Harley Benton Digital Delay 4-stars Reviews

excellent value

This pedal is a bare bones delay that sounds good for filling out leads, and can produce a nice slap back sound as well. The delays have a nice chime, and decay accurately bases on the settings. While it is limited in versatility, and its somewhat tough to dial in just the right tempo, i cannot expect much more from this type of pedal. For the price, and what it is meant to do, it does produce a pleasant chorus-y sound for solo-ing. I would say that this pedal is simple, solid, decent sounding and cheap, you can't really beat it. I would recommend this pedal.

A lot of delay for little money

Casing:

I tried other Harley Benton pedals before and so I was a little worried what quality I would get with this one. But if you exspect a cardboard box you are more than wrong. The pedal is built of solid metal and won´t break in the near future unless you crush it on purpose. But why would you do that? Knobs do their job as well. Nothing special here though.

Sound:

I was pretty impressed with the sound quality I got out this pedal. You won´t get spheric delay out of this one. It rather sounds like an analog echo. If you buy a delay for 30€ you exspect lesser sound quality but in my opinion the opposite is was you get! For me exactly what I was looking for.

Inexpensive delay that works

Got this delay pedal for my Roland GA-112 amp to be used when playing at home. It delivers a soft echo and allows you to select the amount of repeats and the time of the delay. The tone control defines the signal throughput.

I use this with the FX loop of my amp, so no need to use the stomp switch. The stomp switch is rugged, needs a good stomp to work it. Control knobs turn smoothly. The knobs must be turned quite a lot to hear a difference in the sound, a small twist will not have a radical change in sound.

No tap tempo, but if you don't need it, this is worth the cheap price. Got an external power source connected, so can't tell about battery life if operating with a 9V battery.

Echos

Bery basic delay that sounds lovely.

Took me a little fiddling (only three controls but it required fine adjustment for my desired effect) to get the settings the way I wanted but it now sounds fantastic and I use it all the time.

This isn't coming out of my effects loop in the near future.

No cheap trick!

I purchased the Harley Benton Digital Delay about a week ago and it definitely rocks my pedalboard! I have owned several delays over the years including models from Boss, Line 6, MXR and many more, but I was looking for something really simple without spending my money on getting an Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man. I have owned a Vahlbruch Spacetime Delay that didn't do the trick for me, so I tried the Harley Benton Digital Delay. The Harley Benton Digital Delay is based around the famous PT2399-IC that allows up to 600ms of digital delay and is used in many digital delays out there (Vahlbruch, Wampler, Mad Professor etc.). Although it's called a 'Digital Delay' it doesn't sound like being digital. The repeats are warm and almost sound like coming from an analog delay. The pedal's controls are pretty simple. The 'Time'-knob controls the delay-time, although the delays don't get longer after turning up the knob to 3/4 of it's way. The 'Repeat'-knob controls the amount of repeats following after the delay sets in and you can get pretty crazy oscillation sounds by turning up the knob. The 'Level'-knob is acting as a mixer-stage, so you can't use the pedal as a booster as it's not actually boosting the signal. On the inside of the pedal you will find a battery clip for using the pedal with batteries, but I wouldn't recommend to use the pedal with a battery, because it eats batteries like a monster resulting from the fact that it's a digital pedal. The overall workmanship is pretty good for a chinese made pedal.

Digital Delay

I am Looking for Delay for starter Pedals set up and this one works fine. Yes a very different from expensive Delays and pedals, But for beginners or for those who only need an simple echo for your guitar? this one will do it for you. No regret buying this product.. Not Perfect but its fine you can try it =)

harley benton digital delay

i bought this harley benton product at first because it was a good price i thought i wouldnt be at too much of a loss if it didnt work out plus i had a zoom g3 with built in effects simply put this delay is far better at what it does if your looking for a good sounding not overly complicated delay with by pass which does work it doesnt loose any of your sound this is it

vintage style delay

interesting budget delay.metal case,quiet.delay seems to have a treble roll off to make it sound a bit analogue. worked fine with all my other pedals and a shared power supply . a little larger than a boss pedal

Very Nice Digital Delay Pedal

Can't believe it sounds this good for the money!

Even if it was over 100 it still sounds great..

I use a small amount of delay to color my sound and this works perfectly

For a delay pedal, it colors the tone a bit too much. I use delay pedal for a "slapback" effect to give more dimension to the sound. This pedal is good for that, however, you have to fine tune the level knob because, like I said before, it colors the tone quite a lot and the overdrive/distortion tones lose their "sharpness".

Pedal

Great pedal for the price.i have had great fun playing with this pedal and for the price you can't go wrong.delivery was quick and well packed .would recommend this pedal to anyone wanting a cheap good delay.

Harley Benton Digital Delay

Although it says "Digital" and "Harley Benton" on this pedal, it isn't one or the other. It actually has more of an analog feel to it than digital, since the tone degrades very authentically, and it is more a Joyo, a chinese company that makes excellent clones of other pedals, but for a very reduced price, so this is basically the same. It is quite easy and simple to use, with 3 knobs it's kinda hard for something to go that wrong. Mind yourself about the Repeats, this has ear screeching feedback if you dial it somewhere between 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock. The only drawback is the lack of stereo output, but for the price, you get an excellent tone.

Digital Delay with analog sound

I did Not have much expectations on this pedal.

I just ordered it because i didn't wanted to spenden much Money just for One Song.

I have it in Front of my JCM 800 and it Works nicely.

Very warm analog Sound for a digital delay abd it does not change much the original Signal.

I found it a Little Tricky to Set up the pedal to my needs because the Pots are reacting very fast on Even small turns.

I have now the Perfect setup with all Pots on 10 o'clock.

Shimmering Sound for clean, Medium and HiGain.

Harley Benton Delay

The Harley Benton delay comes in a strong metal case which is great for this price range and the pots are smooth.

The downsides:

- don't push the rate too far up or you will create an awfull loop

- the button is kind of cheap and very noisy

I would recommand it to people who don't want to spend too much money on a delay.

Harley Benton Digital Delay

super cheap price,durable in its construction and retro in appearance.I like it.The functionability is quite basic,just echo and delay effects,though its quite capable of cranked up madness,but theres no loop function.I don't like the fact the power cable mounts on the side near the jack input.I would prefer behind the control knobs.

Cheap unit that sounds good

Good unit.

Sounds ok.

Let down by feel of the pots.
