Members pinkzep52 Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm looking for a chorus pedal (cheap) that will give me some great shimmery and smooth sounds. Im looking for something subtle and not over the top (i have a flanger for that) and something that kinda just melts into the atmosphere of a song. Like more of an ambienent type chorus than a cheezy warbly 80s sound. Nothing nasty; a very pretty chorus sound. The slow part of six by ATR is a good example of what im going for. Also ill be using this for jazzy type stuff too. Here is a demo of what im going for . Skip to 1:50 when he starts doing the chorus harmonies. I love that sound he gets there. So what chorus pedal under 75 will get me that? Thx in advance HC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I {censored} you not, it's a completely analog chorus pedal and sounds damn good. It will easily get that sound that you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members homestar_kevin Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 You might be able to get an MIT ce-2, but other than that ce-3 or small clone for cheapzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members byteblock Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 I got a CE-3 off EBAY for cheap. I recommend modding it because it sounds brittle and noisey in stock form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 The distortion sucks... I should have gone with the chorus... The distortion was decent, but mine bled through horribly. I took it back after about a week. However, I was just jamming with the chorus and my DE7, and I highly, highly recommend it. I can't believe how good it sounds. I had the DE7 set to a repeat-heavy, ambient delay, and the Fender Chorus set to a subtle, slow shimmer. Damn what a great combo. To think that the two of them can be easily had for $80-$100 is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members triplover64 Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have a BBE Mindbeder used once or twice. Not a big fan of chorus and it's OTT for me. Make an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Destructobot Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm selling my Ibanez BC-10 bass choruse for $40 shipped. Don't let the name fool you, it's great on guitar. It's all analog and is a really pristine sounding, shimmery chorus, just like what you described. Pm me if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jacek Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 Try a NEW (i.e. not used) Righteous Tones Electro-Shine: http://righteoustones.com/electro_shine.html I doubt you will find a new, all-analog, true bypass chorus for that price anywhere. And judging from the samples, it sounds very nice. I have the Righteous Tones JACK and have been very happy with it as a parametric EQ. Have my Fang and Sonic Mayhem in the mail as we speak...looking forward to getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RUExp? Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 The CE-3 would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IvIark Posted March 6, 2008 Members Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think the Small Clone is up there with the best, even when compared to a lot of more expensive choruses. If you need subtle just turn the rate down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
