Good but absolutely not very good
I buy cheap Behringer products because they (often) are a very big bang for the buck.
The enclosure/parts all that physical stuff is cheap but it's working. What do you need more? I don't roll over a pedal with a car so I don't need all metal enclosures. Behringer stated in a forum that the plastic for the pedals is a special mix that they tested extensively. Music is not my job so I don't know how this Behringer pedals look like if you use them every day on the big stages. Regarding the electrical components I have to admit that as long as it sounds good I don't care if there is mojo stuff in it or not.
The pots are ok there is a resistance while turning so they don't get accidentally readjusted. I really like pedals with a lot of knobs to adjust everything so I like fiddling around with this pedal very much.
The one and only real downside of this pedal (why I actually replaced it) is the very nasty sounding noise when the sustain control is turned up to about 3/4.
Compressors are noisy in extreme settings but this noise is just horrible.
I now use a Boss CS-3 which is also noisy but in a good-sounding way. It sounds more "natural". It's hard to describe but it's not as harsh as the CS400.
+cheap
+does it's job
+lot's of knobs

Awesome Value!
The Behringer CS400 Compressor / Sustainer Effect Pedal does an excellent job of emulating the Boss CS-3 pedal. It works and sounds like you'd expect. It's a great value for money product.

Spectacular
Amazing compressor for even more amazing price. I was torn between this and the red one, but you will have no regrets picking either of them - they both sound excellent. I chose this for more controls.
It does precisely what you would expect of a compressor to do.
Many people tend to bash the plastic enclosure, however I have never had any of them brake yet (i have 2 that are about 15 yrs old).

Behringer CS400
I already own a Behringer DC9, but after a ferw years service the LED seems to be giving up- so, after reading a few online reviews I opted for the Behringer CS 400 - which does look a little like a certain other pedal!.
The CS 400 has a plastic body- but I bought this for home/recording use- so no worries about amage- but, I think even for gigging this would be tough enough. We all know what compressors do, but what they do is very subtle, the DC9 gave my signal a huge boost- the CS400 doesnt do that but it does clean up the signal, and somehow "sweetens" the sound.
The level knob does give a boost, without any gain, which is useful, the tone dial is very subtle but I use it to dial back the bite from my tele.
The attack/sustain don't seem to adjust anything- perhaps they will work more on my Les Paul- time will tell
All in all, a sturdy, well made bit of kit, that does whatever it is that compressors do!
subtle, but its there

Everything you would expect for this price
A bit disappointed with a plastic body, it is very cheap compared even to boss pedals. Not robust at all.
Sound-wise pretty good, does the job. Very predictable compression, evens out lot's of garbage

behringer pedals are always good for the price
it has reversed the negative in the power supply which is kinda bad i couldnt use my old adapters, but the pedal's features were good enough
