Members Janglin_Jack Posted June 6, 2005 Members Share Posted June 6, 2005 For the money, the EH Small Clone is hard to beat. The Analogman Clone Clone is very good. But I have found the Meistersinger and I think it sounds as good as the others, (and has a blend knob). Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members threm Posted June 6, 2005 Members Share Posted June 6, 2005 EH Poly Chorus in stereo mode is a favorite here. Thick and spacey at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Twang Posted June 6, 2005 Members Share Posted June 6, 2005 I used to have an AnalogMan Clone Chorus, which I thought was really excellent. But then when I realized that chorus is totally ghey, I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mabus013 Posted June 6, 2005 Members Share Posted June 6, 2005 I would say my DOD Mini Chorus (mxr box) but lately I've been thinking I should trade it for an Electric Mistress. It's an EH Small Clone copy in an mxr housing, but with a depth knob instead of a two-position switch like the Small Clone. Same set up as the Clone Clone, and sounds great. Clone-type choruses are really the only ones I tend to like - I never really liked the smooth, 'pop' eighties chorus sounds. The Clone-type chorus just seems so more 'dimensional' and rich sounding. Still, I've been jonesing for a Mistress lately and I wonder if it couldn't do the job the DOD has been doing until now, and maybe more. I liked the filter option and thought that there was a larger wealth of sound in the EM. That said, anyone interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gdwill2u Posted June 6, 2005 Members Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't understand how anyone can really like the CE2...I gave mine away for 10 bucks and don't miss it agt all. I have foxrox TXf which is really nice and an EHX Clone for the pure chorus effect, and I haven't heard anything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeverist Posted June 6, 2005 Members Share Posted June 6, 2005 Arion SCH-1. My other favorites are the Boss CE-2(have it) and the Small Clone(used to have one), but the SCH-1 is the overall winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss CE-1 (The chorus side isn't very versatile)*#4 EH Small CLone (almost as good as the CS-505, but still not tht versatile) #5. Boss CE-2 (I've bought three or so of these, and they're better than the Ibanex CS-9)#6. Ibanez CS-9 (wewewewewewe, it's Lavender!)I cam't rate my Clone Theory because unfortunitly it makes a loud modulation noise whne the effect is engaged, even when I'm not playing.

It sounds as though you are experiencing clock noise, a common issue with this pedal. Where have you placed the Clone Theory in your rig? Have you adjusted the internal trimmers at all?

I've noodled with the trim pots a few times, but they're not labeled so I have to mark 'em and play by ear. I have an SM-58 plugged into it, then it runs into a Stereo Memory Man. I use them for weird vocal effects. Exterminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fingermush Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 I kinda miss the French Toast pedal. Another thing that's wrong with my CT s that the boost switch doesn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 Originally posted by Last Nerve The FoxRox TZF can do some amazing chorus sounds, but the flanger is too damn good to use it for that! The Red Witch Medusa has grown on me. Just a wealth of great chorus tones all across the spectrum. If I had the room, I'd pick up the Analogman Bi-Chorus, just to have the Leslie preset. Amen. Amen. And Amen The Red Witch, the TZF and the BiChorus (my current Pedal Pick of the Month) are all world class at what they do - what a wonderful age we're living in Bro's! And it's because the BiChorus and the Red Witch and the TZF have all peaked my interest and my creativity bone with all these layered lush soundscapes - so today while I was visiting my favorite pawn shop - I found a vintage Ibanez Chorus (you know -the one with the square on/off button) for $59. I grabbed it up immediately without even thinking about it. It's so surreal and real at the same time. I can literally swim in all of these pedals.

Members LWatford-2 Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 I like the Arion SCH-z, the SCH-1 (I kinda like the z a little better, it does have a volume boost, but I can get around that, so no problem)...I liked the DOD 460 chorus I had a little while, I'd like to have another some day.

Members sonaboy Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 Jacques makes quite a sleeper pedal. tiny bitch, but damn if it doesn't sound nice. and i hate chorus with a passion. if he'd make it stereo, it'd be a quite the killer.

Another thing that's wrong with my CT s that the boost switch doesn't do anything. Interesting ... you have the earlier version, I believe. Mine is the later one with a "Vib/Flange" mode. Anyway, the "Edge" switch should make it extremely piercing when engaged ... or so I have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jet Bycraft Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 My TZF took the place of my ADA Flanger. So now, the ADA has taken over the chorus postion. The ADA is running through my FX loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FLYING V 83 Posted June 7, 2005 Members Share Posted June 7, 2005 Well, last night I did a shootout with the Guyatone MC3 & the Arion SCH-1 (old grey face one) The MC3 has a volume boost that distorts my cleans, and not a whole lot of range to it, so it's going back. The SCH-1 is THE chorus I've been searching for!!! Anything from light airy doubling to killer Leslie warbles and the tone control allows crispy highs to get thru. Got it from my drummer for $50. It's mint, too! The best I've used yet, and dead silent when engaged too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
