anyone tried the mxr black label chorus?
« on: May 26, 2010, 06:44:09 PM »
Just wondering if anyone has tried out the new mxr black label chorus? I'm told by my local guitar store that it doesn't get released in Australia until mid June, so I can't get my hands on it just yet to test it out.
I've heard the clips on youtube, but I'm just digging around for more user opinions, especially what it's like to use with distortion.
Cheers guys

It's only just been released I think.

I'm sure there are far nicer choruses out there for the money. IMHO anything with that guys name on it is pretty much shite anyway. Altho the Epi Custom Guitars aren't too bad, just well over priced.

i'd say be careful - i've had both the wylde wah and the overdrive (because i went through a bit of a zakk-appreciation phase!)
They were ok pedals but nothing really special, just make sure it sounds good through an amp and not just pc speakers before you part with your cash.  Besides, i think historically he used the blue boss chorus pedal...anyway, your cash, your call!
:D

Yeah I wasnt a big fan of the od or the wah. I'll definately try the chorus before i make my mind up. I was also trying to stay clear of boss, i had a boss ce20 (dual pedal chorus) which wasnt to my taste, so are there any choruses that you could recommend? I'm looking for one that sounds good with distortion.

Was about to mention the old TC Electronic Stereo Chorus (was a very clean, transparent, and great sounding chorus/flanger, don't know if the reissue is on par with the original), but I never heard or tried it with distortion.
