Favorite Bass Chorus Pedals?

[6ULDV8]

I have a Boss CEB-3. I would like to replace it with something more spatial and liquidey. Any suggs? What about Thompson pedals? I'm wondering what are some of ya'lls favs?

i use a boss guitar chorus from the late 80's and it sounds 6000000x better than any bass chorus ive ever tryed

[RickenBoogie]

I've owned dozens of chorus pedals, and without a doubt, the BEST one i've heard is the Maxon CS9Pro. It fits your description to a tee.

the Visual Sound H2O works great for bass

Tried the analogman chorus recently in a shop.... can barely look at my ceb-3 since....

[Getaway Driver]

I loves my Digitech Bass Multi-chorus. It's got really wide range of available sounds, but I almost feel like that point is moot since you set it one sound and that's all you use... I liked it better than the Boss bass chorus but I've never tried the small clone or any other choruses.

I'm in the market for a chorus too so I'll just jump into this thread for fun... seems one like it comes up every couple months but whatever.

my current short list to decide from:

-EBS Unichorus (a bit out of my budget but...)
-Digitech Hardwire CR-7
-EHX Nano Clone

Any standouts or suggested additions?

+1 for Analogman - with a Deep Setting Toggle Option and 18v. Ultimate bass chorus IMHO.

Take the Nano Clone off of your list...trust me on this.

j nition -
Word of warning - the Nano Clone suffers from 3 problems.
1.) noisy
2.) significant volume drop
3.) reversed power supply plug - so if you daisy-chain it with other pedals, it shuts down the power to all of them.

I loved the tone, and could have lived with the noise or even the power supply issue. Instead, I traded it for a Clone Theory (which has the noise, but not the other two problems). That said, I'm using the Hardwire CR-7 now and love it (and managed to duplicate the tone I liked in the Clone Theory but without the hissing)

Another vote for the Analogman Clone Chorus here. I absolutely love mine, and with the three way switch you get three different flavours: normal (normal), thin (sparkly highs, clean lows) and deep (heavily effected, thick warbly bass). I power mine with the 12V out on my T-rex Fuel Tank. At first I used a 9V supply but I found that it would distort slightly with some active basses. Then I tried a 15V supply which made it really clean and rich, but added a bit too much of a volume boost for my liking. 12V seems to be the perfect amount for this pedal

For chorus on the cheap, I have a Delta Labs chorus pedal, and aside from the blinking LED, I think it sounds very round, liquid and somewhat transparent. It can be thick at times to...

[BigBassBob]

On the point of cheap solutions, I really liked my older Danelectro Cool Cat (the 9V version that proceeded the well-regarded 18V version). However, I only had it for a month when it started to develop a slight hiss. Then a month or so later the switch broke

Other than the poor build quality, I thought it sounded very nice

I agree. Very "liquidey" IMO.

You serious about the Nano Clone? I didn't like it one bit
When I bought my EHX Stereo Electric Mistress I tried every chorus from EHX (Nano Clone, Small Clone, Clone Theory) and I think a Maxon as well which sounded really organic as far as I can recall (Been using my SEM for a year and a half by now). I've also tried a Boss Bass Chorus, but it sounded horrible! Too fake and maybe digital, which is ironic since the SEM is digital itself. However, the parallel Chorus/Flanger combinations you get from the SEM is what got me. Try it out and tweek it for a while.
Oh, I've also tried VisualSound's Liquid Chorus on a rehearsal with my band. It's very lush and tweakable, so try it out as well, you may lurve it

+1000 I have tried out several chorus pedals for bass and this was always my favorite...PLUS the delay is probably one of the better delays on bass that I have heard.

[SoonerMatt]

+1 for the Hardwire CR-7.

I like mine too, but yesterday I purchased a DigiTech X-Series Bass Multi Chorus I liking better

[j_nition]

hmm... I do need a delay too. two birds with one stone?

I'm leaning toward the hardwire cr-7 otherwise.

...and to the OP: Sorry to hijack your thread but I hope this helps you too!
