Re: TC Corona Chorus
A shameless bump for people to see... Because I am loving this pedal... Very quite. I had a rehearsal yesterday, and it sorta adds body and air to the lead work...
For clean stuff, I am using it together with my Xotic SP. Good match!

Edit: I did not end up selling the Micro Chorus. It sound really good in the parallel loop of my 1987-RRPA clone...

Re: TC Corona Chorus
Thanks gents.
I agree... that's quite a nice pedal!
It's good to know!
How do you use yours? Like a regular chorus, after the dirt pedals and all? The thing is I am using it before my dirt pedals, and it is very silent...

You can now get a Tri Chorus toneprint for the Flashback or Flashback X4. Pretty cool.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
I was gonna ask the "how do you use" question also.
unless you have a one trick Speed/depth pedal, there is a lot of subtle shading and coloring you can do with a Chorus. The TC is flexible like that.
- adding roundness/fat to solos: Depth, low speed, moderate level
- Making distortion smoooooth. High level mod depth/speed
- subtle acoustic shimmer: low level low rate/depth
- Just sweet cleans! Depp/moderate speed
- Add shimmer or space with pedals that can manipulate delay (longer delays = shimmer-space)
- Subtle flange ; MAx Depth/Level
- faux vibrato - high rate/depth
I actually use mine to stand apart from a second acoustic guitar often. That, and to play anything from Def Lep Hysteria or Twisted Sister Stay Hungry and most any 80's metal clean arpeggio.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
The way I am loving mine is with a very low speed (even zero) but sorta high depth. With serious gain! Both from the amp (mine is a metal panel 1987 clone that is switchable into a 2204 #36 mode) and from the pedal. This sorta changes the tone, adds some hollowness you know, makes it a bit hifi. Essentially, that is why I think my main use is a bit different. Yet, when I am using it as a regular chorus, in the clean setting. To make sure that the tone stays non-saturated, I hit my comp and use the chorus with sorta medium speed and depth; and at times a tubescreamer (zero gain, with full vol boost) becomes also usable.
But I, for sure, am no chorus expert. That is why I dunno much about this list Aceman. So am gonna be checking them out; because when going over your list, I felt like I may be missing one or two tricks.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
Your 41 dude - didn't you play in the 80's? Nary a tune metal, country or pop without way too much chorus!
A real key to superior chorus, IMO is being able to manipulate the delay time to get the perfect amount of thickness-space-hollowness in the tone.
Speed and depth a critical, but level and delay really make the sound. Sometimes you find the tone you love in a One or Two known, then great. Roll with that. I really like my Washburn Accelerator speed/depth only. But to really get the Van Halen 5150 you need a subtle chorus with wide delay, for example.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
Using mine before my delay, as a regular chorus indeed. I just love a subtle chorus on clean tones (also on acoustic guitar BTW), and as far as distorted tones go I like to mix it up a bit, like the Aceman suggested. Never use it for flange/vibrato though. I never cared much for the sound of vibrato and for flange I really like to have a separate pedal for that.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
I was one of them retro dudes, playing Zeppelin stuff, Allman, basic stuck in the 70's classic rock. Seriously, I wasn't at all into this whole "in the tank" ambient stuff (that's how I used to tease my friends you know)... No hair stuff for me as well. So mine were almost completely guitar and amp setups. Some dirt pedals, fuzz, but that's it.
This whole "ambient" **** is new for me... Maybe it's this middle life crisis, going back twenty years and all.
:banghead:
Here is an ambient stuff that I have tried recently, again trying pedals and all...

Re: TC Corona Chorus
Once you use a comp, you don't have to choose you know... You could have both.
I put the comp in front of the chorus, and them dirt pedals after the chorus, and delay in the last spot... And if I want this flanger/vibrato thing out of it with some dirt, I hit the dirt pedals and the chorus, while the comp is off. And if I go with the "regular" chorus thing, I use the comp and no dirt pedals.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
I also did not use chorus in the '80s and '90s. Dirt, reverb and delay for me. I don't recall having a true chorus pedal until maybe 10 years ago.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
dr. b I love my corona chorus pedal, have you tried any of the tone print options? pretty freaking cool I use my guitar with my smart phone pick the tone print I want, select my bridge pickup, click the corona pedal to toneprint, send the tone print through my guitar pickup to the pedal, so far I like Guthrie Govan's toneprint called colin.

Re: TC Corona Chorus
No chorus in the 80's? I guess you guys thought playing was more important than getting laid.....
Doc - a good chorus with a lot of range can do subtle flange or vibrato at the extremes. Same with a good Flanger - it can do Chorus. They are all more or less the same effect at one end of the range or the other.
Lately I've been using a Flange for chorus. Great for Poison songs! :lmao:

Re: TC Corona Chorus
I haven't started doing this toneprint thing yet. But I will, very soon. The standard/stock stuff was sorta doing it for me till now.
Nevertheless, I don't wanna miss anything so I will be checking those, also associating with Ace's suggestions about different uses for chorus and flange.
