Analog Man Chorus

[Barcza]

I very interested in the Analog Man chorus, maybe the mini chorus. I only hear the analog man with guitar, and the sound amazed me. How work this pedal with elbass? Did you tried or do you have one? Please share your impressions.
Thanks,

So much for the welcome wagon!

Barcza, the Analogman choruses are VERY popular here. You can find lots of discussion on them, and there are clips of the standards and the mini here.

The only thing I don't like about it is the price, but if chorus is your thing, it's probably worth it.

I have the Bi-Chorus and I fully recommend me.
Alas, mine doesn't have the deep switch but regardless, it's epic.

I have the Analogman Mini Chorus with the deep mod and the blend control. It's fine, but sometimes I think the deep mod is a little too much. Anyone else feel the same?

Really? I thought most folks here like the deep mod because it gets, well, bassier...

It definitely gets bassier. In my opinion, it can get a little too bassy. I find myself mixing in more of the clean signal to cancel it out.

I don't have an experience with the chorus without the bass mod. Maybe it's not bassy at all. I do have experience with the EHX Stereo Clone Theory. This one loses some bass and I was ready to get rid of it. Over time I've actually grown to like it a little more than the AnalogMan though. Plus, it's a lot cheaper.

I have a BiChorus with the 3-way depth switch, internal mix, and stereo outs. The deep position is the only position that sounds good on bass IMO. The other two sound really trebly, and are only good for guitar, or pumping an octave up through.
I couldn't get into the Clone Theory. It sounds amazing on guitar, but I tried one in the store once using my gear, and the noise floor was surprisingly high.

You're right about the noise on the Clone Theory. That was another reason I was ready to get rid of it. I even asked AnalogMan if they could mod the pedal. But no luck because it has "surface mounted components." I think that's the term they used.

Anway, I've learned to get past the noise and actually like the pedal much better than before.

I really like the clips, sounds fantastic! I prefer the clips of the standard chorus than the mini clips! The mini sounds different or just perhaps the setup was different? Analog Man has any noise?

I haven't noticed any noise with my Mini.

It's great, but you need the deep setting

You mean the Fixed Deep Setting?

Fixed or switchable. There's two options to get the fixed setting. If you're only using the chorus with a bass, you can get away with the fixed deep setting (IIRC it's no extra charge). If you're going to be using it with a g****r as well, you'd probably want the depth switch like I have.

I had one for a while and although it's a nice chorus, I found it was just too thick for me...If you like subtle chorus, the analogman is not for you...

[Valerus]

I just sent Mike an Email asking him if he takes back pedals to mod them with the fixed deep setting. I think having the setting would prove to be very useful for me

A thick chorus seems good for me. Mostly I like a "8 string" bass like effect, but I don't use fast "rotary speaker" like chorus. Most important thing is: I really don't like when a pedal boosting or lowering the gain of my signal.

let me know what he says. i've got my eye on one locally that doesn't have the deep mod. of it can be done, i'll pick it up and send it to him to mod.

IIRC, the Analogman did not boost or lower the signal...and if you like thick...it could be the one for you...like I said they are nice pedals...

One chorus that jumps out that did boost the signal was the Guyatone micro...I thought it was really good sounding chorus, but couldn't get past the volume spike.

I still love my Hardwire CR-7 :] So many more options the Analogman doesn't have. Sounds just as thick as well.
