- What are the effects or types of effects available?
- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
- Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?

Effect pedal analog (nan is not digital, digital is expensive, what you think!), One indeed available: the tremolo. Edition with three knobs that you turn with your fingers. Plastic housing of course, but the box does not seem so fragile it in everyday use I do not run my pedals ... me against the wall

Mono input jack on the right side, mono output jack on the left side, making for Boss type power supply on the right side as well, a little too close to the jack, when using an angled jack plugs to the two believe it a bit and galley. Or battery power, I renviendrais.

Model no rack at all, we already raque hardly have time for ...

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

The general configuration is very simple, you plug a jack from the instrument input, a jack to the amplifier in the output.

Power supply: battery or mains. The battery compartment is quite annoying to open and close even more, it&#39;s the same on all Behringer pedals and guitarists from around the world are in no shit, I will not add a layer, especially as I uses only the power supply sector.

Editing sounds very easy: only three parameters and in addition they have taken the precaution to mark a knob next to each parameter on which it acts. Just turn those knobs. This is also much easier these potentiometers offer little resistance to rotation, not to say they look alone at the lower air flow ... Not to lose my favorite setting, I just simply because of pencil lines on the box to indicate the position of the knobs ... on a pedal at 20 euros and almost unsaleable hand, no scruples ...

The footswitch is a little more sensitive than a Boss pedal, and that inspires confidence on its strength over time, but for now it&#39;s like the shock of a relatively frequent use (two to three repeat / week + occasional concerts)

Manual: what, the small A4 sheet folded in 36 that was in the bottom of the plastic blister was a manual?

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
- Which instruments do you use?
- Which ones you prefer, you hate?

The unique effect (tremolo, for those who follow it) is effective and realistic. The setting of waveform is not very progressive, we move quickly from a sine wave to a triangular wave. I do not like the tremolo ground and violent, I prefer a gentle tremolo, vintage, like the guitar in Portishead or Nancy Sinatra (the soundtrack of Kill Bill, for those unfamiliar). I can get this kind of sounds fairly easy, but the sound is still quite cold. That said, this may be a fault also present on the Boss tremolo which this is based, and I have not tried ...

I did not notice any change in my sound when the pedal is bypassed, and no loss of volume or anything like that.

Note: I use this pedal on a bass, and even more low, most of whom are active, and the pedal cash without flinching the output level of the bass. Similarly, the pedal also the level of cash out of the Big Muff Russian placed upstream, even if the sound produced by this combination is a little less interesting;)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
- What is so special that you like most and least?
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
- How would you rate the quality / price?
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Used for about 6 months, before buying it I tried two other pedals in the budget "entry level":
- Tuna Melt the Danelecto: very good sound, but microscopic size and switch hit and play very well in his room but unusable live a little frustrated and lost in a good-sized pedalboard
- The Electro-Harmonix Pulsar: exactly the opposite fault, impossible to miss and probably indestructible, but the sound is cooler ...
Finally I just dropped the idea of ​​finding a nice tremolo for cheap, I resigned myself to put aside for a VoodooLab or other high-end, and then I took an order in Germany to add this Behringer small, for 20 euros as well try one of these famous pedal that everyone is talking about. Well I can: this is not the tremolo of the century, but it&#39;s quite the TAF, the sound is a bit cold itself but the overall sound of the group it goes smoothly, until something better!
Value for money: unbeatable as often with Behringer.
With experience, I would buy this one if I still do not sub for high-end ...
