It's a clone of a Boss DM-2 or DM-3 Analogue Delay I think.

Nice vid!

There were some pretty wild sounds at the end there.

Glad you're liking the delay mike! See, I don't recommend no trash!

awesome demo, and the ff sounds ace too!

Yeah, I love the delay, it's bloody brilliant.

I can't stop laughing at the price. 20 knicker! WTF.

I'm amazed how much I love Fuzz pedals now, I've got to build a few different types now and I "get it".

Hahaha, you've been converted.

I want a delay, and I have now found it. It sounds delicious and at 20 quid, I am an idiot for not yet buying one.

It also comes in an Action Man Packaging which is amazing.

think i heard a bit of the original Dr Who theme at the end there.

anyway nice demo and do want. Actually quite fancy a FF now too, dammit. oh yeh and someone on HC pulled the behringer apart, it is "true" analog not a digital simulation.

Do you have a link to the thread?

internal shot has been removed from the thread, but it uses a "Cool Audio BBD chip" whatever that is.

oh and there are a few internal trimpots to allow you to f#ck with the tone and delay time - you need to crack the case open and have a play.

Such a great little pedal, isn't it? Lovely using two amps, too.

I appreciate the link, but for some reason it just times out for me. I can't seem to get onto harmonycentral.com, let alone the forums at the moment - which is odd.

For 30 bucks, that sounds amazing...

One question, what do you use to power it? Aren't Behringer's suppose to have a reverse polarity power jack or something? Good God im sounding like an idiot...

Post by **Hurb** » Sun Aug 24, 2008 8:18 pm

Nah, just power it off any old boss style adapter.

Like Hurb says, centre negative, same as any Boss pedal.

i fell in love with behringer too, i used to stay far away from them tbh but come on... it's a fraction of the price of other pedals that do exactly the same so why be stupid ?

Cool Audio is a company that's reissuing obsolete analog chips, like the ones used in the DM-2 and older Memory Mans.

Both stompers sounding good, Mikey! As I always say, I'm more of a DDD (digital-delay-dude, not DoubleDongDave), but that defo sounds nice and warm, spesh for the minimal buckage.
