Ibanez CS-9 and the RC-99 are pretty good chorus units.

Re: Chorus pedals

For stereo, I second the Dano Cool Cat. For mono, I second the Boss CE-2...good enough for David Gilmore, that's what he uses. Lew

Yes. If you want to hear it in action listen to Nirvana - Come as You Are. That song alone convinced me to buy it.

Back to the original question, the output on both is diect on one side and modulated delay (effect) on the other, this is a very natural sounding chorus effect when run with two amps, and it mixes back to mono well. (If running mono, just use the mono output. The difference the super chorus had a slightly different LFO waveform when it first came out, I believe the two are identical now though, The biggest difference is that the super chorus has an active tone control that either cuts the highs or boosts them on the effect part of the sound (not the direct itself) this allows the chorus to be very sharp, or very mild. The chorus ensemble has a high and low filter, when allows you the cut the highs or lows or both (individually) of the effect signal, in essense in allows you to control where the chorus is taking place (more on the funadamentals or only on the upper harmonics for example), it harkens to be much more CE-2 like (read analogue sounding), it is the more flexible of the two, especially in regard to being used after distortion. The CE-5 allows allows greater flexiblity on bass or keyboards as well because to the twin filters. The only advantage that the CH-1 has is if you want that bright crystalline digital type chorus sound. true be told to this day I don't know why Roland jsu didn't make the CE-5 with filters that could boost or cut, and then you'd have the CH-1 along with everything the CE-5 could do. The CE-5 cab generally sound like the CE-2 with tweaking. The sweep range appears to be the same, and well as well. So that's the difference, not sure if one is analogue and the other digital or both.
