Chorus Pedal Suggestion - Shimmery and Lush

Re: Chorus Pedal Suggestion - Shimmery and Lush

I have the original of that pedal. I love the sound, but hate the lack of headroom. Hopefully, I will be able to test it against this little thing some time during the second half of this year:

That seems to be the running theme with vintage analog choruses, lack of headroom. I don't use high gain pickups but it's when using boosts and wahs that it is an issue.

There are 2 Chorus Pedals I used over the decades that I really feel you can get basically anything you want.
1) Boss CE-20. It's a double pedal and crazy lush and rich. You can program some things into it and recall those settings at will. This is a crazy amazing pedal.
2) Boss Wazacraft CE-2W Analog Chorus. This might be the best overall sounding chorus I have ever heard anywhere. This thing is what chorus is all about. Play one and realize what you just stepped on. WOW what a pedal. It's on my board right now and forever more man.

Honorable mention is the tc electronics Tri Chorus. It's a Toneprint pedal, it's black and fully programmable. This is one of those pedals for people who love to tinker around for hours and may never play anything but have a good time tinkering instead of playing. I owned this pedal when it came out, I pre ordered it as it is a special edition and man I had to get rid of it because I tinkered more then play. But you will find what your looking for here. Worth picking up and digging in.

Chorus is my thing man.

It is even worse when trying to run them in the loop, where choruses generally sound the best. I love the sound of the Dimension C, but I can't make it work properly in my rig without degrading the sound too much.
