Chorus

[fatsobasso]

need a chorus unit, any suggestions under $200, possible rack unit?

[rob_thebassman]

for a extra $25 an analogman is good

[andvari7]

It hovers around $220, but the EHX Stereo Polychorus is the most unorthodox analog chorus I have ever tried, and I've tried...some. Search 'Polychorus,' and read a thread I started two years ago. You will learn two things about me: 1. It is very obvious that I have no social life, and 2. I do rather like my Polychorus. You may also learn about what makes the Polychorus unique, but I tend to mask my technical reviews with convoluted prose.

But, for the best chorus sound you can get, you need two pedals and an amp: 1. the aforementioned Polychorus, 2. a Digitech Whammy, set to 'Deep,' and 3. a Roland Jazz Chorus. I like the JC-55, because unlike the 120, you can manually adjust both the rate and depth of the chorus (speed and detune). The 77 would work, too, but I own a 55.

I suppose you COULD augment my triumvirate of choral goodness with a Fulltone CFV-2, a Visual Sound H20, and an Electro-Harmonix Small Clone (or the Neo Clone, or the Analogman copy), but there are some problems with that: 1. the Fulltone pedal isn't available, and won't be for some time, and 2. that many chorus effects would just be too much for most people to handle.

Try to find a used Cosmichorus. If you get lucky it'll be under $200

Analogman is a great option. Used they hover around $200 or below

About a week ago I had the chance to try an Analogman Chorus...it did not have the deep option though. It was very nice. I like subtle chorusing though, and it nailed it.

I just got a EHX Stereo Electric Mistress and think it's awesome. Cheap pedal that does the job.

EHX Small Clone... I picked mine up used for around 40 bucks. I just love it! Do not underestimate these because of the price.

BOSS CE-2B. I have two.
My favorite after the old Roland JC-120H head (which had rate and depth controls).

It has chorus and flanger. I just turn the flanger off.

I just did a shoot out with some of the chorus's in my cache...my favorite one for Bass is been the Ibanez BCL or Bi-Mode Chorus...It's a bit older from the 80's, but has two oscillators.

cool beans

At your price range, the ebs uni chorus would be a good choice. the t-rex bass sweeper bass chorus pedal would be another good choice. and from what I understand is true, the digtech "hardwire" stereo chorus pedal works real good on bass.

[FunkyBassline]

Analogman mini-chorus with the fixed deep option is the bees knees, man. I got one recently and it kills, I use it for traditional style chorusing as well as mixing it with the OC2/MF101 combo... great pedal for a nice wobble.

+1

I'd suggest using the $200 to buy 3 or 4 used pedals and see if you can find something you like for much cheaper. Then you can simply turn around and sell the pedals for little to no loss.

[ilovenofrets]

Digitech X-Series Bass MultiChorus has a very rich sound, and some time back I was using a DOD FX63 Deep Freeze Bass Chorus that was nice, if but a little loss in the low end.

EDIT: Nevermind. I Unichorus for sale wasn't true bypass.

This may seem silly, but I'm trying to get a tone like this for a few songs:

He's using an EBS Unichorus and a Boss DD-3. I'm looking for a pedal that can do that subtle chorus. I'd rather not pay the money for the EBS if I don't have to. Any recommendations?

[wolffman]

recently got the hardwire cr-7, has 7 different modes and quite a few useable sounds. i like it. only use it to color other effects and not as a stand alone effect. its not analog or boutique but sounds good to my ears. picked it up used for $75 used.

[Josh Pelican]

Bump. Edited my post. Need suggestions!
