Polytope, Polytope,Polytope! The best sounding spooky chorus I ever played. I'm also in love with my Sea Machine, I hope some day I'll buy the chosmichorus :!!!: Yes, I'm a chorus addict :)*

I have a CCv3 and I love it...but all this talk of sea machines is making me gas for one again. I've had (and sold) a sea machine twice now but it still haunts me :mad:

Digital (and absolute best, IMO, but I am a cold digital person seeking cold and digital armies of guitars) :: Z.Cat Chorus/Hold ! I originally just bought it for the hold function, but the chorus is INCREDIBLE - none of that warble, none of the cheesy vibrato sound, just orchestral expanse.

Analog :: EHX Polychorus (mostly because it does perverted chorusish toens that arent typical chorusing)

The Polytope has always intrigued me. I don't listen much to the vintage choruses that people fawn over. I bet some of them are nice too and worth the tag, but lots are vanilla and overpriced.

Honestly, the chorus on the JC 120 is absolutely perfect for me.

Yeah. I'm not a chorus fan but playing through my bandmate's JC 120 tonight was a pleasant surprise.

I haven't tried the Sea Machine, but all the demos i've heard remind me of the sound of my pitch pirate. It's a cool sound but it's not really what i'm going for. I would say it wasn't deep and lush and magical enough for me.
I really wanna try a Cosmi though, and I like how the polytope sounds.
I'm digging my insta lofi junky a LOT but I'd like something more straight up chorus

if you want a more deep and magical sound from a sea machine, i recommend buying a chorus-y flange to put after it. swirly goodness for days

Agree with this. The Sea Machine is mega tweakable, but I like my Mind Bender way better for straight up, lush chorus.
