Cool pedal
If you are a beginner this is the pedal that has a decent sound for individual control rates and more. if your advanced great second pedal price it goes out of phase with your multi-effects pedal unit.

Killer
I LOVE this pedal, phenomenal, thick tones, sounds like two guitars playing at once. Nice and shiny sound, would recommend to anybody regardless of price point.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Depth-all the way up, Effect level-all the way up, speed-halfway up. Run it after distortion.

Nice
This thing is great. I do want to upgrade to a Neo Clone so I might end up replacing it, but I like it. The only thing I don't like is that you have to turn the volume all the way up to really hear a difference in tone but that's not that big of a deal.

It's an acquired taste
This isn't the average chorus pedal. For $20, it's really good but at the same time it's has a very unique tone that it has. It has a very spacey vibe. If you're in the need for a chorus pedal and are on a budget or just want an odd sounding pedal, this is for you

Reliable and cheap!
For such a cheap and often underrated pedal, the Danelectro FAB Chorus has been a staple in my single chain pedalboard for a long time now; its easily manipulable knobs and perfect tone make it the perfect selection for any guitarist who doesn't want to go out of their way paying for a fancy chorus pedal.

Bang for the Buck
Found this in my dad's collection and started using this when I first began playing guitar. I still come back to it. Not a bad chorus by any means, definitely one of the better Danelectro pedals.

Great cheap chorus pedal!
Works like a charm. Sounds pretty darn good, and costs less than two mixed drinks at a bar. Really can't complain about this one :)

Hahaha, very true!

very dirty, and makes a lot of static sound.
Noisy but gets the job done. I has a lot of dynamic considering i paid 8 USD dollars for it, it can get weak and strong chorus sounds which is nice.
This is 30 f**king dollars?!?!
For $30, no, for any budget this is a more than acceptable pedal. 3 knobs, easy design, and extremely durable, this is THE definitive chorus pedal. PERIOD.
