My favorite throb throb throbby pedal, fr realz? The Arion Stereo Chorus. Yes, cheap plastic enclosure, yes, lack of true bypass. Yes, "chorus." Ignore all that. It is a beast of a throb machine, and can get so bassy, it actually can get a major volume boost on bass if you're not careful with the tone control. I wub wub WUB it.

Also, the EQD Sea Machine can get super fun for teh crazy pitch wobbly throbby. Another "more than a traditional chorus" chorus.

Suppose I'm gonna take yer word for it, and assume that Arion Chorus throbs a little better than my current Boss CE-2, which is nice and warm and all, but it lacks a tone control and vibe-ish type depth.

Any idea what a fair price would be if I were to find one of these locally? I'm assuming/hoping that a plastic Arion pedlol should be cheapish, but for all I know what you're saying is common knowledge, and everyone and their mothers is on the hunt for klons, XP300s and Arion chorus pedals...

I'll see if I can put together a clip of mine on bass sometime today - my recording space is a bit of a hot mess, but maybe I can this afternoon.

As for pricing, I got mine for $45-ish a few years back. There is someone (I can't remember who, unfortunately) who was doing modded versions, with a true bypass installed and some kind of other mod - I saw one of those listed on b/s/t AGES ago (by... shit, who was it? My Bloody Television, maybe?) for around $120.

Another option is a good squarewave tremolo; which will produce throb, but a different sounding version since it switches all frequencies in the signal on/off.
