Members FastRedPonyCar Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I like my hardwire chorus but I'm not a huge analog conneseur of analog chorussesses. That should mean that I'm easy to please but I'm actually extremely picky with my chorus sound. I loath the warbling and wobbly chorus sound. my favorite part of the hardwire is that it's true stereo in and out so it can be used for dual amp stereo setups or wet/dry/wet config's as well. This is how I like it set (a decent video to show it off as it's running DI in true stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I.P. Freeley Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 Boss CE-1 is still one of the best imo. DOD FX-60 and FX-65 are great. I'll second the FX65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fishbowlfire Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I use a 18V Danelectro Cool Cat. You can use a 9V transformer with it but it sounds thicker, deeper and warmer with the 18V power supply that comes with it. In true 18V mode I would put it up against any analog chorus in the under $75 category. 2nd choice would be the Visual Sounds H2O chorus/echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PopsBdog Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 Let's see. Had a Boss CS-2, Ibanez CS505, an Ibanez CS9, an Ibanez CS9 RI, an Ibanez BCL, a Danelectro Milkshake, a DOD FX-65, and a DOD FX-68..................... What I use is the DOD FX-65.The FX-65 has a shimmer I am looking for. It's on my Pedal Board.I also like the Dano Milkshake as it is has to me a very similar sound to the Ibanez CS-505 and CS9 at a lot lower cost.

Members the_gunslinger Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I still enjoy my beat to hell MXR chorus quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thefyn Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I tells ya what, I do love Ibanez Tone-Lok CF7 Chorus/Flanger. Great for cleans, but holy crap it sounds good with distortion. Uber tastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhenson42 Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've owned the following.... TC Nova Modulator Boss CE-1 Eventide Modfactor TC Corona Chorus (currently own this) Redwitch Empress Strymon Ola Chorus Also played the Choralflange and the TC chorus/flanger with the built in plug. The best one IMO is the Redwitch. I sold it when I bought the Axe and have been looking for a cheaper replacement. I should just buy another. I do want to try the Neunaber ChromaChorus though - so maybe that's next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuyLoCo444 Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 The Analogman chorus pedals are my favorite by far. this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just to complicate things/muddy the waters, I also keep going back & forth between my chorus pedals and the detune setting in my Digitech HarmonyMan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willy22 Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 ORtCS4mky8k I've had one of these forever. Very deep and huge sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RiffDaemon Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I had one of those and it was great, but I like the MXR stereo chorus better because of the EQ controls. +1 The LPF option comes in handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dcooper830 Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I don't think I've ever come across a chorus pedal I didn't like. I'm not a big chorus user... but I need it for certain songs. I have: Boss CE-2Boss CE-5Boss CH-1Hardwire CR-7 Behringer C0600 Chorus Orchestra I love 'em all. They all easily get me a sound I like. I like to go for the lush Andy Summers type chorus. For warm analog sounding chorus ..... the Hardwire CR-7 does that extremely well... plus it has other modes for more shimmery brighter chorus. I also have a TC Electronic G-Major 2 ...... and I like the pedal choruses better than what I get with that unit for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk used a CE-5 on his old pedalboard before ^?He used a lot of chorus on the Ozzmosis album, in fact, some of the thickest chorus effects I've heard. I think the new BLS album has some on it too.

Members Cougar Hunter Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I thought Zakk used a MIJ CE-2 before the MXR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reauchambeau Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I thought Zakk used a MIJ CE-2 before the MXR. and an analog CH-1, which is a great chorus. I think his most famous work was done with a CH-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PINKUSFLOYDUS Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 A Roland Jazz Chorus amp seems pretty interesting... After 35 years of hunting sound, it seems that Roland has chorus sound down pretty good... I had a GP-8 and now have a GP-16... Both have a stereo chorus that is real good. I also would have to say that MXR has always had good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doomsdaymachine Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I thought Zakk used a MIJ CE-2 before the MXR. Zakk used all Boss, before MXR came along, and basically duplicated them, added much needed improvements, and offered a sturdier pedal. My Wylde OD is basically a souped-up SD-1, which he also used. The Wylde OD is lessed compressed, doesn't suck bass, and is more aggressive sounding than the SD-1, which, again, was his go-to for boosting his JCM800's.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I sold my Boss CE-5, and bought this. VERY pleased!! duh! I don't know why I didn't think of this one before, since ZW tone is the main reason I use chorus. I NEED to give this a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt he'll record anything again as timeless and popular as the classic stuff he did with Boss pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
