Surprising unit

It has it’s quirky limitations, but if you love cheap delay units this one will be fun. The housing and look is great too!

Surprised in a good way

The sound is really great, but sometimes the knobs arent the way they I left them. Also the velcro doesn't stick on the back.

3,5/5 some issues with sound

I liked all features, all knobs worked well. It does what it is supposed to. But sometimes this pedal causes squeek coming out of my amp. Moving power cable in the socket was solving the issue mostly. It is not something I would like to deal with. But this pedal is cheap and as for total beginner it is good start.

A usable good D Delay

A good and usable digital delay.

At this price it's a fantastic delay pedal and works on daisy chain with 4 other pedals without unwanted noise!

Sounds good, easy to use, simple & no problems!

Good but not the best

If you are a beginner and are starting with getting into pedals. go for it! But if you are experienced....don't. Like it's great but the delay time is very short and like if you turn the buttons it might get glitchy sometimes.

Speaking about the glitchy part: If you experiment alot with it you can get some pretty nice synth and DJ style sounds out of it.

It works just fine the only problem is wehn i turn the repeat up, it begins to do a reaslly loud noise, but it is a great pedal anyway.

Nice usable pedal.

The pedal arrived in perfect condition. After a year of use in house and on gigs, it worked without a glitch. It stopped working when my bass player dropped his amp on the pedal. I was very upset!! If not for that I believe I would still have this pedal and would make good use of it.

Good clear sounding pedal

I really want a editable delay unit, as I deal in BPM to ms with my song writing; but I can't afford and expensive rack unit model just for writing with, so I looked for something that would do, and I found this pedal. Getting precise to the beat delays is still hit and miss, but the quality of the sound is really good. Well done Mr TH

Very good for the price

It's a digital delay with some analog flavor.

I own a few delay pedals and this one is amazing for the price, I would pay double for it. It has that high cut on the repetitions that gives a good depth to the sound. It's really cool for some doom and stoner rock. I really enjoy it.

They main con is the building quality, mine arrived broke, some solder joins on the main board were touching each other, so I just sand it a bit and the pedal worked like a charm.

cheap and good

Very freaking cheap one, it absolutley worth 29 euro, a quality and the sound is pretty good enough for everyday use at home or even at some concerts. I used to play this thing for a half a year and it was ok. Unfortunatley i had to sell it because i needed a tap tempo, this is probably the biggest disatvantage of this pedal. But its stupid to expect tap tempo and everything in Chinese pedal for 29 euros.

So, if you need a cheap delay for home playing or you are not a great professional player , you definatly should buy this one and enjoy. But i cannot advise this delay for professionals 'cause its not good enough for them.

Great pedal for the price

I bought this pedal a couple of years ago, and I love it.

The name of the pedal is "Digital Delay", but really, it sounds much more analog, sort of like tape delay, which is cool for dub like effects.

If you crank the settings you can get it to feed, which sounds really cool.

Only minus is the build quality, they are cheaply produced, but for the money it's great.

All in all recommendable if you want a cheap analog type delay.

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.

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.

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.

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.
