Members Sanda Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've really become interested in a chorus pedal lately. These two seem to have gotten stellar reviews on the internet. I'm trying to keep the $ around 50-80 with a new or used one. Interesting to hear what you use and your thoughts on one of these pedals....BTW.. I play rythym guitar...

Members TeleMan1985 Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think you'll find most people around here dislike the CE-5. I'd go small clone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trlkvsky Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 i'll say it depends on what chorus sound you're going for, really. i have both a small clone and a ce-2, and while the small clone is GREAT, i find mine is somewhat dark and highlights lower frequencies a bit much. so i hardly consider using it with the neck p/u on my tele. this weekend i found a great deal on a mij ce-2 and was curious to check it out. both are really different, but i guess the ce-2 is much more what i was looking for to begin with. it is a bit thinner and doesn't really get as crazy or can't really do a good leslie-type sound like the small clone can, but i think it suits my needs a bit better. as for the ce-5 i've never tried it, but i can't say i've heard many great things about it either...

Members pjrake Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 i just got a small clone also. it sounded great at the store, but when placed on the FX loop of my dual rectifier you can hardly hear it (i have both return and send mix at 12'0clock). it doesn't have a level knob this week when i get back to the studio i'm thinking of just putting it front of the amp. i know that's a major "no no" but it doesn't hurt to try.

Members trlkvsky Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 Is it? Chorus always go in front of the amp in my book... some of us don't even have a choice... actually, i was wondering if this wasn't why i wasn't digging my small clone all that much at first. i forget who but someone had mentionned hating the sound of small clone up-front but loving it in the loop...

Members Ambient Exposure Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 Out of those 2, I would go with the small clone. Just make sure you dont get the nano clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjrake Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 Is it? Chorus always go in front of the amp in my book... since it's a time-based effect i thought it always goes in the loop, along with delays. but then again, rules are meant to be broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the nano clone? It's basically a version of the small clone fitted into a more compact housing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ambient Exposure Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 The nano clone is a mini version of the small clone that has a big volume drop. Basically, EH just brought some of there pedals out in mini form like the MXR pedal size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Puddlegum Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 I like the small clone, but I hate the audible "pop"ing noise when you turn the effect on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AxemBlack Posted March 12, 2007 Members Share Posted March 12, 2007 CE-5 - I have oneThe Small Clone switch is super-clunky, and loud. Also I heard a lot of people had reliability issues with them. Check the review here on HC.I did a lot of research into mid-priced Chorus pedals, I think (with the exception of the CE-2, which I couldnt be bothered with, cuz of the 12V thing) the CE-5 is the nicest sounding and reliable.
