Behringer DR600 DIGITAL REVERB Digital Stereo Reverb Effects Pedal

I really like this little Behringer Digital Reverb. I have owned other Behringer equipment in the past, always with good results, so I had no problem trying them again. It may not be what the pros use, but it’s perfect for my situation and at an unbelievable price! I just have a 30-watt transistor amp, that I just use for practice and self-entertainment. The built in reverb is broken and it doesn’t have any extra jacks on the back, for external effects to plug into, so I just needed something that I could run between my guitar and my amp, that didn’t cost too much and that’s exactly what I found. It’s not an extremely profound reverb, but with all of the control knobs, “Level”, “Tone”, “Time” and especially the “Mode” knob, with 7 choices, including a classic “Spring” mode, you can dial in a variety of sounds and probably find at least 1, that meets your needs.

It works well. Does what others do for less.Make It your first Reverb.

I have no idea what I am doing. I have been playing guitar for close to 16 years but not consecutive years more like, year one repeated 16 times over. So I would call myself a sucky intermediate guitar player. You don't want to hear me Gig because I can't. I don't know any songs all the way through. I get the main riff down or any other part I like, then quit that song and move on to another one. What does that have to do with this guitar pedal? Well it sounds just fine to me and it works or at least I think it does. If it is supposed to sound like you are playing in the bathroom then yes it works great. Now if this guitar pedal was supposed to give me the skills of Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn then well it is a fail. I wanted to buy the pedal that makes me play and sound like David Gilmore but I could not find that one. So I am pretty sure if your reading this then you probably don't gig, are stuck in intermediate hell and only play for those whom you wish to punish. If your friends and family say things "like seriously dude learn something other than the A minor penatonic scale and two power chords, we are sick of it" then this is the right pedal for you. It has a knob and if you turn it it sounds like your playing in a bathroom. Turn it another way and it sounds like your playing in an air raid shelter with no one else around (they left because you suck just like me). Turn it even another way it sounds like your playing at Carnegie Hall except no one came to see you play. So if that is what reverb is supposed to do it works great and I think easy to use because I really have no idea what I am doing. Oh yes I bought the widgity gigity power supply thing with the pretty blue lights and it works great with that thing. I hate changing batteries.

I wanted a low cost Reverb device for my Behringer MS-1 Synthesizer. I didn’t need anything with too many options just a few types of Reverb, Spring, Plate, Hall would be enough because the MS-1 is a pretty basic Mono Synth for Bass and Lead lines and it’s not terribly great for making complicated deep lush ambient sounds. I also already own a Zoom Stomp 70CDR and Hall of Fame 2 for my other Synthesizers and Mellotron.For a Synth like the MS-1 which is only $199 I can’t justify buying a pedal that costs more than the instrument.This Behringer Reverb fit my needs perfectly. It’s simple, quiet , sounds great and adds just the right amount of Reverb options to make the MS-1 sound full and rich. The price can’t be beat.The build quality is pretty good but it is plastic not a metal case. That’s fine for me as it will just sit on my music workstation next to the Synth not in a Pedal Board in a live playing situation. Not sure how it would hold up to that.One thing to note, it does not use a battery so you have to get a 9 volt power adapter. Sort of odd that Behringer doesn’t bundle one with it even if it added to the price. Anyway I did buy the D’Addario one which is only $11.UPDATE AFTER a week. I was wrong, this pedal does take a 9 volt battery but you have to push two clips on the left and right of the foot pedal itself to remove it to access the battery. Once you do, the spring that controls the pedal pops out and it's very difficulty to put back together. When I finally got it back together the pedal would not turn off, and the pedal motion was stiff. I tried opening it again and re-seating the pedal but it still did not align properly a d stop working. VERY POOR DESIGN to have to take it apart to put a Battery in, ridiculous. I RETURNED it and will buy a better quality and designed pedal!

Good Reverb Unit for the Price. Sounds like Spring Reverb that would come installed in a Guitar Amp. It claims 6 Different Reverb Types. They all sound about the same. Just use it with my little Practice amp I keep at home that does not have built-in reverb. I would recommend it for Home Use.

Let's start off with the incessant complaint about Behringer pedal durability: For what the DR600 costs, you are getting very good electronics at a low price and a durable (but probably not so much for professional hard-gigging stuff) plastic case. I have four other Behringer pedals and they are standing up to regular use. No, I am not a professional musician. Now the good stuff: It has clear, distinctive control over spring, plate and hall reverb with decent time control. I'm not sure what room modulation does with this unit but I can't hear a change. I'm using either plate or spring. The level control is effective and the tone control is satisfactory. A bonus is that it has stereo A/B inputs for a stereo setup. I am mono, but it is a bonus for some. Now, a complaint (and one that I truthfully cannot 100% isolate to this pedal): It appears to add a weird electronic burbling feedback to my pedal chain and amps. It is low enough that I only hear it when I am not playing. If I kick the off switch it (mostly) disappears. Moving my in/out cord from the A jack to the B jack helped. For the price and sound, I can live with it. I am very happy with it. Think price and good competitor circuit emulation.
