A review of the Behringer VD400 delay time mod
DIFFICULTY: 1/10
SUCCESS RATING: 8/10
COST: free
TIME: 20 minutes
Behringer VD400 Vintage Delay stomp box
Adjusting the internal trim pot for longer/shorter delay times
No soldering required
This mod seems to change the sample rate or bit rate of the pedal's memory so the longer the delay, the more noticeable the digital artefacts become. Find what works for you.

The pedal is analog BBD, but yes I like the extra grime and artifacts on the longer setting. Everything is so clean these days and lacking character, so this is really welcome!

Gosh I’m about to buy one of these 😌 Thanks for your video

Holy frigging crap, dude. This is awesome. It's neat they put those internal knobs in there. I'm definitely doing this. Thank's for the information.

@TimWhittSound 6 лет назад

No worries. How'd you go with the mod? Find a sweet spot that you like?

@johnt.campbell316 6 лет назад

Yeah... I prefer a quite _faster_ delay, so I went with clock-wise to get it faster, but with the main knob I can still get some slower delays... Plenty for what I need. I did't turn it *all* the way down, maybe about a 1/4 turn on the knob. Once again though, dude... *Great* information.

wow, thanks my delay pedal is now useful, and such a great easy fix!

Great built in tweakability for easy modding without soldering!

@baguette273 4 года назад

My experience is - I did the same - the repeat rate knob isn't that sensitive after this. I mean the rate is fairly the same in the lower 50% after that it quickly changes. And the rate went down marginally. But it does work.

They're surprisingly good for the money. Behringer does have some pretty under rated gear. How are you finding it?

Change the pots with 1K ones and you'll get some really wacky space echo effect

pots of the regular 3 knobs? have a vid with the results?

@Kestrel-zc1du 2 года назад

thanks!

@RippSnortin 6 лет назад

Good mod thanks. You could actually unfolded that internal pot and add one the you can control from outside with case closed. Also, carefull with those conductive screwdrivers around the chips. You might let the smoke out.

What can be done if I wanted to make it really long, like 600 or 800 ms? Is there a component that can be replaced?

@1redgate8 3 года назад

Doing this will get it to 600ms

@Lespaul13100 6 лет назад

Hi, I removed the screws( top and bottom) and the top still won't come off. Is there a way to remove it without breaking it? Thanks.

@xdanielpk4161 6 лет назад

Lespaul13100 what I did is remove the knobs first then took it off because the knobs where causing it to not take the top off

@Lespaul13100 6 лет назад

Daniel Santiago Thanks!

@iplayloud2 8 месяцев назад

This is a Boss DM-2 copy correct? So are these the analog delays that did compromise tone quality for longer delay times ?

@bigstick5278 Год назад

You have the case open you mess with two of the inner pots but just say "I don't know what this one does" and don't even try messing with it?

Hi, I have a Behringer DD400 and I noticed that it changes the tone of the guitar when I turn on the pedal. I would like to do a MOD for true bypass. You know how to do? Thank you!

@nelsoncolereis4058 4 года назад

I just adjusted the trimpots inside. Now the delay time is longer. But at long settings there is a high pitched noise. Maybe clocknoise? How do I get rid of that?

@1redgate8 3 года назад

Just did the same...I turned the middle trim pot only a couple of degrees clockwise, it it appears to have disappeared. It is certainly not notable anymore to my ears.

@filterdrive 5 лет назад

Great stuff, but if it's a true analog delay I don't understand how there could be digital artifacts. If it employs some kind of noise-reduction technology, which is digital, it may struggle to reduce noise over the extended delay - maybe this produces the artifacts? Anywhichway, great stuff, really appreciate the mod info!

@S1NKONE 5 лет назад

BBD chips are neither digital nor analog because are time discrete. They sample continuous analog values but they do this at certain time intervals. This causes sampling artifacts. This is my understanding of it please correct me if I'm wrong. EDIT: The artifacts are filtered with a simple low pass filter.

@JoeyLevenson 5 месяцев назад

Doesn’t every analog delay have that. It’s a trimpot, not a mod.

@denisshannon3626 3 месяца назад

Dont try guys this method its nearly destroy my vd400 it took me hours to adjust back to its normal state

@gypsysteve3576 Год назад

Destroyed in what way ...like nearly broke it? Overload to electricals? Or destroyed as in; tone change?

@elti-buron1462 Год назад

@@gypsysteve3576 well the circuit is updated, I ended up breaking it entirely, stopped working. wasted 31 dollars, my suggestion is just be very careful because its super sensitive, once adjusted to your liking try not to repeat the process too often or it'll come off like it did in my case, sad because i bought it for this purpose only, probably just gonna spend 100 bucks on the jhs delay.

@OttosTheName 11 месяцев назад

@@elti-buron1462 These trip-pots aren't meant to tweak a lot like 'proper' pots. The name also kind of implies it, you set it and you let them be. Unlike normal pots they are often rated for 1k turns, but it's quite possible they put in some pretty cheap trimpots because the user isn't supposed to touch them (often). Or maybe they aren't put on very solid.
