Hard to believe they can produce something like this at this price-level, (no matter where it was made),.
Pro's; Bargain for those needing a usable chorus. Decent sound. Case heavy enough not to slide around.
Cons; plastic case, (seems heavy enough though and good enough to last a long time ), Plastic knobs and plastic thumb screw for bottom cover, (please change it to metal dano - I'll explain why below in conclusion),. Blue led sure is overly bright in our opinion. Sound; isn't the best or worst - but very usable and versatile.
Conclusion; I have another chorus but needed a second for a different setup. Didn't want to spend much. I'm happy with the dano. It does the job well enough indeed. The sound is not as 3d as some of the more costly others, (if that makes sense),. Yes, it does all the different various kinds of chorus but they're a tad flat, (don't get mad at me - just another guy's opinion),. I'd chose something else for recording if the chorus was a key element and I was being picky, (again - hope that makes sense),.
I put a battery in it, placed my foot on the switch, (maybe a speck too hard?), and a very loud cracking sound occurred. I thought, uh-oh, I broke the case first try,...or the pc switch board inside. All was o-k. Apparently, it's easy to miss the small grove for the bottom plate. If using batteries, care must be taken replacing it - at least on mine. I put pressure on the device and the base plate must have snapped extremely hard into place. That made me worry about the the plastic thumb screw holding the bottom plate on. Don't want to strip-it.
Would I buy it again? Yup! Love danelectro stuff. Just giving user feedback is all. And, since I love danelectro; the family knows well that I want one of the axes for Christmas.! I made sure of it, lol.
Cheers.
