chorus: which one gives the best bang for the buck?

This is very useful to prevent the low end from being smeared and washed out. Also, it has a very low noise. The price is also good.

Well put.....I'll second that.......

i use the boss ceb-3 and i'll tell you, while its not the ideal chorus for me it is a very good chorus and can be found pretty often on the used market for 35 bucks, that alone makes it worth checking out.. i mean hell, skip going to a restaraunt for dinner once and you got yourself bass chorus

I used a Boss CE-3 for a while, but it sucked quite a bit of low end. I picked up a Small Clone myself and love it. It's so organic sounding, no low end loss, and I got mine for about 30 bucks.

Like a few have said, it only had a rate knob and a depth switch, but I've seen a tone of people replace the switch with a knob to give more variation. However, I've had no reason to do this as I think the depth switch works well enough.

That new VT sounds promising but as far as "bang for the buck" goes I love my T-Rex Sweeper Chorus.

Another vote for the EHX Small Clone.

Tech 21's new Boost Chorus looks promising... They make one especially for bass... There may be a couple of demos on YouTube...

Personally, I'm happy with my EHX Clone Theory... in chorus mode 1 (non adjustable depth) it's a very clean and glassy sound. In mode 2, with depth and rate knobs set to about 11 o'clock, you can get that really thick velvety tone that no other chorus pedal can get, great for lead bass tones...

i have a little angel clone and it works splendid...ads a bit of metallic sound,somewhat like jaco p. on <heavy n jazz> recording...
nevertheless,i think small clone is perfect for bass,plus,it s not expencive
and you can always buy t rex,costs much,looks damn cool,does the job..

any word on akai chorus anyone?
never tried these babies,and i would love to hear some reviews....

For me the Analogman Standard Chorus can't be beat. Especially with the optional "Deep" toggle switch which makes it particularly effective with a bass. Has bypass. Was modeled on the original EX Small Clone. True bypass (since 2000), depth knob, speed knob and USA made circuit boards, double-sided to isolate the signal from any noise, and professionally soldered for perfect, reliable circuitry. These also have more shielding, less jumpers, and no volume drop when the pedal is switched ON. Not to mention the optional "Deep" toggle. A must for bassists. And you can turn it off for other sounds or for playing standard guitar with it. http://www.analogman.com/clone.htm

This thread reminds me that after going out trying to find a Small Clone, I finally brought home an MXR Stereo Chorus. For me, that's the sex in chorus.

I use the Boss CEB-3 now because it goes nice with my current pedal configuration. I had the EHX Small Clone for a while but it didn't sound good at all with my VT Deluxe. Check out my YouTube vids to see how they sound in my pedal configurations.
