Ned a decent inexpensive chorus pedal

I've been thinking about trying out a few of the analog Behringer pedals. I've read their digital stuff is not up to par, but the analog stuff seems to be. I have a VD-400 and it's pretty great for the price. They're quite easy to find here in Mexico.

It's not that their digital stuff isn't up to par but more along the lines of they can't quite get the code right to mimic the pedal they are trying to clone. The pedals work just like they supposed to, they're just a little off in the exact sound. The analog pedals that they mimic are pretty easy to clone.

Behringer makes a nice starter pedal but they won't hold up over the long run like the name brand pedals do. My oldest pedal is a MXR Distortion + from 1983 and it still works fine today even after regular use over the last 35 years. I think the only way to get an entry level Behringer to last that long is to leave it in the box. They use plastic cases and cheaper electronics that I believe just won't stand the test of time.

Me, I think that no one, ever, wanted to use a Bellwanger pedal for 35 years. Or 25. Mebbe 5, if they don't play much ...
