Members bowlingshirt Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Some flangers can get a chorus-y sound by dialing in a subtle setting. If you're looking for a cheap chorus & flanger pedal in one, you should also consider the ibanez CF-7 (I think that's the model number)...or maybe an EHX Stereo Mistress (it has chorus and flange).

Members DeadStar00 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 i've been told about the ibanez cf-7 several times but i can never find it. i think people are talking about digitech cf-7... or maybe that ibanez just isn't available in europe? i've also heard that the stereo mistress causes a volume drop? it's also a bit more expensive than the RG-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeleMan1985 Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 If you're based in the UK i'm selling a regenerator in the Spam thread. It's not a bad pedal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flanging_fred Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have one... As Lanefair says, it's not a bad pedal. All 6 modulation types are pretty solid if somewhat unspectacular. 1 chorus mode, phaser, flanger are all decent enough. 1 chorus mode is not to my taste. the step phaser is fun but a bit of a novelty. The uni-vibe setting is my favourite and is why I keep it around despite having some other decent chorus, flange and phaser pedals. The addition of the expression pedal input is useful and fun. It's built pretty solidly but mine at least, seems a little fickle about powering and can be a little hissy in some situations.

Members SDSMusic Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 The addition of the expression pedal input is useful and fun. The expression pedal rate control is the best thing about this pedal IMHO. I really dig the sound of sweeping the rate of the step phaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uni-vibe setting is my favourite and is why I keep it around despite having some other decent chorus, flange and phaser pedals. +1. The vintage chorus on it doesn't shimmer or go as deep as i'd like, multi chorus is fairly cool and goes a bit deeper and is actually pretty good, phaser is okay but doesn't do deep and lush as well as my MXR Phase 100, Flanger is....well, it's not bad, it's just not spectacular. It does the jet airplane swooshing good enough, but doesn't do the fast and watery chorus-y flange thing well at all, and as Fred says, the uni-vibe is definetely the best sound in the Regenerator. But for the price, it's a really versatile pedal, and is very handy to have live, where alot of pedals' nuances get lost in the mix, anyways. Recording-wise and live-wise, the Digitech CF-7 is nearly unbeatable though. I'm not a fan of strict chorusing or flanging by themselves, but like a good watery chorus-y flange, which the Digitech CF-7 does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stereo Electric Mistress is $99 IIRC. I don't know what their respective prices are in Europe, but either way, I'd avoid the Marshall and get something else. Even the Ibanez would be better. I really don't like the current Marshall pedals. They aren't as heavy duty as they seem, and they just don't sound great. If they were $50, I wouldn't complain, but at their top-dollar prices, they just don't cut it. There are much better options out there for less money. If you spend a bit more, you're in an entirely different league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members homestar_kevin Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yeah honestly, if you can find a deal on this guy, the step phaser alone is worth it. I love mine, but I got it for cheapz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mine, but I got it for cheapz Oh yeah--I forgot the step phaser! It's cool--not entirely useable (I think that i've used a step phaser effect only once on a song, either live or in the studio in ten years....), but interesting, nonetheless.
