Ease of Use

So, one of my first effect long time ago was exar chorus cs01. since then the brand changed the effects and the target, actully everythihg chnged. But usage of chorus pedals still remains the same. We got the same 4 knobs like on Boss CH1: e.level, tone, rate, depth. There is very wide amount of sounds coming from the item, so the pots charasteristic is very wide. I would say its very creative open effect. Stomp on/off works perfectly fine, effect is smaller then Boss - its MXR Phase90 size - actually. Colors are nice nd U can see everything. U got some mnufacturer settings in the manual, but its really easy to use, as every stomp box chorus.

This chorus dont change ur sound in bad way at all, on or off. It built out of the best parts, handmade so there is nothing like tone changing or sth like that. There is only a warm chorus added to ur primary sound when on. The sound sound quality is actully amazing, smooth, warm, clear and very very good. U can go from variety of sounds. I checked it on my Mrshall tsl and i find it better then Boss Super chorus at the moment. It is more effective :) simple say. Got variety of guitars and its worx fine with singles and humbs, check out my movies:

Reliability

Its little bit like toy, thats the Polish constructors design, but its solid metal effect with some plastic addons. Made of the best parts, handmade, and they give U warranty for lifetime, even like that: for 3 years the will change it into new one. So I think we got a new brand on the market and some of the guys may like it.

Weel, I play mostly metal/core music, but chorus was always in my gear. At the moment can choose from Boss, Exar and TC and find Exar the best out of it.
