For the money, this pedal can't be beat - low noise, excellent sound, more options than most would ever need, plus dual inputs and outputs. It will take some time playing with the knobs to find out everything it's capable of doing. In my particular application, I've found it works better in the effects loop rather than between the guitar and amp. I mainly use it for a slap back delay to thicken my sound. I'm not really into wild echo effects, but it will do them. In fact, this thing will do way more than I will ever ask of it. I probably could have gotten away with a simple digital delay, but for the price, I figured what the hell... I bought it to replace my mid 80's DOD Digital Delay and so far I'm pleased. I'd say the sound is as good or better than the old DOD, plus more versatility. Okay, now the bad news - It's made of plastic and I'm not sure how well it will hold up. I think it will be alright for the studio, part-time "weekend warrior" or the bedroom musician. However, I'd be cautious about taking it on the road. Then again, they're cheap enough to keep a spare or two around should something happen. Like most delays, this thing eats batteries in a hurry. You will definately want an AC adapter, which if you don't already have, you'll have to buy seperately. It uses the same connection as Boss and Digitech. So, finding an adapter or plugging it into your board shouldn't be a problem. The only other issue has nothing to do with the pedal itself. That is, the documentation is a little sketchy. If you're not familiar with delays, you may have to do a little research to understand some of the terminology and learn the function of a delay. Otherwise, plug it in, start turning knobs, and see what happens.Read full review
I like to experiment with and try out lots of effects pedals, and delay lines are always fun - so I thought I'd give the Echo Machine a try. For approximately $40 it's not a bad unit. Has a decent amount of head room, so you don't have to worry too much about overloading the circuit. The sound quality of the effect is fine, and completely useable, though not great or pro level. Not that you would expect it to be, considering the price. The modulation options are nice to have, although, like many other such pieces, a little goes a long way, and most of the modulation range isn't very musical. The tiny knobs are tricky to use. The main delay type knob doesn't have indentations so you have to watch for a quick flash of the light to indicate that you've switched modes. Tap tempo is always a nice useful feature and this one's got it. Reverse echo, Sweep mode, Ducking, etc.= a lot of features. Apparently this is a copy of a similar Line6 unit, which I haven't tried, but I can say it's nowhere near heavy duty road worthiness and professional quality of the Line6 Delay Moddler - although, again, at about one sixth the price you shouldn't expect it to be. For a mid-level player who likes to experiment and doesn't mind tweaking some tiny knobs this is a good buy.Read full review
I'm a fan of this series of Behringer effects pedals because they are affordable for anyone on a budget who would would like to try out a certain type of effect and expieriment with it but not want to invest several hundered dollars in a pedal that they won't use that much or may not like. They are made of heavy plastic and not metal, but still seem pretty durable. The sound quality is good, I have not noticed any muddy sound or tone drop to speak of. Overall my opinon is that this is a great entry level pedal but if you are a pro move along, these are not the droids you are looking for!
