My friend's Nimbus sounded absolutely amazing with guitar, never heard more lush reverb toans.

It has a tone knob.
The cosmichorus is the least chorus-y chorus I've ever heard. None of the cheese, only 80's if you want it to be at normal chorus settings, airy light flanger tones, extreme vibrato, ring mod tones. Don't disregard it. Also as Syl said, the tone knob.

Edit: Just looked, the sliders are to shape the waveform. Nifty.

Edit2: List price: $640 (Sale price from Sweetwater: $499.99) :lol:

Edit3: :snax:
I know…to much $$$ for sure.
I was gonna suggest a vibe.
That Korg looks pretty sweet, but fuck that price.
I'm usually like, "digital, meh" when it comes to effects as well, but sometimes it smokes the arse off analogue.
The ability to control the waveform is for sure the most impressive thing about that.

The most fattening chorus I know of is the old Boss DC-2. They usually go for around 2 bills. If you want cheapz, the Behringer CC-300 sounds exactly the same, I've A/B'd them directly.

For flanger, the DOD flangers are the fattest ones I've heard. FX-75B for guitar, FX-72 for bass. IMO/IME, they put the Boss BF-2 to shame.

For phaser, the fattest one I've ever played is the old Morley deluxe, but they don't come up for sale often. After that, I'd go for the Whetstone.

Fattest trem I've played is the EHX wiggler.
I have a DC-3, it is also pretty nasty. Not fattening though.
Just Satan, in a pink box.
My mate had a DOD flanger, I can attest to that.
Was that Morley like a wah box, green?

Arion Stereo Chorus. I know you said you don't dig chorus, but this one is more rotary than shimmery, and the tone knob on mine gets CRAZY bassy.
I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

I think the DC-3 is very different from the DC-2, honestly, but I've never played the 3 so I have no direct experience. The 2 is analog and fat, and is actually pretty subtle with very little movement to the chorus. It's more of a doubler effect honestly.

No, the Morley was in a huge black box that weighs a ton. I had one for a couple years and sold mine to jrmy. I think he still has it.

I do indeed still have the Morley. It's awesome, especially when paired with fuzz.

Interestingly enough, I don't think the Whetstone is very fat sounding. It seems to cut bass with my set up.

You guys are putting forth some great recommendations. Thank you.

:snax:

I've got a lot of demo listening to do.

The Whetstone has a lowpass mode, did you try that? I can't imagine that would cut any bass.

Yeah, I've tried the lowpass mode. It sounds too muffled that way... and it still kinda cuts bass.

Interesting, I never noticed any bass loss. But I EQ my bass pretty mid-heavy anyway.

I'll have to test it out again. See if I can add some more mids and/or low mids to my signal.

Yes, jrmy, I do like the Arion.

Is it possible that I'm actually starting to like chorus?

That sounds so thick! And lush!
Yeah, DC-3 is a different beast. Yet I would describe it as a doubler more than a chorus as well....interesting.
To me it actually sounds like two guitars, not just an emulation of that. It sounds super spooky on real fast settings.
