Ease of Use
:
10
Very simple to use, just speed and intensity. There really isn't much need for a manual for a chorus pedal, IMHO. Good thing, too --the "User's Guide" gives a basic rundown of other Voodoo Lab products with minimal guidance, and there's no mention of the Analog Chorus in the one I got (maybe NOS?, I guess it could have been printed prior to the release of the chorus).
Sound Quality
:
10
This is THE sound! Having grown up in the 60's and 70's, I was weaned on the old Boss pedals --and this nails it! From a very subtle shimmer to a flat out cascade (Led Zep's "No Quarter", anyone?) this pedal is it. And with true bypass, there's no tone loss when it's off. "Close the door, put out the light..."
Reliability
:
10
This is a very rugged unit, with a heavy duty switch --I have no doubt that it could take a significant amount of abuse.
Customer Support

No Opinion
I haven't been in contact with Voodoo Labs, but if they conduct their business in half the professional, honest and helpful manner that I've seen Josh Fiden conduct himself on the Forum, I'm sure their support will be great!
Overall Rating

I play mostly instrumental fusion/prog and this is a great pedal to fill out the clean tones. I would definitely buy it again, and probably should at this price! I A/B'd it with a Rocktron Tsunami, and a Boss Super Chorus, and this had the sound I was looking for. The only thing I wish it had was an LED, so you could tell if it's on without playing, but I understand that in order to do this, they would've had to compromise on the quality of the switch...or something to that effect.
