I dont think the EHX Small Clones are that reliable, well they werent a year or two back, not sure if that still happens now. The Boss CE-5 is a very versatile Chorus pedal, as it has both bass-cut and treble-cut tone controls. I use one and love it, try one out if you get the chance to.

The Danelectro Cool Cat DC1 is about $70 retail and often half that used, and is an incredible sounding pedal. The effect is lush and warm with no electronic noise at all. Don't be mistaken, this is a big metal framed pedal and NOT one of those little cheap plastic things. I've got a BEAT TO HELL DC1 that sounds AMAZING!

There is also the EHX Stereo Electric Mistress, which combines both a Chorus and a Flanger in one pedal. It is 119 new, but I got mine for under a hundred on the 'Bay. Very cool sounding pedal

+1 on the Boss CE-5. I use it all the time.

You can hook 2 amps to it and go stereo. Neat feature that most won't likely use, but you never know...

I like the Stereo Clone Theory alot, but it's a bit hissy. The DanEcho is fantastic, but better on guitar. Not a fan of the Boss Chorus, but it is solid as a rock.

I like the CEB-3. I find the Nano Small Clone to have a horrible, "thin" sound to it.

If you get a chance to try a Rocktron Tsunami or Deep Blue, do so.

I've tried a bunch and my favorite is the Boss CE-5 but I liked the Clone Theory as well. Tough call between the two, different sounds.

I don't know. For the money a Peavey BAC-2 Stereo Bass Chorus is hard to beat. I got one brand new in the box from a local store for $15.00 + tax and I have frequently seen used ones in good condition go for less than $30.00.

I think my local shop has that same Peavey pedal your talking about (has a rubber circular button to step on) and they're trying to sell it for 75...what a rip.

I don't know that it's a rip. It's nice pedal that sold for around $200.00 or more new when they were in production if I am not mistaken. I just got lucky and the seller was motivated. Most of the used ones that I have seen tend to sell for between $30.00 and $50.00.

Another +1 for the Cool Cat. I stole one of the 18 Volt versions for $25.00 on the 'bay earlier this year.

Any different between the Cool Cat and the Cool Cat DC-1, or are they the same thing?
