i was looking into the boss bass chorus or the digitech multi chorus. I was wondering if anyone knew which one would sound better with the boss limiter enhancer. I was looking for the most smooth sound for melody. If you know of any other pedals that would sound smoother with the limiter enhancer let me know. Thanks

digitech or boss?

If you visit Musician's Friend's site, you can access soundclips for Boss and DT choruses.
The limiter/compressor really doesn't alter the bedrock quality of your sound but the nuances like sustain and dynamics.
A chorus may sound a bit less lush if you happen to set your threshold and compression ratio just right. But a compressor can do that to a lot of effects.
Just buy the chorus you want. You can't go wrong with either brand and there's always room in a pedal board for a chorus (a lot of us have them). Then experiment. That's all I can suggest to you.
Edit: Your sound gets even richer if you combine a chorus and an octaver.
Snag that UniBass from E Gay ($175 BIN)!

Boss all the way. Digitech is notorious for bad customer support, bad product,s and far to digital noise. Digitech's is easier to use at first, but hte Boss' can be tweaked to perfection IMO.
I agree concerning the Digitech "digital" sound. But it can be an advantage, or something you look at. The multichorus is odd. Way odder than the Boss. It can be seen as a difference.
My TC Electronics is good, but for completely insane sounds, this Digitech multichorus would be better IMO.
(Anyway, I keep my TC

The Bass Squeeze and the Bass Limiter pretty much do the same things.
The Digi-Tech has an advantage here in that the threshold controls are broken down into two freq ranges. So you can have separate thresholds settings for your low notes and your high notes. On top of that you can even set the crossover freq that the threshold controls affect.
I considered both brands but when I was out to buy, but neither were in stock. I ended up testing two MXR Comps. Dyna and Super. I ended up with the Super.

I love my Digitech Bass Chorus. I can go anywhere from a subtle 2-voice, to a haunting, warbly 16 voce. Very sweet pedal, I kick it in a lot when I get melodies, or need to add just a little more to a section.
