There are hi, mid and lo EQs (but no gain controls), a push encoder for library browsing, and buttons for loading (on up to four software decks) and headphone cueing.Īcross the top are controls for auto-looping, headphones (cue/master and volume), microphone volume and master volume. Unusually, the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO has its inputs and outputs on the sides, not the front and back.Īll the faders are small, with the tempo faders being the longest, and the short crossfader slightly looser than the two upfaders.

Unusually, there are no sockets, switches or anything else on either the front or the back – the USB, on/off switch and headphones sockets (1/8″ and 1/4″ TRS) are on the left-hand side of the unit, and the master out (2 x RCAs), Mic (1/4″ TRS) and Kensington lock hole are on the right-hand side. The decently sized (relatively) jogwheels are polished brushed metal with plastic rims and are surrounded in a circular design by the transport controls, cue buttons and effects/sampler buttons – more on these later. Once plugged in, there’s a colour show from the jogwheels for you anyway. The DDJ-WeGo has an all-plastic casing, which is rounded on the front two corners, and it is “wedge” shaped, rising quite a lot at the back to angle the controls towards the user. The black model I had appeared pretty sober before being plugged in, but of course, with a number of bright coloured cases available, the choice is yours.

It’s small, but chunky and nicely made, with a decent amount of weight to it. Let’s review it in depth… First Impressions & Setting Up

It has everything you need to learn to DJ, in a small, affordable and stylish package. It comes in a number of colours, and you can even adjust the colours of the software skin and the jogwheels on the controller too! But this isn’t all style, no substance the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO is, as it turns out, a serious contender at its market price point. The Pioneer DDJ-WeGO is a small, entry-level DJ controller, aimed squarely at consumers and those who are wanting to learn to DJ.
