Solid stuff

Works great, sounds a bit digital-y but aside from that it’s good. Functions are lacking but what is there suffices certainly considering the price. Plastic case might take a bit to stomach but overall it’s a good pedal, especially for those on a budget.

Basic pedal

Sound is just basic, nothing too fancy. But for the price of it OK. easy to handle though.

it doesnt leave my pedal board

First, the sound options are not that much so the outcome has restrictions

When you open it, sound goes up and there is no level option

If something spils on it (like beer) you have to clean it cause its fully visible

But because of little options yoyu van manage your sound easily

Good beginner Delay pedal

Got this as a starter for a beginner board, and its nice, good strong plastic body and it's the last pedal in my chain, i don't use it much, its just on low slow setting, but it has nice range and easy to use, it pairs really well with the behringer chorus and vintage overdrives i got too. Great beginner one, but i'd maybe go with the digital or multi effects one if its in stock.

Good for slapback delay

I got it as an analog delay with the idea to spice up the pedalboard and maybe get some "Edgesque" sounds out of my strat...however, ended up using it exclusively as a slapback delay instead of a reverb pedal. It's an OK piece of equipment but not as versatile as other digital delays that I should of have bought in the first place.

Good for the money

I needed one analog delay but I wasn't sure if I stick with it, so I chose the less cost option of Behringer vd400. I don't like the plastic case but overall is a decent pedal that do the work just fine.

Classic delay sound which you might recognize from the pedal this is based on, but in a sturdy plastic case with cheaper knobs.

a bit tricky to get a usable sound with bass.

Perhaps is my own limit.

Great sound, sturdy and effective all in all

Amazing value for money

Use: on a small guitar pedalboard

Pros: amazing value, seems sold enough, sounds good

Cons: at this price, nothing. Even if you have more expensive delays, worth having as a backup at this price!

Not bad

Perfectly good analog delay pedal. Not sure how the plastic enclosure would hold up but can't complain at the price.

Bang for the buck

This delay really blew me away. Very usable and clear(not dark like a carbon copy for example). Plays well with my drives/fuzz.

It only got basic controls but that makes it easier to dial in, more is not always better. Great delay for the price.

Very nice for the price

I use it mainly for guitar . I like pushing the feedback to the limit and playing with time ratio for crazy pitching . This is where the sound should gain character with natural overtones but the vd400 can?t handle it well. For sure it?s way better than digital delays but I expected more tolerance on feedback than getting a not-my-taste ugly distortion.

Can?t complain for the dark character and short delay time for the money (most will use it a slap back delay which is great) .

After all it?s a budget analog delay and for the price is recommended

Its great for the price

Hey.....It's an affordable analog delay pedal. It's not high end but it's like 25 euros

Nothing special but it is a good choice for something cheap that would transform an also cheap guitar.

Please REMEMBER this need some 9V DC power supply that WASN'T written on the description.

Very nice delay pedal

This is, indeed, a very nice delay pedal. First ofall, very well priced. Second, it really delivers what you'd expect from a vintage delay pedal without compromising the signal from your guitar, It is made of platic, which does not look as sturdy as , say, a Boss pedal, but does not seem weak or cheap either. Controls are straightforward. Have not tried with a power source yet, and it seems that it can operate for a lng time on batery.

What is says on the tin!

I was using a TC Electronic Flashback Delay/Looper previously, which is a great pedal, but offers more than I actually need, so I decided to go with this instead. I'm not disappointed - there's plenty of scope to vary the depth and rate to suit. I've used it with an Epiphone SG through two different amps, Marshall MG100DFX and a Fender Performer 1000, both upfront and through the FX loop, no issues with either set up. It's a Behringer, so it's not as solid as other makes, but unless you plan on jumping up and down on it, it's solid enough. Definitely recommended as an affordable delay pedal.

Unbeatable for the price

It's a simple analog delay in a plastic case, but for the price it's really good. I use it with my analog synths which have no internal effects. The battery seems to last pretty long when you remember to switch it off after playing.

Great value!

Lovely analog delay, using it on my keyboard efx chain and for djing. Feels plastic, cheap, but im still very happy with this unit as it has decent sound and its making crazy sounds on the higher intensity setting which is usefull for dub music. For these money you wont find better analog delay!

Behringer vd400

owned this for about 9 months and its been the staple delay for my board.

If you want long clean digital repeats,than this isnt for you!!

Its an analogue delay with bucket brigade chips and sounds justy lovely.

ideal for that 60's slap back echo or just to add a touch of depth to your lead solo.

It is a little dark sounding as most analogue delays are but it just adds a very warm soft edge to the tone.

The delay is only 300ms so not alot and is limited as a full on delay.

Overall its one of Behringers better copies.

I should now as Ive owned nearly all at some point.

Can't grumble at the price.

I have a numb of items from the Behringer stable and have been generally lucky with the quality and reliability of them. This pedal I found to be quite surprising. For the money, I expected a really cheap and nasty sound ( I bought it on the spur of the moment and couldn't grumble with the price) but found it to be pretty good! I am a keen fan of Hank Marvin and am always looking for echo or delay pedals to help emulate his sound, well, with a bit of tweaking, I managed to produce a pretty good Apache effect quite quickly. It's not a Space Echo or Copycat, so don't expect miracles, but for the money, it is a very good pedal. Recommended.
