Behringer DD400

It was my first foray into delay pedals after using a Boss half rack digi delay, and happily it was all very similar, no surprises, and worked quite intuitively

does a good job of repeating and gives you sufficient options to get a good effect. more expensive pedals give a you a little more control or max length of delay, but for a cheap pedal in an expensive market, it does a good job. it even has a jaunty hold which i didn't expect there to be. when you max out the feedback and time to get a big noise wall, it fails to impress and goes incredibly tinny. now, i don't use flash equipment, i'm a bass player in a band, but i write songs for the band on guitar. my equipment is pretty low to moderate in quality, so i didn't expect this pedal to make much difference to the sound i make through my little amp. i was impressed until i recently got a true bypass analogue delay and hooked them up together. the suddenly realised the hiss that had always been there was the pedal and not my rubbish amp. i moved things about, tried things on there own and compared the sound. with the behringer in, the hiss was so obvious next to the true bypass pedal. so basically it's a decent, cheap effect that hisses too much, so i only use it at home and use better equipment with my band.

had it a few months, nice and solid, doesn't break when dropped by accident. it does however absolutely eat batteries. it is so power hungry that it's not reliable enough to use outside the bedroom.

i got this to experiment with my ideas, and i wanted a second delay to add to my boss half rack to layer up. it works okay clean and heavy, it delays okay, and it's good and cheap. it is however quite hissy through batteries (which seem to last about an hour in it) and power leads and because of this it does not compare favourably to other pedals that might not be too much more expensive. as i've said above, get it if you want a cheap jam pedal to play around with, but don't get it if you want a solid work horse. pay a bit more and you'll be a lot happier in the long run.

This is my first digital delay so it took me some time to get it right how to get a tone I like but it would be much easier if the manual is more detailed.It has 4 pots, LEVEL( like volume), FEEDBACK( amount of signal repetitions), TIME( delay time) and MODE( with 4 mods 200,500,1300 ms and Hold either for mono or stereo delay). In Hold position signal will be repeted constantly( you step on the pedal, play some short fraze than relase it and than it will be repeted foreever:)

I have yamaha pac 112, marshall JH-1 dist, ED-1 compressor, Cry Baby classic wah and amp Vox pathfinder 15r. DD 400 in most times work fine and makes no hum. BUT when it's on and I twisting the pots they makes a hum which get into the signal and make some buzz. I bought it mostly for Pink Floyd, U2 stuff and I can get satisfied sound for my setup

well it's plastic, but switch On/off is very sensitve so you don't need to step on it very hard and affraid to brek. If I have regular giggs a probbly buy some metal case pedal, but I use it only at home so there is no need fore anything better

I think that's really good deal for the price.
What I hate about this pedal from the very first moment I switched on, is blue LED that's so bright that when U R in a dark room U can't see pots on pedal. It's really horible, so I stick on some dark tape and now it's OK.

First thought when i got this is, ok it made of plastic but i dont stomp on my pedals very hard so im ok with it. I tried putting some velcro on the back over the sticker, mistake cuase it just ripped off, then tried putting some on the rubber and the whole rubber back came off, i did put some on the plastic on the back and it hasnt come off and i dont think it will so **If you are going to use velcro just take off the rubber on the back of the pedal**

Other than that the controls are very simple to use.

My Gear:
Fender Strat (MIM)
Peavey practice amp (15 watts)
Crate Flexwave Full Stack (at practice/gigs)
Pedalboard includes...(in order from left to right)
MXR micro amp (boost) - Behringer Delay - Boss Blues Driver - Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octave Fuzz - Dunlop Univibe - Vox Wah

It does add some hum when you turn it on but its nothing that can cuase any bad sounds, delay sounds great, still trying to figure out where to place it in my effects chain, it think last place (first pedal on the left, connected to amp then to effects) would be best.

As long as you dont stomp very hard on your pedals or throw it around it should be fine...**If using velcro take off the rubber on the back to save time and velcro**

Never had to deal with company...cheap pedals, if they break, get new ones.

I play Blues/Psychedelic/Classic Rock/60s Style...Hendrix, Floyd, The Doors, Cream, Grateful Dead, Santana...I've been playing for 3 years maybe and i've had my share of gear. I would Reccomend this pedal to anyone unless they want something sturdyer then i would reccomend Boss DD-3 or digitech delay, i've had the digidelay and its a great pedal too. It adds space and echoes to your music...need i say more?

Easy to use delay pedal, but directions could have been better.

Decent sound.. For the price. I mean the delay is perfect but the pedal itself is pretty noisy. In my pedal board, there was no hum until I added this pedal and now there is a slight hum. But I mean, it's hardly noticeable. Plus, once I switch this pedal on, there is a slight treble increase. Again, it's not very noticable. Good sound for the price overall.

Made out of plastic, but for 30 bucks. Just don't throw it down your steps, its not a boss or marshall.

Good pedal overall... A little noisy thats all. If you are just beginning to add pedals to your board, then hey give this one a shot. Has all the delay you need. Just a small small hum and little treble increase.

I don't like the time adjustment. There are no labeled increments on the time adjustment so you have to go by ear. I don't like the intensity of the blue LED. It blinds me when I'm trying to adjust the pedal. This is my first DD pedal.

I just bought a slew of Behringer gear. 5 Pedals, V Amp Pro, and direct box's. The DD 400 is fairly quiet until I drive it with a distortion pedal. Again this is my first DD. For the price it is definitely good enough for a beginner to intermediate player. People complain about Behringer pedals coloring there sound in stand by mode. If it's being tainted in standby mode I can't tell. I'm playing a Hamer Artist USA and Fender Strat USA through 7 pedals into a Peavey Classic 100W tube head and it sounds decent to me.

NA, It's a China product if it breaks through it away and buy another one.

Behringer has a web site with all there products. I think manuals are down loadable. However the manuals don't tell you anything the knobs don't already say.

The manual says it draws 90 mA. I measured mine and it draws 75 mA. I'm using an external power supply on all my pedals. My pedals are Ibanez Compressor/Sus, Behringer BO 100 Blues Overdrive, Behringer TO 100 Tube Overdrive, Behringer TO 800 Vintage Tube Overdrive, Behringer OD 100 Overdrive Distortion, DOD FX 68 Chorus, Behringer DD 400 Digital Delay. Pedals are not rocket science. Most are a simple OP Amp operation. The only thing I don't like is the plastic housing and the Made in China sticker. If you can get over that, my Behringer pedal line is pretty decent!

Four Knobs: Level, feedback, Time, and Mode. You can choose between 7 modes: 200ms,500ms, 1300ms in mono or the same in stereo plus a 1 second
"Hold" function which allows you to make a short loop.

one page manual with very few informations.

This model is the more recent version of the DD100

Provided you have a minimum knowledge about delay, very easy to use.

It's a digital delay, meaning you get an exact reproduction of the sound, plus I find it completely transparent.

I use it in the FX loop of my JCM900 with either an ibanez RG270 or a gibson SG with either a boss MT-2, or a behringer TO800 or a boss DS-1 in front, and it works like a charm.I bought this unit to finally enter the 21st century and add that subtle delay to get that wide, professional, modern sound.

I have tried a boss DD-3 which has a few more features but for just a delay I couldn't make the difference.

I've been using it for only two months now but the plastic seems to be resisatnt enough, however as on all beheringer pedal the switch is subtle so you have to be careful if you jump around on stage.

I would use it without a backup since it hasn't failed me so far.

never had a problem with it so I don't know about the customer support.

I bought this thing for 17euros(23dollars)new and I would recommand trying it before buying the "original" DD-3 which is ten times more expensive.

Amazing value for the money.
