Behringer UC200 Ultra Chorus Pedal

My first chorus pedal. It sounds great and does exactly what I need. Easy to adjust for different effects and responds well. It does have a plastic housing.... I'm sure I'll get many years of use from it. Just don't stomp on it. Hard to beat price with a known brand that I trust, with a sound familiar the same with a brand 5x as much money. Get it

I’m a hobbyist guitarist. I play at church every so often and I play about 2 gigs a year for other stuff . Inbetween that I play at home. This is one of my first pedals and I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it’s cheap plastic but you get what you pay for there. The base is heavy metal.I plan on getting a AC power source because I don’t want to keep pressing on the plastic hinge to change the battery. Once that piece goes then the whole pedal will be trashed. So, that’s my only recommendation if you don’t already have a power source.As for tone; I don’t think I have a very refined ear. I may not be the best for a music tone review but it definitely makes my acoustic electric sounds smoother than ever. I won’t do a lot of traveling with this pedal so it should last forever but we’ll see. I’ll return here to edit this if I have issues. For $30… I’ll probably just throw it away if something does come up. I can’t believe it’s that cheap.

BEHRINGER ULTRA CHORUS UC200 arrived and after reading the instructions I inserted a fresh battery and plugged my guitar into the unit and it into my Black Star amp. There was no change in the sound through the UC200 on or off, other than an intense clicking when all settings were to max. I unplugged my cables, pulled the battery and inserted the battery into my Ultra Metal UM300, plugged in my cables and test passed. Reset the UC200, double checked my connections and routing. No change in the sound. Contacted Amazon via link and I'm returning for exchange. I'll update if all goes well.Okay, here I am as I intended, making an update on the original review. THe return did not cost me anything but the time to package it and send it. I did get the replacement UC200 and it works very well. In fact, compared to units costing sometimes more than double I would say it is worth every penny. The return of the first UC200 was discouraging but only because of the delay.This design may be a less durable design, since the more expensive chorus effect units are metal cases and use a "snap" switch and this unit is a hard plastic/polymer and uses what could be considered a component micro switch. I don't know which type of switch would be more durable to repeated use but thus far where cost was the issue for me, I'm pleased with the sound effect it offers. I'm giving a 4 star not only because of the returned item, but I have some reservations as to the durability of the unit and how the design deviates from what has been a traditional and reliable design. Only time will tell how this unit holds up to my use of it.

great beginner pedal. made of plastic, but works well for home use.

Plastic body, but it's sturdy. Sounds great, easy to use.

This is a good sounding chorus- from full-blown 80s chorus to subtle thickening of a piezo acoustic guitar. It's nice. But... what you have to do do insert/remove a battery is really ridiculous-- basically disassembling the pedal/switch mechanism by pressing in on pins on the side of the pedal that holds it all together- and the parts are all plastic and a real PITA to put back together. I couldn't live with this, sent it back.

Good chorus pedal. It does the job and at a great price.

Product didn’t work and had to return. I had good luck with other behringer pedals. It lit up but the chorus effect could not be heard. Turned up all of the way but barely faint effect heard.
