Danolectro Fab Chorus

This is an odd find.
I am sure many will laugh me out into the street, but here goes.

I was haunting local pawn shops, as I tend to do at least once a week. My target? Any pedals that look cool.
I do this quite a lot, just to play with tones on the cheap.

I found one of these for $10 and think I found the best chorus to date for my bass set up (Bugera BVP5500 + Ampeg SVT-410 HLF + G & L ASAT Active).
Thick rich and creamy with a low amount of noise (note I said low). Very simple pedal, which I think my guitar player might steal from me, it really sounds that good.

If you see one on the cheap, it is worth checking out. I will be using it for now until I find something far, far better.

My son has one of these and several from Dano's FAB line...they're inexpensive and unique.
I have never tried it on a bass, but now I'm curious.

Happy hunting.

Love the sound, hate the enclosure/layout.

I bought a danelectro fab chorus pedal and it sounds phenomenal on bass. it gives my bass a smooth retro chorus sound. I once typed down a review on this chorus pedal on this website it works real good on active and passive basses. and it handles low b strings too. I definitely recommend this chorus pedal to anyone looking for a good affordable chorus pedal.

Here's my review on the danelectro fab chorus pedal.

Glad to know I am not just high, which is usually the case. I play bass after all.

Love this pedal for bass. My guitar player is going to swap out his nano clone for one of these, as this one has better sound with less noise for guitar.

Funny, you can spend 50 bones on complete crap one day and 10 bones for something killer the next.

I have never tried this one. i have the metal distortion, and with the gain all the way down it gives a nice Cliff Burton-esque type of overdrive. but i think i will have to try this one.

I have the Fab Chorus on my church board. It remains one of the best sounding choruses I've ever come across, even if the enclosure isn't terribly durable.
