Boss CH-1 Chorus vs. RV-5 Digital Reverb

[Budweiser]

I'm thinking of replacing my Boss chorus pedal with the reverb on my pedal board.

Good move? Bad move?

I can't have both.

Unless you're in a U2 tribute band, I'd keep the chorus.

but if you decide to get rid of the chorus, send it to me.

if your amp has reverb then its an easy decision.

I'd say reverb. But thats 'cuz I personly don't like modulation effects. Reverb is more usable to me in most situations than a chorus. But thats just my opinion.

My amp doesn't have reverb so I think I'm going for it. Chorus is cool but in it's place. Reverb works all the time.

I think this question is retarded and so are you. I mean, seriously, man. Chorus vs reverb? If you can't decide which you need at the global level, you need to quit playing.

Do you need help deciding whether or not to play an open G or G bar chord too?

This is like asking someone "Which do I need more - something to drink or something to eat?" If you don't know - no one does.

Haha, I was going to say something similar--just not as abrasive.

But yes, apples and oranges.

In a lite Aceman fashion, that's personal choice no?

It depends on what are you seeking. Give us some clues at least! If you expect us to answer a question like that.

Hey - I'm just keeping it real. Apologies if keeping it real means I have to question the location of ones head relative to their buttox.

But yes - I could rephrase to say: Well, do YOU like chorus better than reverb, or reverb better than chorus. But I feel really dumb asking asking that....

for the record I'm a "must always have at least a splash" of verb dude.

I'd feel dumb asking that too, since it doesn't have a question mark.

Reverb all the time. Chorus just for clean.
Why you cannot have both?

Re: Boss CH-1 Chorus vs. RV-5 Digital Reverb

I personally don't like the RV-5 (its barely better then the RV-3 if not worse) so I'd say the CH-1 as reverb to me isn't as neccesry live unless u need spring.

Re: Boss CH-1 Chorus vs. RV-5 Digital Reverb

Like Ace, I like a splash of reverb all the time ......... but if I had to choose between that reverb and that chorus I'd keep the chorus.
