Generally, my philosophy is "buy once, cry once."

You buy a Boss, MXR or DOD and you know what you're getting. And can be pretty well assured that it will still be intact and functioning 20 years from now.

The Behringer pedals are good bang for the buck, however. Nowhere near as robust, of course, but they sound really close to the originals and seem to be fairly reliable if you don't beat the snot out of them.

Some of these off brands? Who knows? Its a crapshoot.

As far as the "ethics of NOT BUYING AMERICAN" that is nothing but a smokescreen....
