New EHX Bass Clone Chorus
- Thread starter michaelsee3

Has anyone compared this to a Chorusaurus or MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe? It seems like having a crossover is better than having a blend, but the MXR has both...
Does anyone want for a blend knob on the EHX?

I really like my Bass Clone. It's become a staple mod pedal on my board. As Master Chief said, it really blossoms when you push it a bit with some dirt. And to answer @jasonbraatz -- I don't think it needs a blend knob. The way the EQ controls and crossover work together to keep your low end makes a blend pretty much redundant.
Anybody compared it directly to a Small Clone on bass, like an A/B thing? I'm wondering if I should replace my Small Clone for a Bass Clone, but can't seem to find any in local stores to try 'em out. I'll have to order. Feedback from you guys would help to make a decision.
I've read a review saying that the chorus effect of the Bass Clone wasn't sounding as deep as the Small Clone. True?

I really like this pedal. Does anybody know where the Xover is set? I keep thinking it's at 100Hz but not listed on my instruction sheet or I just over looked it.
Forget about it ! I just got one. All my chorus dreams came true with enough money left to buy grocery

Where did you order it from? Got mine through Amazon. Ordered Monday, here today.Still waiting for mine to ship out, says it's backordered until the 17th.
Knocked the Tech 21 BBC off my board, because: (1) I could get a slow modulation and (2) crossover allows me to tighten bass without also losing chorus effect or creating phase-cancellation as the blend forced me to do on the BBC. Very happy!
I picked one up yesterday based on the Youtube reviews. I love it. One thing I've noticed is that when the crossover is not engaged and the bass is at noon, it has some issue picking up my C on the A string. It kind of goes dead after the initial attack. Other notes too...like they're too much for it. Weird. If I boost or cut the bass knob, it's fine. Is that a thing with chorus pedals? I'm kind of new the pedal thing, too. Side note: it sounds excellent after my DBBM Pi....
This is to be expected, because the chorus is effecting the low end with the crossover disabled. The delayed signal used to create chorus is out-of-phase at the notes you hear dropping out. The bass control only effects the dry, so when you shift it up or down, either the dry bass or the delayed bass takes prominence and you hear the bass again. The crossover is there to solve this problem!
Yes, "out of phase" is what it sounds like! Cool, thanks for the explanation. I love the pedal, and the price is certainly right!
I run the X-over always on. Kind of a set it & forget it thing. IIRC it crosses at 100Hz?
Wish I knew, but I don't. I would think a little higher though, as they probably only use a single-pole filter and thus wouldn't get much attenuation below 100Hz (6dB per octave). I'd guess between 200-400Hz.
