Best chorus, ?Have clips?

[derek_32999]

What is your favorite chorus pedal. i use a dls chours-vib. the things i heard about it were true but is there any slushier or more shimmery chorus out there? what are you faves? and a special request post some CLIPS of your FAVORITE chorus settings!!!! lets see who can get teh coolest/lushest/thickest chorus sound. i gotta get a new mike!!!!

 

[guitarplayaman]

try the Visual sound H20....get alot of compliments in stereo mode and it has a pretty cool delay...

 

[derek_32999]

yeah i have heard great things about this chorus, but was hesitant since i already have a memory lane delay. thanks i will have to look into that one deeper, any others? any sound clips?

Vintage Boss CE-1 is hard to beat. Fulltone Choralflange is cool too!

Had the DLS chorus/vibe and it was cool, but (to my ears) seemed to have a little digital sheen or "tween" on the high end that I couldn't get past. I love the CE-1, though, and the Retrosonic Chorus is almost as nice.

However, what's amazed me is that my FoxRox Through-Zero Flanger can actually cop the CE-1 sound almost to a T, and is better IMHO, than the Retrsonic. It's also super flexible and can conjur up all kinds of modulation mayhem in the chorus and vibe veins -- not to mention flange of course. Dave Fox has a few chorus-like clips on his site (although more in vibe territory) at http://www.foxroxelectronics.com.

Cheers!

Just got the DLS last night. IMO it's simply amazing. Best, most versatile chorus I've owned.

I love to use chorus. I have tried the following:

Analogman Clone Chorus
DLS Chorus-Vib
Maxon CS-505 Chorus
Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble

My favorite without a doubt is the Boss CE-5. I just think is sounds the best.

If your looking for a chorus pedal to cop fast leslie sounds, go with the Analogman Clone Chorus.

The RetroSonic beat the Analogman Clone Clone off my board last year to stay...

I like the sound of the Visual Sound H2O, but the packaging is very inconvenient for a pedal board.

>>>Mid-Fi Electronics Pitch Pirate<<<

... and I am also fond of the chorus-type modulations possible with the Yamaha Magicstomp ... but I don't have any clips recorded.

I have no clips, but when I was searching for a chorus (it was b4 I started on this board, so I didnt know about a lot of the boutique makers out there) I did a lot of searching, tried Boss, Dano, mxr, Digitech, and a few others. Without a doubt my favorite surprised me in that it was The Marshall (supervibe I think it's called) chorus. Does a great Leslie and puts a beautiful sheen on things. Very underrated pedal. And cheaper than the Boss which is cool for a mild chorus, but I wanted something stronger.

 

[derek_32999]

wow this is a lot more varied than i expected THANKS GUYS for chiming in on this one. honestly i expected to see dls and tc electronics over and over which isnt what i wanted. i really apprectiate the answers it helps tremendously!!!!!!!!

 

[AbstractLunatic]

I love my Analogman Bi-Chorus.

My BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus sounds pretty good also.

 

[derek_32999]

Any of the pedals that I previously recommended can easily provide these types of sounds. Also, the Ibanez DCL 10 series digital chorus pedal is a bit more zany than the average mass-produced chorus stompbox. If you run the invereted out in mono and crank the rate, you get a weird square wave vib-chorus timbre. Also, the Electro-Harmonix stereo Polychorus reissue may be worth trying. According to the original designer of the Clone Theory, it has similar circuitry, but is supposed to operate more quietly.
