A TRUE Stereo Chorus....?

Greetings ~ Much as most of you, I've owned many a chorus pedal over the decades,, most good & some very good,,, But now as I'm going stereo into 2 small combos slightly angled away,,, I want 'that' spatial & most noticeable Stereo effect.
I won't be setting it to any crazy sweeps, but just on it's MINIMAL settings, & just maybe 1 or 2 on the 'Delay', just to add some very slight movement to the signal.... I own a DOD Super Chorus, & a H20 Delay Chorus combo,, & they sound like they do it, & I could live & play with them, but as True Stereo & not some mathematical phase difference or whatever,, 100 buck range give or take.... How about the Boss DC2 Waza pedal, though it does have that annoying preset warbling effect.... cool pedal...

Thanks all & happy holidays
 
DC-2w is phenomenal in stereo. I don't know what you mean about a preset warbling effect though, it was designed to be a chorus that doesn't warble, and the very highest setting is at most subtle.
 
MXR M134 is my favorite. Lots of control over the tone, can even split the signal so the bass bypasses the chorus effect.
 
I use an Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus, I absolutely love it. It has a very lush, wooshy tone and lots of sparkle without being harsh. I am using it on my board mono at the moment but have used it in the past to split to two amps with great results.

 
This is my favorite by far...MXR M234 (99.00) . and yes it is stereo -MXR just doesnt put it in the name

The low and high independent Chorus effect control is amazing.

I love the Neunaber Inspire in stereo, but it's outside your price range. Worth every penny though, IMO.
So is Neunaber's Immerse reverb pedal - stellar in stereo ( and pretty darn awesome even in mono).

I had no idea that the Waza pedals had come down into the $100 price range!

I was going to recommend the MXR Zakk Wylde chorus, but it's pretty much the same thing as that.

Ya know,, I have a Neunaber Stereo Shimmer, which might very well give me that 'space' I'm looking for.....!!
 
Neunaber makes quality stuff. My personal favorite and IMO the best Chorus pedal made is the Free The Tone Tri- Avatar. Pricey but worth every penny.
 
I’m going to throw in another vote for the MXR. I’ve had a Boss CE-5, a Boss CE-2, and a TrueTone H2O (Visual Sound at the time), and I like it much better than all of them.
 
One of my favorites is the old inexpensive Rocktron deep Blue Chorus. These are really rich and warm sounding Chorus pedals. I own 2 that I have had for a t least 15 years.
One of the absolute best sounding current production Chorus units is the Neunaber Tri Chorus Plus. I have become a HUGE fan of Neunaber time based effects pedals over the last few years and this tri Chorus is fantastic. Here is a pretty good demo of this pedal.
 
Here is the inexpensive Rocktron Deep Blue. one of my all time favorite Chorus pedals. Have owned about any of the classic Chorus pedals you can name including a couple of the Boss Dimension C's and liked these better.
 
what a wonderful piece, that Neunaber!!

Need to hear and play one in person its amazing. Have become a big fan of some of the Neunaber time based effects over the last few years. Own both a V5 Wet and Seraphim Verb at this time. In some ways like them better than my Strymon Blue Sky and both together cost about he same as the Blue Sky alone. That Chorus has some truly amazing sounds and may grab one in the future.

That's my favorite as well. CS-505, if you can find them, are them crem de la crem (IMHO).
