Harley Benton Custom Line CH-5 Chorus 4-stars Reviews

A good entry level chorus

This was a gift to a guitarist that never had a chorus before. I did get a chance to do a round of testing with it myself.

Pros:

- Very usable chorus sound

- Quite a wide range of controls to get from the most subtle to flange territory

- Very affordable and good value for money

Cons:

- Not the highest quality HB pedal, for example, the HB looper feels a lot more solid.

- Takes a lot of space

- Does add a colour to the tone

Overall, this is a perfectly acceptable option and the person who was the gift for enjoys it immensely, but this is a case of you get what you pay for (that is not true for all HB pedals). The button does not feel very high quality neither do the knobs and it feels a bit flimsy. The tone is altered when the pedal is in the chain and is altered even more when the pedal is engaged, even if the effect levels are subtle. It is not a bad tone per se but be aware.

In conclusion, I would definitely recommend to those who would like to try a chorus but if you are serious about your chorus save some money and go a price point higher.

Good Value-Quality-Price Deal

For this price, I could not expect more from this pedal....

Very sensitive knobs setting, offers a very deep and cold chorus, which I like very much.

Metal casing, which proves to be very durable as compared to plastic casing pedals, a fits for heavy duty live situation.

I would recommend anyone to purchase this chorus pedal Custom Line from Harley Benton.

An OK chorus pedal

I can't complain too much because it's really cheap, but I've found it sucks volume/tone a bit, and so should have some way to counteract this, and probably should be stereo for a 'custom line' pedal. To be honest, I should have returned this and gotten something else, but I left it too long for the 30 day return. But it sounds OK, and was cheap. so....
