Members thebazaar Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 i want a chorus and simpler phaser (plus i want to save my red witches the bangs of the road) so; Boss CE2, or:Jacques MeistersingerProtone LithiumRetro-sonic Phaser and Phase 90, or;PsilsocybeQuaser chorus i would like thick and shimmery. Phaser something swirly, thick and insane...just like the phase 90 My reason for asking. ive owned both the phase 90 and ce2, and loved them. But getting a CE2 and vintage phase 90 can be as costly as a nice hand-made pedal. I dont wanna spend heaps, and i'd love to pick up the originals, but if i can get "clones" for less, i will.

Members Johnny Metro Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 I like the EVH Phase 90 - especially the script mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Do you really need chorus? Sorry, I'm just on a crusade of late. I'd just say, get a Phase 90 with R28 mod. Simple answer. For cooler stuff, can't go wrong with the retrosonic or Quasar, IMO. As you point out, for the amount you're gonna drop on the two, you could have one pedal to cover those bases...In this case, I'd just drop for the Quasar. Lots of options with that, compared to most others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Guy Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Brian Marshall's Quasar is very cool. Not a one trick pony either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thebazaar Posted April 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have an on-again, off-again love affair with chorus, much like i do with delay and compression. so im biting the bullet and trying to pick up some keepers. The keeley comp i know is a keeper. As is a phase 90, esp a cheap used pedal with the mod But the CE2 is over-priced methinks. I mean, they are going at rates close to what CE1's are going at. I would love an Ibanez BC9. my fave chorus outside the Medusa. Im not sure what possessed me to trade it away...stupid gear fickleness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Heh, I not sure where you're shopping mate but if they're pricing a CE-2 at anywhere near CE-1 value (AUD$300?) they shouldn't be your store any more. The Music Swop Shop often has a CE-2 in stock: website says they have one for $110, though they're often pretty slow updating sold stock so it could be gone. http://www.musicswopshop.com.au/effects.htmThere also ebay - they rarely go above $120 unless they're mint with box. I'm in a chorus place at the moment too. Have an 18v CS-505 on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Seth Carmody Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yeah, I thought I was going to get a bargain then someone bumped the price up $40 in the last 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tigger_ferret Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm not really a fan of chorus, but I do quite like the CE2 if your gonna have a chorus on your board, they are still pretty cheap but are slowly getting more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
