Who's using what?

I've sold my Boss CE-5 as I never really got on with it and am looking for something else.

So suggestions pls
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

Voodoo Lab analog chorus. Most other choruses I've tried tend to get a little too detuned and/or cold sounding, the VL just adds a nice shimmer, and is very warm.

I've got an old DOD Stereo Chorus 565 that I like as well...and of course the Boss Dimension C. I own a Keeley-modded CE-2 and a CE-2 clone that I built myself...and in all honesty I'm not really sure why these are such "classic" chorus pedals. They really don't do a whole lot for me.

The small clone is an interesting pedal as well, I've got a clone that I built from a BYOC board. Turn up the depth knob and it can get a little sickening though.

I drove people in GC nuts, screwing around with small clone ..... I dont know whats the big deal ..... Now, Ibanez stereo CS9 re-issue - I doubt I will look for another chorus for the next few years if not ever.
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

I have used a Visual Sound H2O for about 5 years.I don't use chorus often, but this one is really nice and watery, nicely warm too, it doesn't get clinical.
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

I have a Boss CH-1 that I did a mod to. It's a sweet chorus and does what I need when I use it. I haven't used it in about a year. Not selling it though. I also like the old Dimension C and D. Those are just awesome.
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

I picked up an old MXR analog chorus a year or so ago, the big yellow one. Not the reissue, but the original. Sweet, warm and I can use it to either thicken up or chorus among other things. Best chorus I've ever had. The Danelectro Cool Cat (18v) was pretty close to the MXR as well. The MXR IMO was better though. Loved running it to two amps and setting it to just thicken up the sound without really chorusing. SOOOOOOO full. Great for old school metal imo.
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

Ihave the Small Clone, it does what I need it to, warm up clean passages one in a while. It also does the Cobain thing. I very rarely use chorus, mostly phaser and flanger. (which is pretty close to a chorus, electronically ;))
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

I'm just strange enough that I don't care for the Boss Chorus.

I have a DOD FX 65 Stereo Chorus that I'm rather fond of using, but mostly just for acoustic.

Re: Chorus Pedal

I've got an original CE-1, but I only use it occasionally for recordings. For pedal board friendliness and something a little different to a standard chorus, I'm a big fan of the Boss DC-2, the Dimension C. The truly beautiful thing about it is that it doesn't seem to take over the entire signal like many choruses (chori???) do, even at their lower depth settings. The DC-2 just has the four presets (5 if you include the "all buttons out" setting) in keeping with the 80's studio rack unit it was designed to emulate, the Roland Dimension D.


Cheers.........................wahwah
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

I'm using a Boss CH-1 but it's up for sale. Really adds a new dimension to my heavier stuff. Lately I'm leaning more towards classic rock and blues so I'm looking into the voodoo labs and the small clone.
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

Haven't felt the need for a pedal other than my - brace yourself - Washburn Accelerator Series SC-7?. Other than than that whatever is on/in my amp/multifx works for me....

However - lately I'm thinking about the Digitech Chorus Factory...lot's of swirly goodness.

Know exactly what you mean I've already got a DC-2, very different from normal chorus' But I've got PAS for a chorus I can tinker with:eyecrazy:
 
Re: Chorus Pedal

i have a few Boss CE5's, an old Demension C, and an Ibanez Tone Lock Flanger/Chorus unit... as well as a 90's DOD

I've never tried a Super Chorus... at least since 1989... i used to own one back then but i have no idea if they are better then the CE5's i picked up used for cheap!
