a great job thickening up my leads in a Gilmour or EJ way. Is this the best digital delay on the market? Surely not, but it's the best cheap one. The pedal features up to 2 seconds of delay and a tap tempo function, however the instructions do not tell you how to engage the tap function(hold the pedal down). Believe me, you figure it out at this price point. If you want to spend double the price ($70- still cheap for a delay~), I would suggest the Ibanez DE7. Incidentally- this pedal- like any other digital delay or digital reverb- will EAT batteries. It's what they do, and is not a flaw related to this specific pedal. Invest in a daisy chain (SPOT or the like...) If you have a pedal train with multiple stomp boxes and you are running them via 9 volt it's a no-brainer.

This Behringer DD400 delay unit has a lot of great features. I particularly like the stereo outputs which allow the user to send the delayed signal to a separate amplifier for a dramatic stereo effect. The extra-long 1300 millisecond delay is great for Pink Floyd/David Gilmour style solos. The shorter delay settings allow for rockabilly slap back effects, although I hardly ever play in that style, so it doesn't matter that much to me.Here's where it gets weird: I tested the unit using a vintage Fender tube amp for the primary signal and a Vox Valvestate amp for the delayed signal. As long as I played loudly, everything worked quite well. However, when I set the guitar down for a moment, I started hearing voices. Yes, voices! The delay unit was picking up radio frequency interference a la Jimi Hendrix at Berkeley. I have no idea HOW it was doing this, but I could clearly hear some sort of radio transmission like CB or family band radio. The interference went away after a few minutes.As for design, I don't buy the "German innovation" advertising line from Behringer. This is obviously a cheap Chinese copy of the legendary Boss DD-7 which costs four times as much. If you want really good quality, buy the Boss unit! If you can get buy on a fairly cheap delay unit that talks to you from time to time, the Behringer is ok.

I'm very impressed with this pedal. First of all, there is very little noise whether the effect is on or off. Long available delay times for a delay unit. If you need longer times you need a looper, not a delay. Easy to use and sounds very good to my ears. Stereo outputs and stereo delay functions if you need them. By the way, the unit looks white in the pictures but it is actually silver. It actually looks better than in the pictures. Only two negatives. One, the little blue led is super bright. I mean blindingly bright. You can't even see the knobs when it's on because you're blinded when you look down. Seriously, if the sun was blue, this is what it would look like. Maybe you can save on stage lighting because this led lights up the whole room. The second issue is that the power jack is on the side next to the audio input. It's a little more inconvenient than if the jack was on the top of the box. Neither issue matters very much and I'm actually thinking about getting a second one of these to use with different delay times. I can't believe you could buy three or four of these for what you would spend on just one of the more well-known delay pedals. I say try it and hear for yourself.

I bought 3 Behringer pedals in Nov 2010 and all were very poor quality. I returned the DOA volume pedal right away and bought an Earnie Ball. I tolerated the Behringer delay pedal's awful tone for 6 months--then the off-on foot switch stuck ON. The chorus still sorta works, but the effect randomly cuts in and out (very annoying).Don't waste your time and money on Behringer pedals. The price seems too good to be true, and it is.Based on these three bad experiences, I cannot recommend Behringer products for anything other than service as a paperweight. Meanwhile, the BOSS pedals I've owned for years, and the ones I recently purchased, all are excellent products.
