A classic, reborn 
| Ease Of Use |
The CC300 is a standard compact pedal so you get 1/4" in, mono and stereo outs. Power is from a 9V battery or standard mains adaptor.
The CC300 is a clone of the Boss DC-2 from the late 80s (which, if you can find one on a popular auction site, will set back 6 times the price of the Behringer) and shares its unusual control layout. Instead of the control knobs found on other pedals, the CC300 has a bank of 4 pushbuttons to activate 4 different preset chorus sounds. It doesn't get any easier than this.

| Sound |
The sounds on offer range from very, very subtle to just subtle, which is exactly how I like my chorus effects. Users of the original Boss pedal discovered that they could access additional sounds by holding in more than one of the four buttons at a time, and the Behringer also gives you this option.
The CC300 will add a depth to your clean tones and, in partnership with a delay and a big reverb will produce some massive sounds, if that's your thing (if you're a big Cocteau Twins fan, for example). With no knobs to twiddle, you can get on with the playing without worrying about dialing in the perfect sounds.

| Reliability |
I'm sure the electronics are solid but there's a reason why this pedal is so cheap: the chassis is made of (whisper it) plastic so I wouldn't go dropping an amp on it or anything. That said, even if you buy two of them to give you a spare, it's still a bargain price. And just how reliable is a 20 year-old Boss pedal?

- Great, subtle chorus unit with more variety than the simple control layout would suggest
- Recreates a long-gone classic
- So cheap it would be rude not to buy one
|
| Didn't like |
- Plastic chassis
- Fiddly battery cover requires a tool to open
- The original was a funky lilac colour, this is boring black
