Dunlop have yesterday posted on their Facebook page the photo of a pedalboard with a couple of intriguing pedals in it...

Don't have much hopes for that OD as I never really liked their distortions, but that Chorus seems interesting, I used to love my Stereo Chorus and only sold it because it was too big and needed 18v...
Now if they only did a Bass Flanger with a Mix knob, or had a Flanger option switch in that Chorus like the EBS, I'd grab it straight away! I wonder what those two buttons are for...

The talk is that the od is based around the pork loin.
Was never a fan of the PL, but I'll give it a try! It's my duty, being an mxr fanboy!
Apparently, the chorus does have a flanger switch.
The chorus is rumoured to be shipping before the end of the year and the od around namm time (in the states, that is)

Found this photo courtesy of a Talkbass member, which confirms that there is a Flanger setting on the pedal.

Recently just bought a used Boss CE-5 but could be easily persuaded to get rid of that and buy this, depending on if it's as good as I'm expecting it to be. Think I'll definitely be replacing my Bass Big Muff with MXR's Bass Fuzz Deluxe - seriously impressed with how good their range of bass-orientated pedals are these days. Also just bought the MXR M80 and I'm already over the moon with the sound and quality of it. Definite MXR fanboy in the making.

The Chorus appears to have a 2 Band EQ. Nice touch. I've been pretty impressed with the MXR Bass offerings. Although I'm a firm lover of the Octamizer, TLC, and Filter Twin, the MXR Comp, Octaver and Envelope Filter are all GREAT pedals, and if I couldn't use the Aguilar pedals, they're what I'd go for.

If its like the Stereo Chorus crossover (and there is no reason to think it wont be, that bass chorus pedal is awfully similar to a lot of what the stereo chorus offers) then, for me, its not too good, since it doesnt just drop the effect out of the bottom octave, it also gives a quite hefty bass boost which I dont want.

Be interested to see if this pedal does the same thing.....

Do love the stereo chorus though, its lovely (apart from that one niggle, and the 18v thing).

Forgot to update after the bass show-
I got to try both at the west side booth at the show. They had provided headphones to check te pedals out amongst the slappy pissing contest, and I discovered that the chorus sounds great but suffers with a lot of noise over the sound, although would probably go unnoticed in a mix, and the overdrive is very very dark.
I'm going to try them both again in a better environment, since I'm a bit of an mxr fanboy, and really want to like them ;)

I'm impressed with the sound of the overdrive in that vid, it's a really nicely done demo.

Here's more of Juan, this time with the chorus.
