what's the best chorus pedal you've ever heard?

Post by nightterrors »

I have an 80's DOD FX65 Stereo Chorus (that I received for free) and it isn't intense enough I feel.. and it is just generally annoying to turn on/off.
I was checking out the Red Witch Empress Chorus and the EQD Sea Machine... any thoughts on those? or have any others in mind?

I'm a chorus virgin myself but am eagerly awaiting the new and improved Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus. But from what I've heard the old Cosmichorus kicks a lot of ass. Others that come to mind are the EHX Small Clone, Polychorus, etc..

familiar with both EHX pedals, haven't checked out the Cosmichorus actually. Thanks!

This demo shows the sonic character of the Sea Machine extremely well. It doesn't cover every aspect of functionality, it's the best demo I've heard for any pedal in that it sounded exactly like this when I plugged one in. A cool pedal for sure.

Also, yes. I had an old Arion flanger at one point and it made one of the best standard chorus sounds I've ever heard.

Ive really enjoyed the sound of the Sea Machine. I need to get more patch cables so I can use it more. You can get some really weird sounds out of it.

Cosmichorus is awesome. The analogman one I head this dude playing live was great. Very lush sounding.

Only chorus sound I really really like was Kurt Cobain's. Yeah.
