General Comments
Overall, it's a great chorus pedal for the price. I think it can hang with the more expensive mass-produced units like the Boss CE-2, EHX Small Clone, or the earlier Ibanez CS-9, and actually eclipse those units due to it's greater parameter control. Current-production Maxon pedals are quite expensive, and the company tag is that they still build them the way they did back in the 80s. Their CS-550 Chorus has the exact same control layout as this unit, and it retails for more than US$200. I'm not saying it's the exact same circuit or of the exact same quality, but they're built by the same company, using the same vintage parts. I'd be surprised if, side-by-side, a CS-550 sounded US$170 better than an SC10.
I've since sold this unit because the presence boost didn't work with my setup, but I've a BC10 Bass version on the way, which offeres the exact same control layout as this unit, but I'm hoping will be more mellow than its "super" cousin.
