modulation: your thoughts on a few pedals

Post by dorfmeister »

I am intersted in procuring a pedal that can go from chorus to more extreme seasick waver and as many points in between as possible.

Pedals I am pondering:

Eqd sea machine
Dr scientist cosmichorus
Snazzy wow and flutter
Midfi pitch pirate
Seppukku mindwarp

Anything else I should consider?

EHX Stereo Electric Mistress or just buy alot of inexpensive chorus pedals and turn them all on at once!

Multiple chorus rocks esp. if you do a series/parallel set up.

Also phase/rotovibe in parallel sent to two amps.

The pitchpirate just goes off the deep end with the pitch bent vibrato thing. Awesome.
The seamachine gets crazy (perhaps not as much so), but has a unique slapback/reverb quality with the dimension knob and the animate/wave knobs are also pretty novel. Jamie has a real ear for adding features/knobs that aren't traditionally found on certain effects.

...but if you want a do-all chorus that also does some flanging/vibrato/seasick the cosmichorus is your pedal.
It doesn't get as crazy as the others, but it's just so lush/warm/thick/madeupadjective.
As far as straight up chorus goes, it is unmatched.

I've been playing around with my Polychorus and it can get extremely wobbly really fast. It is more of a flanger overall, but there are some sweet chorus tones in there.

If you have a JC 120 you could run a stereo chorus pedal into it's stereo inputs and then another chorus into the front of the amp.

Sea Machine is digital. I've already got a first generation Disaster Transport and it will do some interesting modulation sounds and I am guessing I would like it with the other features it would have that the DT wouldn't.

Cosmichorus is analog. I was reading in the D. Scientist forum that a strong signal will clip the cosmichorus....figuring on putting it after dirt I am wondering if people have noticed this and found it to be a problem at all.
