Members -DC/AC- Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 My collection of pedals is slowly growing and now I am in need of a chorus and a delay pedal. Right now I'm looking at a EHX Small Clone. It's analog, has true bypass, and is inexpensive, but I don't know how versatile it will be. Another option is the Analogman Chorus. The clips are very impressive and sound great, but it seems expensive. What are some other good chorus pedals? As far as delay goes, I'm not a huge user. I don't make ambient, or weird noises, I just want a good sounding delay pedal. I've had my eye on the EHX #1 Echo but I haven't heard much feedback on it. Please recommend some other delays.

Members starsailor803 Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 I've heard pretty negative feedback about the #1 Echo. I'd suggest a DE7. Great straight forward delay for under $100. Chorus, can't help you there since I don't really use one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -DC/AC- Posted October 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 ^Does the DE7 suck any tone? My friend had a few Ibanez pedals and got rid of them all because he said they ruined his tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kishjor Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 The Rocktron Short timer delay is actually very nice and very cheap, though I suggest the danelectro reel echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BTBAM Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 The de-7 is a great choice for delay for real cheap. Chorus wise...and i dont want to sound spamish at all...but I have a maxon cs550 that is probably my fav sounding delay for sale. I just got a Maxon cs-9 pro which is almost the same thing, only smaller...so I'm letting this one go. I hear its a little darker sounding...so I almost want to keep it...but space wise...this other is better for me. It has speed, depth, Mix, AND a delay time...it can get any sound possible...plus its a stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeremy Skrenes Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 You could try the Visual Sound H2O. Chorus and delay. I really dig my DLS Chorus~Vib, and I use an old DD5, but if I could do it over I'd probably buy a DE-7. I got my DD5 when it first came out and cost more than the current DD20 price. I keep it because it sounds good and I don't have a need for anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goominim Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 AnalogMan Delay. Not as bright as EH, but that's a good thing. The XL 600ms version is only $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jove Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yeah, get the Visual Sound. It's a good deal and good sounding and you get both tones from a single pedal. You could try the Visual Sound H2O. Chorus and delay. I really dig my DLS Chorus~Vib, and I use an old DD5, but if I could do it over I'd probably buy a DE-7.

Members IRG Posted October 7, 2007 Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have a DE-7 I will be selling now, and a Small Clone too. Haven't listed them yet, probably tomorrow. PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks A Small Clone and DE-7 are the exact pedals I'd get in your position. Not even because they're both under $100, but because they're both really good pedals.In response to your question on the DE7 sucking tone, it absolutely does not suck tone. Over the past few weeks I've sold off most of my pedals because of tone-suckage. The only ones that WEREN'T sucking tone were my two Ibanez pedals - my DE7 and FZ7 Fuzz. I sold the FZ7 because it was too muddy IMO, and the DE7 currently is my only pedal. I've tested it a few times now - going straight into the amp, and then through the DE7, and it doesn't suck tone at all.And IIRC, the Small Clone is true-bypass, so that shouldn't be an issue at all.

Members -DC/AC- Posted October 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2007 ^Well the DE-7 and Small Clone look like the frontrunners. And thanks IRG for letting me know you're looking to sell. I hope I'll get a chance to run to GC and try these out, then I'll let you know if I'm interested.

Members 89strat Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 I use a dd-20 and set one of the presets for a nice chorus sound. The only problem is that I can't use chorus and delay together, but the chorus sound that I get out of the dd-20 is really nice by setting the rate fairly low, time at about 5ms, level all the way up and feedback all the way off. I love it! By the way, the delays in the dd-20 are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -DC/AC- Posted October 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah the DD-20 seems cool, but a little excessive and expensive for me. So I know the DE-7 has an Echo and Delay setting, but is the Echo setting supposed to be tape or analog?(it doesn't really matter, I just want to know) I'm looking for a warm sounding delay one that is analog or at least sounds pretty close to analog.

The Echo setting is very analog-sounding. It's still digital, but it sounds really nice. I rarely take my DE7 off of the Echo setting. The Echo setting can get anything from a short reverb/echo to long delays to full on oscillation. The Delay mode is just that - a delay. No oscillation, and the delays sound different from the echo mode. They're a bit clearer, where the echo mode actually sounds like an echo and decays as the repeats keep going.

Members starsailor803 Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 ^Same here. I rarely use the delay mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noise... Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 ^Same here. I rarely use the delay mode. Yeah - it's not so much that it's bad, it's just that the echo side is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -DC/AC- Posted October 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 ^Sounds cool. Anyways, back to the chorus pedals. I know the Small Clone is probably my best bet right now, but what do you guys think of the Analogman Chorus or Bi-Chorus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starsailor803 Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 Anti, I didn't know that the delay mode wouldn't oscillate. I guess I never tried. The echo mode's oscillation is wicked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BTBAM Posted October 8, 2007 Members Share Posted October 8, 2007 They are great....but they are costly. And personally...like I said before...some other chorus's are cheaper and have lots more tweaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
