About this product
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 is a scratch-style 2-channel DJ controller designed for Serato DJ Lite. It features a double-deck layout with large jog wheels, dedicated performance pads, and a built-in sound card. The controller includes a USB-powered design and is compatible with Serato DJ Pro (upgrade required). This bundle comes with a soft carrying case for portability. Priced at $328.40, it is targeted at beginner to intermediate DJs interested in scratch techniques.
Our take
The DDJ-REV1 is a fantastic controller for scratching on a budget. The jog wheels are responsive and the layout mimics a traditional turntable setup, making it easy to transition from vinyl. The included soft case is a nice bonus for mobile gigs. Build quality is typical Pioneer—solid but not heavy. My only gripes are the limited number of pads (only four per deck) and the reliance on Serato DJ Lite out of the box. For $328, it's a great value if you're into scratch DJing, but beatmatching purists may want more controls.
