Behringer EM600 Echo Machine

Ok this is what's its about, yes its amazing, very cool and self oscillating, modulation tape sounding delay, love the sound, I have the echo park and they sound the same. One problem with this pedal is the if you set the pedal above to 100% wet so there is only delay and then switch the pedal off, the sound does not bypass and so there is silence. The echo park does not do this, and there is sound when bypassed. So same sound, but this one thing makes it not so useful live, Its solid and the switches are well made, if your looking for a delay, this eats everything up apart from the line6 forget the boss or anything else. has to be 10, because its got the sound.

Wow....lots of options here. I like it more than my old boss dd-5 i use to have. the manual is useless, so it takes a few minutes to figure out what all the settings are. took off points for the manual.

Sounds great. I did notice a VERY small amount of added noise in the signal. It's really small, and not really noticeable unless you are listening for it, but the pedal is not dead quiet like my true bypass pedals are. But in good news, the tape and analog settings sound great! The digital setting is fine, too, but the others have more personality. Lots of options too. there is a setting for a dotted eight, so you can get the edge's delay sound pretty easily.

it's a big battery drain. A brand new battery ran for an hour a day for 3 days and it was dead. made of cheap plastic....i dont expect it to last too long.

pretty good pedal. it's a good buy for the money. overall, cheap plastic casing, bad battery life, but sounds great.

as the first reviewer notes, this seems to be aplastic cased clone of the line 6 echo park. very easy to use, with some lovely delay variations and the tap tempo function is very, very, very useful.
the manula is a sheet of paper with pretty much NO information on it, so not so good there.

i use it after a boss tu-2, digitech screamin blues and bad monkey overdrives and the new behringer rotary machine pedal (a review will follow for that soon).

as it has 3 delay sounds (digital, analog, tape) that can be used with any of the delay times/types, it immediately steps past the marshall echohead (which i still use, but not as much anymore). the mod dial means you can dial in vibrato (on the digital and analog settings) or wow and flutter on the tape echo. these go from fairly cool and useful to plain daft, depending where the dial is. add to that a LOt of delay options, from ducking to reverse to two different types of multi delay, and this pedal starts to get really fun really fast.

the backward echo in conjuction with tap tempo is easily as good as the boss me-50's equivalent, which i used to use.

there's no hiss or anything, which has been the case with some of the older behringer pedals. it can self-oscillate really well also, which is very cool.

also, the sweep delay is very funny. like a wah/envelope filter effect as well as delay. maybe not 100% useful, but still cool.

people always go on about behringer pedals beign made of plastic and that they'l break them if the breathe on them, but i've never had a problem. if you're that worried about it, have a little self-discipline and watch where you're treading. or just eat less, fat***!

i emailed them to ask when this pedal was due out, and got a friendly and accurate response within 24 hours. very good.

i play pretty standard rock-and-roll, from the '50s to nowadays. well, maybe not so much from nowadays, most of it sucks! this pedal fits right in (using the tape setting, of course) and if it were stolen or lost or whatever, i'd buy another one straight away. it compares very favourably to any other delay i've used, including boss, just because it's so packed with features you can control - the opportunity to dictate how much wow and flutter you get on tape echo makes it worth the money alone, as does the tap tempo function.

on the whole, it has enough features to keep you amused for months, and the sound quality is excellent. Behringer have really upped their game by starting to clone Line 6 stuff as well as boss.

Good stuff!

Pretty easy to use. The manual is minimal, but if you can figure out the Line 6 Echo Park, you can figure this out, since it's an exact clone of it.

As far as I can tell, this is a dead-nuts Line 6 Echo Park clone. I really enjoy the tape echo simulation and the analog simulation. Tap tempo is a great feature, and the backwards and swell modes are fun. I wish there were a way to slow down the volume swells, though - they're a bit fast.

Anyway, like the real Line 6, there are lot of gimmicky things that you'll probably never use (like sweep mode), but the regular stuff that's in there is really nice. Especially the tape delay mode - the delayed tones are really beautiful. A really nice setting is taking it to 100% wet, no repeats, minimum delay time, on tape mode, and then turning up the wow/flutter. What a great sound, especially with some pitch vibrato in front.

It's plastic, but it seems fairly solid. We'll see.

At $40, this is a great value. Basically, if you always wanted to try a Line 6 Echo Park, but didn't want to spend $150 on a new one, this is for you. I hope it lasts a long while - they certainly cut some corners on the enclosure, but the actual sound quality is great.
