Behringer ULTRA CHORUS UC200 Ultimate Stereo Chorus Effects Pedal, Yellow

Much better than I expected. I used to have a Boss DS1 and didn't like the sound. This however, used on a low distortion setting and after my Behringer Vintage tube overdrive (which btw is excellent) produces a thick but "pleasantly dirty" sound just right for blues rock. It's dead useful that it has EQ settings too. A good choice.

Case is plastic so may not take a battering, changing the battery is fiddly. Current drain is 160mA so a PP3 battery will only last a few hours if used continuously. Sounds decent enough and plenty of versatility so at the price still good value.

I'm updating this review to reflect how my opinion has changed over time: this is the best Wah for bass currently being sold, regardless of price. As with most Behringer products this is massively underpriced even with the budget cutting materials. It doesn't feel weak or tacky, I have a Morley too and even though it's basically two slabs of material that you can jump on if you like I don't feel anxious when I switch to the behringer, it's solid. I use many wahs in many wahs. The hellbabe goes so well after my distortion chain, I can either avoid the upper range by using the frequency control or control that fuzz and get some excellent bass stabs that cut through when I need them to. It isn't as fun on its own as my Morley or My George Dennis but as part of a chain this pedal is so versatile and truly works as a true bass wah or as a lead wah for distorted bass that sits high in the mix. As you can see from my photos I have a good frame of reference. Most of my pedals are Boss, EHX or they are amazing pedals from companies that are famous in other areas, like Fender or Marshall. Behringer pedals hold their own, this and the tube modeller are overpowered for their price, and the sansamp copy isn't awful either.

This pedal is amsolutely fantastic for the price. Pure HM2 grind! Everything dimed but dial the mid knob back ever so slightly to get that original Boss HM2 tone. Shame its plastic.

This product came within stated delivery times. I am fairly new to playing guitar, have only been playing for a year now and wanted to ‘experiment’ with some accessories. Having read the reviews I thought I would buy this considering the price. I actually bought a Behringer SF-300 Super Fuzz too so am writing this review to incorporate that as well.. again I am new to this so wanted to try other methods. I have two guitars both of which entry level Rockburns bought from Amazon- one being an Stratocaster style the other Les Paul2 style. I had already bought new/better strings and purchased a better amp too at around £70, again not top end but better than most ‘entry level’ ones. I read some reviews beforehand about being made of cheap plastic etc and not worth the money and all that, to be honest I done think they could be further from the truth. Packaging was really good the box looked like a good quality product inside and indeed I was not disappointed. The product certainly does not look or feel cheap. At first I thought it was metal but you could tell it was strong plastic. How this could be an issue I don’t know unless you have feet like a rino or intend using it with sledge hammer I cant see why this would pose an issue. To be honest unless you are one of these snobs that think you only get great quality from spending £100’s you will love it. I am no professional guitarist but can tell good quality and this is made very well indeed. Cant see spending stupid money for something a fraction of the price, unless you are a top rock band and producing your recording your own music! There is a battery compartment, I recommend you read the manual first !! I don’t often do this lol.. but it does clearly state how to access this and it is very simple, I think you can find this on youtube anyway but READ THE INSTRUCTIONS !! I also bought an adapter for it which all works well together. The sound is really great There is nothing spectacular here, just a good if generic pedal that does what it says on the box. It works, be better if it was easier to find the battery compartment. A sign saying 'Batteries Here.' would be a good idea. I found it after watching a YouTube video. Simple really. Behringer is a big company and although not great innovators, they do know their stuff when it comes to quality and value. Go ahead and buy one! Basically this pedal represents superb value for money. Good range of tones and sustain. I think the build quality is absolutely fine. Yes, it's not metal but it's still very robust. All in all, this is a steal.

Sadly I got the high pitched whining noise as soon as I plugged it in, tried different amps, guitars and cables just in case but same problem

Good value, and greta wah sound. Easy to switch between wah and no wah wah. One small thing, you need to disconnect the battery if you don't want to drain it instantly when not in use

Fairly well documented now that this is more or less identical to the pedal it's based on which is many times the price. If you want to try vibrato on a budget it really is the only pedal for the job. Covers everything from a subtle movement to underwater sci fi noise weirdness.
