The best chorus and delay tone I've ever had!

[Gypsyblue]

Just bought a TC Chorus used and I'm loving it. I have an old Boss Chorus pedal I like but the TC makes me sound like a bluesy Pat Metheny. Just great tone and I can make it as subtle or as dramatic as I like.

I've been using it in stereo through two little tweed Fender amps spread out about 3 feet from each other. Been enjoying the Sacred Steel of the Campbell Brothers lately, and I'm working up a slide version of Amazing Grace to play at church the Sunday after next. I'm going to bring both amps, the EHMM and the TC chorus.

Been plugging my Strat into my EH Memory Man, and then the output of the Memory Man into the TC and using the stereo outputs of the TC to drive both amps.

Love the way I can use the level control on my Memory Man to boost the signal and get a little fuller, slightly overdriven but still clear tone. I set the amps up for equal volume and then from there just use the level control on the EHMM to set the overall volume level.

They'll record the service so I may be able to post some clips after next week's service.

Which TC chorus? The expensive one? Or the super-expensive one?

I don't doubt it. Those are the two industry standard pedals for chorus and delay.

I'm sure it sounds huge through two tweed amps a few feet apart from each other.

Those TC chorus pedals have such a signature sound.

It's not my ideal chorus sound by a long shot but it can be a cool sound!

I thought he was talking about the Corona Chorus. I guess it could be one of the bigger units, but I could definitely be wrong. Of course, I haven't tried either one, so I don't have a dog in the hunt.

This one:

Got it for $139 and it's like brand new.

That setup is practically the core of Eric Johnson's sound.

Really? Didn't know that. Well, Eric has good taste in pedals!

How's the flanger mode?

Haven't done much with it yet. Just getting to know this device.

I can't believe you got that pedal for $139. That thing seriously goes new for 2.5 times that much. You lucky friggin' bastard. Enjoy!

$139 is a great price for that. That one has been a classic since the 80's.
It's the only pedal from their original pedal line that they still make (I think it's still in production, right?). Some of the others were reissued but the box (and perhaps the innards as well) were not the same as the original.

The new ones are digital, or did they change them back to analouge again?
Had one in the 80's for one day......not my taste really......

Re: The best chorus and delay tone I've ever had!

What I find amusing, is the "analog" police...

I have heard and played THE TC chorus back in the day. It is a hi-fi Mother f*&^&^!!!!! Yet suggest a digital box (30 years later...) and dudes will wig out.

But - I maintain - that TC is a Mother F8(^&&*&^&!!!!! Just a perfect chorus sound IMO. Whatever sound floats your boat - enjoy!

I have a Boss CE-2 that I like a lot and have owned forever - longer than some of you guys have been on the planet. But it's mono. I can't use it to drive two amps in stereo and the chorus effect, even though it's excellent, sounds pretty stock - kind of takes me and guitar where it, the pedal, wants to go. The TC is infinity more flexible and the sound is more elegant. This is the chorus effect I've been wanting for years.
