Fun
My mate, Dave Simpson, gifted this to me when I visited his amazingly wonderful store, Heron Music, in Bristol UK. Please visit his store.
This pedal is now being used on the GUST Sessions with Neil Davidge (Massive Attack, Halo, DNA) The pedal reminds me of the Korg and also the FM4 / Filterpro from Line 6.
If you can grab one, you will have fun!

Wouldn't pay more than I did for this.
This synth pedal is quite obviously modeled on the Boss Bass Synthesizer stompbox, but since it is made with much cheaper components, and costs less you get less. This pedal is supposed to make your electric bass sound like a bass synthesizer, and it does to a certain extent. Some of the waveforms you can choose from sound like acid house shit that somehow escaped from the 90's.

Satisfying
Despite knowing this is a Behringer pedal, I find it to be very suitable for a wide array of synth sounds. You can nail Muse's "Time Is Running Out" on setting 1, and there is much fun to be had with the 11 different modes and an expression pedal. The problem is, of course, note tracking: to return to the Muse references, bear in mind you won't be playing Hysteria with this on, for the simple reason that the pedal is too slow to follow notes even at a medium speed. Unless you use an expression pedal to control the sweep yourself.

Big sound for a little value
