  Still have my two chorus pedals that were both DOA and no refund or communication from Donner.

  Definitely wouldn't recommend taking the chance based on this experience.

    Have you tried the chat function on their website? Was able to get a quick refund from a minor issue in my guitar recently.

      I'll try that, thanks. I'd prefer they sorted the issue rather than refunded but I've got neither.

  The Donner Rep has a history of posting fake deals on here more expensive than their eBay store. Isn't this the same model?

  I just bought the lekato looper for $60 (Amazon). It's great… so far.

  USB to save your loops. 3 loop availables. Has a mode where it will start recording when it hears audio, which I find very handy. Also has a tuner built in

  The Donner website RRPs are blatantly false. If you are after a Donner looper, you're better with either of these from their ebay store:

  Triple Looper - $79.99 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203985588145 (note the "RRP" on their site is $169)

  Looper One - $59.99 - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/204081145852

  but note all of their pedals have been on sale for as low as $40 in the past.

  Ive got a few of their pedals and only had one which was playing up. After sending a few videos showing the problem (and a few follow-up emails), they issued me a full credit and let me keep the pedal (I think it was a crunch or overdrive and only problem was a mode switch). Admittedly, I only buy these when they are on 'special' (and by special I mean when the price is low enough to justify me buying another pedal I don't really need!). But, so far, the rest aren't too bad, as long as you realise you're not buying Ibanez or Boss. Based on the build quality and performance of my other pedals, I'd probably consider this one if I didn't already have a looper.
  BTW: I wish these pedals had been around (and at these prices) years ago when I was learning to play. <Insert old-age 'sigh' here>

  This or a second hand rc1 for a bit more?

  Elsewhere, I’ve bought a couple of donner pedals (blues driver, dynamic wah, flange) when they’ve hit the $30 mark, pretty impressed for the price

  I’ve heard behringher makes a good boss chorus clone.

  Can anyone recommend a DS1 clone?

  I used to run with mostly Ibanez rigs, with the exception of one Boss digital delay pedal. The DS-1 is fairly unique, but there are a lot of options out there. My theory is if you play loud enough, you lose your hearing and most overdrive and distortion pedals start to sound the same. For mucking around, I bought a Boss Katana 50 amp (and a Katana Mini and a Spark 40), and the Katana has a load of Boss 'pedals' built in. For true enthusiasts, digital doesn't compare to good old analog, but fortunately I'm not one of them. I'll take versatility over authenticity any day (and for the days I won't, I've got my Peavey 120w amp and a heap of discounted Donner pedals!)

    Do you prefer the boss katana over the spark 40? I have the spark and thinking of getting boss katana 50 as another amp.

      I love the sound of the Spark, especially considering it's size. The Katana is more customisable using the extra apps available on App Store/Google Play. I use a couple (Katana Librarian and KatamanPro) which let you tweak on the fly instead of having to plug into a Mac/PC and use Boss's average software. I also bought a couple of AirStep footswitches for the amps. They let you choose between changing channels or toggling effects. Very handy while playing. If you've got the Spark, check out this site: https://soundshed.com/
      There is an app you can download, or you can use Chrome/Edge, that lets you connect your PC to the amp via bluetooth and basically do most of the stuff the Spark app does, with a bit more flexibility.
      As far as sound goes between the two amps, the Katana is a pretty loud beast. I run it at the .5watt level, and rarely use it on the higher power levels (25w(?) and 50w). Serious guitarists mock some of these types of amps, but for home recording and jamming, they are fine. I read a few reviews where the guy said he actually uses it for gigging, and with the amp set at 50 watt, it'll hold up well against a non-miked drumkit. My Katana is the series 1 and I think I paid around $290 a few years ago. My mate One of the guys I was teaching bought the 100watt model, which is a lot beefier and has double the memory slots for storing presets.

          @johnyBgood: Not a problem at all. Keep an eye on Manny's for the Katana. They always seem to run a promo on them (well, they used to, anyway). The new Series 2 has a better control array, with dual knobs in place of a single. If you can afford (and justify) the extra, I'd probably go the new model, but if you can get your hands on a good condition second-hand series 1, you won't be disappointed. I generally flick between the Spark and the Katana and hardly use my Peavey. The volume that comes out of these amps, as you know by owning a Spark, is more than adequate. If you're happy with the Spark, maybe invest in the Airstep SPK and forget about the Katana? They were real cheap a few weeks ago (well,compared to what I paid for it, anyway). Read up on it first to make sure you understand what it does, but that addition made the unit a lot more playable for me.
          Good luck, and have fun.
