what chorus do you suppose this is?

I've been listening to this Terry Reid record Rogue Waves and there's a chorused guitar all over it.  I like the sound so I was curious what pedal could be making it.  I wanted to share the opening track "Ain't No Shadow" but it's not on Youtube. Here's a link to it on Spotify: Terry Reid – Ain't No Shadow

If you don't use Spotify, there's the second track on Youtube which also features the sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJHy_J2z7qo

It was released in 1979, so I figure there probably weren't that many chorus pedals in production, but I don't know much about what was around.

Re: what chorus do you suppose this is?

agreed, sounds more like flanger to me too, pretty shallow and mellow though

Polychorus does awesome chorus-y flange tones. turn that tune knob up half way.

Re: what chorus do you suppose this is?

The Boss CE-2 was around by then, as was its predecessor, the CE-1. Since the CE-2 wasn't released until the end of 1979, the CE-1 would be the more likely possibility. Of course, there's also the JC120 Jazz Chorus, which has the same chorus / vibrato circuit as the CE-1 built-in, and was first released in 1975.
