MF Chorus - or ILFest PGS demo ever

[doommeow]

Mike Hermans might be my least favorite guitar player ever.

This. His demos usually reduce the likelihood that I'll buy the product.

This caught my attention when I began noticing forums gush about the "unique Moog chorus" tone.
I was GASing for some interesting modulation, but ultimately went vintage PolyFlange instead.

If I wanted something to gig/take on the road...the MF Chorus is more of a practical option...but the drive tone is a sticking point.
Guess I truly am that guy who just seems to prefer vintage, big box effects 9/10x

some notes on why:

NSFW: show

The Minifoogers are all SMD. I prefer effects with 1sided PCB in case there's need for minor repairs...so they don't become major productions. I wanted something for home/studio use that can be resurrected 10, 15, 20 years down the line if I still have it...and the company is out of business.

The tone when overdriven. Chorus in particular is super finicky about that, and so am I when it comes to chorus. Flange tends to be considerably more forgiving. Clean the MF is gorgeous...but demoes suggest it wont like being slammed with the full output of a Harmonic Percolator.

The price/depreciation. Scored the PolyFlange for $100 more and can recoup what I paid whenever, if I'm ever done with it.

The Flanger is AMAZING.

I'm excited about this one

Almost didn't buy an Elements because of his demo. Glad I watched the Kayzer video right after. Phew.

Yeah. I can deal as long as the pedals don't come with the backing tracks though.
I find those cheesy demos interesting in a way because once you place the pedals in such a clinical, controlled demo format they all start sounding way more similar than you'd want to believe.
It helps me kill GAS and curb spending

The Gwar demo is pretty cool

Funny how I have the same reaction with Kayzer's videos. He makes everything sound like a metal distortion.
