Behringer172 Phase Shifter/Delay/LFO Eurorack Module

The delay, is not an audio Delay. This at first confused me. You get a Gate Delay which is great in your generative designs as well texturing sounds. The Phase Shifter feels like a phaser and the Delay feels like a chorus. This isn't a FUBAR on Behringer's part, it's the original titling that Roland used on their original System 100m's. The LFO is basic, but works, and who doesn't have room for another LFO?A must if you're looking to replicate a 100m or if you could use more effects in your rack.

Great clone for the money of the classic Roland modular. Phaser. Flanger ( reads delay but it is a flanger a kind of delay) due to the way Roland titled it. Gate delay. Lfo. Great bang for the buck.Modular snow here mostly in MU and Euro.

Update: I’m basically an idiot and did not spend enough time researching the proper use of this module. Once I spent 15 minutes on YouTube to understand it better, I think it’s a great module. The phase shifter does allow for proper frequency modulation, it’s just that the panel is a bit misleading. It’s a pretty subtle phase shifter, but it does add a bit of depth and movement. The “audio delay” circuit is basically a flanger (which does involve delay, of course), so Roland just kind of mis-named it back in the day, and Behringer stuck with the nomenclature. I don’t think the flanger sounds all that good but that’s OK. The LFO is useful and is normalled to the frequency modulation on the phase shifter, but can also be used elsewhere. All that said, this is definitely not a “must have” module, but also not the total loss that I first thought.——And yes, I am a completist, so I fell for it 😅. I’m a big fan of the 100 series modules. Great value. But this one is a little disappointing. I say consider saving your money and space for something better.While it does do the phaser things, the phaser is really subtle IMO, and while you can modulate it, you are only modulating the intensity — not the frequency or the resonance, and that’s pretty dumb, IMO. I haven’t bothered with the “audio delay” circuit. I have real delays for that. At least this module is inexpensive, and you do get an LFO and a gate delay as part of the deal 🤷🏻‍♂️. All that said, my complaints may not be reasonable, since this is a clone of a classic module from Roland, so it duplicates the IMO questionable design choices Roland made. On the other hand, you might fairly dismiss my opinions since Roland generally know what they are doing 😊.

It's a very good copy of the original Roland module, albeit squeezed down to Eurorack 5"x3" form factor, so the knobs are tiny and crowded together. It's kind of boring and pedestrian, just like the original. If you're looking for a dramatic phase shifter, like a Small Stone, look for something else. If you're looking for a digital echo, don't be fooled by the "audio delay" here, as it's more properly flanging.I will keep this module, as it does have its uses, but they are subtle.

Not very noticeable as audio delay or phaser. The effect is minimal and not pleasing.

It is a clone, and sounds spot on to the original, but not having the blend pots on the panel for mixing wet/dry adds and requires an extra patch point to a mixer.
