Favourite Chorus?

[hbombgraphics]

Right now I am using a TC Electronics Chorus Flange on my main Board.
I Have owned about 10 chorus pedals and they all have some good and bad points
My favorites besides the TC
Old DOD Chorus Pedals sound awesome
Analog boss CE pedals: Particularly the Rythm and Detonation CE Clone (It is very very good)

Had a small clone but it didn't interact well with my other pedals
Had a boss CE-5 but the RandD clone did the same sounds plus vibrato
80's Ibanez Digital: now with culture jam sounded awesome but didn't get as extreme as I liked
I also have a Digitech Chorus factory(for sale on BST Shameless plug) it does very good versions of a ton of chorus pedals but I get frustrated with it because without the manual you have no real concept of what any of the knobs are doing.

Cosmichorus.
If I had to grab 1 modulation pedal for a desert island board it would be the cosmichorus.
You don't have to compromise between lush and a more "transparent" sound with that one.

The chorus on my DMM.

I'm finding that I lean more towards the wacky crazy choruses, like the Earthquaker Sea Machine and the Arion Stereo Chorus.

That said, if you're looking for the perfect combo of lush & transparent, the Boss DC-2 would be my pick. Of course, it's out of production and hard to get. Apparently the Fromel Seraph is either a clone or based on the circuit, though, and I've heard really good things about that.

And I can't see how anyone could go wrong with a Cosmichorus.

Off topic but dude i dig your site, lot of great music that I probably wouldn't have heard about. Thanks

No worries. New shit within the week.

i have the TC SCF chorus/flanger, and love it. it has its drawbacks--it's insanely expensive when bought new, some folks dislike its extremely clean sound calling it "too 80s/too studio," and it can give you nasty distortion if you feed it a signal that's been heavily gain-boosted by modern Devi Ever-style fuzz where unity gain is about 2--but if you treat it like a piece of studio equipment, which it is by specs, rather than a tramp it'll ruv you rong time. i want to get something else that does nothing other than weird, muddy, and fucked-up, but i can't afford it right now. i'll probably get a Seppuku Mind Warp.

I have an old Peavey Mark IV (or VI) with a chorus circuit that was pretty nuts. It had an adjustable frequency in addition to the Depth and Rate knobs. Would love to get that in a standalone box for noisy shit.

Totally agree. The Mark series has great chorus.

The one that died somewhere toward the end of the eighties and never returned.

I'm no chorus expert, but I have a Small Clone with the depth pot mod, and I dig that. Come As You Are and whatnot. And you know that new Moog jam is gonna get got when it comes out. Stoked like crazy for that thing...

My faves(that I've tried):
1. EHX Polychorus-Lush,chill,shimmery,insane-it's all there.
2. BBE Mind bender-Blue Hippo/Boss VB2 clone
3. DOD FX67-2 blended chorus circuits. Neat!
4. EHX Small clone
5. Boss CE2-There's yr subtle transparent chorus

In a strange-ass twist of fate, my favorite analog chorus i ever bought was cheap as hell and can be bought at target.

The Fender "Starcaster" chorus is fucking cheap, but i think it sounds great, and i opened it up to repaint it from the (frankly horrendous) chartreause it was to a nice (and equally horrendous) day-glo orange, it turns out it's actually analog. Who knew?

I got it from my friend (who doesn't post on here much) mhn433 (who is an awesome person) and SHE got it for 7 bucks on clearance somewhere. Best free thing ever!

^ Score!

Oh it's more than score, it's great. I should do some clips of it later...maybe I'll see how my BYOC fuzz face sounds through it. tomorrow once i'm done building it.

i actually really like the guyatone mc-3 micro chorus. it's small and relatively cheap, good warm organic sounds, plus a slight volume boost when on. we use one on bass and keys a lot. but that crappy rubber thing to secure the base is HORRIBLE!

EHX Polychorus.

The polychorus i had was pretty badass. the only reason i parted with it is because of the jump in volume when engaged. you guys notice that too? anyone know if there is a mod to correct that?
second to the polychorus i'd say EQD Sea machine.
