What is Your Favorite Chorus ?

[MrClassicMetal]

This is the one I have. Not expensive, doesn't take much space, and sounds damn good:

 

[Killing Floor]

Honestly my favorite is from tape style delays like El Cap or T120. But I do like Julia and Analogman also.

 

[Killing Floor]

Also adding the BSRI “Everything…” chorus is beautiful sounding.

I bought an HX One and it has a ton of great chorus sounds in it. The dimensions and standard chorus sounds are fantastic in it.

I tried the MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe and Julia and the HX One's Line 6 model called "Chorus" sounds best.

EHX small clone. IMO, that is the most lush and vibrant and able to hold the low end quite well.

I bought one and its pedal was DOA and I returned it. I should try another.

 

[Quentin MCB]

Definitely Sonny Stitt's one on "Sunny Side of The Street"

 

[5StringBlues]

Hallelujah!

 

[panzerfaust]

Go older chorus. The MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe sounds great and has smart features, like the tone controls, flanger mode and the crossover option.

i am MXR bass chorus deluxe user and satisfied with it, it produces natural sound yet so sci-fi and psychedelic

i use that pedal on my song, go check it, it could fills the sound gap between accoustic guitar and cajon

I play blues and blues/ rock swampy stuff. Do I need a chorus ?

Polytope; hands down.

Another vote for the Polytope. Really want to try the Providence though.

Providence Anadime Bass Chorus. I didn't think I liked the chorus effect until I heard this thing.

Ive gone through a number of choruses being a fretless player, and the Anadime bass is 80% what the Polytope is. Eventually, just for giggles, the Analogue is something i might pick up.

+1 to the Polytope, and for Helix choruses. My top two favs in the Helix are the Dimension and 4-Voice Chorus, by far. 4-Voice seems to win with my 80's band though. The Dimension is a little "wider" sounding, but the 4-Voice is a little more lush and present in the mix.

Taylor has posted that he's working on getting Iron Ether pedals into better production, so it sounds like availability of Polytopes might be better in the not too distant future. The Boss Dimension C Waza might also be worth checking out in the meantime.

The Anadime has been on my list to try for a while, but with @Gorilla Monsoon's comment about the Anadime vs. the Polytope and having the two in the Stomp that I love... maybe it'll be a pedal for a rainy day.

Great suggestion. I've messed around with really short delay as a chorus (like 15-30ms short), and it's great for getting a really interesting, non-traditional (speed & depth) chorus sound. Similar to a detune chorus, but with it's own flavor: Chorus, but uniquely not chorus.

I've used an MXR Bass Chorus, a CEB-3 Clone, and the Polytope, and the Polytope went above and beyond. The MXR was too subtle for me, and though I loved the CEB-3 clone, the build quality wasn't great. When I finally got the Polytope it ended my search, it's just such an incredible pedal.

I would suggest that you don't bother to ask us when all that really matters is if YOU think you might like to add that color to your sonic palette.

Do you like the sound?

 

[ezra1]

I have

 

[Lammchop93]

Ibanez CS9 or BC10. It is THE chorus tone in my head and very simple controls.

 

[Hevy T]

I really dig "Don't Stop Believing," as it's really catchy. "We got the beat" by The Go Gos is pretty catchy, too.

My strategy for unfamiliar effects has been to buy used for as little as possible, try it out, and if I don't want it, resell for the same price I bought it for.

Id suggest rather an octave and reverb. Listen to Reverend Al Green-“Lets Stay Together “, then CCR- “Born on the Bayou”. You can certainly throw in a chorus as well. Possibly ditch the octave for a LowRider.
