Haven't played the reflector but the sea machine is super rad, and I typically dont like chorus.

My favorite part is the wave shaping knob that lets you get a pulsey waveshape that isnt as hard as a square wave, but you can get that too to sweet effects. And if you crank the regen control you can get some awesome verby sounds.

Having played both, they're very different beasts. The Sea Machine gets way more weird / pitchy / wobbly on it's own, whereas the Reflector gets its funk from adding octave or flange. The "core" chorus of the Reflector is much more of a "static" or "cold" chorus, whereas the Sea Machine excels at wobbly chorus.

I liked them both, but I sold the Reflector, kept the Sea Machine.

Had a Sea Machine for a while, don't really know why I sold it but it was a solid chorus, great ambience to it. I've got a Reflector coming in this week that I think I'll like more but we will see. Finding some really cool sounds with the Warped Vinyl currently, really fun pedal.

I had the warped vinyl for awhile and did like it. It took fuzz really well and while I liked it dark I wanted brighter times sometimes. I guess version two has a tone knob so maybe I'll give that a go at some point.
