Behringer VD400 Vintage Delay

[@krumbis]

I really appreciate you also using a bass, I was just listening passively to this demo and got spooked with what I was actually looking for

[@TomaCherryVR]

I'm going to buy it for Christmas to combine it with a pedal of the same brand. But it's from Ultra Chorus, to play indie music tracks. Thanks for these videos, I'm left-handed too like you. Long live lefties 🤟🥳🤘

Thank You Eric I have been a player on Bass and Lead Guitarist since the 1960s My pedals range vary having a Boss only board and my standby Behringer board for smalller gigs I just purchased a VD400 for the standby board as I use a tape echo for my main gigs. Your explanation and demo was fantastic and certainly showed its full potential Thanks again DP

[@EricMerrow]

Glad the video helped!!!

[@zapruderpedro]

these pedals are great (real analogue bucket brigade chip) and are good for modding too. you can put a momentary spst stomp switch across pins 2 and 3 of the intensity pot for infinite repeats controlled by your foot. also one of the internal trimmers lets you adjust the repeat rate range to get a longer delay time

[@EricMerrow]

Thanks so much for watching and sharing!

[@stoneyboyd]

I use this pedal with my keyboards in order to create weird and interesting noises. I originally bought the pedal hoping to get some great delay effects but was unsatisfied, I then tracked down the discontinued Behringer Digital delay pedal and with it I got the delay effects I was looking for. However the vintage delay is a great pedal to experiment with, hook it up to a keyboard and you can create some interesting stuff with it. Airplane flyby sounds, Repeating Alarm Sounds, HVAC droning sounds, you can create all of this and more with the Behringer Vintage Delay.

[@EricMerrow]

Yes! I bet that sounds really cool!

[@trevord4243]

I play both bass and 6-string. I love Behringer pedals. I own six of them, SC400 Compressor/Sustainer, NR300 Noise Reduction, OD300 Overdrive/Distortion, VD400 Vintage Delay, VP1 Vintage Phaser, HB01 Hellbabe Wah. I have several amps, but use these primarily on my Vox AC15 and Orange Micro Terror (12" custom closed cab). The Behringer pedals may be cheap, but seriously, don't be taken back by that. They just sound great. And my AC15 loves them. My favorite is the Vintage Phaser. It just sounds so good. Thanks for this demo. You did it justice as your other vids do. Great share.

Se ti piacciono questi pedali allora dovresti provare il TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive , bello bello😊 In pratica il mitico Tube Screamer ma dal costo 4 volte inferiore....😅

[@lonewolf1053]

Hello...just ordered from Amazon...a delay pedal adds so much dimension to the sound in so many ways especially a good lead tone set right....

[@EricMerrow]

Awesome! You’ll love it!

UPS just dropped off this pedal as well as the vintage Tube Overdrive and the Super Fuzz. Super excited to try them. Great video.

[@cylos_mx8524]

Love the demos and that your lefthanded with the left equipment. For a long time I only had righthanded guitars with the strings flipped.

[@ziggylayneable]

I like that you're using a Glarrey kudos to you for keeping it real on the budget level

[@rareform6747]

$25 now but very good and always adjust the trim pot for long echo's .

[@Keithphotorama]

I am a new guitar student and I really enjoyed this informative video. Thank you

[@EricMerrow]

Love your videos. Thank you for taking that extra time and care to demonstrate a pedal's full range of use.

[@EricMerrow]

Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you like the videos!

[@chriscurran1967]

Yeah!!! This is the delay I have!!! I wish they labeled the controls the way you explained them. The way they have them labeled is a little ambiguous. Great demo as always Eric!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@EricMerrow]

Thanks Chris! I totally agree with you, the labels are kind of confusing. But good thing there are only 3 knobs. Haha

[@BlakeHouse-j3u]

No seriously;, he's right ! I just picked up one "new to me" ( without any instructions , but the downloaded manual was also unclear). And the " Rate " knob is totally counter intuitive .. "Minimum " is actually maximum delay , and vise versa . Trying for close to slap back , but just wasn't happening . Thanks to you , I now have viable starting points .

[@JohnDoe-rz6pu]

I have one , but i Just played once and IT was shit . But after your great Video i Anderstand a delay now . Thanks Maite!

[@nateshewell6509]

Great job on this demo!

I imagine a few old Police songs would sound cool with this... Mine comes next week :) cool vid mate.

[@markfreemantle7608]

Just purchased this pedal from Sweetwater for $25. Does anyone have a suggestion for the settings to get an authentic slap-back rockabilly tone? thanks.

[@EricMerrow]

I would suggest turn the feedback all the way down to where you only get a single repeat and turn the delay time to the fastest setting. Then you can incrementally start to make the delay time a bit longer until you get just the right slapback

[@silly_alien1596]

Do you know why even when i turn on the pedal when the light is on it adds no effect even when all the nobs are at the top?

[@EricMerrow]

My guess is that you might have accidentally plugged into the direct out. Make sure you’re plugging the “out” instead of the “dir out” to your next pedal

[@Roger-il8iw]

The only berhinger pedal I don’t like is their reverb. Other than that they are amazing

[@southernpride2003]

Howdy from North Carolina I'm 21 years old and my favorite guitar player is Luther Perkins Johnny Cash's original guitar player what does pedal be good for replicating that tone

[@EricMerrow]

Thanks for watching and commenting! I think the best use for that old-style country sound would be a slapback delay. So you'd want to set the repeat to minimum where you're only getting a single echo. Then turn the delay speed to a quicker setting so you have a quicker delay that kind of follows what you're playing.

[@konjunto2477]

So for a Rockabilly Slap Back sound I should focus on the Intensity knob?

[@EricMerrow]

If you’re going for that rockabilly slap sound, you’ll want to dial the feedback (intensity)down to the point where you have a single repeat. Then you can use the rate knob to tune the speed of the slap. Hope this helps!

[@joxidearmageddonator882]

Hi Eric, many thanks for this video, I'm playing around with this now. Do you have any info for the layman on the 2 different outputs? I'm a pedalboard noob, many thanks!

[@EricMerrow]

Great question! The Direct out sends and uneffected signal out of the pedal. You can use it to run to a separate amp or just split your signal. The main out is the one that the delay is applied to

[@onzkicg]

Sounds good. Is having a tap tempo essential for this effect?

[@EricMerrow]

Wether or not a tap tempo is necessary is really up to you. Personally, I don’t need a tap tempo so for me it’s not necessary

[@asnltrk70]

hey bro, what's the name of the song you played at the beginning? thanks in advance

[@EricMerrow]

Thanks for watching! That was just me improvising in the beginning. It very well could sound like another song but I’m not aware of it.

[@asnltrk70]

@@EricMerrow thanks for the answer :) make it a song and use it because it sounds so good.

[@ElFerna182]

I love the sound of it. But, doesn't ir get too short wirh the longest possible delay time? Should it be possible to get a longer delay, or is this ok? Thanks, greetings!

[@EricMerrow]

With analog delays there’s a limitation of delay time - usually at the cost of noise. So the longer the delay time, generally, the more noise there is. If you’re looking for a longer delay time, I’d suggest looking at a digital delay that is voiced to sound like a darker analog delay 👍👍

[@ElFerna182]

@@EricMerrow Great, thanks a lot for your answer! I didn´t know that. Awesome content and awsome chanel! Thanks again!

[@ElFerna182]

May I ask you something else? I hope its not abusive. I read it is not true bypass. Is that so? If it is, does it affect a lot the tone of the guitar when the pedal is switched off? Im thinking of buying this one or the reecho delay from mooer. Thanks again, hope im not bothering you.

[@mailvilla]

04/25/2023: I bought this pedal, but if I turn off Eco, which sounds like Reverb to me, then the pedal goes 100% silent. Can the pedal be adjusted without Eco and use my own Reverb pedal?

[@EricMerrow]

If I understand correctly, the pedal works when it’s on but is silent when you turn it off? My initial thinking is that it may be the power. What sort of power are you using? If it’s a battery, you might need to change it. As for the effect sounding more like a reverb - the pedal is an analog delay so it’s going to be a darker sounding delay but also it doesn’t have a ton of delay time so you’ll lean more toward slapback type sound. I hope this helps!

[@georgetwine2261]

hey man, i bought this pedal but found it cant give me repeats slow enough for my liking, do you know any way i could help either this?

[@EricMerrow]

If you’re looking for longer delay times, you’ll probably want to look into a delay that is digital. In the analog delay world (the vd400 is an analog delay) the delay times are capped at a specific limit because pushing past that limit will introduce a bunch of noise and unwanted artifacts. Digital delays are much less limited in this aspect so you’ll find longer delay times. I would recommend checking if Behringer has a digital delay or maybe check into another brand like sonicake to see if they have affordable delays 👍👍👍

[@MJPGuitar]

Highly recommend getting a digital delay from the JHS 3 series or Fender Hammertone series.

[@cloudedleopardeffects5010]

hey eric, i see two outputs on it. does this mean you can cut out the dry signal and have only the delayed signal?

[@EricMerrow]

If I remember correctly, the direct out gives you only your dry signal while the main out gives you the dry and wet signal. Not sure if there’s a way to completely cut out your dry signal from the main out
