Members Teahead Posted January 15, 2005 Members Share Posted January 15, 2005 Nice score Olle!I have a soft spot for chorus too and I may try the Clone Chorus from Analogman sometime, but for now I don't imagine it would "fit" with what I'm doing.By The Way!

Members bieke Posted January 15, 2005 Members Share Posted January 15, 2005 yup, the CE-2 is good, not as good as the CE-1 chorus ensemble (which also has a succulent vibe mode), but the CE-2 is less noisy, one of those choruses that can do that dreadful 80's chorus sound without becoming cheesy, and the warbly vintage chorus sound can also be had with it, the only issue I have with the CE-2 is that it does not work with distortion all that well, preferred the Small Clone for that, but for the time being, my MIJ CE-2 is on the board, gotta love that baby blue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bieke Posted January 15, 2005 Members Share Posted January 15, 2005 yes, I've been thinking about putting my Moogerfooger 12 stage phaser on my board as well, and loose the DL-4, too bad I need the DL-4 for gigs, otherwise I would have a nice Moogerfooger threesome ... the 12 stage does not work too well with distortion either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thebazaar Posted January 16, 2005 Members Share Posted January 16, 2005 I prefer the CE3. Can be hooked up to do vibe or stereo chorus. I just started listening to some Budgie when i saw this topic...chorus is awesome for classic metal clean intros. And for solos...reverb and chorus, mmmmmmmm.

Members fishfartz Posted January 16, 2005 Members Share Posted January 16, 2005 i like to use it a bit on the cleans, not all the time but a good bit of time. it does add a nice spaciousness that alot of people like to hear, even if they dont realize its an effect (you know - non players, they think the clean guitar just sounds good & thick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members corso Posted January 16, 2005 Members Share Posted January 16, 2005 For a while I put a Maxon CS550 at the end of my chain, set for a spacious stereo doubling-type thing, after reverb and everything. Very nice, if done subtly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TexGtr Posted January 16, 2005 Members Share Posted January 16, 2005 chorus is only rediculous if you use it in rediculous ways. I like the added shimmer my guyatone/ce-2/rocktron can give with high depth and low speed, so that the sweep of the LFO is not too obvious. I love the "rolling along" feeling that it can add. Just do not utilize it as one of those nasty 80's rockers did. Maybe more in the Frusciate style (esp. BSSM album.) OH yeah, NEVER on acoustics though.. man, it seems to make everything "church rock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hell Bites Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 Someone should really have a shoot-out of chorus pedals with clips, I think that would really help. Also, a pre-Keeley and post-Keely CE-2 clip comparison would be great;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members (((echo))) Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 chorus can sound great when being used the right way... i'm going to try a poly chorus and a dc-2 when i get the chance didn't you have a dc-2 olle?... if so how do you find the ce-2 compares?

Members Mike McLenison Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 I run my rig in stereo, the analog chorus in on the wet signal delay amp. Doesn't mess with the original pristeen signal! Wouldn't have it any other way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Montag Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 i do like chorus even more so when im on a big smiths kick, like now. i have a ce5. its decent, but id like to try something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danut Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 As I play 100% dry, I'd like to put something in the FX loop to add just a hint of ambience. I am torn between chorus and reverb. What do you guys suggest? I need a box that I would set and forget and have it on all the time, regardless of what I play (clean, crunch, hi gain riffs or solo). I would also only use it sparingly. I thought of Holy Grail or TC SCF. Am I that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Disco, Chorus has never gone away.It's just been absorbed into the vocabulary.Chorused sounds are all over radio, from "cool alt" bands to mainstream sludge.If if sounds good, it is good. Go with your ears, they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thelonius Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've been off of chorus here lately. I'm going to keep the analogman though because I'm sure I'll like it more. I've never gotten the thing with people hating chorus because of 80's cheese metal and pop music. People don't hate marshalls because of 80s cheese metal. I listen to The Cure, the Replacements, Nirvana, the Police...all of these bands that people who hate 80s cheese chorus listen to and I hear chorus. So it causes me confusion.
