I'm working my way through all your reviews for the Behringer pedals. I'm a keyboardist not a guitarist, but I'm looking for some low cost but decent pedals to put my modular through, and also to get the guitarist in my band to use his electric more than his acoustic. The Behringer ones seem to fit the bill, and are at an impulse buy price as well.
Actually, when I had this pedal, I did like the sound. I liked the fact that you could blend the effect sound and the dry signal. Used it for guitar and bass. I was enjoying playing one day and poof!! Went to pedal heaven! I do own some other Behringer pedals, and in general, they sound very good. I would say sound just as good as my other pedals in most part( I do own some high-end stuff). I think the problem in in the construction of these pedals. You just can not be too rough with them.
This is a good demo and your audio picks up a good representation of the sound. I have this pedal. I don't "gig" but I love it. So what if it's plastic? I love the sound and I got mine for under 30 bucks so beat that!
i think you are confused - the 2 second hold down? that is simply to switch between fast or slow ramp - why would you want to change that at a critical point? surely you set fast or slow and then simply click the pedal to change from one to the other and that is instant.
Hey, what about tone-sucking? im asking because ive red that Behringer pedals have this issue. Is it too noticeable? Greetings from México. Great review by the way.
@ mooiegarage: Don't take it personally. I'm critiquing the pedal, not you. Yes, there is a "little bit of time to go from slow speed to high speed...". Unfortunately, the Behringer adds two more seconds to this ramp speed by requiring you to hold down the pedal. Unacceptable in live situations. And, yes, I did get another pedal. One which does not have this fatal flaw. Have a nice day.
Don't you get it? This is a 'rotary machine' pedal. It's supposed to copy the functions of a leslie speaker to a Hammond organ. The delay when you use the switch on the organ to control the leslie works just like this. It uses a little bit time to go from slow speed to high and vice versa. Besides the sound that's exactly what's cool about this pedal, it's got that function. Useless? Quite on the contrary. Get another pedal.
The 2 second hold on the pedal to activate the ramp function makes this pedal a non-starter. The whole Leslie ramp up and down thing can't really be used with a 2 second delay. If they fix this before marketing it in the states, I'll buy two of them.
What's missing here is the "click" of the relay that starts the top horn in a Leslie spinning. Playing in a band using a Leslie, it's rather exciting to hear that click and the following intense, accelerating, spinning sound. Nice Demo.
No, we are not confused. The entire point of ramping is to be capable of doing it precisely when you wish, at a "critical point". A two second delay is useless. Sorry.
it sounds tinny & cheap, not at all voluptuous/engaging the way some of the better les peds can sound. hence the price, i guess. it doesn't have enough depth. if this is what it really sounds like, i'd give it a big miss. and i've been through an h&k, dls fx, whirligig, the digitech rp-1 valve/rack jobbie, line 6... i stopped at the boss rt-20 because it came the closest (h&K wasn't far behind) to the drunken warble of the real thing. dls fx was the ONLY 1 that didn't affect my tone, though
Tried two of these recently, they bang like hell when you switch on and off, this renders the units totally USELESS!!!....if you can live with that, great sound,.....but I can't, sent them both back, will never buy Behringer products again!!
angie4josh - spoken like a person who's never had to rodie a split hammond up stairs into a venue... try it and then come back and complain about "shit" pedals
yes agreed - if i get time we shoudl really do the reviews again with synths cos all these RSM pedals would work good in an old-skool techo setup
Interesting. Thanks for the great demo.
Thanks for the demo, it's really a nice sounding pedal for the price. :)
Maaaaan, I thinking I'm buying this, thanks for the demo.
sweet!!! I will get this one to try to get the PINK FLOYD sound!! hell yeah!
Great review, this is actually a really nice pedal
I want this to play the Let it Be solo.

i agree. Treat the knobs very gently.
Cool stuff!!!

good demo when are you coming out with more demos
Thanks for the demo.... would this pedal work well with an accoustic electric with accoustic amp? or are they not meant to be together?

Hot dang, you kicked that guy's ass! Proud of ya.
I bought my third one.I will resolve a volume drop by adding a line selector.
How well with this work with a 6 or 12 Accoustic Electric ?
i have the Rm 600 what happens u cant get any sound out the guitar lights flashing i just got it
What about a test with a keyboard doing organ sound ?
do behringer make a univibe type pedal?

Really like the sound of this.
so is this like a flange?

amazon?
So it's basically a chorus pedal?
is the pedal true bypass ?
yup
Would this work okay with an accustic electric ? I'm looking for new sounds for my jamming group/two man band. Thanks
this pedal sounds more like a leslie when used with a keyboard ans more like a chorus/flanger on the guitar.

best review of a stompbox ever
@angie4josh - well now you have... um, is that your best shot? lol
@angie4josh - actualy i dont have any hair on my balls, my GF shaved them.... try again.
What ??
Tried two of these recently, they bang like hell when you switch on and off, this renders the units totally USELESS!!!....if you can live with that, great sound,.....but I can't, sent them both back, will never buy Behringer products again!!
I agree...
auroristony48 wish you sent one to me xD
Yes, it makes a loud bumf when you turn it off!
angie4josh - spoken like a person who's never had to rodie a split hammond up stairs into a venue... try it and then come back and complain about "shit" pedals
feed thnto enm600 see howit sounds..........................
that riff would sound so much nicer with some chorus :L
way too intense. No mix knob for guitar output and effect output
