Members Sherwin Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 I tried the polychorus and I don't think it's for me. All of the settings sounded either too subtle or just too crazy. I'm not a huge flange fan either. What are the usual pros and cons of the Visual Sound H2O for chorus? Also how is the Echo half? Is it worth the $170?

Members dysorexia Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 I tried one, the echo is just alright. Chorus is a POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angelhair0 Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 No likey. Chorus is okay. Echo is lame. Well if you want something more subtle, I guess the H2O is fine. I use my Polychorus mainly for subtle chorus, but I have to turn the knobs wayyy down, almost to zero, to get anything subtle. Which is fine by me, because in the event I ever wanna get ridiculously crazy, I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackjack davey Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 But the Chorus is okay, delay/echo is suspect, and it's friggin' huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pandadan Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 I thought the general consensus on their pedals is that they're pretty gash as a whole. I was tempted by the J+H until I tried one. Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WorkingClassDan Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 yeah, it has been discussed a lot. But I thought the concensus was that both effects were OK but there were better examples of each. Personally, I liked how the echo was voiced. The chorus wasn't really what I got it for and it's the size of two effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy one for $30 and use it, but for more than that I would pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sherwin Posted February 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 Any other suggestions then? I think I'm getting a few better tones out of the Polychorus but it's still not what I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members freeridstylee Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 I actually really liked that pedal. I'd buy a used one though, for 80, not pay 160 for it. Was my 2nd fav chorus, i've had a jc120 amp (deff my fav) an ibanez 9 series chorus (too dark) and a dod. So I don't know too much about them. but thought the h2o was nice sounding and could get into vibe territory. The echo is the best "under the top" digital i've used. Voiced very well, just wouldn't get very loud, and got softer as repeats were turned up. More of an echo then a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MadCapLaughs Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 Apparently I'm in the minority, because I love mine. The Chorus is excellent, very versatile. Anything from crazy leslie-like stuff to a very subtle thickening of your tone. The echo is fine for my tastes, but I'm certainly no echo connosieur. Nice buffer, too. Despite the avalanche of negativity, I know there are at least a few others on this forum who like it. got mine used on ebay for $100 . . . great deal imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shaun126 Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 You're not alone, I love mine. My favorite chorus ever. If you like subtle chorus, its fantastic. The delay isnt anything mind blowing, but it sounds solid for a digital delay. Paid $75 used, it was a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adeanb Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 I like mine, paid $100 used. I have heard better examples of both effects but they are just fine. Makes for a tiny gig rig with Wah>OD>H2O. It also fits really well above a Qtron+ in the effects loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
