This is a clone of the Boss DM-3 analog delay pedal made around 1983 to 1985 (ish). It is a true analog delay which copies the circuit design in as many respects as it can without being issued a lawsuit. I understand that the long extinct Panasonic chip which lies at the heart of the DM-3 sound has been reproduced. As with most, if not all Behringer pedals it uses tiny SMD components instead of the original full size parts. The only downside of this would be it very difficult to repair or modify, but even so-called 'boutique' pedals such as my Heptode phaser pedal use this technology and as far as my ears can tell it has no negatives on the sound..

I bought this to add to my growing collection of cheap pedals. For what it costs, it's actually quite good, but caveats exist.The feel of the pedal is vague. This is probably because the switch is a micro-switch activated by a plug of rubber. Positive actuation would squish the switch through the PCB. The battery is mounted under the pedal lid, and I'm sure the pedal lid squishes it or affects the activation.Yes, yes yes. O.K, here we go. It is made of plastic. And?. This is tough stuff. The method of battery changeout is detailed elsewhere and all I have to add to that is check the lugs are fully engaged then you won't join the ranks of Behringer haters whose pedal top popped off after they,

As an experienced pro musician I have more than one pedal board all filled with pro standard pedals that are well known to muso's. It's no secret that these pedals are not cheap. What you are paying for is the performance of these units.So why did I give a budget delay unit 5 stars?These Behringer pedals are incredible value for money. If you are a newcomer to playing guitar then you want to try out various fx and see how they can fit your style, and what can you do with them once you have one. Behringer allow students and home players the chance to experiment with an effect that isn't a huge wad of money. I have put together a budget board of fx to take to mates jamming sessions or open nights at the pub.

I bought this to use with my Arturia Synthesizer. As it is an analogue synth it deserves an analogue delay. It saya Vintage delay which I assume to be analogue. It certainly sounds great. But beware to unplug the jacks at the peddle end otherwise it will remain powered up and flatten your battery whilst the peddle is not in use. The peddle can also be powered on the mains electricity with a suitable 9V power adapter. The instructions do not say whether it's centre negative plug or centre positive plug maybe it doesn't matter. I used it with a centre negative and it worked. It is quite possible that the power socket has a bridge rectifier input which would make the polarity irelavent.The three knobs from left to right control the repeat rate,

Basic delay pedal.Some reviewers have stated that it's great for "Shadows" effects but I owned and played through a Meazzi Factotum in the early sixties. I believe that was the Echo that Joe Brown loaned to Hank for Apache.As far as I remember I could get two different rates of delay at the same time.It's a long time ago but we played 18 Shadows' numbers in a gig.This pedal is fine for what it is and I use it with reverb but still don't get the repeats as in the muted part of "Wonderful Land". I'm not complaining.I would still give this pedal 5 stars but it's not a Meazzi Factotum.

I love behringer gear. Not once have i had a pedal that is faulty or that ive pressed and the sheer weight of my almighty giant foot has crushed the pedal! They are sturdy and do the job. You get what you pay for and not in a bad way. If you want reverse and lots more control ten buy a pedal with all these gadgets, this is a really good pedal for a really good price. I recieved it earlier than expected as well and at a reall really good price. Well chuffed with this delay.

Yes its really cheap, but its not cheap and nasty. Yes if you spend £100+ you could get something much better, it depends how much better you are looking for. I use this pedal with a Doepfer A-100 modular analogue synth system. As the pedal is analogue it adds that warm fuzzy tone to the modular. The new digital delays are great but are too harsh with analogue synths. Try one, if you don't like it then send it back to Amazon, you have nothing too lose.

This is a 5 star product based on the priceWhat can I say? Firstly the delay and sound this creates is as good as a £100 delay. Ive owned many and this really is up there with them!Ive used this for 8 months and has served me well and the plastic casing is strong so i wouldn't really let that worry you unless you jump on your pedals to switch them on.Dont be a pedal snob and save yourself some cash this really is a great little pedal

A nice analogue delay with a number of settings - sounds like a far more expensive analogue delay pedal (check you tube) It does have a plastic body but appears fairly robust and is great fun to play with. As I'm not off on a world tour with a supergroup it will be fine for my needs!

Had one of these before and ended up selling it after buying a memory man. I'm now building a cheap bass board and need an analog delay with a dry out. Straight to the vd400! This one seems a lot more sturdy and less plasticy than I remember... Can only be a good thing.

Works well. Good delay response and easily varied. Bought another make for similar money and returned it as couldn’t speed up delay enough. This is absolutely fine. And it runs off my mains adapter so no need to worry about batteries - though it can run on batteries.

I have an acoustic running through 2 mics to the amp. 1 mic looks after the acoustic guitar and the other is fed through the Behringer pedal. This is cheaper and just as effective as a dedicated voice delay. The lot is fed through a mixer to the amp

I bought it to play rockabilly which does quite well. It didn't come with any instructions in English but it is a simple device and after a few minutes of expeiments with the controls soon gets it sounding good. Very good value for the money.

another cheap Behringer pedal: less than £20 i paid. and does exactly what it's supposed to. you can get some really good echo/delay effects with this....although the casing is plastic rather than metal it's still pretty sturdy

I was hoping for something with much longer delays in a pink floid style. product is well made and cheep and if you want to play country or the shadows works well. if you want to sound like dave Gilmore, buy something else.
