Great
Very versatile, I use it as my only source of gain. Great for everything from The Strokes (low gain) to Radiohead (high gain). In general get a Behringer pedal when you don’t know if you’ll like a pedal and aren’t comfortable dropping £90+ on a pedal you might like, so if you get a £20 pedal instead, you aren’t dropping big money on a pedal you might not like, and if you really like that sound, then you can go for the big version. Or just buy Behringers in bulk.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I use tone on full, drive either on low, mid, or high gain and then set level to be slightly louder than clean, just for a bit of edge. I know people prefer gain staging but for the Strokes or Radiohead, a mid-heavy and compressed sound really hits the mark.

I put them on all my guitars
I always put these on my guitars and as long as you install and use these properly, you won’t go back to the old style of strap buttons.

Does everything you need it to
It’s a HSS Strat. Nothing more, nothing less. Pickups are prone to an ugly breakup sound and the body is thin but unless you’re a snob, this will do more than enough and serves as a modding platform.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I normally deck the pickups to the pickguard, almost flush to reduce any natural crackling from high output single coils, but I keep my middle pickup raised for punch.

Great
Does everything I need it to as a chorus. I have like 3 proper pedals and this does it the best. Beautiful quality. I play quite consistently and by now the sound of most pedals or settings bugs the living dodo out of me, but this one hasn’t.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Usually follow the rule of 2 knobs to the max, one at about 12-o-clock. That usually does it for me
