The Behringer's tape artifacts can sound somewhat artificial, requiring a higher mix setting to improve authenticity.

Incredibly versatile

Albeit being a blunt and cheap plastic-cased ripoff of Line6's Echo Park, this little stompbox is surely able to amaze me with its versatility of sounds. Soundwise you can select between three modes: Digital, analog and tape and also you can enable "Trails", which means the echo remains after you switch off the pedal. There is a modulation poti that'll add some nice phasey wavering to the echoed signal which adds some vintage touch. Furthermore, it comes with various delays: Not only does it feature tap-tempo but it also includes ping pong for stereo setups and reverse delay. Of course there are potis for WET/DRY mix, Repeats and Time. Only feature missing here is the option to create presets, but due to its affordability you could have bought one for each of your settings. Since Behringer ended its production these are now highly sought-after and pretty hard to get. I give 4/5 stars because I don't really trust the plastic housing and the durability of the components.

Low Price, Big Sound

Whether ethical or not, Behringer recreates some amazing equipment and sometimes, more often these days, they get it right!!!

The Echo Machine is a direct "borrow" of the Line 6 Echo Park which is a regular sized footprint of the DL4 classic. I have the Echo Pro, the rack version however have the pedal ready for the go at any place, anytime, is a bonus... plus I may just dig pedals. If you like experimenting with delays, this could be your next favorite pedal!

I sold my vintage univox superfuzz and boss hyperfuzz (very similar designs) and bought a Behringer superfuzz. it nails those sounds. I made about 960 dollars profit

Mainstay Delay

Cheap yet powerful delay pedal. Great substitute for Line 6 Echo Park, if you are looking for a lighter one but with the same function. Only downside I found is that the pedal's body is made out of hard plastic. Though it can't be consider as a problem if stepping force is not that hard. This has been my mainstay delay for almost 3 years now.

EM 600 Echo Machine

You get a lot of features packed into this stompbox for around $50 bucks. The case and switching feels cheaply made and I'm afraid it might break at some point. That said, for the price, there are 3 types of delays - Tape/Analog/ Digital, Along with 11 different modes. Makes for some interesting experiments.

It's a cool pedal. Nothing wrong with it.

I got this pedal when i was 11, and i never really figured it out until i started playing in a Psychedelic Rock Band, and we play 'Tame Impala' and 'Mac Demarco' covers, and it has many possibilities. You can use it as a delay pedal and i figured that you can use it as a flanger or warble pedal.

I know everyone thinks "cheap plastic and not good" when they think of Behringer, but let me tell you its actually pretty decent. The pedal can go from subtle delay to crazed modulation, and sounds pretty sweet. Overall its pretty good.

I have no doubt it is functional out of the box and sounds like an echo. I don't think that's what people are on about.

Overall insanely good for its price.

The pedal sports two switches, a three way type switch (analog, digital and tape) and a two way trails switch (on and off). Aside from that it has mix, repeat, time mode and mod knobs. You can get lots of versatile sounds out of it and with a good enough amount of jlede you can aswat
