dont know your example, however the analogman chorus is the highest quality chorus ive ever heard. if you order one you need to ask for the deep mod/deep toggle switch, this will make it bass-friendly.

as usual, i'd reccomend staying away from all of the boss chorus pedals.

I used to use a Boss CE-5 rather than the Bass CEB version. Its quite subtle, but nice sounding.

I have also owned a Digitech Multi Voice Chorus. Personally, I found the Digitech to be pretty cold/sterile sounding.

I 2nd the Analogman chorus with deep toggle. I can't decide between the standard chorus with an expression pedal or the 2 channel Bi-chorus.

I have used Boss chorus pedals and never much cared for them...solid pedals as all Boss stuff typically is, I just didn't care for the chorus in particular.

I have a Guyatone chorus that I would put up against a Boss any day.

I also have the Univibe Stereo Chorus/Vibrato pedal and although I haven't used it much yet, I can tell it will be getting tons of use pretty soon.

I don't have any pedals to suggest; however, I can say that the Boss CE-5 sounds very digital, to the point of being unusable.

I recently scored a EBS Unichorus and I really like it. Very warm sounding and just what I was looking for.

I know you tube is not ideal for hearing bass....but you can pretty much tell what jimbo_226 wants...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuyfPdjR0EY


I'm also looking for this kind of effect also...but I looked up that pedal you guys mentioned earlier, analogman chorus...it's like $225 or so!

What other recommendations do you guys have?

I would imagine the Boss CE-5 is closer than the Analogman to his rackmount Yamaha chorus (I forget the model).

You need a bright, 80's sounding chorus to get it right, IMO.

I have been through tons of chorus pedals over the years, and although the best one was my treasured amdek ch100 it fell apart a few years ago, and was replaced with the next best thing after a boss ce1, which was the boss ce2, very nice and not at all like the newer, (slightly nastier imho) sounding ones.

Give us a price range then, it will give us a better chance of recommending something

Oh, Man... I borrowed my Brother's a couple months back, and freaked on it - especially on the Vib sound.

I recently read an ad for someone's vib or chorus, inwhich it was said that while it's not an overly subtle pedal, "it won't make you seasick". I thought to myself "That's what I love about the UniVib; it makes you seasick!".

The chorus mode - just objectively speaking - definately sounds more like a PHASER to me, rather than a chorus - but beautiful it is!
