Cosmichorus vs Ola

Post by crayola64 »

I'm looking to get a new chorus pedal and have narrowed it down to these two and would like to get some opinions. Which one do you guys prefer and why?

Whats an Ola?

No matter what I still vote Cosmichorus because... cosmichorus. Probably looks way more rad too.

This might be the wrong forum if you're looking for a lot of strymon love. I have a CCv3 and I love it. Why buy a simulation of bbd choruses when you can have the real thing?!?

I worded that weirdly...I meant that he's going to be getting a lot more recommendations for the cc than the ola because we all love Ryan :thumb:

It's not just love for Ryan, CC is genuinely a fantastic chorus, easily one of the best in the world, I wouldn't say 'the' best cause taste and preference and all, but I'd find it hard to argue against it in any given category on even ground

Cosmichorus, because it's the only chorus I like.

I've actually owned both of these so maybe I can help.

Get the Cosmichorus.

The Cosmichorus is more versatile and has some quirks because it's analog that make it sound more interesting. The quirks are mainly that the waveform is slightly irregular in a very nice sounding way and the full wet signal has this great sortof dark compression going on.

The ONLY thing that I think is better on the Ola is that it has higher headroom. The Cosmichorus 3 may have increased headroom from the v2 that I had though

That's part of why I'm asking here. I'm leaning toward cc but people who prefer the Ola here would probably have more compelling reasons why
