BASS CHORUS + TREMOLO PEDAL IN ONE

Hi guys,
I am looking for a two in one chorus and tremolo pedal that works well on bass. I have an old multi FX unit that has both but I want a nice more compact size and no screen.

Any recommendation's? I was looking at the EHX mod 11 or maybe it would be a safer bet to try something cheaper like the Donner square mod?

I use an EHX switchblade pro for blending.

Let me know what you think homies,
Thank you!

EDIT: I own a June 60 by TC, its a nice sound but not true bypass, so it blocks my other pedals when its off. I also am looking to spend not more than $150!

Southampton Utility Knife is great.

Flanger, phaser, chorus, and tremolo.
All sound great.

It's a fine pedal, but to me, the chorus is a weak link. The phaser and flanger sound great, and while I didn't use the trem much, it sounded like it would do what I would expect a good trem to do.

I bought it thinking I could get all my modulation needs taken care of in one box, but let it go in favor of a CE-2w when I realized "my modulation needs" were 95% chorus, and the one in the Utility Knife wasn't doing it for me.

Why does it have to be one pedal? Keep it simple?

Tremolo going into chorus sounds glorious, has an almost harmonic tremolo -esque quality about it, just with a much more prominent modulation effect.

How I almost exclusively apply chorus, with a tremolo going into a chorus effect.

To be exact what I use if my Behringer UT100 Ultra Termolo (exact same as the UT300, just rebranded), which is supposed to be a clone of the Boss TR-2, which I also own, but much prefer the sound of the Behringer, going into a TC Electronic Shaker Mini, loaded with a custom Toneprint, where I switched off the "Kill Dry" mode, used the "Vibrato" modulation mode, with a "Triangle" wave shape, and the "Ramp" knob assigned to control the wet/dry "Mix" (which gives me a super lush beautiful chorus effect that sounds somewhat like one could perhaps imagine a fusion between a Boss CE-1 and an EHX Small Stone, that I much prefer to any of the dedicated chorus model options available with the Shaker Toneprint editor, in fact this might be the best chorus effect I ever tried or even heard).

Gives me a super lush beautiful slightly pulsating and wobbling chorus effect with a quality almost harmonic tremolo with a super pronounced modulation -esque effect.

I use an EHX Bass Clone that has a great chorus sound and a very good tremolo knob too. Quite cheap, and does the job for me! If you're a fan of the Peter Hook sound, you'll like the pedal – it sounds very full to me, which is refreshing given the amount of "thin"-sounding bass pedals out there that suck the bass out of your tone.

Lol...I sold mine a while back. Now using a Source Audio Lunar, it was a bumpy ride at first...but after spending a while working out my patches...I can't see me letting this one go. Did the GFI Synesthesia not work out for you?

I have had a GFI Synesthesia and a Wampler Terraform. Both were good, but Strymons have their signature tone. That is why they stay with me (or return so many times). Mobius just sits well in the mix, but it has to be tuned alot for this.
