I would also recommend buying the Danelectrode 9V power adapter if you use multiple pedals. You can also buy a 5 gang power cable and daisy chain up to 4 or 5 pedals from the same power supply to make your own pedal board. If you have multiple Danelectro pedals it is a clean way to tie them together. I also bought some short 6 inch instrument cables and daisy chained the pedal inputs/outputs together so I can have mixed effects, or have each one independently.
These pedals have been used almost daily for a couple of months now and I have not had one issue with any to date. A few other guitar player friends that have tried mine out are also very impressed by them. Absolutely a 5 star value!
Don’t let the enclosure fool you with people complaining about how it’s plastic; It’s a solid kind of hard plastic. You would literally have to hulk smash the pedal to break it.

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.
The pedal is made from plastic, but it is surprisingly hefty. I feel pretty confident that I don't have to baby around with it for fear of breaking it. The light on the face of it is nice and bright, and does a nice job of letting you know that the unit is powered on. Even in the darkest of environments, there is no question that this pedal is active/inactive. The knobs have a nice, positive feel to them, and you can hear the difference when they are adjusted, as opposed to some other pedals that I have tried in which the knobs seem to be non-functioning.
I would describe the sound as a generic, basic chorus effect. Somewhere between the built-in effect on a combo and a middle of the road chorus pedal. I have some experience with built in effects on various amp models, and I've always found them to be lame. This is much nicer than any of those.
There are plenty of other Danelectro effects available, and I will be getting some of them as well.

And?
Well guess! No! You won't have to!
I am gonna tell you that there is no way is hell that you will regret the measly amount of money paid for it! Why?
Because it is just well enough good to enjoy and feel like the plastic made effect box shouldn't in no case be a reason for skipping this purchase.
Not only the plastic is thick and really sturdy but the knobs are steady too. A very stable anti slipping base is also a plus. As well the foot switch is responsive without being able to miss it ever.
Smooth enough to switch it barefoot, ah aha!
Now, you either like its design or not but I do.
All those considerations aside. I was attracted by its sound. Yes, enough that this was most of all the main reason to buy it.
Because, the cover is only cover deep and this chorus gives me a feeling. The one of those 80's ones that made me want to buy at the time my first Boss Chorus pedal. At the time, quite a bunch for me.
So, if you care less about brand and price, and stay focus on music, you may enjoy this one!
I do!
