Value For Money : Excellent
Chorus pedal with three knobs called Vintage (Depth, Speed ​​and Mix), an inlet, an outlet and a standard diet type Boss.
It's plastic but it holds good: no problem to activate the foot, it will not crack. on the other hand, forget the lights (especially since it's a chorus ...), the full metal finish (jacke. ..) and stuff .. It's cheap and you can feel when inspecting closely the finish.

UTILIZATION

The manual ... A brief description of the product and shoo! No need to have more comment, though some proposals have been popular settings.
Very easy to configure the three knobs have a marked effect on the sound.
The knobs are easy to turn quickly and easily accessible but the red line which serves as a marker is barely visible.

SOUND QUALITY

Tested with:
Squier Strato standard, Fender Telecaster '62 Mexico to:
Blackheart 5W (lamps), Line6 Spider3 15W (very bad way) and a 50W bass combo with an Orange Crush Aria Precision bass.

And much noise ... We must love as stated in the title! The effect is absolutely transparent. It feels good vintage appearance intended by the manufacturer but it lacks that little something that makes "that". Many of breath, an almost caricature depending on the settings (so some will like, others not). The chorus is not organic, living and not air. It is a bit heavy and it snores loud enough ...
A small word with a low: Its narrow, compressed, not top.
To summarize (and I repeat): You have to love and forget what transparency means.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it 6-7 months, I tried 5-6 pedals from the pedal to 15 euros (Behringer for not naming it) to the pedal so-called "boutique".
I took it for its price, for grain actually rather endearing.

What I like least? Breath, turn transparent and absolutely not finish: On my copy, I had two three resolder stuff because son had been the trunk! After that, well ... it is good but you need a soldering iron handy so.

It is a good value for money as long as yours has no defects in welds. For the price, there is a chorus with a personality (well not exactly, it's a pretty chorus "dirty").

I do not do it again this choice: After testing for some time I prefer the chorus finally clear to those who distort the guitar sound like this.
If we can put more in his foot, then it may be very appropriate.
(The rating is not an average of other categories, rather an overall sense of what it is)
