«  You can repeat the price? »

It is a mono analog chorus: An input and output jacks, a 9v power supply connector format Boss. All in a surprisingly solid metal casing though a bit bulky, with a plastic cover that hides a 9v battery very easily accessible.
It is brand new in a plastic bag, kind of painful enough to open without cutting your fingers. This is also the only detail that shows Starcaster is a sub-brand of Fender intended primarily for beginners.

UTILIZATION

Five knobs allow you to set this chorus:
- "Level" controls the level of effect.
- "Rate" manages the speed of the effect.
- "Depth" manages its depth.
- "High filter" and "low filter" are used to adjust the equalization.

SOUND QUALITY

This chorus is downright versatile and allows for the settings approach sounds quite different:
With all settings noon, there is a pretty slick chorus in a variety vein / pop (Police is not far).
Upon further the rate and depth of the effect, we arrive at sounds like Leslie / vibrato that can talk to Charlie Oleg choice or Soundgarden (Black Hole Sun).
Small flat, the action of the filters is not the most radical.

OVERALL OPINION

Sold at a ridiculous price in the U.S. (note that shipping generally costs more than the pedal itself), solid, and providing effective and varied sounds, this pedal was for me a real good surprise. Built over two years to my pedalboard, it should stay there much longer.

The pros:
- The sounds.
- Settings.
- The apparent solidity of the case and switch.
- The price (under $ 30)!

The -
- The size (it's bigger than a size Boss, but it is not on the EHX vintage!).
- Filters not really effective.
- Plastic packaging (but not in use it once!).
