Are Donner effects pedals any good?

Fairly easy to use and sounds good. I would like to see another option of this pedal with tap tempo delay and a tuner built in. I’d like for more of a Tube Screamer tone and a phaser instead of chorus but that’s just because of the stuff I play. Overall it’s a great pedal for less than $70.
