Members BAZGUITARMAN Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 This is the last thing I have to add to my pedal board to make myself happy. I had a Digitech Multi-Voice chorus which sounded great but caused a feed-back loop with my 5150 II. So It had to go and I`m looking again. I do not use much chorus at all. I use it to widen clean stuff and add a little extra something to lower gain rhythms. I just use it here and there. And just on a few songs. I need a great sounding, but simple unit. I like to set my chorus and forget about it. These are the ones I`m looking at right now.

Members Sardocasm Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 I haven't used any of the pedals you've mentioned, but I own a EHX Small Clone and it sounds great and is by far the most simplistic unit out there, featuring a single knob and a switch for depth.

Members deldgeetar Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 The Small Clone is a great pedal. Mine broke several years ago, I need to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveVHT Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 If you are running mono, it's personal taste. I'd get the H20 or if you have the bread...Get a Fulltone Choralflange....But, the best to me is the vintage TC Electronic Chorus...But they are pricey...

Another vote for the EHX SC, super simple, sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vigo1999 Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 imo you should take a look to the Ibanez SC10, lush stereo ANALOG chorus with true BBD chip and made by Maxon at the time plus you can find'em for peanuts at the bay (around 35-40 bucks you can get one . . .).my 0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stephen Colbert Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 It would help if you narrowed it down to a select few, and even maybe posts some pictures of the units your considering first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BAZGUITARMAN Posted May 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks for the replies guys. I know a lot of players like the Small Clone, but I`ve heard really bad things about noise and reliability. A lot of bad things. About 50% of the people I`ve talked to have said something about excessive noise and reliability problems. I don`t want to have to deal with those issues. I want something that is bullet proof and noise free. Good tone with no baggage. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 Those are all kind of run-of-the-mill crappy pedals. There are much better choruses on the market that do a lot of tones. Most of the pedals you have listed have one sound. Check these out: Red Witch Empress ChorusRetroSonic Stereo ChorusAnalogman Bi-ChorusDiamond Halo ChorusTC Electronic SCF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dropped_2_C Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'd go with the H2O to be honest Eric they make great products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackba Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 I voted Ibanez CS-9, I had an original, great chorus pedal. Very natural sounding. I now have an Ibanez Bi-mode chorus, it is basically 2 choruses in one. My favorite chorus is the Jacques Meistersinger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
