About this product
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 is a scratch-style 2-channel DJ controller designed for use with Serato DJ Lite. It features a USB Type-B connection and includes jog wheels suited for scratching. Weighing compact and portable, this controller is ideal for beginner to intermediate DJs looking to learn scratch techniques. The unit comes in black and is manufactured in Japan.
Our take
I picked up the DDJ-REV1 to get into scratching without breaking the bank. It's a solid little controller for Serato DJ Lite, though you'll quickly want to upgrade the software. The jog wheels feel decent for the price, and the layout is intuitive. Build quality is typical Pioneer—not premium but reliable. My main gripe is the flimsy faders; they work fine for basic mixing but lack the durability for heavy scratching. Also, only USB connectivity limits expandability. That said, for $284 it's a great entry point but you'll outgrow it fast.
