My wife knew one of the items on my Christmas wishlist was a Chorus pedal. She was in Target and happened to see one.

It was actually well built and had a nice sound to it.

But it stopped working after only several uses. I am right now trying to get the receipt dug up. I noticed someone else had reported this problem down on the "Fender Pedals" subject ( http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ ... php?t=4628 ), so I thought I'd start this thread to see if anyone else has one of these and had the same thing happen. Seems like too much of a coincidence that the only forum on the internet that I could find on these pedals had someone reporting an identical problem.

I ended up making an exchange. I hope the new one doesnt die also after several uses...

the problem with mine is that it only works with a battery when i plug in a power supply it just bypasses any help?

take it back and get your money.
go get you a good used Boss chorus.
they are everywhere.

+1 All that Starcaster stuff is garbage. It's the only thing worse than Behringer/Bugera
The Boss stuff sounds better and will last a really long time.

I know, why can't they make a decent switch?

i wouldnt buy digitech if it was the last..............

i have a GSP legend. used it for a week and its still settin where i put it a decade plus ago. even has the big pedalboard that came with it.

the monkey pedal isnt half bad for the budgeted folks.

Utter nonsense. Theres nothing at all wrong with Behringer or Digitech's gear.

ok niki, i guess it depends on what your comparing it to.
as for me, im comparing it to way better stuff for not much more money.
i think both companies can offer way way way better gear for the money
they are asking for very very very low grade stuff.
lets look at deltalabs. great stuff, built like tanks, quality tones,
smokes digitech.

for the metal guys.

i own a TO1. a friend gave it to me to try. i liked it a lot.
so much even thats its part of my pedalboard today. sets right
beside my OCD. i do understand a few folks on here own digitech stuff
and thats fine if thats what works for them. (raise the bar guys) but
compared to same price range gear digitech fails in everyway.
as for Behringer, i cant count how much of their stuff ive seen fail during use.

Unless someone who does nothing except play with their knob(s) in their bedroom is having wet dreams about how much they were conned into paying for some clone of a pedal, and then spouting about it on some forum. People will always assess gear incorrectly or cite common opinion made by such people.
You haven't played every product either company has put out, so what qualifies you to make such disparaging remarks?

BTW cost has little to do with the quality of pedals. Certainly a lot less than it has to do with marketing hype, how much a builder can con you into believing how much the thing is worth. And how much of a fashion statement how much paid is to the purchaser.

I can guarantee you non of those rip offs you linked, or your OCD cost more than a Digitech RP50 to design and build. And they sound bland too, very uninspiring. Oh and look at the rig, do you think you're hearing the pedal? You're hearing a rig a DRZ and a Cornford amp, multiple mic's, plenty of leads going out of camera shot too. Never mind the outboard eq'ing. Infact given the obvious effort gone to on that video, I think the sound quality is downright poor.
You may believe that rubbish is real, don't ask me to be fool enough to.

dang niki, looks like i stepped on some toes here. lol
please tell us how to assess gear correctly. in detail please.

"You haven't played every product either company has put out, so what qualifies you to make such disparaging remarks"?

how do you know what ive played? i have a feeling your a digitech owner arent you?
has to be. hey all of this is just my opinion niki. we play what we like and always play what we can best afford. i just dont care for either company mentioned.
i did say that their bad monkey wasnt half bad didnt i? so i didnt put down everything they make, just most of it. as a hole in my opinion digitech sucks.
just because they make 1 or 2 ok products doesnt mean they are any good as a company or product line. thats like saying a ball team that only wins one or two games in the season is a good ball club. lol no, they suck too.

"BTW cost has little to do with the quality of pedals. Certainly a lot less than it has to do with marketing hype, how much a builder can con you into believing how much the thing is worth. And how much of a fashion statement how much paid is to the purchaser".

your correct but a cheaply built pedal is only as good as the parts its made from.
please believe me, i dont pay anything close to retail for any of my gear that i buy.
i dont have to. (some things i keep to myself)


"I can guarantee you non of those rip offs you linked, or your OCD cost more than a Digitech RP50 to design and build. And they sound bland too, very uninspiring".

lol how do you know they are rip offs? have you played everything they make?
(You haven't played every product either company has put out, so what qualifies you to make such disparaging remarks)
maybe the same thing that just qualified you to do the same.
different standards maybe??


"Oh and look at the rig, do you think you're hearing the pedal"?


it just sounds like the effect ran through a DR Z amp to me. sure the effect will sound differently through different amps. you saying that a good amp will make a shiot pedal sound good? no a good amp will sound like a good amp running a shiot pedal.

sorry to have stepped on your toes or hurt your feelings by my opinion niki. seriously, its just my opinion, doesnt mean its worth anything.

You haven't stepped on my toes or hurt my feelings at all. I'm not the one making sweeping generalizations about companies based on their product pricing. I also don't choose products for price or artist endorsment. Infact I think if a company has to get artist endorsment to sell so many kinds of the same thing, like MXR and Dumbflop. Then it speaks volumes about their lack of faith in their product. The exact same can be said of manufacturers who demo their gear through a load of outboard processing too.

I'm far too confident in my ability to hear to rely on such rubbish.

Are you kidding me, you thought those video's sounded good? Man if thats sounding good, I want to sound bad. The easy way to assess a pedal is by listening to the pedal. Not the amps, guitar, baldy guitarist whoever he is, or the mixing desk processor.

no my opinion isnt based on product prices. ive tried a lot of digitech stuff honestly.
way back when i had high hopes for them. they came out and hit the ground running.
i knew at first they wouldnt do so hot.
1, they were new and everybody else had an established fan base.
2, they had a lot of trial and error yet to go through.
i had high hopes like i said. i like new companies because they usually have fresh new ideas in the way of customer service, and products. i always give the new company
a shot. ok so i got the GSP 21. sent it back and they upgraded it for me.
they had the pro's come in and program the unit and made each one a new patch.
i liked the new patch's but the effects still seemed dry to me.
so i tried different rack rigs and still the same opinion.
i found myself in opportunity to try a few pro rigs that were of the digitech design.
(loaded with digi stuff) some of the stuff wasnt offered to the public at that time, dont know if it ever did make it to production. still the same opinion, very functional, but dry.
i parked the digitech and went Alesis Quadraverb, yamaha SPX-90, eventide, ART, and the likes. i dont remember what all way in there or what i even have left to be honest.

you get the idea though. ok so time went on and i stopped playing altogether. things changed. everybody went back to pedals. glad i kept mine and didnt get rid of them. keeps the clones to a minimum lol.
still after all this time digitech and zoom, another company i had high hope for, didnt seem to change one bit even though they had every opportunity to.
maybe my opinion is disappointment based. zoom was packing all the right effects in the right products. they had good sounds in my opinion. they were on the right track. quality and affordability. they had punch in such small products too, it was amazing.
it just seems all these companies mentioned took the back seat as other companies leaped forward.
yeah i thought those tones jude had were sweet for what he had to use. you gotta remember, my background is metal. very suprised that DR Z could do it honestly.
not that they arent a quality product, they are, but not your average idea of a metal amp. i know deltalabs gets a bad rap because they are owned by GC, but they are best bang for the buck in my opinion. they cost between $40 and $60. i havent heard the digital unit yet though. they are a good bet for the newbie, and the budget minded folks to get the tones they are after.

The stuff I've owned from Behringer and Digitech are landfill and were utter pieces of garbage. I do have Ibanez stuff that's still kicking after 30 years, so is my Fender Fuzz Wah. Sorry Niki, but it's not nonsense in the least. I've been building and modding my own effects as well as etching my own boards for years. The Behringer stuff as well as the Starcaster stuff is IMO total noisyass garbage. I love cheap stuff too so price has nothing to do with anything. I don't own even one high priced piece of gear. But everything I own works and works well.
