Your Favorite Chorus Pedal

I am building a smaller pedalboard. My large board is a Pedaltrain Terra 42. It's large and I love it, but for smaller stages and areas, I'm going to use my older board and put only what I really use (Route 66 [comp/OD], SD-1, Donner Yellow Fall [slap-back], Polytune3, Ernie Ball VPJR). I do need a second delay for longer echoes. I also want a chorus. I currently have an Ibanez CS-9. It's my favorite chorus. Used it since 1982.

I'm thinking of going with another chorus. I love my EH Small Stone phaser, so I've been thing of an EH Neo Clone. I have no experience with this pedal, but I'm open to others as well. There are some really good chorus pedals out there. Another favorite of mine is the Boss CS-2. Back in the day (early 80s), it was the main competitor to the CS-9. Appreciate whatever feedback and advice you all can give.
 
I like the electric mistress . . . it's a flanger, but all the chorusy sounds I could want are in there too. Mooer makes a surprisingly decent sounding mini pedal copy called the eleclady that I'd recommend.
 
I see you're already on the Visual Sound/TrueTone bandwagon, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their Liquid Chorus. At least my experience with the H2O was a very good one. It ended up being a little too large for my pedalboard, so I moved on, but the sounds were second to none. I've bought, sold, and built more chorus pedals than I care to admit, and I've finally found that the blue MXR Analog Chorus does everything I could want.

Yes, I love my Visual Sound Route 66. I will investigate the chorus offerings from TrueTone.
 
Well, you already ordered, but my favorite chorus pedal is either the DOD Dual Stereo Chorus, or a Dimension pedal.
 
There's nothing a chorus can do for me that something else can't do better, but the Dimension C can do some pretty neat things
 
Dimension C/D: rack original if you can pay for it, pedal original if you can live with the headroom problems, reissue otherwise.

What are the advantages of the rack mount and original pedal issue over the reissue?

They both sound a little fuller and richer to my ears than the next version. The rack version also allows for more combinations. I have heard but never owned the rack version; I sold the original pedal, as the limited headroom was too obvious on cleans.

Correct. And given my statement above, I unsurprisingly tend to prefer that setting.
