Members bikehorn Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 The Cool Cat is the only chorus pedal I've ever owned. Actually I'm a little attached to it because it was the first pedal I ever bought, but something about the sound isn't doing it for me anymore. I still like it better than most choruses I've tried, especially given that a lot of chorus pedals are just garbage... but I need a change of scenery. The other day I went into a local music shop and tried an EHX Clone Theory. I really liked it, not least because it also was a vibrato which is something else I've wanted. I always wanted that Dinosaur Jr "The Lung" vibrato sound that J Mascis had, and this thing has a good approximation of that sound...although at lower speeds I didn't really find vibrato to be all that interesting or useful. Still the chorus was nice(main reason I want it) and had a certain transparency the CC doesn't. I'm really thinking about ditching the Dano for the Clone Theory. The original reason I bought a chorus at all was to put it before my delay(which I didn't even own at that point, but planned to get) so I could play U2 songs and get that modulated echo sound. That's still the main sound I use it for, as I don't usually have it on for a lot of other things(I hate the sound of chorus with anything more than mild OD). I prefer phasers for modulation. So if you were me, what would you do? If you were selling an 18 volt Cool Cat, how much would you sell it for? I don't have a good idea of the resale value of these things. Do 18 volt models command higher prices than newer 9 volt CCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cruciatus Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 depending on condition you should be looking in the 40 range shipped, esp. if you have the 18v adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Surrealistic Brillo Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Talk me into/out of selling my 18v Dano Cool Cat and getting a Clone Theory I can't. Although if I were you and I had the money I'd get an Analogman Clone Chorus instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bikehorn Posted December 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 just get the clone theory and keep the cool cat! I'm not a big enough chorus user to justify having multiples. I even thought about the Line 6 Space Chorus, but the only thing I trust Line 6 for presently is the Echo Park. Besides, I need the proceeds to get a compressor.
