The CE-5 is a standard pretty much I'd say. Though if you want a serious chorus look at Voodoo Labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted December 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 ok, my next stupid question.. other than the size and price, what's the difference between the small clone and the nano clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind making a custom case with two or three effects in it and heavy duty stomp switches Arion ? IIRC the switch , you see these modded here and there , but they are like 30 bucks or so on ebay I think I would go EH but I would want to try that one before I bought it , go out to GC and give it a spin . It should be true bypass as well but I'm not sure how it's limited controls would work for bass . Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 The afforementioned "vintage" Ibby would be my recommendation for your price range. If you want to spend a little more, the voodoolabs can't be beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you wouldn't know for sure what it's going to take to fix it but what's the minimum I'm looking at, cost wise. Gotta make sure it's worth having fixed. Also, what would you expect the turn around time to be on that? Thanks GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted December 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 I suppose for a good pedal I could go a little over my budget, but there are other things i want too. I gave my zoom bx1 to my nephew as a christmas present, he's just starting out. so what I would LIKE to get eventually is chorus, flange, fuzz, a tuner, and a volume pedal, and build them all into a custom pedal board. I'm going to go all used to keep the cost as low as possible. I have 100 cash, and Mary Ann bought me a Hartke Bass Attack pedal for christmas that I'll be returning, that will give me another 80. I know I can't get all that stuff for 180 but I would like to get as much as possible for that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks GM hey man, turnaround on most repairs is about 3 days or so. the cost is gonna depend on what's going on with it. what exactly is it doing /not doing? also,fwiw, i may have a mij ce-3 up for sale pretty cheap here shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never found it too limiting, but I don't use chorus a huge amount and I've always felt the trade-off for such a tone worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
