Behringer DD100 Review

History: I play 6-string, 12-string, and bass guitar and harmonica. I have been playing harmonica for 38 years, guitar for 36 years, and bass for 24 years. I have played in a couple of bands but primarily play as solo musician. My musical style is a fusion I call "Psychedelic Country Gospel." (Think hybrid of Statler Brothers/Beatles/Buck Owens.)

Purchase: I purchased this at Lanham Music in Saint Joseph, MO, to simplify my signal chain and eliminate/replace an Alesis Guitar FX which I have never been happy with.

Pros: While other reviews describe these pedals as noisy, I have not found that to be the case with this one. I enjoy having knobs to adjust to change the settings instead of having to adjust and store settings on a Multi-FX box.



Cons: The battery access is difficult to open when replacing batteries and is an invitation to damaging the pedal. A better designed unit would have the battery cover in the back.

DD100 Quality: The construction is heavy plastic--not as durable as metal, but heavy enough with a light tap of the foot. If I literally stomped on this it would not be a roadworthy unit. Fortunately, it is sensitive enough to respond to a light tap.

Behringer Summary: Not bad for a starter effect or for occasional gigging--but for the person who has to earn a living with their music, buy DigiTech or Boss.
