Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm a mainly acoustic player. I've been trying out different chorus pedals. One problem I'm finding is that they take away from the warmth and organic-ness of the acoustic. All the videos I'm finding on YouTube are similar (works for electric though). My question is will all chorus pedals do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 Don't get a chorus pedal for acoustic. They don't sound good on acoustic. Chorus is good for bass guitar and vocals and certain bands from the 80s like Die Kreuzen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 I think you could make it sound good by splitting your signal and do a wet/dry setup.. I betcha that would sound decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stevemcb Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 I find most chorus pedals thin things out a bit, and I don't like that. My suggestion is to get a chorus with a high-rolloff type EQ, like the Danelectro cool cat chorus (the new series) or if you wanna go for my ideal (and a great piece of vintage plastic) the Arion SCH-1. Both have high-rolloff type tone knobs (the CC's is much more subtle than the SCH-1) and the cool cat is also equipped with a mix control which lets you dial in the amount of dry signal. So I would suggest the dano (which is also nice and cheap!). Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flaser_Phanger Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 I would suggest a chorus with a wet/dry blend for acoustic, like the t.c.electronics chorus+, I tried it on my 12-string acoustic and it sounded fantastic, but you can't blend in too much of it, though. Here's a comparison (with sound samples) of a whole bunch of choruses, maybe this helps. www.pedalarea.com/choruses.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peridot1 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 I hear the Fishman AFX is the way to go for acoustics. Never tried one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members claytonjohn18 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 See if you can find a vibrato with wet and dry outs and reverse AB them into one signal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imtheking Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 CH-1, very subtle, perfect for acoustic. Or the danelectro cool cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
