i've always been a fan of the original small clone. isn't the analogman clone chorus a clone of the EHX clone?
now it's in a tiny nano-style casing. no reason not to get it now.

MXR Microchorus or the Small Clone are the CORRECT answers to the OPs question.
Seems like most people are just listing the chorus pedal they use.
Typical talkbass bulsh.

+1 to eric's suggestion of boss ce-2b. cheap and capable of better sounds than most other chorus' that you can get for around $50. ce-2b > ceb-3 imho.
Hmmm, most folks use the one they use because they like it. So of course folks will recommend the one they use.
Let me extol the virtues of the one I recommend, the CEB-3.
1. It is easy to use.
2. Yes, it has more than 1 or 2 knobs, because there are other things to control. I like the fact you can set the rate, depth, and blend independently. I set and forget the filter.
3. It's cheap.
4. I personally have never had a single Boss pedal crap out on me. Ever.
Nope. Not at all.
OP said he wants a cheap, simple chorus... and people immediately start rec'n the Analogman, or choruses with four knobs?
It's like someone asking where they can get a cheap burger and getting recommended they try a filet mignon instead.

How is there a right answer to the OP's question?
I don't agree with the guy recommending the analogman either but that was one suggestion among a see of cheap, decent chorus pedals.
Recommending a Boss CE-5 is only slightly outside of the OP's box. It's not as if someone recommended a top-of-the-line pedal with 8 knobs. The CE-5 can be found cheap, and the two extra controls are no-brainers, and very useful. OPs aren't carved in stone; there's usually a little wiggle room... just don't go overboard.

Fair enough, there isn't a "right" answer, but there are certainly "wrong" recs, and $200 aint cheap unless you are rich enough to not think so.
All I'm saying is he laid out pretty clear guidelines as to what he was looking for, and they went half ignored. Not totally, but enough that I felt like commenting on it.
I'm just in a bad mood cause my mom is dying.
Now you know.
Mojoz sent. Chin up
Thanks man. DIGITAL HUGZ!
As far as the DOD FX62...

They are GREAT sounding and cheap. BUT they have more controls than he wants, and they're definitely volume/tone suckers. BAD bypass, bad!
Traded mine, but I want another. I'll just add a different style footswitch and T/B this time round.
I've owned a Boss PS-3, PS-5, Hardwire stereo chorus, and MXR Micro Chorus, and the MXR is the only one I still have. I don't know if I'd call it a subtle chorus, though, it's very present no matter what the setting. So simple, so versatile, very small footprint, and relatively cheap ($80 new). I highly recommend!

Sorry to hear that man.
The Boss CE-3 is really nice. For some reason, all it's gotten in reviews is crap for it's "noisiness" or whatever, but so far, I haven't experienced a lick of noisiness or feedback or hum or anything. It's just a nice, warm chorus. Bonus is that it's stereo, so it's possible to turn it into a vibrato with the flick of a switch.
OK, to clarify:
The Behringer BUC400 is cheap ($30) and it sounds quite decent. It does have four knobs, but if you plan to use it for a standard chorus sound, you'd leave the level knob at 12, the filter knob at the "flat" setting, and only adjust the rate and depth knobs - so that's pretty simple.
