Nice Delay

Personally, I never know which pedals to have and which to buy, so I went cheap, looked at the rating and hoped to strike lucky.

I bought the delay as research said "have a Delay before the Reverb" so I thought I would give it a go.

I have a Digtech 355 and Ibanez tube booster and I am always trying to combine them or have them alone. I am sadly an old wrinkly who just plays 70/80 rock through a tube amp at home but thoroughly enjoys it (would love to go loud)

I have found that the pedal does help to give a better tone with the digitech and also with the booster. I am trying out different settings but tend to drift back to a conservative one as too much delay gets on my nerves.

I am pleased with this pedal but now the bug has got me and I am researching which to get next, thought about a compressor. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Only HB product I've had issues with

Great pedal, sounds great, good features and well made, only problem is the bypass has acted up a couple of times

Okay for the price...

It is okay for the price range although it's nothing special. I was much more pleased with the TC Electronic's Flashback.

HB- digital- delay

Fantastic delay pedal on a budget,

Great construction, minimal features for the price point,but still very versatile,

This pedal is worth every euro, the sound is everything you would expect from a delay pedal,it would be unfair to criticise as I can't say anything bad about this pedal, just buy one for yourself and see what a 30 euro pedal can buy you I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Very satisfied for what it's supposed to be

This Harley Benton Digital Delay is, as the name implies, a digital delay but it's voiced to sound and behave more like an analog delay, and so it delivers.

The repeats are darker and more like analog delays out there, I think that it does that work quite well. If you want a pristine clear, cutting repeats you won't find those here, so be aware of this. It has good delay time so that it's pretty versatile, and it will go self-oscillate, together with all your typical experimental noisy tricks without any problems. So far, great especially considering the price

Analog-ish sounding Digital Delay

I use this pedal mostly with synths and drum machine, it reacts more like an analog pedal than a digitial one. My only complaints about this pedal are that the repeats can become quite trebley and harsh when the feedback is pushed to extremes and that it is not possible to use the pedal totally wet without any of the original signal coming through. Aside from this it is a nice pedal to use and play with and feels sturdy.

Not bad!

Classic/vintage delay sound, nice looking (in a bit of a funy way maybe with the big clock and such), inexpensive and sturdy. It does what most people want from a delay.

Best Delay for price

This delay is great for the price... I got my Edge [U2] sounds in seconds nice repeats and sound box is strong and love the blue finish

A real digital comparable to analog ones

Starting from the finishing features (box in metal) and quality of the switches this digital delay effect offers many of the possibilities of the quality in the analog ones but at a super budget price. the quantities of different shades of sound are very easily changeable, and the time lapse can be stretched to an infinite mid pitch that makes kind of a bass line a recurrent harmony. Used it with my resonator guitar and makes excellent bluesy indie stuff. also on acoustic and 12 string western style, it really can catch a lot of frequencies.Plus with a gain distortion it can buzz and echo with a reverb regulation in a stoner metal way. Very versatile, strongly recommended.

Very good product

Pros:

Good Solid construction

Easy use

Clean sound

Does exactly what a delay pedal should do

Cons:

After reaching 3/4 maximum on the "time" dial, the delay time does not get any longer.

Nice delay pedal.

This is another Harley Benton pedal I bought after watching YouTube reviews.

As with the others I have, it is every bit as good as other, more expensive pedals I have tried. It is well built, looks like it will stand up to plenty of abuse & sounds fantastic.

Highly recommended.

Digital delay

It's a simple delay. I like bluesy tones and this really can't be beaten for the price. I use this with a HB VIntage overdrive and the junior power pack through a vox TB 18. I was looking at spending a lot on pedals and thought I would try these first to get the hang of using pedals and they sound great and are so easy to use I won't need anything else as long as they are working.

Good Cheap Delay

This pedal was bought for a smaller portable pedal board and I was pleasantly surprised. It sounds pretty good and is built well. It will be keeping its place on my portable board for now but would never make its way onto the main board. Its a good backup and good budget delay. I wouldn't be too upset if it did stop working or went missing.

It never worked out of the box

Yes, another rubbish Harley Benton pedal. The last delay pedal I bought lasted three weeks. This one didn't work at all. As I live in Thailand and it was so cheap, I just threw it away. I have now learned a lesson - don't buy HB pedals.

Lovely ANALOG delay pedal

This is an analog delay due to the decaying signal...which I love! No noise, well built, great value for money!

DELLLLAAAAAYYYYY !!!

WOW less than £30.00 for a delay pedal.....great value!

The sound quality and true bypass are great. Graphics leave a lot to be desired, and its a bit of a bright blue !!

This is really suited the on a budget plug in and play guitar player. Not wanting an all in one multi-effect pedal.

Can't really find fault with the quality,metal casing (will stand up to a bit of abuse) foot switch seems solid but the pots feel a bit spongy in extreme min or max positions .

Holds up well against pedals that are a lot more expensive.

I would certainly consider other Harley Benton pedals, for the price they're a lot of fun and work well!

Pleasant Suprise!

First off, this thing doesn't sound like a digital delay, it sounds way more like an analog delay. In saying that, I was extremely impressed with this pedal.

The construction of this pedal is solid, the battery compartment is very easy to get too, clip connection, no screws. So its easy to change. The 9V works perfect with no hum or hiss. Knobs are sturdy and responsive. Simple controls, time, repeat, level, & On/Off. No Tap tempo, but for a pedal this price I can certainly live with that. Pedal is slightly on the bigger side, but not by much. Looks great too!

You can get longer delays off some other pedals, but this does exactly what I need. I would warm about putting the level up past the 6 o'clock position, as it started to feedback. Delay sounds more analog like as the repeats decay a bit, which I prefer.

I took a chance buying this and its paid off. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.

Harley Benton Digital Delay

A very nice and easy to use pedal. By my ear, it sounds almost like an analog delay, but having said that, this pedal sounds brilliant. For cleans, epic over driven guitar solos, this pedal pretty much covers it all very well.

Good delay pedal!

Max delay time could be a bit longer but that's the only minus for me. It's built to last and works great and the price was reasonable.
