Sound Quality:
great sound for price but a boss sounds better. then again they are more expensive.
Reliability/Durability:
PLASTIC my god. You could walk past it a bit to fast and the case falls off. However the insides of it are very good though.
Ease of Use:
I don't normaly deal with effect pedals that much but started to get into them last year. It is very easy to use all you have to do is stomp it and it works, EASY.

Sound Quality:
I don't really have a point of reference for comparing the sound of this  chorus pedal to a bass chorus pedal but it gives me what I want and it sounds good with an acoustic guitar.  I'll get the bass version soon.  I do have a point of reference when it comes to price.  You cant beat the bang for the buck.  As for noise?  I have, on a few occasions, noticed a little noise coming through the monitors but nothing to write home about.  I play bass and acoustic guitar in my church band and there aren't many occasions to get crazy with effects so I keep the chorus just a little wet.  This little $20.00 box does the trick.  BUY IT!  And...It's $20.00
Reliability/Durability:
So far so good.  I've had it for a couple of months and no problems.  I see a lot of people on these reviews beating Behringer over the head about plastic construction.  Its a $20 pedal people.  If you need carbon fiber, Kevlar, surgical grade stainless steel/titanium construction of your effects then I suspect you have an anger management/aggression problem that you're taking out on your equipment.  Seek professional help and don't buy Behringer pedals.  These are not drum kits so do not treat them as such.  Just because it's called a stomp box doesn't mean that's what you have to do to them to make them work properly.  Take care of your stuff and it will take care of you...And it's $20.00  
Ease of Use:
I bought this to try out on an elect/acous guitar but have been running a bass through it.  The manual could be a little more helpful for newbies but you can go to the Digitech site and check out their demos to get a feel for what to do.  It only takes a short period of time to find the sound your looking for.  The battery changing thing is a bit of a pain but I'll get the a/c plug soon...And it was $20.00    
Customer Support:
Haven't had to deal with them but I have read numerous other reviews that spoke highly of their support team.
Overall Rating:
20 bucks y'all.  I highly doubt Kiss or AC/DC are using Behringer pedals but if your like the rest of us "wannabe's" or a "use to be" you cant go wrong here.  20 bucks and you got a decent chorus to use for practice, church, low tech gigs, or just thumping out some notes with your buddies.  Don't let name, price, or bad mouthing keep you from saving a bunch of dollars on your gear.  When you win the lottery then you can throw your money away if you wish.  Until then buy this pedal.  I'm currently waiting on an Ultra Octaver to arrive in my mail box and I have several more Behringer pedals on my "watch list" on Ebay until payday comes.  I'll let ya know how they do...Did I mention this pedal only cost $20? Take care and I hope this helps... E

a classic "guns and rosies" clean sound, best chorus pedal ever, sounds great with harmonics when playing with the um100
Reliability/Durability:
i dont care about all this its flimsy and shit, u can throw it around and the nobs may come off ( if u pull them) the fact is that most people are not going to put a chainsaw to this and it will work well in gig situations
Ease of Use:
i plugged it in and i got an amazing sound out of it :)

Reviewer Background:
Purchased From:
EBAY
Price:
$26.00 USD
Features:
Sound Quality:
I play 80% of the time with distortion.It's sounds ok with distortion,and sounds a lot better on clean setting.I think you get what you pay for out of pedals.I payed like $25.00 for this and it works you know.It sounds good for somethings but if your a serious musican and have to have the best sounds you be better off with a boss , dod, orsomething in that line.Dont get me wrong though if your wanting that chorus sound and are on a tight budget its great.I dont use one a whole lot so it was perfect for me considering the money.
Reliability/Durability:
The thing is built with some strong plastic or maybe something else.It's pretty tough looking although i wouldnt be hard on it because im sure it wouldnt take too much hard stomping to make it have a short or something.I wouldnt use it for a big gig unless i had to have a chorus pedal and thats all i had.
Ease of Use:
Easy to operate in my opinion.It has four controls level , tone ,rate , and depth.You adjust from min to max.I think almost all single effect stompboxes are easy to use if you know what your looking at.One thing i do hate though is trying to find the battery area.I know i must be dumb but i swear i never have had a problem with many other pedals i used and ive taken this thing apart in three different places and didnt find it so that brings the score down.
Customer Support:
NEVER TRIED WASTE OF TIME
Overall Rating:
i PLAY THRASH METAL STUFF LIKE OLD Metallica ,Megadeth, and pantera mostley so it works using it especially on the times i switch to a clean channel.I set the rate a little less than half way turned and depth half way turned to fatten up my sound .It can kind of make it sound like two guitars are playing when i use it like that and it helps.I mostley play a Jackson dk2 skull design with seymour duncan pickups and humbucker.Use a crate full stack and a fender 110 champion for practice.I got the pedal on ebay,if you are looking for a chorus pedal for under $30.00 its worth checking out , and if you dont like it just sell it again on ebay and get most if not all your money back.

Purchased From:
B Street Music,San Mateo, Cal.

Sound Quality:
The thing I like about this pedal is that only when the controls are maxed does it to sound bad.I bought this pedal in hopes of warming-up my Fender Blues Jr. at lower volumes.Using a HSS strat copy,a Cry-Baby and a Boss DS-1 the clean sound was pretty good but not as full as I had hoped.For the heck of it I plugged in to my Peavey Studio Pro 112 set on the clean channel and found IT, the full warm sound I was looking for.A run through of "Lenny" and "Riveria Paradise" were fun and inspiring.A stomp of the DS-1 dropped me into a Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush zone which was a surprise as I never tried to get Frank's sound but there it was. Pretty cool.
Reliability/Durability:
As this pedals case is made out of plastic I can only give it a 50/50 chance of survival with steady/gig use for more than a year.When I bought the salesman even warned me not to step on it to hard.
Ease of Use:
Four controls (level,tone,rate and depth),A+B outs.This unit is super easy to get a good sound from.

Overall Rating:
I play classic hard rock and blues using a variety of under $1,000 guitars(2 strat copies,2 V copies, Epi lp std +,335 copy ,etc.) and have been playing for over 30 years. A Fender Cyber-Twin is my main amp.Years ago I read an article were a pro player(can't remember who) was asked what he did to get out slumps and he responded by saying he would buy a new pedal or album. I can say this method works as I was getting a little bored with my playing one night and after buying this pedal jamming was fun again.I guess I just needed a jump-start.At $15.00 I feel I got a great deal on inspiration.
