VD400 Vintage Analog Delay Pedal, True Bucket Brigade Circuit for Warm Echo & Repeats, Grey Guitar Effects Stompbox for Studio & Live Use

This is a fantastic pedal from the German company. I bought one before this one, it did not break but I passed it on to someone else. I needed to get another delay pedal so trawled the net in search of another, not necessarily this one though. However after hours of reviews and videos I decided to get another Vintage VD400 such was my experience with my first one. Now we have an orange light instead of the bright blue one, much better. Apart from that the pedal seems better made than the last in particular the feel of the dials. The sounds from this ridiculously priced pedal are astounding at this price point, great echo, real warm delays and fabulous oscillation, nice and spacey does it.Anyone thinking this is a toy and is to cheap to be believed is mistaken. I have taken the last pedal to many raucous gigs, it has sat on my pedal table, yes table, fell of the table, been thrown around in boxes, bags and vans and still works to this day, I am sure this one will do the same. Reliable? Mine 100%. Would I play the O2 with it? Why not. In my opinion this is the best echo/delay pedal out there for the money and even more money. Don't believe me? Read and watch the reviews, then buy one before they decide to phase it out.

THIS EFFECT, SOUNDS GRET,EASY TO USE. VERY PLEASED

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, and this may be key to any reliability issues, stamp on the bloody thing as if they're roach-phobic and King Cockroach is within reach. Over stamping when run on external power may also kill the switch or detach/deform the rubber plug. Check for activation using just the pinkie ( owners will know what I mean as soon as you pop the lid ) first. I'm not fond on using a battery as a travel limiter. Sound wise. Well, I can't complain. It adds a little noise when switched in and a tad when just in the chain. True bypass?. Use Olde English vernacular relating to testicles is it true bypass. It does drain the battery when deactivated but left in the chain. It adds noise to supply rails so if you're planning on using a power brick with non-isolated outputs or daisy chaining. Not much, but some may object to the added hum. Fantastic for the price. I'm using this as a second delay unit because I can't be bothered altering the main one from slapback to couple of repeats mid set. I just click slapback out and this one in when needed. I've tried inducing radio noise by using my PMR walkie-talkie nearby and I have to get within 1' to get noise. Mobile phones don't trouble it much either, again, more than 1' away and no clickynoise badness when the phone rings or cell switches. That matters to some too.

What!!!! This pedal is superb, and at this price an absolute no-brainer. I have an original 1970's Watkins IC300 Copycat tape delay unit, and this pedal certainly gives a superb emulation of that! It goes from classic slap back all the way to absolute chaos. The only thing I can say is - BUY ONE NOW!

Ok, it’s made from moulded plastic but looks good, it’s tough and solid feeling. The sound quality is excellent and well above its price point. The VD400 isn’t just good because of its price - the effects and controls are excellent and regardless of being a budget brand (get over it snobs) . This will sit proudly on my pedal board with other Behringer pedals. I have played for over 35 years and spent ridiculous money on high end pedals - this gets my approval

real good value for the money

This is a really fun pedal! Anything you play sounds good on it and you can get quite creative. I bought it because I really like Angels and Airwaves and I wanted to be able to play some of their songs/make some of my own and you can do all of that with this. The reason I gave it 4 stars not 5 is because it isn't metal and sometimes there is a high pitched hum when you're not playing, but that could be my leads cause one of them is very old. And when i fiddled with it it stopped humming. For the price it is, it is a really great delay pedal. So simple to use too. if you have £125, get a Boss one. If you don't, get this one.

Absolute crap, does not work! Bought 2 different pedals and neither of them work.

Great analogue delay at budget prices. Sounds just like the og.

This is an analog delay pedal and if connected before the crunchy pedals gives the sound a nice tape delay without adding noise. It starts to induce noise heavily when most pedals cross 75% level with a shrill. This can be used with control over knobs to give a sci-fi effect and can be reset easily with the knobs reduced to lower values. The only trouble is getting that 'slap back' delay is not easy. It depends upon the tempo of playing and this delay needs to be calculated according to that tempo. Trial and error is needed but there is a headache if tempo crosses certain value, this 'slap back' delay will not be induced at all! Ok product for seasoned players with technical knowledge only not for beginners.

Låter precis lika bra som flera gånger dyrare produkter.

Básico pero funcional. No tiene Tap tempo ni diferentes delays, comparado con el Ibañez de las fotos es otra historia, pero también vale 4 veces menos y tiene un sonido muy agradable. Muy contento y sorprendido... Lo volvería a comprar y lo recomiendo si buscas un delay simple para jugar con los sonidos.

Hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass das Gerät einen super Klang hat. Man sollte es nicht abwerten weil es ein Plastik Gehäuse hat. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und der Preis ist der Hammer.
