MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe or Analog Chorus??

Seems the Deluxe has more options (especially the crossover) but the Analog Chorus is quieter (and cheaper) ... which do you think??
Thanks!

Bass Chorus Deluxe would be my choice by very far.
I've not perceived a noise problem with this pedal at all. For the record.

The noise "issue" I think really depends on your setup. I run the mxr BCD in a chain of about 7 other pedals, 1 being a preamp, and I get some noise when the flanger is engaged. I've only had the pedal for a month or so so I haven't really grown very familiar with my settings on my whole rig in relation to the mxr. But it's still on my board regardless of the noise it makes through my rig so that should tell you something.

FWIW I did not think the Analog Chorus was lacking in bass response when I tried one out. The Bass Chorus Deluxe may be better for bass, all things being equal, but I don't think you would be disappointed if you went with the Analog.

I was very disappointed in the bass chorus deluxe. Just did not do anything for me- I actually preferred my old Boss chorus

I have the analog chorus, and don't find it to be lacking. That said, I haven't compared it to the BCD.

Which boss chorus do you use, the CEB 3 for bass or just the regular chorus?

I yse the. CEB 3....I actually traded it in when I got the mxr bass chorus deluxe but GC was very cool and sold it back to me for the very same price they gave me for it originally

Wow, that's a surprise. GC usually won't do stuff like that. I have the CEB 3 on my board too. I used the mxr for the flanger. Until I come across something better, they'll stay right were they are.

thanks for the responses - getting the Deluxe (for the crossover)
