Your Effects Pedal Usage : Chorus ?

I've also got 2 choruses

Boss PS-3 on mode 8. This is for really spacey and lush chorus. I have the effect level at 11:00. First detune at 11:33 and the second at 1:00. Keeps it from getting too warbly, and fills out sooo nicely for ambient parts.

Boss CE-5 for more icicle type sounds. Effect level around 3:00. Rate around 11:00. Depth around 5:00. Bass at 11:00 and treble at 3:00. It's good for a standard chorus and works well in conjunction with delay.
 
I use an Analogman Bi-Chorus with the deep setting set to bass. It's third to last in my effects chain right before my volume pedal and delay.

It's used in two settings:
rate 7:00 depth 5:00 for lines where I am holding the notes to give them a little bit of movement
rate 3:00 depth 11:00 for use in conjunction with my volume pedal to give a more convincing cello-like tone.
 
I use a little chorus at the end of synth chains occasionally. I try to work it in occasionally but usually go in favor of the polychorus's flange. I've been wearing it out a bit though, and the polychorus's chorus is capable of a wide range of tones. While reading these threads I started playing with the hog and chorus, and came up with a cool variation of some sounds ive been using.

Here's a clip I just posted in the octave thread: HOG-BrownDog-MoogLowpass-Polychorus. I didn't dial in a specific chorus setting, but it was relatively subtle and gave the synth a little movement and stretch. Im using the glide function on the HOG with an exp pedal, midi sync'd ramp lfo on the mf101, and changing settings on the polychorus starting around 1:30:

Cool clip.
 
Just recently started playing with chorus on bass. I'm using it with synth stuff for the most part but I don't play fretless. Stereo Electric Mistress is proving able to do the subtle thing pretty well actually. I needed a chorus/flanger in one box and chorus is really pretty lush and standard sounding (as opposed to the whacky flanger that I'm really warming up to as well). My latest synth chain is Devi Ever Bit Fuzz->Micro POG Octaver (mostly octaves, bit fuzz mixed in subtly)->Boss ODB-3 "Overdrive" (have a Flying Tomato on the way so we'll see if the trusty ODB stays)->Micro Q-Tron->Nano Small Stone Phaser->Stereo Electric Mistress with the flanger off and and a light chorus. Sounds pretty good so far.
