I've never been able to get on with behringer stuff before because of the cheap plastic feel to their pedals. But from the pictures, this looks to be better build quality...

Edit: wow, it's only £22 at Thomann. Uber cheap.

FYI that is a copy rip off of the Electro Harmonix Bass Balls effects, my all time favorite effect. Used Bass Balls can often be had about the same price and there is also the Rocktron Heart Attack pedal.
The twin filters (lo & hi) open and sweep past each other giving an almost flanging sound and the fuzz is a thing of ugly beauty. The pedal can be modded with the internal controls outside greatly expanding the possibilities.

yeah yeah yeah. the rocktron heart attack. so is that what the rocktron does?

Cool. I'm after something that sounds a bit auto wah phaser and chorus.

Have a look on YouTube, there may be some reviews. I'd go for ehx over behringer any day

The Rocktron is a sort of dressed up version but it is a bit on the large size.
