SimonEdward Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Morning everyone The words 'Classic', 'Lush', 'Rich', 'Dimensional' (?), Glistening (??) and Organic (???) have all been used to describe an effect that I guess we've all used at some time: "Chorus".. There's a ton of 'em out there - so here's an opportunity to vote for your favourite and share your experience (good and bad) of using them somewhere in your chain! If I've missed your favourite from the list, please select 'Other' and mention it in the posts. So, without any further ado, and in true Lillympic fashion.. "Marks", "Set", "GO"!! SimonEdward Ps I own a Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus, but there's also one with seven tweak-able pre-sets that I'd like to try and another one with something called 'Toneprints' sounds interesting..

BigRedX Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The best chorus sound I have ever had on my bass was using an MXR Pitch Transposer. A 2U rack effect with a separate 1U module you to show the transpose interval. Even set to "0" it was never perfectly in tune and gave this amazing thickening effect without loosing any of the bottom end oomph that EH and Boss pedals of the time (early 80s) seemed to do.

bartelby Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I really liked my Trace Elliot Quad Chorus, until it went really noisy. Didn't really get on with the Digitech X-Series Bass Chorus it sounded really thin to me and the bloody thing ate batteries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Zoom B3 has some pretty sweet chorus effects on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Moog Moogerfooger Clusterflux (so I voted 'other'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonEdward Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thanks for all your responses and points-of-view received so far!

Truckstop Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I love the chorus on my Boss ME-20b. Not sure if it's based on the CE's? Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm liking the Boss CE-2 I have, but if I had the money then a Moogerfooger Clusterflux would be on my board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Other - I've got a home - made one which came in kit form, can't remember what it's a copy of but I suspect a small clone. The EBS is a great chorus pedal too - really versatile and built like a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have the Zakk wylde black label chorus. It's exactly te same as the m234 analog chorus. Love it to pieces I still have a soft spot for my trusty old ceb3 and ce5 (on which the m234 is based), and my Marshall supervibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I've been using an Ashdown bass chorus plus for the last few weeks and Im really impressed with it. Before that a Digitech Multivoice was my weapon of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Jack Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I voted other: the Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus. For such a cheap pedal I found it pretty versatile and better than the Boss ones, although I haven't tried any on the list except the Small clone, which wasn't for me.

51m0n Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The big MXR M134 stereo chorus is nice, for pedal Best chorus I've heard though was from an Eventide Harmoniser, totally epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonEdward Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hello! .. Just added a Digitech: CF-7 'Chorus Factory' to my board.

WalMan Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Used the Boss CE20 (currently for sale in my sig below) that allows you to store 4 patches and have a 5 manual optio. That is good, though a double pedal so a bit larger than normal. Currently using an EBS Unichorus that I really like. A smidge on the doubling setting sounds good with the fretless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
