Best Mini Chorus Pedal?

[Ludvig Frovin]

Hi
I'm am also looking to get a mini chorus, and after researching a bit, I have narrowed it down to these candidates. Does anybody have any thoughts/experiences with these, or perhaps some other recommendations?

Mxr micro chorus?

I have the Ibanez, but the valeton MDR is well worth a look.

I appreciate the suggestion, but that pedal is unfortunately too large. I need something more akin to a 1590a enclosure

The Valeton looks interesting, but it is unfortunately not really available where I live. How are you liking the Ibanez? Is there any low end loss or muddiness?

Not to my ear. The Valeton Coral MDR isn't readily available in Australia either. Got mine from Ali express or similar. The delay/chorus combination for tape echo style stuff is really great

The original Ibanez CS9 was my long time fave and the mini has all the right sounds.

Dollar for dollar, that Ensemble Queen really is pretty hard to beat. Nobody is gonna look at it and be impressed but neither is anyone gonna hear it and think it's anything but a quality workhorse bass chorus.

I have the EHX Bass Stone, and it works nicely. It's understated, doesn't go into deep crazy soundscapes, but the Xover switch is a nice touch when I want it. Imminently affordable.

Without my glasses on yet, at first I thought I read, Best Mini Cheese Pizza?

Effects Bakery Melon Pan Chorus
An oddball recommendation but worth a look. Can do the watery, phasey chorus as well as vibe-ish leslie swirls. Also, super cheap (~$45 us). You probably won't find one to try but they ship. Did I mention it is very very inexpensive?!
You probably won't find a bass demo but there are plenty of guitar demos so you'll get the idea.

That looks interesting! Do you know if there is any low end loss with it?

I don't notice too much low end loss. Of course, with chorus pedals that is somewhat subjective.
I run it after fuzz and it does a nice thick synthy sound with some movement.
I've also had the mini Ibanez from your list. It is a good solid chorus with a classic sound.

People have said great things about the Mr. Black one, but it has been discontinued and is hard to find.

I ended up getting the Ibanez one and like it fine, but I don't have anything to compare it to.
